Title: Adding truncation to football liveblogs

* Very rudimentary truncation

This is two fold - Football's requirements are pretty simple, and live blogs are being rehashed.

We can look at extending [`shouldTruncate`](https://github.com/guardian/frontend/compare/football-liveblog-truncation?expand=1#diff-78360b6b49c840a5052f32afe5da688cR18) to return a set of arguments for `truncate` dependant on factors. This seemed like over engineering for now.

# Show me the simple truncation
