How do you define a "kid"?

I would say it is a fact that kids will be wearing such shirts, by any sane definition.

Child size shirts - so usually up until age 13-14, depending on height. Although there has been instances where under 18s have been refused adult size shirts. Whether that's an issue in multiple clubs or just Blackburn I'm not sure.

the rules say children should not be sold a shirt bearing the logo of a betting or alcohol company.

Clearly that is impossible to enforce all of the time but is something we should, surely, support as far as practicable?

Children's sizes of replica shirts don't have the sponsor on. Of course some children will be big enough to need adult sizes, but that's a different matter.

And credit to Celtic, who sell adult replica shirts without the sponsor on for the same price as shirts with the sponsor on.

What a world class goal from Mandzukic.

I wish I watched that match, but there was a stupid power cut in our area.

Ronaldo added two more goals to his running tally of goals in this competition.

Sergio Ramos: Cheat. Dirty dispicable cheat.

have you not got radio 5 in your area?

I hate the modern game sometimes.

just no need for it. You are the captain of Real Madrid. You are going to win. He should be banned for 56 games and stripped of his winners medal and his club thrown out of the next 5 champions league tournaments.

Nothing will happen though

I had no idea what these posts referred to (I avoid European / international football) - having no watched it is that the incident which led to Cuadrado's dismissal?

Correct.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Correct.

Christ. What an absolute **** he is then. Imagine being the captain of probably the greatest football team of all time, seemingly cruising to another European title and then feeling the need to do that to a fellow professional. Disgraceful.

Just seen it on replay. Sadly no longer surprising given how widely reported cheating is these days.

The whole club should be stripped of the title and the prize money, and disqualified for another year. That might make the clubs pay attention and do something.

Ah, didn't think of that!

Does the radio still work in a power cut?

BBC radio I player works on your phone - it is quite good

I'll give it a shot then.

Spoiler alert - the game is over.

When West Ham United formed in 1905, my team Aston Villa lent them their spare kit as they did not have their own at the time.

They subsequently plagiarised the design for themselves, with the only thing being different is the crest.

Still, out of all the teams in the UK that play in a claret and blue strip, Aston Villa are the only one to have won the European Cup.

I suppose that was when Paul Nuttall was your centre forward.

If you're up against a player who does that sort of thing AND you're on a yellow, don't give him any excuse to do it. If Cuadrado had kept his feet well away from Ramos and Ramos had still grabbed his ankle in apparent agony, even the referee and his assistant would have known exactly what had happened and the booking would have gone that way.

Diving was bad enough in the lower leagues, next season will be fun!

We do have the new retrospective diving/ simulation rule to look forward to next season (i hope it extends to looking at feigning injury too)

Nah - if you are on a yellow get sent of for something decent. Give Ramos a reason to writhe about on the floor by nutting him and then standing on his goohlies. Then chin Ronaldo on the way off

Defence at the disciplinary hearing: They are twonks and deserved it.

works for all BBC national stations not just 5 live. it is really good but watch your data allowance if out and about.

Always good to have a Plan B I guess!
