Episode notes

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the latest World Cup Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: Roy Keane's ITV kickabout goal celebration, a moral judgement on bringing on your third-choice goalkeeper when 4-1 up, how far down the football pyramid you can find "armchair fans", and when a Panenka isn't really a Panenka.

Meanwhile, the panel compete in a tense For My Sins Corner double-header and unearth the most boring interview with a referee of all time.
