Guest Alan_Shearer Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I thought you were allowed to take your shirt off if you had a vest or something on underneath...i know its Serie A but Kaka doesn't get booked when he does it with his "i belong to JESUS" vest on lol. Anyway, why is it still a booking then? Sponsorships on the shirt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 i know its Serie A but Kaka doesn't get booked when he does it with his "i belong to JESUS" vest on lol. It wasn't SerieA but CL. And it was after the game was over anyway. ... Otherwise I don't know I'm guessing it's still a rule everywhere, Ribery got booked in the friendly on Wednesday for for doing it.

madras Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 it's due to over zealous celebrations possibly causing the crowd to erupt ( i beleive) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 More to the point, he looked fucking ridiculous. It was like pass the parcel and he'd only just managed to get the first bit of wrapping paper off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 you look at rules that referees don't enforce or are useless at judging yet they are 100% consistent about booking a player for removing a shirt. bit harsh. cos it's bloody obvious and they have no choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember it happening too often, which would suggest they know exactly what they're doing when they remove their shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Can remember when Robben got booked for something... scored... celebrated in the crowd and got a second yellow. Mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The rules state if you take your shirt off, you get booked. Everyone knows this, it's not fucking rocket science. Any player who has a T-Shirt on underneath with a slogan on underneath his football top and goes out with the pre-meditated idea of removing his shirt when he scores must have shit for brains. Now whether the rule is a good one or not is another debate. Personally I think it's a good idea in that it stops (Or at least limits) players making political or religious statements etc when they score. You don't belong to Jesus, you belong to AC Milan. Now put your bloody top back on and get back to what you're paid to do. Personally I'd make it a red card offence, that'd stop them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 To be honest, if I was a manager and one of my players took their shirt off I'd absolutely bollock them. The rule has been around long enough, its happened to enough players but yet you still see it happening and then the inevitable yellow card following it.

ShearMagic Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I really don't understand why players continue to do it. They all know it's a yellow card, and it's probably led to a suspension here and there because of an accruel of yellow cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
