Ah that’s a different kettle of fish I suppose. Quote

Exactly, can you imagine Maclean’s t shirt message this week. Quote

Marc505 Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 I thought I'd originally heard they banned players whipping their shirts off as the goal celebration moment gave the most exposure to the sponsor on the front and there was pressure on to not lose that marketing opportunity. Probably bollocks though, I believed anything I was told in my AMF days. Quote

Simple solution there is for the ref just to use common sense and discretion. If there's a wanky message- then a yellow. If its just a celebration with no message, or a harmless one to a new born maybe, then just get on with the game. Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 Or, for an even simpler solution. Don't ... take ... your ... shirt ... off. Quote

He gets plenty of stick anyway, but he'd get seriously hurt doing this and he's show the wider audience what a cunt he really is. Quote
Members bolty58 Posted September 13, 2022 Members Posted September 13, 2022 Traf - spot on. I really hope the obnoxious bastard does it. Quote
green genie Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Reckon he got booked for this?? Quote

Also if you watch Okocha’s goal against Boro on the last day, the message on his vest (‘Jesus loves you’ or some such) is pixelated out on the Arabic footage Quote

Stop the game for 3/4 minutes to find out what the message means ? Quote

I'm sure refs are more intelligent than that. Can't have fans being lauded for their "limbs" celebrations but players having to be rather sterile with their's. Quote

Yep, I'm pretty sure that was the original reason, it was to stop political statements being made. All a bit daft really, but rules are rules. Anyone who can't resist the urge to act like a primary school child and remove an item of clothing fully deserves a yellow. Quote

I’d rather they concentrated on reffing the game as at our level common sense is not a given. There are enough grey areas without creating another one. Quote
Site Supporter desperado Posted September 13, 2022 Site Supporter Posted September 13, 2022 PNE Vs Burnley today. Sky live game Looking through that league there’d be some cracking games. Big clubs, few new grounds (for me), big cities, good London games. And, more mouthwatering than all the above, some great local derbies. I so hope this time next year I’m looking forward to Blackburn, Burnley, PNE, Blackpool, Wigan (in that order) rather than Accrington, Fleetwood and Morecambe (in that order) Quote

For me, cupping ears and/or running to the away fans and gloating is more cunty. Quote

Its one extreme to the other in terms of away ends/atmosphere. Our local games are against some of the smallest clubs we've ever played in league games in our lifetimes, with their small away ends too. The clubs you mention aren't just bigger clubs (yes, even Wigan) but have away ends that guarantee an atmosphere. Throw in the likes of Huddersfield, WBA, Hull, any of the Sheffield clubs, Derby and/or Forest, Stoke etc, they are completely different games. MK Dons and Cheltenham away just isn't cutting it!
