I remember celebrating like a loon against Notts County when we hit the post at the Goldstone in 1990. I didn't realise it had bounced out rather than in.

Fckng County - they RUINED that season for us and I still don't like them for it.

I will admit, me and some mates went to watch the Reading game this season at the AMEX, sat near the South stand and when we thought once Greer had been sent off, we went mad. He isn't even an Albion fan!

I'm easily fooled - thought we'd scored at home to Wigan last season when it hit the sidenetting. Annoying Wigan fans took the mick for about 30 seconds. Not good.

Does anyone here admit to doing this? By the law of averages some must. It baffles me - ALWAYS the first thing to do if there's any question mark re: offside is to check the lino, check the ref, THEN go crazy.

You see people still celebrating AGES after it's obvious the goal has been disallowed, always confuses me that this happens.

Sorry for confusing you :)

Sunderland in the league cup a couple of years ago, my dad and I went crazy when we thought the ball had gone in, only to realise a minute later it had trickled on to the post.

England vs Tunisia, we were allowed to watch the first half at primary school (after a protest we held), we all went mental when we thought England had scored, only to realise a couple minutes later it had hit the advertising board behind the goal.

I always look for the linesman, referee and players reactions before I celebrate for any sort of goal line scramble goal. Nothing worse than celebrating a "goal" only to realize it wasn't.

When we beat Pompey in the FA Cup at the Goldstone in the early 90s, I was in the West Stand when Portsmouth put the ball in the net in the last few minutes, and a bunch of their goons ran from the East Stand terraces on to the pitch to taunt the Albion fans. If they'd stayed where they were supposed to be, they'd have been able to see the lino on the East touchline with his flag raised - but since they'd now run straight past him, they were the only people in the stadium who didn't realise the goal had been chalked off.

Marvellous scenes, I believe is the phrase.

At Huddersfield Town this year I was sitting in the main stand, in an isolated spot, and managed to get a picture of Ulloa's (disallowed) goal. I was then busy looking at the picture and sending a twitter message (which thankfully didn't send due to poor signal), then began following play again about a minute later. I thought the score to be 1-1.

At half time I was on the concourse and noticed that Sky were reporting the game as 1-0 to Huddersfield Town. And continued to do so.

Thinking how strange that was I returned to my seat. The scoreboard was out of sight, as I was so high up, but I bent down to take a look to see what it said, and noticed that we were still losing............

:ffsparr:

I was sitting in the West Stand for that match. In the sleepy sedate section. Without thinking, I jumped out my seat and gave the :wanker: sign with a Brian Blessed decibel howl of 'Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr' in the general direction of said pitch encroachers..

I received a number of darkened stares, and sat down mouthing a John Cleese style 'Sorry' .....

I foolishly celebrated when Lampard's shot against Germany in last World Cup seemed to bounce a yard over the line, I should've done what the lino did and gone to SpecSavers

I put my hand up to celebrating Sterling's near miss tonight. I calmed down when the players were not celebrating but went off again when goal and England 1-0 flashed up on the screen. Sorry, I don't usually do this at the amex.

Happened at the Forest game this year, right down the front, didn't check the Assistant.

I put my hands up for that one, too.

Also, after. Sterling's side netting shot last night, it deffo said "goal" on the screen, so I continued to celebrate longer than I should have done. :down:

Hart's injury time "winner" in the 0-0 at the Mad Stad about 12 years ago when we were trying to knock reading off the top of League 1 at the time. I and many others celebrated big time because it didn't occur to us that there was anythng wrong with a perfectly good goal - then it was dissallowed.

At Corals a good minute of celebrating occurred before we realised that it hadn't gone in. I'd never done that before and even from the replays I was still certain it had gone in! If only it had!

My son and I went crazy for about 20-30 seconds until we realised that there were no celebrations. I only believed it when they showed the effort from behind the goal.
