staged goal celebrations. Horrible, no matter how 'funny' they are.

....and, while it's certainly noteworthy, I just wanted to slap each and every one of them.

This, on the other hand...

so I had to lol in silence - and i hate staged celebrations too, but that is ace, the theatre is so much better than the goal.

The team is from Garðabær in Iceland, and I like to think that the celebration is a tribute to the local fishing industry. Perhaps English teams will follow suit, with Stoke City acting out the creation of a lovely Wedgewood pot, and Northampton Town performing a piece in which they eke out a pair of fine gentlemen's brogues.

I also hate such staged celebrations, but the irritation factor grows when they accompany a penalty. A penalty should be celebrated by no more than a raised arm, a la Shearer.

Perhaps a pat on the back as well.

None of this girlish acting.

Thank you.
Why do so many of you hate staged celebrations. It's only a bit of fun.

copying Mick Channons one armed windmill when I was a kid, now THAT was a celebration.

See this YouTube clip...
