All Over Bar The Shouting
If something is All Over Bar The Shouting then it (generally a controversial event) is technically settled, though arguments, with little or no effect on the result, continue. The phrase is from the 19th century and sport, most notably boxing. When a bout was over and a referee's decision was made, the crowds would either cheer or argue against the judgement. Normally the referee's verdict would stand though shouting and cheering would continue.
