Shouting “Mine!” or “Leave it!” isn’t explicitly against the rules, but it is all down to the context. If two players from the same team were to use them out of their opponents’ earshot, it would be fine. But in a crowded penalty area, it may cause confusion. “It’s an unsporting act that’s impacted on the game and that would fulfil the criteria for a yellow card offence,” a former Premier League referee explains. If a player has ghosted into an unmarked position and as a team you don’t necessarily want to draw too much attention to this fact, then using a short, sharp code word can be a cunning alternative. It can be uttered by either the passer or receiver to instruct a third party, often stuck in the middle, to let the ball run. Although it’s unclear whether code words were explicitly used in this instance, Mason Greenwood’s goal for Manchester United against Burnley last season that originated with a Marcus Rashford pass and went via Bruno Fernandes is a perfect example… The Athletic asked a host of current and former players and coaches the words that are used instead of “Leave it!” on a football pitch. Their answers highlighted that a footballing enigma machine would not be needed to crack the code. A few offered the rather unimaginative “Over”. But 70 per cent came up with the same response: either “Sid”, “Jack” or both.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was non-committal afterwards on exactly what happened but when pushed about whether his team (like Watford) may need to change their code word, he said: “Looks like we might have to.” Watford won the game 2-0 anyway, but it was felt a line had been crossed. “The biggest outrage is when an opposition player shouts something and takes the ball away. That causes ‘murders’,” jokes former Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers defender Nedum Onuoha. “It’s one of those unwritten rules to not do, as it’s literally cheating.” Roger East was the referee that day in Bournemouth and it’s known that Premier League assessors paid special attention to the incident and told his fellow officials to remain vigilant, but it’s not easy. “The referee has to hear it (the deception) and see it and witness the impact on the opponent, so it’s such a rare occurrence,” explains a former official. “The issue of detection is a big problem. Especially with modern referees, because they seem to be more detached from play with all sorts of distractions like earpieces and conversations with their assistants going on.” It’s a stretch to expect referees to cross-reference everything players shout against their actual names in the middle of a match, too. “The bigger the game, the less you hear. Unless I see the guy face to face I have no idea, because it is a cacophony of noise,” says a former Premier League referee. “I actually feel more intimidated at my local park, where there are six people watching. If they or a player has a go you can hear every word, including when shouting ‘Jack’s’, ‘Sid’s’, ‘Leave it’, ‘Mine’, or whatever, whether they’re trying to use code with a team-mate or stitch up their opponent. It’s quite common at grassroots level.” So is trying to put an opponent off by shouting anything in their direction in a desperate last-ditch attempt to stop them from scoring. Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson tried that against Manchester United in the FA Cup last season, when Greenwood was about to pull the trigger. It didn’t work.

It is not known what was said but it brought back memories of the Chalobah and Arter incident detailed above. “I spoke with him after the game and he definitely heard a ‘Leave it! Leave it!’, and that’s why he put his head down,” a source close to Troost-Ekong explains to The Athletic. “He wouldn’t normally do this, so I’m 100 per cent convinced someone said something. Who it was, I don’t know.”

It was ungentlemanly conduct and against the rules, but you were allowed to shout a name, even if you don’t have anyone in your team with that name.” One Champions League winner said he never went in for code names but became aware of them earlier in his career under the tutelage of England Under-21 manager Peter Taylor in the late 1990s. “We used to do it with the under-21s but looking at it now, we probably didn’t need to because we were playing with foreign teams and referees,” Taylor, now managing non-League Welling, tells The Athletic. “Most common has always been the ‘Sid’s’, ‘Jack’s and ‘Over’, but it’s not as simple as just leaving the ball; they have to disguise it too. It comes down to the execution in the end. “There’s another one which I still use now called the ‘Fiver’ ball. I got it off Dave Sexton when he was at Chelsea and he coached the attackers. It’s a reverse run by the striker towards the corner flag rather than towards the goal. If you can do it right and you’ve got clever players, then it works.”
