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.
Ha ha i'd set off on a lap of The Pub Beer Garden for that goal ,came back to see the Goal had been disallowedYeah when sol Campbell scored the header v Argentina in World Cup 98 (France)the pub just went mental, beer going everywhere people crying with joy I was in a 4 man scrum on the floor but after regaining my composure & breath it took a while to sink in that it had been disallowed
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.

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.
