Scoring a goal is the apex of football. Described by many professional players as the best feeling ever. So scoring a goal should be rightly celebrated. And the more important the goal, the bigger the celebration.
Why do referees want to spoil that moment? Why are players booked for certain celebrations? Why are players booked for taking off their shirts in celebration?
Seb Stafford-Bloor explains. Henry Cooke illustrates.

None of those seem like good enough reasons and seem petty. I guess the one that might hold most water is the one about them not being able to put the shirt back on time to continue play. But then you just make them leave the pitch and let them return once they've sorted out their equipment. Seems simple enough and I doubt "putting your shirt back on" is that complicated of a problem to consistently cause problems.

I begrudgingly accept the point about sponsors, but maybe the sanction should be a fine rather than a booking. The player taking their top off is usually paid a lot of money by the company with their logo on that shirt, and they're paying to have it in pictures and footage of goals, so that's fair enough. But it's nothing to do with the game, it's purely a financial thing and yellow cards are sporting sanctions.

None of these rules justify it being a yellow card offence. Imagine introducing yourself at social gatherings as being one of the petty little killjoys who introduced this rule. People aren't going to forget a sponsor just because a player took their shirt off for 20 seconds and if Forlan failed at such a simple task as putting his shirt back on (something that most 6-year-olds are more or less capable of doing) then that's on him.

Arkadiusz Milik getting a second yellow after scoring the 'winning' goal for Juventus (which was then disallowed by VAR, but his red still stood) is my second favourite stupid celebration moment after in the 2014 rugby English Premiership final, Owen Farrell scored a try to bring his side level (with the chance to go ahead), kicked the ball away in celebration and did his hammie, needing to be substituted. The try was disallowed, and he watched on from the bench as his side lost in extra time...
@aldobonaso3481 Жыл бұрын
haha it was a disaster, but you failed to mention that Milik's goal being disallowed by the VAR was a massive blunder, as there was a player by the corner flag clearly playing everybody onside, thus Milik's goal should have stood. But that camera angle was apparently not available to the VAR team, and so the goal was incorrectly disallowed, and Milik's red card for removing his shirt in celebration stood. Double whammy.

Craig Beattie did something similar to the Hannover player in the Scottish Cup semi-final in 2012. He scored a 92min penalty to give Hearts the lead, took his top off, and started twirling it in the air as he ran around the racetrack that circled the pitch. He only got a booking for it, but imagine potentially missing a cup final against your club's biggest rivals because of a celebration for a last minute winner 😳

I always figured it's an extension of the law regarding the player's equipment, where it explicitly states what a player can/cannot equip and what is mandatory about his outfit. Obviously taking your shirt off at any part of the game violates that rule, goal celebrations are no different. If players begin exploiting a rule that has no actual punishments, it's only natural that rule will be changed to also warrant a ticket. Some players can use it to their advantage, however, just like iago aspas did 😅

It's mostly because of time wasting and over celebration. In the years before the rule was changed it was really unbearable how players celebrated goals with taking the shirt off, running to the fans, waiving their shirts and taking forever to get back on the pitch. This is also the reason why players now can be booked for jumping over billboards and/or jumping in the stand to celebrate with the fans. A little side note about climbing fences. It's not just punishable because of time wasting but also because of security reasons. A player in germany (i think it was at a third division game) climbed up the fence to celebrate, got his wedding ring stuck in the fence while jumping down and ripped his ring finger off. Idk if climbing the fence was already forbidden at that time but because of this incident the IFAB implemented the rule that all jewelery has to be taken off or has to be tapped over.

Nezt season, some players in the Portuguese league started taking off the shirt, but instead of having a shirt bellow, they wpuld show a temporary tatoo.

First of all sorry for my english :P It was sunday league quarter final, some district football tournament, when i scored last minute goal against the opponent. It was an easy goal, corner, crowded with players, just tuck the ball and it's in! I ran, took my shirt off, threw it to the air and screaming like a madman with my team mates. Taking off shirt like the ultimate celebration! You should know how it feels! :)

Senegal winning goal vs France for the opening game for WC 2002 was one of the best memories as 16yr old as it was unfathomable to me that the team I seen win the 98 WC and the Euro 00 would be beaten and thus the birth of the cup holders curse. France 22 is different as they imploded and families fought at the Euros.

What if fifa just had a mode where you have to unlock the shirtless celebrations on fifa when you score a late gaming mode where the game was intense and you still get a yellow because that would be dope. I'd buy it just for that. I'm also very baked rn

Growing up in England in the 1970s and 1980s it was normal for guys and boys to not wear a top when it was warm in summer. It changed during the 1990s. Why? Foreign culture influence? People getting fatter? I was in Spain in the summertime on holiday and I had a lady in the street ask me to put my top back on. On a street in a seaside resort. It was over 30°C. :-) :-)

I always thought they made it a yellow card offence for men because when the female players started taking their shirts off in celebration there was an uproar against that behaviour and the justification back then was that the guys were doing it so FIFA then made it an offence for everyone...

My understanding is once Brandi Chastain took her shirt off in the 1998 world cup a debate was initiated. FIFA didn't want women doing that (since some countries in the world would find that offensive) so the women pointed out that the men were doing it and thus the law came about for both men and women.

I feel like the card almost makes the celebration better or more impactful especially when it comes to messages underneath because your showing that it’s more important to you than the booking.

Let's say you score, and calmly jog back to your half while taking your shirt off to wipe some sweat from your forehead and putting it back on. Is this excessive compared to keeping the shirt while doing a back flip, knee sliding, running around screaming, dancing, kissing cameras and posing?

I'm surprised tattoos weren't mentioned. While tattoos are often personal, it could also promote brands if they spoof the design of a populare brand or contains an image of any character. As they are mainly personal, they could also contain messages that provoke the oppoqition if it's a symbol of an ongoing or historocal conflict between two parts.

1. Sponsors - The obviously suspected reasons. They paid for a billboard, not to be tossed on the grass 2. Over Celebration - I mean, I kind of get it but this isn't going to do anything. You score the big winner you just take the booking 3. Messages - I mean this feels unnecessarily harsh and also like it's covered elsewhere 4. Time Wasting 5. Shirt Replacement - 4 & 5 feel the same, but if the shirt isn't on quick enough, you've got to do it from off the pitch.

I merely see it as a measure against time wasting and should rightly be punished. As some players excessively do it, throwing down shirt and running off etc Do love the celebration when it happens ie Iniesta/Aguero as you remember the spectacle and emotion of it rather than the yellow card. Mike Dean said if Aguero was on a yellow when he scored the 94th minute goal, he would not have given a second and taken the bollocking instead for not doing so as it was last game of the season etc.

What Fifa could do is make an allowance for when a player want's to pay respects to a person whom has passed away, by allowing a display of a picture of the person only. No written messages or slogans. That way, The showing of a picture of a person on a shirt can be exempt from language barriers & there would be no confusion with the Referee about nature or intent of the gesture... id take a yellow to pay respects to somebody i knew.
