Lyon are sponsored by a betting firm. It is illegal for them to wear the sponsors whilst on French soil. I am guessing likewise with alcohol and Liverpool.

Only applies in Europe.

If not then Lyon would have a shirt sponsor they could only have in Non European away matches

I quite like the idea of not having betting / alcohol sponsors on shirts.

I actually don't like shirt sponsors as it is, so the less the better.

I was thinking that would be a strange choice of sponsor

I really don't mind, as it really doesn't effect my spending habbits.

No, from wiki:

Lyon complied and, since the Le Mans match, have worn sponsor-less shirts while playing on French soil.

The French gambling laws have been reduced and thus they are allowed to wear the sponsor on their shirts from January.

I just think shirts look nicer without "XXXX betting" or "XXXX bank" stamped across their shirt.

I've always liked how Barca have Unicef.

So, we are really no clearer on the subject LOL.

 

[dante6491]

Double post, sorry.

Have you ever donated to Unicef? Just asking.

Yeah I have.

Donated to quite a few charities, and I've ran / walked races for them to raise money.

Ohhhh yes! Nasri, get in there!!!!

2-0. Boooring, Boooring, Arsenal.

 

[jakeke]

Class goal from Nasri, missed him

Good half, excellent work rate throughout and great pressure (Arshavin included ) and also some great attacking play. This Arsenal team are becoming a force, could be a great season

 

[Weebull]

What a beaut of a turn by Nasri. Nice pass by Arsh too.

Liverpool other then the Voronin (sp) chance I've not really seen Liverpool do much, Lyon haven't been any better.

Fair enough mate, just asking.

Good to see Nasri get a goal!

So they have a shirt sponsor but can't wear it on there shirt. Not until at least January :s.


The world has officially gone bonkers but I guess we already new that anyway

@ the "pundits" talking about Voronin.

Please don't call me Kiddo! That and 'son' really get to me for some reason. That and the fact that I'm certainly not a kid, far from it in fact .

Good for you doing the charity bit. I am far to self centered to even bother. I don't even watch Comic Relief.

You're right about the Liverpool, game. What a bore.
