The Adjudication Panel: Sleeping horses and Harry Kane's complex classy touch

Listen on

Episode notes

Adam Hurrey is joined by David Walker and Nick Miller on the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: new heights for the concept of "peak Watford", one last round-up of curious Olympic commentary, whether you can "crash out" of the Community Shield, a rusty opening Football League weekend for users of the language of football, the most perfect refereeing appointment in Football League history and Harry Kane refusing to lift a trophy on his return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Meanwhile, the panel sympathise with a Guardian article correction and provide the definitive list of things you can be "handed" in football.
