Fans, pundits and even politicians are fuming... but is it all over? BBC Sport’s Gabby Logan and the boss of the Football Supporters’ Association talk Adam through a massive day off the pitch. There’s also an update on foreign travel during the pandemic as India goes on the UK’s “red list” while Australia and New Zealand go flying again.
