Such a f***ing stupid rule.

 

Such a fucking stupid guy for doing the shirt celebration while on a yellow, tbh.

Yeah he's an idiot for doing it when he knows he's on a yellow. I just think getting a yellow for taking your shirt off when celebrating is just stupid, I just don't see what it's meant to accomplish, it's not going to do the player any harm.

Yeah, I do know what you mean, but I kinda like the way it shows up how bloody stupid some players are.

It's 'unsporting behaviour' apparently.

 

FIFA initially became wary of this issue when some players displayed political and religious messages, like in 1997 when Liverpool’s Robbie Fowler wore a shirt supporting sacked dockers on Merseyside.

 

After initially relaxing the rule, FIFA made it a mandatory yellow card offence 10 years ago. There were other factors considered by world football’s governing body.

 

Manufacturers were paying strikers to display their logo on undershirts after scoring – the free advertising did not go down well with sponsors who had paid millions to promote their companies.

 

Also, football being a global game, the sight of a bare chest is offensive in many countries for religious reasons.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't realise Roberto Carlos played for Inter. For some reason that totally passed me by, I thought he'd gone from Parma to Real Madrid.
