    Does anyone else think that being booked for taking your shirt off is ridiculous? I don't know why they introduced it. I don't see anything wrong with excessive celebration, although on the plus side, at least they don't need a time-wasting VAR check to see whether the shirt came all the way off or stopped at the armpits.

    Ah, thanks. I'm not sure how the money gets through but I don't want to know either.

    Wasn't the rule brought in to stop players having a vest on underneath with a message on it, I remember Fowler having a "support the dockers strike" T shirt on which he revealed by taking his shirt off after scoring

    I agree. I tend to visit less often after a bad game for the same reason.
    Imo, there's enough **** going on to get anxious or depressed about without adding football to it. I want football to be an escape from everyday problems.
    I do get a bit down after bad results, obviously - but I'm over it quickly enough and looking forward to the next game.
    I know some people are apprehensive about forthcoming games but I'm never like that.
    Even the second leg of the Real game - I'm prepared for it to be a defeat, but even the remote chance of us turning it around is enough to get me looking forward to it.

    Should you be booked for it? No.

    I do think players are a little ridiculous with their celebrations though. In my line of work, if I reacted that way every time I fixed a difficult bug, I think my coworkers would have me sectioned.

    I thought it got brought in after Forlan scored then couldn’t put his shirt back on and wasted a load of time?

    Telling me it’s not normal to run around hugging everyone when you do something well at work?!

    What about shouting ‘the boss is a ****er’ and going singing YNWA at 4:59pm?

    I've never really understood the compulsion to pull your shirt off in celebration.
    I agree that some of the routines look silly. The thing that really gets me though is the piley-on where the scorer is buried under three layers of team-mates and emerges unscathed. The same players who roll about clutching their faces when an opponent brushes against them.

    I think it's because then you can't see the shirt sponsors logo at the prime moment. Got to keep the brand earning top dollar.
