What if a referee takes off their shirt to celebrate a decision?
They might as well do that. VAR takes an age as it is.
@@michaelkitchin9665 hah :D
@@michaelkitchin9665well they decide what to give eitherway
They get a yellow card probably they aren't just for players
Referees can get yellow cards too, I'm pretty sure.

Meanwhile Kieran Gibbs and Ox with their shirts on
😂😂😂 90% of people viewing this comment won’t know what ur talking about
@@Yuck300but the 10% will find it utterly hilarious
@@sas7432It's even more hilarious when the players themselves confronted the referee and told him he was wrong, and he refused to believe them even though they weren't denying the red card itself.
Explain plz
@@sparklee5044 In a match between Arsenal and Chelsea, Oxlade-Chamberlain handled the ball on the line, resulting in a red card and a penalty only for the referee to send Kieran Gibbs of instead.
Oxlade-Chamberlain literally explained to the referee that it was him and not Gibbs who had handled, but the referee refused to admit he was wrong.
Because of this huge blunder, Arsenal got Gibb's suspension overturned (because he hadn't done anything) and Oxlade-Chamberlain never served a ban either because the FA admitted that it wasn't actually a red card to begin with
They’ll do anything to prevent time wasting except the one thing that will actually work; stopping the clock.
Or just add a secondary clock that starts ticking when time is being wasted due to injuries/celebrations/pitch invasion etc. Instant +15 secs when players are intentionally wasting time. But nooooo! They don't want to provide that transparency.
@@Sujay95 they actually do that now, the world cup "real time" stoppage is being tried in many leagues this season.
also stopping the clock is not without its downsides, in America at least, sports that stops the clock usually have deals with sponsors to display endless commercials, creating so many damn artificial breaks lol.
@@nakiyame2606 they don't have to cut to a commercial break because the other clock is running. They don't even need to stop the main clock. Just run the 2nd clock alongside the main one.
Football has a lot of dumb rules like that one. Even NBA stops the clock.
@@nakiyame2606i mean when the clock is stopped the ball isnt in play so like who cares..??? except in celebrations lol if they do ads on goals people will riot
Thats why i take off my shorts when I celebrate a goal.
yo wait pause 🤨

Its hard for referees to identify and penalise players with no shirt on. How do we solve that? By introducing a rule that makes them penilise a player with no shirt on
Meanwhile Gibbs and Oxlade-Chamberlain: 🙄🙄🙄
There was an incident in Serie A in 2003 where a player punched the referee and called him a f***king J** and then straightaway took his shirt off and got away with. So it does make sense
If the only they had a number on there shorts aswell???
It's hard for cops to identify and penalize cars without license plates. How do we solve that? By introducing a law that makes them penalize/arrest people without license plates.
Your logic
@@nuclear4569 Yes, ok, but also cars are designed to look exactly like every other car of the same model.
Not saying this _isn't_ valid for footballers (especially since some _will_ resemble each other), but the car analogy doesn't entirely work.
I always assumed it was something about a very strict version of indecent exposure
"sponsor" yeah okay
The video clearly aimed at earning views. Even with the title.
The law was introduced in 2004
Mfs in 2003 mustve been wild
Diego Forlan scored a late goal for Man Utd in around 2002/03 and took his shirt off. He couldn’t get it back on and played the last minute or so bare chested holding his shirt. After that they brought the rule in.
Mfs before 2003 were wild in general
Also, the rule was introduced after a famous celebration of a player (can’t remember the name) who celebrated taking his shirt off and losing it in the chaos. The referee restarted the game with him still shirtless (and if I remember correctly he also fouled someone while still shirtless)
Found him, it was no other then Diego Forlan
@@SBDBestGamersgoddamn Diego..
Someone probably took it.

'Nuke the Whales' is The Simpsons reference
Gotta nuke something
Gotta nuke something.
I remember in one tv show, some kid wore multyple shirts so he can take off his shirt without being penalized.
that show was an argentinian teen soap opera with football named "cebollitas" meaning scallions.
in greece the title changed to "the fearless" (plural).
"Silcock Slaughterhouses"💀
geometry dash!?!?
slaughterhouse????????
“I am trapped”😂💀
Players: *take off their shirt from excitement after goal*
Referees: "wait, thats illegal"
Mf is everywhere
comedyhomicide
But why though?
Have you ever, in „real life“, been so excited, you took your shirt off? Has anyone?
(Love making obviously not included)
Now you can’t celebrate or VAR will rule out your goal
I get the joke but at the end of the day it's not the referee who makes the rules. He just does his job.
😅Forlorn took off his shirt & somehow he couldn't put it back on.
Do you mean Forlán?
@@footballhipster YES, BOSS! Typo😆
ForLord was wild about this.
I reckon Forlan had a bit to do with this as well 😂
I personally love it. If there was no consequence, players would take their shirt off every time they score. This way you make sure that they only do it when it’s a particularly important goal, like in the final minute of a cup final, making it particularly cathartic when it happens. If they always did it, it wouldn’t carry the special significance it does.
