Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Jack Pitt-Brooke are joined by football writer Jonathan Wilson for another edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks.
Wilson's selections feature goals curled into the top corner, tiny footballing plot holes in TV crime dramas and why elite-level goalnets have lost all their personality...
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel explore some potential names for an independent football regulator, nail down the true definition of "a natural finisher" and wonder what happened to Premier League players called "Ian".
