This footballer appeared to get confused by the shadow on the pitch and threw in from totally the wrong place (probably…)
The shadow cast by the stadium on a football pitch can be a pain in the backside for viewers but we’ve never known it to confuse the players before.
Except just how confused was this Reading player in their final game of the season against Cardiff?
Did anyone else just see this in the Cardiff game? Throw in from the shadow line rather than the actual touch line?? Nobody picked up on it! pic.twitter.com/sWWSJukHbK

Except not everyone was convinced it was the wrong place, generating the sort of heated debate we haven’t witnessed since the last time someone mentioned Brexit.

The line at the bottom is the ad boards. Look at the distance to the 18 yard box it's too far from where you think the line is

That line literally goes to meet the corner flag. You’re so wrong

The replies to this
The white line you all think is the touchline is the top of the advertising boards. He took it throw from the right place!— James (@Spunge1984) May 6, 2018
