Who is the worst?

[superfrank]

It supposed to mean "Go on you boyo" or something, just what I heard. And the section he "aimed" the celebration at contained his family.

[liam88]

No he didn't. AFAIk, it's not a "faggot" sign anyway, but he apparently makes that gesture regularly when he scores and it had nothing to do with the welsh fans

Oh sorry in Guildford it means "faggot"........of course i'm always worng.

teams shuold protest. every time a player scores, the whole team should go mental, and all take their shirts off. now how stupid would the bureaucrats look when games get called off for "over celebrating"

....Is probably the worst.They seem to be behind in everything from keeping ther site up to date to geeting there own stadium Also IMO they don't do enough for the Eircom league.

It is six to one and half a dozen of the other.

UEFA had no choice over the Champions League - the G18 had them over a barrell, and continue to.

Disagree here. The UEFA is the highest organ. They should show the world who's the boss and that they are not for sale. It should be their damn duty to just show the G18 they can't just get all what they want and that money can not buy anything. As long as non-champions are allowed in the CL the whole world should boycot the tournament IMO.

This taking off the jersey to celebrate is pathetic. How come football survived for over 100 years without the need to take off a jersey when there was a goal ? It's purely an affectation. Do the fans when a goal is scored immediately think I must take off my jersey - never entered my mind once.

There are reasons for the rule (something to do with Muslins and the sight of the body I think). A player knows the rule and I think it is the player who is daft to get booked for a meaningless gesture like taking off a jersey. He knows the rule - stupid to get booked. Numerous other ways to celebrate.

1: tens of thousands of football fans across south america take their shirts off for goals,and swing it round their heads.go tell them theyre stupid.
its called celebrating,no harm is done. if the muslim thing is true,then allowing religion to dictate rules for celebrating a goal is stupid. anyway if i take my top off after scoring a goal in the phoenix park how can you justify booking me, because muslems might get offended??!!

2: christ sake theres enough sterilisation of fans going on with out making it worse.youd swear you want to go back to the days where handlebar-mustachioed gentlemen all shake hands very quickly after goals.

Fair play but as I said earlier....in the World Cup you can pull your shirt over your head i.e. revealing the naked flesh of the body. I'm not being steryotipical here and i'm totally open to correction but i'd say the majority of Iranian players and fans are Muslim. So we've established if you are playing Iran it is perfectly within in the laws of the game to reveal your flesh to a majority Muslim crowd.
However in England you cannot take the shirt of at all! So you can be playing Everton (who I think is safe to say the majority of their players and fans are not Muslim) and get booked for reavealing naked flash.

I know I rambled there but in a nutshell:

No penalty for revealing flesh vs Iran + Yellow card for revealing flesh against Everton= Political Correctness in England gone to far.

Jut my opinion......by the way can a mod make the top post a pool-cheers

UEFA have got to be the worst after letting sh*tpool into the champs lge and for running a tourament called the champions league when you don't have to be a champion to play in it

Quite right if it was any industry other than football you could take UEFA to court under the Trade Descriptions Act... Champions League... and 4th placed teams involved?... you're having a laugh!

Also IMO they don't do enough for the Eircom league.

Spot on, the neglect of our own national league by our national body is criminal. It is much of a muchness between each of the three organisations though. In general, major sporting organisations always seem to stumble from one crisis to another, you only have to look at the FA in England or our friends in the Gaa for more examples!
