Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker assemble for another Adjudication Panel. On the agenda this time: Troy Deeney's autobiography emoji, the credentials of "Quality Street" as a long-term successor to the corridor of uncertainty, Everton fans tracking sand dredgers in the Irish Sea, and when footballers' names appear unexpectedly in song lyrics.

Meanwhile, there's a brief journey into the often awkward sub-genre that is "football commentary re-recorded after the event for various reasons".
