It is a form of cheating, of course, but one quite commonly practiced and seem by many players (it seems not including Joe Jordan) as a legitimate trick to use. <BR/><BR/>I don't understand the contrast with a throw-in, which is putting back the ball into play when it has gone outside the limits of the playing field, and has no relation to cheating. But I am not too well acquainted with the football jaragon of English (as opposed to Spanish) so someone else should better confirm my words. I don't understand the connection with a priori and a posteriori reasoning either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
