There are some ridiculous examples of players pulling their own shirts available to view online so it will be nothing new.
We have looked at the subject in some detail in our research and our takeaways are the following:
So the main conclusion that we have arrived at is that self-manipulation already exists but ColorFlash will likely see it diminish as match officials become more attuned to spotting the shirt-pull.

We have looked at the subject in some detail in our research and our takeaways are the following:

- Self-manipulation is relatively rare.
- If VAR is in use then the player may earn a yellow card.
So the main conclusion that we have arrived at is that self-manipulation already exists but ColorFlash will likely see it diminish as match officials become more attuned to spotting the shirt-pull.
