In the Ireland-Czech Republic game on Wednesday, Rory Delap had a throw-in and the ball when into the goal without anyone touching it. It was disallowed as apparantely you cannot score directly from a throw....

That's true - throw-ins are "indirect". Restart is a goal kick, as the ball crossed the goal line last touched by the attacking team, but a goal was not scored.

Yup. Second sentence in Law 15. "A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in"
