1. Caution the player and just say try not to do it again.
2. Tell them to take it off and tell them to wear normal gloves.
3. Give a another yellow car and send him off as it against the rules of the advantage as the the striker took control of the ball and then give a free kick to where the offence was commited.
 
Sorry I've not been doing this guys. Will pick it up again this wknd!

Haven't seen the answers, but I disagree :)

1. Don't let them, they have to have a goalkeeper, but he, just as any other keeper can run up for corners etc.

2. Give a throw in, was clearly going out of play, science suggests it wouldn't just drop to the ground immediately before the line instead of hitting the linesman..

3. Two yellow cards, neither are the last man, they're both covering for one another.
 
1. No, your required to have at least 1 player in each position. They don't get an exception because they asked nicely.

2. It was going out and the assistant obviously has a shocking reaction time. It's a throw-in.

3. Two yellows. Neither were last man.
 
1. Let them play on without the keeper.
2. bring play back, all Ref's assistance must be able to do their jobs. The striking of the ball would have knocked the linesman down.
3. two yellows.
 
1. No, they must play a goalkeeper but can still send him forward.
2. Allow the goal, as the ball didn't leave play. Report the incident to the FA after the match so they can take disciplinary action against the linesman for having rubbish reactions.
3. No cards given, sounds like each player was just shoulder barging, which is allowed.
 
1. Yellow card, players are still cautioned if they have a vest underneath so surely this is the same.
2. Red card the defender for unsportsmanlike behaviour and award an indirect free kick.
3. Red card the keeper and award a goal.
 
1. Still Issue a yellow card.

2. Red card for unsportsmanlike like conduct. Free kick from where the offense occurred.

3. Award a penalty and red card the keeper. (Do nothing about the defender)

1.Yellow Card, players are still given a card regardless off what there wearing under their shirt.
2.Red Card for unsportsmanlike conduct and award an direct free kick to the attacking team
3. I would yellow card the keeper and award the goal because him conceding is punishment enough already.
 
1. Give an warning to the scorer.
2. Yellow card to the defender and award direct freekick to the attacking team
3. Yellowcard the keeper and defender, disallow own goal and award penatly kick
 
Keith Hackett's answers

1) The quality of the shirt underneath is irrelevant: the law about taking off shirts during goal celebrations is precisely worded and designed to prevent crowd incitement. So book him in the usual way.
Thanks to Hugh Allen.
2) It's a red card, and a penalty. Although the ball was in play outside the area, the offence occurred inside it.
Thanks to Nicole Jennings for the question.
3) The defender has misread the situation. He thinks that, by scoring a meaningless own goal, he has saved his goalkeeper from picking up a suspension for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. But the striker's shot seemed to be running wide – so there was no "dogso" offence to punish. There is also no such thing in law as "the last man" – it's a misleading phrase used by pundits who should be referring to "dogso" instead. If the defender hadn't intervened it would have been a penalty, but as it is, it's a goal. You should also discipline the goalkeeper with a yellow card for his reckless action in dragging the striker down.
Neil Patel wins the shirt.
