I don't think you have Sky+ (where you've posted).

Sky+ customers cannot receive red button sport. Customers with Sky+ (with the full sports subscription) will only receive the Sky Sports+ Channel (channel 404), but will not have access to the live streams of any other games on simultaneously as Sky+ is not compatible.

Do you have Sky Q?

@GeorgeA123

If you have the side bar showing whilst watching red button content just press the dismiss button a couple of times on the handset and the full screen will be displayed.

It's to the left of the home button in the middle of the remote, the icon is like a square with an arrow pointing out.

I believe that if you go into the feed directly via the Apps section (rather than going via a channel's red button) then you don't get the sidebar.

Thank you, that worked for me. Clicked it twice and then got full screen.

Not very obvious from Sky, they should change this.

Thank you again

Why do you say that? You have to press the "dismiss" (or "back button as it's sometimes called) when you turnSky on to get out of the mini TV screen mode; it's just the same for this
