Removal of the rule where footballers are booked for removing their shirt or leaving the field of play after scoring
Sign Now
For a few years now, the rules regarding how players can celebrate goals in football, particularly in England, have been getting more and more strict. No longer may a player remove his shirt in delight or leave the field of play to celebrate with the crowd who want to share in his enjoyment. The incitement of the opposition's fans in a celebration is not condoned and should rightly be punished with a yellow card, however I do not believe that a player should be booked for removing his shirt or leaving the field of play after scoring. It reduces the interaction between players and fans and players cannot show their true happiness after scoring. It is a ridiculous rule aimed only at taking the enjoyment out of the game.

Get on with sorting other aspects of the game rather than being Petty about celebrations, celbrations show the passion and dedication for the team!

Sheva and Ballack did not deserve bookings! I think it's bola if they wanna celebrate with the fans and it should be encouraged!

Emotions and celebrations are an essential part of football make this game so fascinating! No rule should restrict or punish emotions at all!

Football - goal -celebrate. The rules are against the spirit of the game and spoil the enjoyment of the people who fund the game. Why not insist that players don't celebrate at all and instead march back to their position with no smiling or emotions allow

If you aren't going to make stricter rules about diving then don't make stricter rules about celebrating

Thou shalt be allowed to remove thy shirt after thy scoreth a goal. Thou shalt also shoot Jens Lehmann for being a twateth.
