Jol blasts stupid Berbatov for shirt gesture

Fulham manager Martin Jol described striker Dimitar Berbatov as 'stupid' after the Bulgarian was booked for a bizarre T-shirt gesture after scoring in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Southampton.Berbatov scored his sixth goal for the London side after eight minutes at Craven Cottage before Rickie Lambert levelled five minutes from time.Berbatov was yellow-carded for his celebration which involved revealing a T-shirt which read: 'Keep calm and pass me the ball'."It was a bit stupid and I will have to have a word with him," said Jol."He probably thought he would get away with it as he never gets booked. It wasn't the brightest thing to do but he wanted to make a statement."He tells the youngsters every day to play with confidence, keep the ball and don't be afraid. You need confidence and self-belief to play your football. He wants us to play in a certain style and that is the message he's trying to get across."
