Player scores does their thing, robot, sucking thumb etc, teammates come over engulfing scorer.
Team mates move away back to their own half to get the restart going, player who has scored then hangs around and does another thing, finger shaping, meditation. Ridiculous theatrics. WTF
Ps now the subs all have to get involved in the goal celebration as well. Isn’t that entering the field without permission. [Post edited 28 Dec 18:08]

The best embarrassing celebration for me Is watching White players celebrating by thinking they can dance the Jive as In jive talking, they cant but It gets better when after looking completely pathetic VAR turns up and disallows the goal anyway.
Now that's bloody funny. |  |

Over-performative load of rubbish. Pat on the back and a jolly good handshake is all that’s required.

Listening to Tyler, you realise how awful many commentators are. However, my real annoyance is with the co-comms.
Firstly, many are utterly effing useless, only really able to describe what you've just seen in the replay, and throw the word 'quality' in a few times.
However, all that aside, the thing that really brings my urine to the boil, and it pretty much applies to 'all' of them, why aren't they calling out clear and obvious cases of feigning injury and diving?
My only possible explanations are: they/TV companies are scared of being sued for defamation and/or a club/player(s) refusing to do interviews and denying other privileges. The likes of Keane, Neville. G, Wright, and Carragher all know it. Even pumped up laughing boy, Micah Richards, knows it and yet they say nada beyond maybe, 'he went down easily there'.

Do all they want, adds more minutes into injury time and fans wondered why the referee added those minutes |  |

What I find annoying is the clapping of a bad ball hit to an attacking player. The ball is swung across the the left wing to the guy running, busting a gut, down the right and it flies over his head into the crowd. He immediately gives the thumbs up in acknowledgement and claps the player that just over hit the ball. No, it's not a sarcastic applaud, heaven forbid, it's showing appreciation that the other guy tried, I guess, wtf is that all about? When did footballers get so sensitive that they can't handle some criticism that the pass was crap and they need to get thier sh!t together.
OK if the pass is pinpoint and the receiving player mishandled, then applaud by all means.
Are these Gen z footballers so fragile that they can't deal with an occasional bit of lambasting. My 70's sporting brain finds this ridiculous. |  |

Surely if a pinpoint 50 yard pass is fluffed by the receiver, the passer is entitled to gesticulate to his teammate that he's a vvanker, and encourage all and sundry to join in under the twin guises of: that'll learn him, and it's character building.
Clive Walker's debut has now sprung to mind. | |

How about when a player scores then goes over to taunt the home/away fans.
Especially when some of those supporters are wheelchair bound or young kids.
Wow! How Billy Big Balls are you?
Book the fools for this moronic practice that would stop this nonsense. | | | |

Personally, I can enjoy a bit of goading of the opposition fans, even though I still find Allen's celebration in the Palace quarter final more than a little odd. Sport is basically sublimated violence (THAT 2011 Chelscum/Terry game ought to tell us all about ourselves, if such telling were needed), so it always need some kind of edge lest it stray too far from the Freudian id that drives it. I might be in a minority, and I know all about issues like Mr Grealish getting hit by that moron, but a big part of me misses fans (and sometimes horses) on the pitch, politically incorrect chanting, and, all right, jumpers for goal posts, and as for Eric Cantona's masterclass in kung-fu on a racist scumbag then poetising it up in the press conference after, I think he should have got a certificate of sporting excellence. Football IS performance, it's basically theatre with a ball, so my main problem with all the modern simulation (tedious and loathsome though it is) is that it's so much bad acting. Kissing the badge? O yes, the little darlings mean it from the bottom of their hearts (if you're about five).
Post-hooliganism (which Baudrillard was right to recognise was a subculture of fans bascially trying to crash the party and turn the cameras on them), the worst thing about the modern game is, self-evidently, the shafting, contempt for, and in some cases manslaughter of fans by clubs, police, and the authorities - Hillsborough, Paris, and so forth. Nothing else comes remotely close, unless you're brain-dead. After that, if we must, don't get me started on the pricing stitch-up, phone-it-in culture, rotationism bullshit (and some fans' complicity with same), and the extortionists at FIFA. Pro football's about as good value as a kilo of cocaine!

Especially when it’s Barry effing Bannan in front of the Loft/Ellerslie. It may not happen every time but it sure feels like it. | | | |

Curious to know what ‘politically incorrect chants’ you miss, Stainrod. And why. | | | |

The lino following the player along the line whilst taking a throw in miles from where the ball went out of play. Every body does it so why isn't stopped? | | | |

The ‘too cool to celebrate’ goal celebration. You’ve scored FFS. Show some emotion! The only exception is for ‘consolation’ goals when you’re 5-0 down with five minutes to play. | | | |

Football TV commentators (not our blessed Sinton & co) talking about players', managers' and owners' background issues during the game, rather than properly describing the action and letting me know who's got the ball etc. I can't always easily recognise individual players of teams other than ours, especially when there's big squad rotation and 5 subs. Also, pundits not adding any value with their contributions.
Also, when watching live action on TV, I want to watch the football and I don't want to spend a minute or so looking at the reactions of the managers to nothing in particular. |  | | |
