the sponsors want their logo seen, and the moment after a player scores is seen as the money shot - what they are paying the cash for.

thoughts? if true, its a bit of a fucking joke.

I've said it million times before and I'll say it again. What's wrong with manly handshake and running back to your own half?

Because sometimes goals are scored at important times of the game, or against big teams, or that goal may mean they've claimed the 3points and adrenalin and giddyness overcomes some players, I know certainly that if anybody scored a goal the last thing they would want to do is shake somebodys hand and say yeah nice one and run back to their own half?

the times have changed mate - should we go back to having no substitutes?

booking a player for celebrating a goal is ridiculous, and if what i posted in the OP is true whoever in the FA/Prem hierarchy who brought such legislation in should hang their fucking heads in shame.

Footballers who remove their jerseys during post-goal celebrations are to receive automatic yellow cards. The modification to Law 12, which was approved last February by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), will come into effect from 1 July, 2004.

The IFAB, the body responsible for the Laws of the Game, decided to add a detail to Law 12 relating to 'Fouls and Misconduct', stating: "A player who removes his jersey after scoring a goal will be cautioned for unsporting behaviour."

So as to avoid any ambiguities and facilitate the correct interpretation and application of the Law, a player will be deemed to have removed his jersey - and therefore become liable for a caution - if the jersey has been pulled over the player's head, or if his head has been covered by the jersey (see illustration - Removal of the jersey guidelines ).

Under the section "Additional Instructions for Referees and Assistant Referees", the Laws clearly state: "Removing one's shirt after scoring is unnecessary and players should avoid such excessive displays of joy."

This decision was agreed on at the 118th Annual Meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) on 28 February 2004 in London,

BOLLOKS - THAT RULE CAME IN YEARS AGO AND NOTHING TO DO WITH SALLY GUNNELLESQUE SHIRT PROBLEMS.

The first such example of this routine resulted in quite an amusing incident; Forlán whipped Diego Forlán shirt off in excitement after scoring an 85th minute winner against Southampton F.C. in November 2002
