Confused

Tim Cahill puts his shirt over his head (the horror!!) to celebrate a goal and is booked (and thus sent off) for "incitement".

Didier Drogba scores against his old club PSG, deliberately runs towards the PSG fans, cupping his ears with a mocking expression on his face before turning his back and pointing to his name. He isn't booked.

Can someone explain this to me? Which of these players was attempting to incite the fans?

More to the point, who on earth - apart from a repressed homosexual - is "incited" by a player removing his shirt?

FIFA are f***ing imbeciles.

I think the ruling was to prevent the statements made on vests or Tshirts underneath the football shirt.

I agree it is a stupid rule.

The rule is designed to stop people revealing a bare chest...do not ask me why. They do not mind slogans on t-shirts as long as they are not inflamatory like Paul Tait's infamous 'Birmingham City Shit on the Villa'.

How about Paul Ince's suprestition of only putting his shirt on once he is on the pitch...hence having already bared a chest.

Also, the korean winger last night antagonised the fans and pulled his shirt up to reveal his chest last night as he walked off.


Stupid rule but should be consistant.

its a crap rule, imagine adam virgo scoring a 30 yarder into a top left hand corner and celebrates with his hands up near the away end at the withdean.

It also has something to do with Bennett the ref being a complete

Cannot believe he's not over-turned that booking. What an arrogant knob he is.

Typical Bennett. Seems to take great pleasure in ruining matches with his pedantic stupidity, then hides behind his wanker's interpretation of the "rules"
