Pickford's bottle notes for pens

I get why people are laughing, because it does look ridiculous frozen on a bottle while everyone else is trying to act all serious, but at the same time this is exactly the sort of edge players and keepers chase at the top level and you cannot really mock someone for being prepared when the entire sport is built on tiny advantages, so fair play to him really, even if it does look a bit mad when you zoom in on it and make it the main event
 
The officials would have had a fit if they spotted anything they didnt like on there because as soon as a keeper does something a bit unusual the ref team starts hovering about like it is some massive issue while players can spend the whole match doing whatever they want and nobody blinks, and then if there is a shootout everyone acts shocked that a goalkeeper might have a note to help him, honestly the double standards are ridiculous and the whole thing just adds to the feeling that referees love making simple football look complicated
