Relocating Portsmouth F.C

Skegness would be a fine away day towards the tail end of the season.

Shit on a Tuesday night in February though.

Before an FA Cup game, the man who normally wears his home side's Barry the Bull mascot is taken ill, so a young substitute agrees to wear it. Late in the game his manager wants to send him on -- but the player can't get get the costume's leggings off. He's in the correct club shirt, no part of the costume trails along the pitch and he has legal footwear. Do you let him play?

According to You are the Ref:

Yes. Let the substitution go ahead because there's also nothing in the laws to prevent playing in furry trousers – and there's no reason for you to intervene because the trousers are clearly not dangerous to either the player or his opponents. You should monitor the situation though in case problems do occur – at which point you'd have the authority to have him removed, even if the side have used all their substitutes. Congratulations to reader Martyn Royce – I can pretty confidently say that in the 52-year history of You are the Ref this is definitely a brand new question.

Martyn wins the shirt.

No full mascot outfit allowed, though.
