Do the powers that be say why taking your shirt off to celebrate a goal is a yellow card offence?
You've posted their excuse, but the real reason is that sponsors want their image on the back pages, not a footballer with his shirt off.

The IFAB, the body responsible for the Laws of the Game, decided to add a detail to Law 12 relating to 'Fouls and Misconduct', stating: "A player who removes his jersey after scoring a goal will be cautioned for unsporting behaviour."
Yeah right :rolleyes: Surely putting your hand in the air is pretty unsporting too :facepalm:

OK, that makes sense. Maybe if the players wore vests with the sponsors logo on they could relax the law?

There's nothing better than when a player scores and completely loses it.

Agreed, and actually the rule that stops it made it all the more special when Jose scored. **** the booking he thought, I'm off :D That goal was something else. Adrián made a really good attempt to stop it, but it was just too good. You see goals scored in the corner, but this was right in the ****ing corner, and after being sent out wide first.

Because it's fun. Have you never done anything you weren't supposed to?

Not quite the point I was trying to make. I'm no killjoy, but lets just say 2 minutes later he'd mistimed a tackle and got a second yellow? Would you still be defending him for the first card then?

I didn't say I approved, you asked why do it, I replied because it's fun. That's why he did it.
