This week we're joined by Level 3 Callum Jones, Level 5 Matt Leary and Level 7 Karl Luckhurst. We discuss the quick free kick and penalty decision in the Leeds vs Southampton match, the Mexican official who got in the way of a goal bound effort, the Give the Ref a Hand campaign and the return of football.

Despite VAR’s best efforts, parkour enthusiast Olivier Giroud took a break from his modelling to score an absolute worldie in last night’s Champions League. Kate, Jim and Andy are here to revel in the beauty of the man and his goal. Elsewhere, we rue Jamail Musiala’s decision to represent Germany rather than our brave boys - when have those serial winners ever even won anything?
