Yes, I know a free kick was the "correct" decision, but nobody would have argued if a throw in was given. I was always taught that using common sense was the unwritten law of football.
Clever & sneaky from the player. Do we know what transpired from the free kick?
should just give the throw in, was beyond pedantic that one
How can you give a throw when the whole world and his wife can see that the ball is still in play?
For me (As AR), I would be probably telling the (not very bright) player that, but you can't give the throw in - making up your own law is never a great way to go.
What do you do the rest of the match, start calling throws every time the ball goes near the touchline?

I know you won't like it Paul, but officials make up laws all the time! The throw in given to us at Luton last season when the ball hit the assistant in the field of play. The mysterious free kick given to the defenders after the referee realises he has wrongly given a corner. The tiny contact made by a player that has pissed off the ref might even mean a caution as well as giving a free kick.
I assumed that in this instance one side were deliberately putting the ball "out of play" for an injury to be treated. If this is so, give a throw in & the law of common sense trumps all others!

I don't think he was Terry. Think he did it to win a free kick, which worked!
Its like the corner kick trick from a few years ago - its possible to manage it, whilst keeping to the law.
I take your point but saying the ball is not in play when everyone can see it is, is stretching it a bit I think!

Thought it was very clever and, as Pinner says, it’s either in play or it’s not, you cant just make it up as you go along. Nothing to stop him booking the player for unsporting conduct though. Would be a bit harsh though
Think it's a fantastic piece of play and surely you are told to play to the whistle or in this case the AR flag . Should've tried it on the bye line in the penalty area see if the player is daft enough to concede a penalty
