Can someone explain to me....

What's wrong with a nice manly handshake?


Silly rule but the players know the rules and why would you take your shirt off anyway?
Ah yes, that universally accepted sign of celebration, the shirt take off

Not a sign of respect for the death of Dennis Richie then?

I think the rule was bought in originally to deter players from having messages on their under shirts and showing these when they score. (Ian Wright )

Also it would cause a sponsorship issue if your under garments were made by a different company to the kit sponsor

Finally if you do this when you know its a booking you are a raging homo.

Not that there's anything wrong with that these days.

I thought it was brought in to stop time wasting when some player took his shirt off and then couldn't get it back on again. Probably usually gets someone to dress him

God disowns you as one of his children after that statement

Very strong case that it is a silly rule. . . .but a rule nonetheless and one that should be kept in mind even though you have just won the game for your team as the consequences are severe indeed. . . .

A bit similar to paying ones taxes which I think is an extremely silly rule!

In the interview afterwards the bloke from Sky asked RvP if the booking was worth it for the goal celebration. RvP's reply - absolutely yes!

He's absolutely right too. The team's clambering back up from the shitter, nothing wrong with a bit of emotion considering how bad things have been.

RVPs a cunt for doing it

Getting booked cost me points in the FFL

Don't know what job you do but is it one where you have the hopes of 60,000 people on you, ready to go "hooray!" when you pull it off? The spontaneous ones I can understand, it's the pre-mediated ones that are gay as.

I don't go "hooray!" when we score. I'm not from an Enid Blyton book
