Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and James Maw convene the Adjudication Panel to rule on a referee blowing the match ball a kiss, twee tweeting about Lionel Messi from non-League clubs and what mundane footballing situations should be added to the animations of the forthcoming FIFA game.

Meanwhile, they consider what football would really lose if all 58 types of header - towering, crashing, bullet, or otherwise - were suddenly banned.
