The sponsorships on the front of football shirts get their best exposure when the TV cameras get a close up of the scoring player. If he takes his shirt off they don''t get that oh-so vital advertising. So they book the player for not endorsing the brand basically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eam 0 Posted February 10, 2008 I thought I had read that they had changed the ruling on this. Must have dreamed it. Or its another ruling that the refs ignore like the 6 second limit on the ''keeper holding the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splendid Rush 2 Posted February 11, 2008 Yeah it''s pathetic.What was quite amusing though is that Fozzy was taking his off too, and Mo Camera was behind him pulling his shirt back down so that he didn''t get booked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our "tutor" doesnt agree with them either, but he did say that it was because of brands and advertising. TBH it''s a disgrace, I know the referees dont like it but they have to do their job if they dont want to be sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panic 0 Posted February 11, 2008 A similar thing that annoys me about goal celebrations is when players are stopped from celebrating with fans. I understand the safety issue but let them enjoy the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyboy 0 Posted February 11, 2008 s a ref i agree its stupid to book someone for a celebration BUT all players are told at the beginning of the season what are bookable and sending off offences so to blame the refs is totally unfair, the fifa gurus set the laws of the game.

Philipo87 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Played in a game the other day and their keeper held the ball for about 10 seconds. We complained and the ref said ''although its a rule, it is hardly ever enforced to I wont enforce it either''So does that mean u can get 1-0 up then give the ball to your keeper for the rest of the game????
