Wolves V Burnley is quite an exciting game. 2-0 Wolves atm. Doyle booked for taking his shirt off in celebration of his goal. 
Weekend Football Thread *spoilers*
- Thread starter Tummy
- Start date
Yup thats the rule, take your shirt off you get booked.
Can't understand why players still do this, would drive me nuts as a manager.

Well the second half has been comfortable. 2-0 is a fair result I reckon.
10 points clear at the top by Christmas.

Nothing about the game was really fair.
You were crap, we were crap and unlucky and the ref was the worst out of the lot

Anybody watch that little Christmas story type thing on SS just then? It was quite nice. 
And yup it shouldn't be the rule though. Absolutely ridiculous to get booked for it. What's the problem with that? And it's the same with wanting to celebrate with your fans, no need to be carded for it, it gives the player and fans both something special to remember.
The Adebayor incident deserved a yellow card, purposely riling up the opposition supporters just isn't acceptable, but running to your own fans, or just taking your shirt off and swinging it around harmlessly?
Ridiculous.

Missed all of yesterday's football whilst travelling. Got home and couldn't believe the united and liverpool scores! And Hughes was sacked! 
How did I miss all of that!
Hopefully we can capitalise today although Anelka seems to be injured which is a shame and Deco's not on the bench either...

They came up with the rule to "clean" up football, as they wanted (they - big wigs at UEFA/FIFA/FA whoever came up with it) because they wanted the game to be "less working class" and removing your shirt and celebrating with fans was seen as a working class thing
I think.It's got nothing to do with offending other cultures, because footballers the world over take of their shirts.
I think it's a bit daft, I do think if you wind up opposing fans you should be booked.

on the other hand I think female footballers should be booked if they don't take off their shirt to celebrate

+1 It's the only logical thing to do imo.
Chelsea just gave away a pen, silly Cashley Cole.

Why hello West Ham.
Oh how predictable - we are 1-0 down.If we lose this I will have rage.
Like that 28 days later rage?
Yet again another weekend result I didn't see coming (yes I know it's only half time)
Chelsea losing so far.
United lost.
Liverpool lost.
Man City didn't draw.

I thought it was to do with players putting messages on their vests and taking off their shirts, apparently that was unacceptable. Could be wrong
Probably linked with "cleaning" football up, making it less working class.
Keeping the prawn sandwhich people happy.
Wolves played well today, master-stroke by Mick as Wolves were definitely sharper than Burnley.
Eagles played well for them but how the hell they have pulled off some of their results I'll never know, Nugent is a dirty **** and Fletcher will dive at any opportunity.
Come on West Ham!