"Nuke the wales?"
"Gotta nuke something!"
Bruh what did we do?
Finally, a message I can stand behind.
The real reason is about sponsorship…everybody knows that.
Simpson's reference in the thumbnail, respect
It's not a Simpsons reference, it's just something that needs to happen
“No political messages”
“Bans Russia from the world cup”
Rightfully so.
@@NoahJudenStern That doesn’t matter. The fact of it is that doing such a move is contradictory - the governing body claims no politics, yet they did just did one.
@@TheUKNutter Still, rightfully so.
@@NoahJudenSternhow is this going to stop the war?
@@gabrielj6609 It will literally not?
“Silcock” 💀💀💀
Narcissistic November is gonna be so hype
Sick reference bro
Those second guys were so funny bro
Don't forget sponsorship. Those shirt sponsors want to make sure their logos are on all the photos and highlights of the celebrations.
"Let's riot" lol😂
Also I can’t remember which year but they didn’t want women taken off their shirt when they scored and the women got offended so they banned it for men as well
Diego Forlan laughing in the corner😂😂
Ikr😂
Why do I feel like that rule only started in like 2017 😂
Fun fact theirs another reason in 1999 a USA female football player scored a goal and took off her shirt showing her pads well a religion didn’t like it they said that she was reveling too much to her kids so FIFA banned it from women’s football but women protested because men were allowed so in 2004 FIFA banned it from all football celebrations
Silcock Slaughter House 💀
Technically this law was brought when a woman footballer took off her jersey to celebrate.
Gotta love Tifo for lovely little details like this Simpsons reference :D
The real reason happened in 1999 USA Vs China final. People complained and people defended. FIFA intervened and said the new rule became added that it’s a yellow card. Wouldn’t mean anything, but people will be satisfied even if they don’t want to watch the sport at all.
Women's expression is always when men get upset. Go figure. Still the greatest moment in World Cup history tho.
Take off shirt. Bulging muscles held up a yellow UNO reverse card. "Not today!"
This law was introduced when Vieri and Maldini started a t-shirt and wore it under the kit, removing it for celebrations. They did it for 10 games then the law was introduced
They don't want to let players promote political messages and they think its time wasting? How is that any different from all the players taking a knee before kickoff. Its a politcal message that wastes time.
They might aswell just say we don't want players promoting politics that we/our sponsors don't like. Premier league is sanitized garbage for people who hate genuine football culture. No drinking in the stands, no flares no tifos, no pitch invasions, just sit in your seat and give us more and more of your money.
Also refs don't have to give a yellow card. Its at their discretion. The fact that they do almost every time shows that they hate fun.
In a women’s final match (I don’t know which tournament) someone scored the winning goal and in celebration took their shirt off, the problem is that everyone (including kids) saw her knockers so the ref gave a yellow card
Edit : I forgot to mention the riots that led them to decide men can't do it too
If women can’t do it men shouldn’t be able to do it
I can’t believe that ref didn’t recognize ronaldo
Our boi Diego Forlan was the reason this rule was introduced because he couldnt put his shirt back on
The real reason is, when a woman take of the shirt, it will be a uncomfortable situation. That's why they made this rule for all football players.
Somebody told me it was because people thought it was wrong to ban it for girls but not boys
Goalkeeper holding the ball for a maximum of 6 seconds is the worst law. What is the point when it's never punished?
Each of the reasons for the rule are pretty bogus
All of them make perfect sense tho
@@ploppyjr2373 if it's so bad then they should make it a red card
@@ppmash so the rules are bad but you want them to punish it worse?
@@ppmash In that case why would they ever use the yellow card if everything is either not bad or "so bad"
All those reasons add up to it being kinda bad but not horrible.
A red card certainly would make more sense since how it is now you can still display a political message and only face a very minor penalty all things considered, making it pointless. The other rules are useless as well considering all the things that waste time, but aren't strictly penalised.
I mean, i do get it but i also dont get it at the same time. I'd rather have it be a case by case basis (I.E. someone removing their shirt to tribute a dead family memory or friend vs someone removing their shirt to display something political and/or distasteful) that makes more sense to me and stops players for being punished for trying to show support to someone, especially those who are no longer with us.
While I agree with you on principle, it would be hard to draw the line. Which political leaning would be considered right and which one wrong?
Best to just ban political statements in totality
That’s the problem of free speech, how do you police what’s alright and what’s not alright? What if someone gets yellow carded and then sent off for a double yellow and then later on it turns out it was alright? Or someone SHOULD be sent off but isn’t? It makes more sense to just ban it entirely because you’re no longer exposing yourself to unnecessary controversy especially over an unnecessary gesture.
Actual worst law is that the pitch has to be cut in boring blocks and not in to cool patterns, bring back circles!
Another reason, A AC Milan player took off his shirt and he couldn't get it back. So he had to play topless.
Political messages? But now is cool to show Ukraine
Football and politics have always been linked.
