@espn why don’t I get any of your programming anymore? I have a service provider and I’m paying for ESPN+. I’m not using Twitter much anymore so please DM me.

And this is why I’ve had to mute the #rsl broadcasts all season.

This might be in the top 5 of worst RSL games I have ever seen.

@TomCantHackett And too many are being allowed to keep playing despite not playing their role.

Heavy touch after heavy touch after heavy touch. All the time. At this level, it is not acceptable. Too many RSL players are being asked to play too big of a role, simple. #RSL

@WasatchSnow My team lived and died by it, so I share that. But if the other team knows it’s coming, it’s a weak set piece at best, and an easy counter attack with all defenders out of position at worst. And if you do it every throw...

@dtpowski I may be biased though, I was a long throw specialist in my playing days. 😉

@WasatchSnow Also, how often do they result in a loss of possession, and how often does the possession gained from a short throw result in a sequence that may end up more dangerous than a hopeful cross?

@dtpowski Tell that to Rory Delap. Statistically, they result in goals far more often than short, possession throws. But long throws have a much higher immediate fail rate which gives the perception that they don’t work well. There’s a reason they are done frequently.

Are we talking about #rsl’s form this half? 👇
Dan Farnes@danfarnsey

@rslsoapbox Hard to tell. It could be a fungus, disease, or Poa patches (like we have had problems with). Maybe budget cuts/no support or heavy event load. Ya know, things happen, you just have to hope it plays ok, is safe, and that we get the W.
