Gerremoff? No, keep em on!

FIFA is set to reinstate the rule banning players taking their shirts off as part of goal celebrations, two years after the rule was relaxed.

A FIFA sub-committee is due to meet next month and it's thought they will vote to reinstate the rule which means that removal of shirts will become a mandatory cautionable offence, punishable with a yellow card.

The organisation has defended the move, saying it is taking into account that with matches being screened worldwide, Muslims are often offended by seeing bare chests.

Earlier this year, players were told they were allowed to remove their shirts during goal celebrations provided the vest they wore underneath did not display any messages or slogans.
