Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker assemble for this week's Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: Eurovision's football parallels, perhaps the greatest ever real-life case of a goal-shy striker "needing one to go in off his backside", the true definition of "going down in instalments" and an astonishing chant by fans of Bishop's Stortford FC from 2007.
Meanwhile, the panel discuss whether it is acceptable for a fan to wear a signed shirt to a match and share their disbelief over Alastair Campbell's 2018 football/terrorism novel "Saturday Bloody Saturday".
