I always thought it was due to the matches being broadcast in more conservative middle eastern countries and the showing of flesh was deemed to be offensive. 

Sure it was a measure to combat the (then) increasingly prevalent political statements that players in the mid/late 90's were making when taking their shirts off to celebrate goals. Very draconian but sledgehammer to crack a nut stuff iirc.

I'm sure it was the sponsors complaining that when a player scores, it is the best time for them to advertise.

:thup:

 

Could be a combination of both? Not sure. 

 

I do know UEFA got their knickers in a twist about the politics stuff players were getting involved with and wanted a way to crush it asap and the automatic booking was what they came up with. Sure the sponsors were delighted too :lol:

If those photo's are yours @Yorkie, you had a fantastic view of the goal :thup:

 

I would've done had everyone in front of me not leapt to their feet when Joelinton got brought down en route. :lol: 

 

Being facetious really... I'm sure I saw it but it was absolutely one of those 'everything was a blur' moments.
