Turns out the ref carded him after his goal apparently for having the temerity to show that message to his dead sister under his shirt - this despite next to no one not made of cardboard being in the ground, and no camera on it. The only booking, by the way, in the whole game!
Andy Woolmer, hang your sad head in shame! What a complete, total and utter tosser you are! [Post edited 12 Jan 2021 22:18]

It's a slam dunk booking under Law 4. However, given that the blazers who run the game are spineless twerps, Bonne would not have been booked for revealing a slogan saying "RIP George Floyd" as the laws were relaxed in the summer after Jaydon Sancho was carded for that very slogan and the online mob howled with outrage, so the card was rescinded and the law tweeked.
Oh, player only has to reveal a slogan - it's got nothing to do with removing a shirt or how far shirt is lifted. |  | | |

You sound like Mrs PP, who added this classic to her argument today
"You wouldn't go to church and expect the priest to take off his shirt or the staff in Sainsbury's to, so why do footballers have to do it?"  |
Mrs PP sounds like a fine woman. You are lucky that she has blessed you with her love. |  | | |

With the greatest respect to your Missus, football is theatre/performance, not groceries or bad wine at the altar. I actually quite like the idea of the refs reading the messages on players' shirts as it adds to said theatre. A message about a dead sister after a goal scored should get a gentle pat on the back; an unexpected slogan say, from Cameron, about supporting Amercan patriots gets his his marching orders and pelters as he departs. People need to understand the difference between the spirit of the law and its idiotic fundamentalism at a bare minimum. As I've also pointed out, refs routinely let go other far more tiresome and/or destructive infractions like time-wasting, shirt-pulling at corners or stealing half a mile at throw-ins. Most fans don't give a toss about gladiatorial exposures of the chest, only the one-eyed authorities. | |

Yes, I was wondering if he had got that wrong.
Am I correct in saying that if Chair and last night Bonn had not pulled their shirts over the front of their heads and onto the back of the necks but had simply held them up to their chins, they would not have offended? |
There are two mentions in the LOTG.
The first one talks about more general sanctions, more relating to political slogans I would have thought. The 2nd one is when a card should be issued, so strictly speaking, yes you're right if shirt not lifted over head, it would be 'just' a report.
Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements
or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious,
personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the
manufacturer's logo. For any offence the player and/or the team will be
sanctioned by the competition organiser, national football association
or by FIFA

This part confirms what we both thought, offside fk should have been taken in Luton's half.
If an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the
offence occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the field of play. | | | |
