Footballers T-shirt messages could be punished

Players who display messages on T-shirts worn underneath their strips could face punishment under new proposals.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body which oversees the rules of the game, meets this weekend in Zurich, when the new regulation will be voted upon.

The new law has been proposed by the Football Association.

I hope this new proposal isn’t introduced, I don’t see what the hoo-ha is about players having a message on an undershirt, in fact slightly veering off topic I dont know why it was deemed a yellow card offense for a player taking their shirt off as a goal celebration, it hasnt stopped them doing it. 

Anyway back to the point, obviously if the message is offensive then the player in question should be punished, but otherwise what’s the reason for stopping them? 

I can just picture a bunch of very dull men in suits sitting round a big table saying we should ban messages on t-shirts god forbid a player attempts to show a bit of personality.  


Surely there are more important things the powers that be should be working on than this.
