I have a horrible feeling our players are plotting some kind of tribute to Theo for our next game

What price the entire team getting yellow cards for revealing "Get well soon Theo" t-shirts?

comrade or relative. Iliad, anyone?

It is put in the referee's report but it is not a yellow card offence at the time.

Taking the shirt off completely is a different matter.

And what you have written on it off course - if it is offensive the referee can even show a red

Celebration of a goal
While it is permissible for a player to demonstrate his joy when a goal has been
scored, the celebration must not be excessive.
Reasonable celebrations are allowed, but the practice of choreographed
celebrations is not to be encouraged when it results in excessive time-wasting
and referees are instructed to intervene in such cases.
A player must be cautioned if:
• in the opinion of the referee, he makes gestures which are provocative,
derisory or infl ammatory
• he climbs on to a perimeter fence to celebrate a goal being scored
• he removes his shirt or covers his head with his shirt
• he covers his head or face with a mask or other similar item
Leaving the fi eld of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence in itself
but it is essential that players return to the fi eld of play as soon as possible.
Referees are expected to act in a preventative manner and to exercise common
sense in dealing with the celebration of a goal.
