... for taking off his shirt after scoring? I haven't seen it reported anywhere, but I thought such a thing was an automatic yellow card?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Was Jake Forster-Caskey booked today ...

Yes. He was.
Ref was apologetic too, he gave him a tap on the shoulder as if to say sorry afterwards

Like this in refs. Not obviously for fouls, but for things they have to lay down, wouldn't surprise me if he was assessed.

Not saying I agree with rule nor do I understand that in the moment of scoring the first thing that comes into your mind is to take your shirt off but there is a difference between this and the example you gave. It is quite clear and obvious when you take your shirt off however it is a matter of opinion whether your goal celebrations are inciting the opposition fans because if you are and the ref believes you are then he can book you.

If you took your shirt off and had an identical duplicate on underneath would you still get booked?
Too early in the morning for philosophy.

I am more concerned about how stupid professional footballers are - knowing they will get booked if they do it.

Maybe some do it so that they can turn it around and have their name on show when they are photographed celebrating? -JFC was holding it up backwards towards the crowd after he took it off. It was the last few seconds of the game, so a second yellow was unlikely and he isn't close to being banned for too many yellows in a season so he probably thought why not?
Makes you wonder why it is a bookable offence though, it wouldn't surprise me if it has something to do with sponsorship deals and money, if a player takes their shirt off when celebrating, the sponsor is no longer visible on the front of the shirt and therefore no longer seen of any highlights coverage or in any photos photos of the player celebrating that may be seen around the world and if the days of money, money, money it wouldn't surprise me if it was a rule brought in to ensure any sponsor gets maximum coverage.

I thought it was due to covering the face and head.

I've actually seen a video on youtube some time of this, and yes the ref did book him! Was quite funny!
Also I always thought they bought in the bookings because someone (possibly Forlan but could be well wrong there) took his shirt off to celebrate, but then managed to muck up his t shirt, and took absolutely ages to put it back on so wasted time, so that's why it became a bookable offence.

Pretty sure that's the reason.
Obviously a player celebrating (especially if its an important goal) is a money shot and we'll be shown over and over again on TV. You'd probably be quite pissed off if you'd spent a fortune sponsoring a team just for your logo to be scrunched up on the floor miles away.
It does raise the question though - Why is it a bookable offence during International games where the teams aren't sponsored?
