The Long Throw

I can only tell you what I heard

Well whoever said it was WRONG, mistaken to be kind!!

Think this clears it up

Tom Barkhuizen has been going long for Preston North End's Championship cause

Tom Barkhuizen has been launching attacks with his arms as much as his feet in Preston North End’s fight to ensure Championship status.

Tom ‘Delap’ Barkhuizen.

Absolutely, I've seen it many times used by both Grayson and Neil.

Neil chose not to use it, but perhaps the wrist injury did have a bearing on it.

Wasn’t there one occasion near the end of last season (before lockdown) where he had to remove his wrist support to take a long throw? He put it back on afterwards. There was a long period when he had his injury when he couldn’t take throws.

I like us being more direct. The goal is at the far end of the pitch so get it up there. Passing it around in your own penalty area is an accident waiting to happen. John Beck knew a thing or two about stats and long throws, although I must admit I hated the football.

Maybe it’s TB‘s own decision to take long throws to show he can contribute something and get himself a new 3 year deal

To be fair to Alex Neil, I heard a rumor that barky only owned up to having a missile throw-in after he left, and it wasn't him that stepped up it was bodin that said to the boss that he'd seen the throw in during a lineout at a game of friendly pissed up touch rugby at his house pre lockdown. Bodin has a massive garden apparently.

Fact 👍

I can confirm that it’s true. Bodin famously has a collection of antique and rebuilt trebuchet’s in his massive garden that they use to test Barky against. Was told by Sinclair’s butcher.

Corroborating evidence if there ever was some, and to think some of the posters on here didnt think it was true. Cheers for speaking up jarjar 👍🏻

You failed to mention Mrs Bodin's huge bush in said massive garden.

I've heard it's exceptionally well kept sid

I haven't seen it myself but I believe you are correct. Apparently, Barky runs right up to it and throws the ball as high as he can to get it over the top 👍.

Isn't she rather fond of peonies?

I remember St. Ledgers goal 12 years ago from a Parkin long throw in which got us in to the play offs.
Good weapon when used well.

I'll never forget that one.. It was like it was yesterday. I remember thinking " where the F did that come from " ? He tried it quite regularly after that but never quite got the same distance. Great memories. 🙂

Er, yes 👍

John Beck took it to the extreme to be honest.

She has a cock on top of her bush...

Bodins big garden end of season barbeque could be decent this year

He suggested the long throws to FM

Who took the long throw that led to winning last min goal v Wednesday a few years back? Always thought that was Barks.
As others say, useful tool in the arsenal so why not use it?
