[Football] Annoying goal celebrations

James Ward-One-Trick-Pony-Prowse’s golf swing is, possibly, the biggest “Look at me, aren’t I a complete tosspot”celebration ever

Never seen him do that on the field.

I offer you Van Hecke celebrating Dunk's goal against Palace as a bit of soothing moral balm - at 3 minutes in there wasn't really enough time for the Palace player to aggravate him that much to make it personal, which makes it all the more special.

Also, Maupay in front of Palace fans is one of my favourites of recent years

Maupays went on and on. Just when you thought he was finished he gave them some more. I'll try and find the full video and report back. It needs another airing I think.

With van Hecke, I'm not sure if you are being disingenuos or if you have simply been fooled by the optics of that photo. Anyway, he certainly wasn't laughing in the face of Schlupp (as it appears at first glance). As soon as the ball goes in the net he runs towards Dunk, who pushes him away. van Hecke then turns (still celebrating and jumping up and down) and runs off in the same direction as Dunk. He doesn't even know Schlupp is there.

As regards Maupay (and Duffy for that matter) - celebrating a first team goal by goading your rival team's fans? Fine by me.

Cormac Austin, though - his actions were of a c**t of the highest order. It's an U-18s league match (so no fans), and after scoring he purposefully runs towards the goalkeeper to gloat in his face (I've watched the video). He almost causes a mass brawl. What an absolute mess of a human being.

Why is it EVERY single goal is now celebrated with a sliding knee skid across the pitch ? EVERYONE. The 8 goals of March, every one. I don't remember this being done in 70s 80s 90s but now it is boring tedious and predictble and it cuts up the pitch. Just STOP

Do a knee slide on the pitches of the 70s 80s and 90s it’s a fair bet you’d end up in quagmire of quicksand or break your kneecaps on a concrete hard playing surface of compacted mud.

Doing knee slides in the 70s, 80s and 90s you run the risk of broken glass, sharpened coins and dog turds...so yeah

Sallah's getting on his hands and knees in praise to his God. He decided not to do that with a late penalty at Man Utd as Liverpool were dropping crucial points then, which didn't have anything to do with Allah

What a memory you must have

I agree about knee slides and various ' look at me ' stuff. Knee slides ( especially when a half dozen players jump on top of the fellow in a pile ) must be bad for the body and the pitch. One ' look at me ' which really irritates me is the players who keep a grim face with no smile but crossed or outraised arms towards the crowd. Oh, and the pointing to their name on their shirt.....
