I think some confusion has arisen in the football podcast world about when a throw-in should be awarded to the opponent. It is something I have seen more in Europe than in the Premier League, I admit, but the last sentence of law 15 confirms its correctness in law.
Simon Hooper cautioned Timber for delaying the restart and I am not sure how play was resumed. In the same game, Lewis-Skelly was penalised by having to give up the throw, presumably for taking too many yards.
Is there a difference?

Yes. Delaying the restart of play is a caution and no change to restart.
Not taking the throw in in the right place is a foul throw and the punishment is the throw in is awarded to the opposition.

Thank you; I had suspected that the booking resets everything and is considered part of misconduct, not a foul throw. However, for the discourse merchants to know or even endeavour to understand that subtlety would be a day for flying pigs.
 
I’d prefer a law change that delaying the restart on TI/CK/CK turns the restart over to the other team. We’d see a lot less ridiculously long GK routines if that was in the referee’s arsenal,.
