Summary

Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: satisfying goal commentaries on Match of the Day, Arne Slot learns a very mundane English sporting word, the “sick of the sight of him” threshold, surprise Andy Townsend co-commentary in a song intro, commentators taking 5.88 seconds to realise a goal has been scored, how a team becomes “all-conquering” and some typical broadcasting gold from the boys at BeIN Sports.
