Talk:Rory Delap

message: The article states that The world record is 46 metres. Is that record Delap's or someone else's?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.30.129.22 (talk) 15:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  World record? 

message: This is one of my favourite paragraphs ever on Wikipedia:
"It is now a normal occurrence to hear the Britannia Stadium home fans initiate a constant and expectant "woo"-sound (similar to that often heard at football grounds as a goalkeeper prepares to take a goal-kick) that gradually increases in volume and pitch from the moment Delap positions himself with ball in hand by the touch-line until the player embarks on his run towards the line and launches the ball on its airborne trajectory towards the opponents' box from his firm grasp. At that precise moment, the fans' sound concludes with a sharp synchronal climactic roar of "wahey". This both co-exists with and contributes to the suspense and anticipation that surrounds the overall technique and experience of witnessing the throw-in. For opposition defenders, it adds an element of psychological anxiety to the already tough physical task of defending against the throw."
It's academic, entertaining, enlightening and almost poetic. But I fear that some killjoy will take the view that it's not boring enough for Wikipedia and delete it from the main article, so I'm pasting it here for posterity. Russ London (talk) 08:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I have added the "incomplete list" tag as Delap's throws led to goals for Southampton and probably for Sunderland.   Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I can assure you that there were several occasions at Southampton when his throw-ins caused havoc in the penalty area, some of which resulted in goals, but I don't have the time to find match reports. Personally, I think this whole section is highly over-blown. We don't list every corner kick that leads to a goal, so why this fuss about his throw-ins?

thread_title:  List of throw-in assists 

message: There are many articles that include old Delap throws, but it's a subscription site, thus can't really be referenced. Although the text comes up on a Google search, Highbeam only shows a certain preview. Any way around this?71.101.62.13 (talk) 14:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph states 'before moving back to the north east at Sunderland.'. Which North East club did he come from? Or where did he come from in the North East, before moving back to it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.153.6.125 (talk) 12:28, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
