Are players still getting booked for taking off their shirts when celebrating?

There was a stat last year saying Salahs total bookings over 75% are for taking shirt off after a goal.

Well, sure, maybe. It definitely says something about Grealish that he is going down easily and getting those free kicks. That is damn near 4.5 free kicks a game assuming he started all of them (and he likely did not). Sure, he is a skilllful player who moves the ball and shields, he does get fouled. But that is a lot of calls.
By contrast, Salah is also a tricky player who moves the ball, shields, and definitely goes past people. It is hard to shed fan bias, but all things being equal I think I see Salah getting fouled fairly frequently - and he has played 190 PL games since the beginning of the 18/19 season. That is less than one free kick per match.
Hmmmā¦

If Mo has not received any offer,you would have to wonder if there are any brains in FSG.
Reckon it would go down like a lead balloon around the world.
Is that AI?
This is being reported on the BBC, so I assume that they have validated that itās a genuine video.
Heads should fucking roll at FSG if Salahās new contract isnāt tied up before Christmas.

Forget about everything else, if this video is real then I only have one thing to say.
Absolute top-class mentality from Salah there. Itās easy to focus on the negatives, like questioning why the club donāt seem keen on offering him a new contract, but I think by far my favourite part about that video is him staying humble, and making it clear that heās going to focus only on what he can change ā his performances. Nothing else.

Just in case the video needs further validation (the times we live in, ehā¦). What on Earth is going on at this club? FSG, Edwards and Hughes should be paying Slot extra for teamās results up to this point because they provided zero strengthening to the side last summer and they are fumbling the contracts of three key players.
Fully agree with @redalways, thatās elite mentality from Salah. Simultaneously putting pressure on them to extend his contract, while doing everything he can on the pitch to show heās worth it.

Before the pitchforks come out, clubs sources have already responded and said that talks with Abbas are ongoing and positive. It is likely that a formal offer will be placed once a verbal agreement has been reached.
Salah isnāt doing himself any favours by trying to publicly apply pressure to the club hierarchy.

If the offer is not forthcoming at the moment, IMO, it doesnāt translate that negotiations havenāt been happening along the way.
Could be LFC are monitoring interest in MO from other clubs, or could be waiting for his agent to show his definitive hand firstā¦
Could be the contract is being drafted right at this momentā¦ Squeezing down the timeline week by week might be a āwho blinks firstā tactic LFC are prepared to riskā¦!
Bottom line in all thisā¦ It doesnāt matter one jot if every fan on the planet wants MO to stay, it is whether AS wants him to stay. That is the over-riding factor in thisā¦ If AS gives the green light to keep him ;and he may still be undecided himself; then Iām sure LFC will pull out the stops to make it happenā¦!

What the fuck are Hughes and co doing? This is starting to really grate on my ballsacks now.
Get your 2 best players signed up, it shouldnāt be that fucking difficult like. Donāt want to hear anymore āyeah but talks are ongoingā bullshit, itās been ongoing for over a year now.
