Hi All
Just been thinking about the Suarez incident and the fact that it looks like the FA are finally going to do something about it got me thinking about players that remove their shirts after scoring a goal.
We see it week in and week out and the player gets a yellow card for it, but WHY do they do it and when did it start.
Also who was the last Stoke player(if any) to get booked for doing it.
Is it just a macho thing or is it deep rooted in our dna.
Good luck to Ryan on his call up, well overdue.

Was watching a game on Sunday when this happened. As you probably already know, I know all there is about football, however the conversation with Her Indoors went something like: - Her Indoors - 'Why did he take his shirt off when he knew he would be booked'? Me: - 'I don't know!' That about sums it up for me, I have no idea whatsoever why footballers should be so stupid. Sometimes I wonder if they really are stupid!  |

Why do you get booked for removing your shirt anyway?
Pointless rule.

Maybes it's a lingering part of our behaviour from our evolution.
Apes beat their chests when they're buzzing their tits off about something. So maybe thats why footballers inexplicably remove their shirts and thump their chests after scoring a goal.

It's a stupid macho thing. You have to remember that most footballers are pretty thick. If they're told not to do something, they only remember it for a few seconds. Also, they think that they can't be seen diving/pulling shirts/stamping/feigning injury etc by the countless cameras on them, refs, thousands in the stadium, and all those watching online. But then they get paid thousands of quid a week, for doing something that they love, so who are the thick ones?

It's a ridiculous rule.
Players, especially the fit ones, should be allowed to remove their shorts shirts if they feel the urge

they never used to do it in the good old days when barrel chested centre forwards stabbed one over the line after sweating off five pints of mild from the night before. Then it was a gentlemanly handshake and a mop of the brow whilst panting back up the halfway line. Or if you were Charlie George at Wembley you lie down and invite your fellow players to join you in a not altogether homoerotic embrace.
