Liverpool winger Suso had to be reprimanded by the presenter of LFC TV's Kop Kids show after cheating in a game of 'Guess Who' against Luis Enrique.

The young Spaniard locked horns with his fellow countryman at the classic children's game and the winger used some suspect tactics as he claimed victory.

Such was the controversy caused by his
indiscretions, Kop Kid's presenter Charlotte was forced to intervene and
declare a re-match.

The latest edition of LFC TV's Kop Kid's show saw the Spanish duo go head to head at a number of retro games including Hungry Hippos, Jenga, Buckaroo and Screwball Scramble.

Summer signing Fabio Borini also makes an appearance as another young presenter attempts to teach him some Scouse.

Young Liverpool fans will certainly hope that future competitors will respect the laws of the game a little more than Suso.

The show will air on at noon on Sunday.

BUMBLE'S TEST DIARY: I've done 'a Trott' and was not proud of it, but I'm less of a fan of Captain Beefheart

Trott's shot was legal but against the spirit of the game, I'm sure he regretted it – just like I did

Jonathan Trott smacking that Jadeja delivery for four was not the right thing to do, it was against the spirit of the game. I did it once, thought it was a bit of laugh, but I regretted it straight away. The laws of the game say Trott had every right to hit it but the best thing would have been for the umpire to call dead ball.

India and Kohli need to remember it was their decision not to have DRS

India also thought they had Trott caught behind but the pictures showed he had not hit the ball. The BCCI insist they do not want the Decision Review System, they say they want the umpire’s decision to be final – well, could they please tell their own players, especially Mr Virat Kohli I have no problem with Kohli talking to Trott, he stands on his two feet there, but why he is constantly engaging the umpires is beyond me. I’ve seen enough of Kohli now (in England and India) to have him down as a jumped-up little twerp…and he may be the next India captain! If he confronted me – like he did the umpires – in Civvy Street, he’d better have something to back it up.

Time to bring in the card system – just like in football

My suggestion to the ICC that we should have yellow and red cards will not go away. Spectators watching will have been left wondering what was going on (and we may have to wait until the end of the game for the match referee’s decision) but in my system Kohli would have got a yellow card and everyone in the ground (and watching at home) would have been in the know.

Trott and Bell need to push on after early blockathon

I was nervous when England started batting when they got their tactics wrong, opting for a blockathon, but at the end of the day’s play Trott and Ian Bell had moved things on. England need to bat until 20 minutes after lunch and they will have won the series. The final-day situation is an ideal opportunity for the likes of Trott and Bell to be selfish and play for themselves. Trott will be desperate for a century while Bell can turn round what has so far been a terrible tour.

Compton must start scoring of risk Ashes place

Nick Compton’s position intrigues me. He is going along OK but he has got to find a way of turning survival into scoring. He’ll get another chance in New Zealand but at times it can be a bit of an ordeal watching him bat. If you want an early indicator for the Ashes next summer, I think England want to elevate Joe Root to open alongside Alastair Cook and bring in Jonny Bairstow at No 6, which means Compton, Eoin Morgan and Samit Patel will miss out.

Time for a change: Nick Compton needs to get runs or Joe Root should be promoted to open for the Ashes

Captain Beefheart He's absolute pants

I was given a Captain Beefheart CD by my boss at Sky. He said it’s ‘very difficult listening but once you’ve heard it once or twice you’ll love it’. I didn’t have the heart to ask him: ‘Who the heck is Captain Beefheart!’ After some quick research with a journalistic colleague, we’ve concluded that he’s ‘absolute pants!’.

Euro 2012: Ronaldo penalty error could have been avoided – Graham Poll

Ronaldo penalty gaffe could easily have been avoided

According to the laws of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo could have taken any of Portugal's shootout kicks.

Custom has it that teams provide the names and the order in which the kicks will be taken, but that can be changed without permission from the match officials.

Paying the penalty: Ronaldo could have taken any of the spot kicks

So Nani could have stayed in the centre circle and allowed Bruno Alves to take the third kick that he walked up to take. And knowing that a miss would mean there'd be no fifth penalty, Ronaldo could have taken No 4.

So long as each kick is taken by a different player, there is no issue.

Ryan Shotton should have been booked – Graham Poll

I would have booked Shotton for getting shirty

Ryan Shotton should not have been allowed to use a towel from under his shirt to dry the ball on Sunday — another mistake in law by the match official.

Pictures clearly show Shotton drying the ball and circumventing the Premier League’s ban on using towels on the touchline.

Under laws of the game, items other than the basic shirt, shorts, socks, shin guards and boots must have the sole purpose to protect a player physically and pose no danger to others.

In the first instance the referee should tell the player to remove the towel and any refusal or repetition should result in a caution.

Controversy: Stoke

Controversy: Stoke”s goals against Tottenham came from long throws

Interestingly, both Stoke goals came from Shotton’s unfair long throws. Match officials should now be aware of the tactic and stop this unsporting act immediately.
