Title may explain it but here it goes.
A player gets a caution for removing their shirt.
Cool, we all know that. Though would you caution if it was compassionate grounds (like for a loved one just passing away maybe)?
But what about if the message revealed is provocative to fans and/or players alike?
I daresay it's not happened or that it ever will, but imagine a tense Turkish game, or even the Glasgow derby.. if a player lifted their shirt but not over their heads (as defined in the laws, this too is a caution), and revealed a message like "rangers are rubbish", or "you lot are easy"... what the sanction be, if any?
Technically he (or she) hasn't committed what is written by lifting the shirt over the head and/or removed it. I'd have thought a caution still is warranted and maybe for showing lack of respect to the game.
Anyone disagree?
