When will officials realise how many foul throws they let go?

Watching West Ham v Leeds and I have just seen Weston McKennie
take three one handed throws, one from which Rodrigo scored.
It is not just this game that I have noticed that he gets away
with it, his long throws are always one-handed, as
can be seen with the amount of spin which is on the ball because
his right hand propels the flight.
In addition, the number of players who get away with lifting
their back foot or just dropping the ball is getting crazy.
Nit-picking? Possibly. Against the LOTG? Definitely.

Just another one of the Laws that our top referees are allowed
to ignore.

In the interests of entertainment and keeping the game moving
and, as I've said in the past, I don't have a particular problem
with it.

I don't know if the throw-in law has changed over the years, but
as the law stands currently I'm struggling to see any reason to
disallow this. There are three requirements: facing the pitch,
have part of each foot on or behind the touchline, and throw the
ball with both hands from behind and over the head from where it
left play. He used both hands, and it doesn't say that one hand
can't be more dominant than the other.
I think the fact that no one is talking about it, not the
opposition, not the commentators, not the pundits, etc, suggests
it is something of a non-issue.

“And where it left play”. We are lucky if it is within five
yards,,,I’ve seen fast bowlers take shorter run-ups. The current
thinking seems to be “start your run from where it went out of
play.”
Another example of ruining the game I used to love.

Sorry, I cannot agree. In my 60 years of watching FL and PL
football, one of my pet hates has always been referees pulling
up players for moving forwards (or back) by a few yards at a
throw in. Yes OK, if a throw is likely to end up in the goal
mouth, it needs to be taken from the correct spot, but not
otherwise. And how often now do you see throw-ins going
backwards. Same with short free kicks which seem to be the norm
now. Let's keep the game moving I say!

Ok, if that’s what you want rewrite the law,but if it’s a law
it’s a law, not an option, and I’m sorry if you ever saw me and
were upset, but I found generally it was only needed to stop one
or two and they got the message.
Any other laws you want ignored ? I dislike the modern game
because of the attitude that is running through it that players
can ignore the laws if they wish.

I would argue that you can keep the game moving and still have
free kicks and throw ins taken from the correct place, what we
have now is just players getting away with whatever they want to
and not just throw ins or free kicks, reminds me of the school
playground games without a referee.

Also, corners where the ball has a distant relationship with the
arc!!! Perhaps the law should require themajority of the ball
should be inside the arc.
Has any senior referee ever permitted the same positioning of
the ball in respect to the penalty spot?
