Nothing in the laws of game about it. Could use your shirt as well if you wanted to.

Heres one for you what if they have gloves on as well. I know mick palmer used to throw as far as dunlap on his day so hes my pick for the longest throw. Who have you knuckleheads seen with a cracker of a throw. What about in the golden years when the leather was that slippery you could barely hold it let alone throw it .
Back to your question Downy I personally like to dry my balls with a towel and I heard nugget likes to dry his by getting lefty around.... :shock: :shock: :shock:
There is no I in team, but there is a u in suck...

the ball boys give the player the towel.
the FA looked at it years ago, and the now ball boys give the towel to "both" teams

A team has a perfectly legal weapon in their armoury (towels to dry the ball are also legal) and people just want to whinge all because it is the great Stoke City and the so called 'big teams' cannot handle it.

What about if the other team wins the ball from the throw in, some things can backfire work against you ?

i would like to see an opposing player accept the towel, give it a twirl and tea towel whip the towel boy with it, then continue to take a short throw.

There are a few teams (or players) that would grab the towel, throw the ball away and then proceed to throw in the towel !
