Description

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Charlie Eccleshare are joined by Sky Sports' chief touchline reporter Geoff Shreeves for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks.
Among Geoff's selections for his footballing fascinations and irritations are pundits' pointless turns of phrase, microscopic modern shinpads, why Steve McClaren's infamous umbrella has also led to an anti-sunglasses stigma in football and the matchday heroics of the broadcaster's sound supervisors in capturing the noise of ball against woodwork.
Adam and Charlie also pick their favourite extracts from Shreeves' new book Cheers, Geoff! Tales from the Touchline.
