Remarkable situation in last week�s Champions League qualifiers: Itay Schechter, striker of Israelian team Hapoel Tel Aviv, got a yellow card after he put a kippah on his head and started praying.

Watch the goal and the celebration first:

This is what the Fifa Laws Of The Game 2010/2011 mention about religious signs: �Players must not reveal undergarments showing slogans or advertising. The basic compulsory equipment must not have any political, religious or personal statements.�

I e-mailed UEFA, this is was their initial response: �In his (Pedro Proen�a was referee of the match Salzburg � Hapoel Tel Aviv, jan) report the referee of the match mentions that he gave the player a yellow card for �unsporting behaviour�.�

Uefa added this: �The referee�s decision is certainly based on Decision 1, page 20, of the FIFA Laws of the Game.� That�s the text I mentioned above.

Fifa has forbidden to wear headscarves. That�s the reason the Iranian girls team was banned from the Youth Olympics. Maybe that�s why a kippah is not allowed too.

But what about making a cross sign with your hand, I wondered. These days many players do it, even referee Massimo Busacca does. So what are players (not) allowed to do? Uefa reacted: �The referee has interpreted the goal celebration of the player as an unsporting behaviour, which might well not be linked to any religious sign or action.� Does this mean they withdraw their first message?

What would you�ve done? How do you interpret that particular rule in the LATG?
