Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker assemble for the Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: the major trophies it would be most comfortable to share a bed with, the ongoing crisis of club-name abbreviations during live TV games and the official guidelines for post-penalty-shootout celebrations.
Meanwhile, the panel discuss the factors that define the threshold at which a goalscoring chance becomes merely a "half-chance".