@@somethinglikethat2176only when it suits them and doesn't affect their bottomline. How many PL or European clubs showed solidarity alongside Ozil when he spoke up about the persecution of Uyghurs? ZERO. They want that sweet China money.
Easy to stand for a cause when it's easy to do so. It's basically armchair activism and tokenism.
Celtic was fined for fans promoting palestinian freedom too. They condone apartheid but ukraine is where they draw the line.
@@Neonstacks That's cause the West doesn't see brown Muslim people as actual people.
@@Neonstacksgood
It is crazy to me that public decency is not an official factor.
Because it's a shirt? Have you ever been to a Beach?
It’s not the women’s event
Go get laid jfc
Diego Forlan couldn't get his shirt back on in time but still stopped the attacker with the shrt in hand. It was one big reason for the change.
“Nuke The Whales” 💀
Bruh, I swear football has some of the dumbest ways of preventing time wasting. If you don't want them to waste time, stop the clock when there's a stoppage of play.
The main reason was because when a girl footballer took off her shirt while celebrating, the crowd sued the club. Thus, UEFA banned girls from taking off their shirt. Thus, the girls were angry and so UEFA banned for the mens football to unallow the shirt taking off rule. 😂🎉
THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE FACTUAL REASON🫶
Apart from the fact that's a lie.
Well if women can’t men shouldn’t be allowed either
@@Tyekiller115 nah women can take their tops off, we men aint protesting against that
that's the reason I heard and learned "time wasting" it's similar to the jumping in the crowd thing, it's considered wasting time and trying to prevent the other side from potentially returned a goal.
It's not that it's because in penalty shoot out in an major tournament in women's football the penalty winner took of her shirt and celebrate it and then everyone was really mad that this player then feminists wanted the rule to men but what Tifo said is right too
"Silcocks" 💀
I like how the referee does not recognize Ronaldo
We all know the real reason is because the stadium gets a bit hotter when we see them abs
The Messi drawing lmao
Messi going “seriously” at the guy not recognising him without his shirt is great
"Silcock" "nuke the whales" 💀☠️
Imagine you score the world cup final winner and you just take off your pants and celebrate
It's actually because in a Football match a on of the women took there shirt off and it was ban and there were protests to ban it too bc it was apparently unfair but men can take there shirts off too it normal
Nah, it's entirely about the sponsorship
Give thanks to Diego Forlan for this rule 🗿🗿
The reason was actually because a player(forgot his name) still had his shirt off when the game started after he scored and he was running around with his shirt on his hands. The messages under their shirts has nothing to do as players can still do it by simply showing the message without taking the shirt off and they won't get punished.
One day, phones will be considered game consoles
That "seriously" from Messi 😂😂😂😂😂
Another reason might have a relation of the incident with Diego Forlan. When he was playing, he scored in a match and throwed his shirt to the crowd. He couldnt get the shirt back and he had to play the rest of the match shirtless.
I think Forlan dropped his t-shirt once and it took very long time to recover it, so they started to book people for it as time wasting
And I thought punishment against taking the jersey off was introduced, because in women's football a player was booked for taking her shirt off for a goal celebration but in men's football no such rule existed. And hence, in the name of equality, the rule was introduced.
To be honest, its much more epic since theres a punishment.
"Silcock slaughterhouses"
In regards to the final point of misidentification, isn’t the player’s number on their shorts as well?
Another EXTREMELY dumb reason was some protested that if women can’t celebrate shirtless, neither should men.
This sounds like a list of reasons someone was told to come up with to justify a useless rule
What if the Manager takes off their shirt After
A Goal?
I always refer this because of Forlan incident 😅
So basically that one time Diego Forlan scored a goal, took his shirt off, celebrated excessively, when the game restarted he couldn’t put his shirt back on and had to go off the pitch for a second
Imagine taking off your shirt, and nobody knows who's the one getting the yellow card.
It's crazy how I was just thinking about this earlier tday n dis video popped up
What about shorts? "My bawls was HAWT!"
The catalyzer was that time For land scored with Man United, took his shirt off to celebrate but couldn't put it back on due to the referee resuming the match before he had the chance to do so, so he had to play about three minutes in skins.
honestly, i didnt know a player got punished with a yellow card for taking off the shirt
Am I the only one who noticed the shirt SilCock "Slaughter Houses".
I think referring to football rules as 'laws' is the best summary of how important some Brits think football is...
It's the dumbest, worst rule in football. And always has been.
"Silcock"💀
I thought it was linked to that incident where a player threw his shirt and people reaching for it caused a massive crash and several people died
20 years since they made that rule? God damn
What I'm most scared of is a canon New Vegas ending. The appeal behind NV is that _your_ story matters, there's no way you're being told to play it. To have that rug taken out from under you and turned into a set ending kind of... sucks, for lack of a better word.
'Why always me'
Is still the best ever !
It’s Like removing your uniform, in any job if suddenly you remove your work cloths you are going to get scolded at.
What is with the players, who just wants to pay respect, because a important person past away.
