did anyone see lyon's fifth goal by Bergougnoux against sparta? he took off his jersey, but he had a second one underneath! he was wearing two jerseys! and he still got a yellow card! now how does that work, the adverstising logo argument is completely lost

I didn't see it but I heard about that rule a few months ago and I think it sucks. What's the big deal they take their shirts off they put them back on two seconds later, they're gonna trade the jersey's with the other teams at the end of the match anyways, it's not like they're gonna horrify anyone with beer bellies.
In a MLS match some guy got carded for it and his shirt wasn't even off, he just lifted it up and he had an undershirt on with something written in spanish on it and he got carded for it and I thought it was the most ridiculous thing.
