The Adjudication Panel: Steve Coogan is playing Mick McCarthy in a film, what else is there to talk about?

Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Adjudication Panel. The agenda includes: whether you can "build a team around" a left-back, a data dive into a flippant newspaper line about Danny Drinkwater’s corner-taking, Steve Coogan's forthcoming role as Mick McCarthy in a film about the Roy Keane incident at the 2002 World Cup, an EFL shirt crisis and some more of society's obscure awards


Meanwhile, the panel weigh up whether Alexandre Lacazette is the textbook overage Olympic football squad member and decide the threshold for holding up an absent team-mate’s shirt during a goal celebration.


Adam also announces his new book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom: How to Use (and Abuse) The Language of Football, which is available to pre-order:
