"Young Boys Champions League matches can't be shown in France"; that's a new one on me, what's all that about?
The alcohol sponsorship ban at sports stadia in France has been going since the mid-90's; I remember when the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Rangers - all of whom were sponsored by breweries - played European matches in France, they played in shirts without the sponsor on the front of the shirts.
