From the bbc website, it doesn't look like he was booked...

Pointlessly harsh. The inevitable booking was irrelevant. He was happy and celebrated. He's 19 for gawd's sake.
Exactly, one of the worst FIFA rulings in the book. What harm is it doing anyone. Jump in the crowd and celebrate with the fans with your shirt off I say. But no, FIFA want them to keep their shirts on because it's all about the money and the shirt sponsorship deals PATHETIC!
Meanwhile, players can pretty much swear at the refs and officials all game and get away with it. Great example that sets to the kids about 'respect'. Football authorities wouldn't know a respect campaign if it hit them between the eyes.

FIFA receives no money from sponsorship. there is no organisation representing sponsors interests to FIFA. with this in mind, do you really think FIFA give a monkey's toss about any affect on shirt sponsors?

Never mind whether it should or shouldn't be a booking, I just don't understand why players get an impulsive urge to remove clothes in the excitement of scoring.
Does this card mean JFC is banned for a game?
No great loss as he makes Keith Andrews look like Zico....
... however the cynic in me can't trust FIFA not to be on the make somewhere along the way with any pie they can stick their grubby finger in.
No. Odd comment.
thats the nub of the matter really, there's no pie for them to put their finger in so why would they bother. interesting point about Mandela, i suppose he simply transcends conventional politics.

It's a fair point and so I'll just concede the argument. Does make you wonder then why they don't just impose severe sanctions on players if they display any kind of slogan but just let exuberance go and accept it as part of the game.
I see exactly where you're coming from on Mandela too, and as an exceptional human being I think yes, he did transcend conventional politics. However, witnessing minutes silences being imposed even at kids games in England felt a bit ridiculous and didn't sit well with me.
Why? You not noticed his game recently consists of a mix of 5 yard negative passes and a mixture of nothing and running about a bit? Without his goal today I would have forgotten he was even on the pitch
That's a bit odd. The kids game bit I mean. Something not quite right but on the flip side football can teach people new things and it may be a chance to however I think it is a bit... OTT to do it at a kids game.
The goal was scored in the 95th minute when the early leavers had gone.
