An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph for short) is called linear if every pair of vertices belong to at most one edge. A linear $r$-graph is complete if every pair of vertices are in exactly one edge. The famous Brown-ErdH{o}s-Sos conjecture states that for every fixed $k$ and $r$, every linear $r$-graph with $Omega(n^2)$ edges contains $k$ edges spanned by at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices. As an intermediate step towards this conjecture, Conlon and Nenadov recently suggested to prove its natural Ramsey relaxation. Namely, that for every fixed $k$, $r$ and $c$, in every $c$-colouring of a complete linear $r$-graph, one can find $k$ monochromatic edges spanned by at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices. We prove that this Ramsey version of the conjecture holds under the additional assumption that $r geq r_0(c)$, and we show that for $c=2$ it holds for all $rgeq 4$.
