Glad he got sent off for thinking he’s some sort of God - and now we’re all aware that he’s thick as shik. Absolute fool. Fine him 2 weeks wages. Modern day footballers - what a joke. |  | |  |

I think it was brought in to avoid the unseemly sight of a bare chest! Now players all have layers underneath the shirt in the same colour, it really is time for the rule to go. |  |

Pretty sure it would have been brought in to protect the sponsors Rather than photos of bare chests/underlayers they'd want to see their brands on show after a player scores I have no evidence for this, but given how football is all about the money it would make sense |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Someone pointed out to me that his name was a palindrome hence why he plays in number 22 as well. I enjoyed this bit of trivia |  | |  |

Some players like to show their beer gut off - proper lads |  | |  |

There was also several occasions when players struggled to get their shirts back on for the restart - I remember Diego Forlan in particular playing skins for a couple of minutes at one point. |  | |  |

It’s exactly this. Same reason why cyclist on Tour de France have to zip their top up before going over the line when winning a stage- sponsors pay in part to be visible on the pics when good things happen. |  | |  |

Unfair to pick on football. Any sport with a reasonable number of viewers is the same. |  |

| Ekitike sent off for taking his shirt off on 12:58 - Sep 24 with 1657 views | iamatractorboy | The rule is daft (but clearly aimed at protecting sponsors), but I also have no idea why so many players have a compulsion to strip off when they score. What's that all about? |  | |  |
