Just saw a clip of a player scoring from a back flip throw in. The keeper clipped it as it went past him so the goal stood. I seem to remember Dariusz Kubicki scoring directly from a throw in once, which was disallowed despite protests from Sunderland claiming a player got a touch on the way. Got me wondering. Why arnt players allowed to score directly from a throw in? I thought, maybe because of the fact a player should not be able to score with his hands? But then, in theory, a goalkeeper is allowed to score from a long throw from his own area. But keepers are allowed use their hands in their own area. But so are outfield players at throw ins. So why cant a player score directly from a throw in??????
