Goal Celebrations You Would Like To See...

[Coryattheplex]

We were up by four at that point....seemed harmless enough though, the other teams players were laughing at us because the guy that scored is known through out the league for missing easy chances. No offence ( I ref as well) but officials can be pricks sometimes!

Two years ago a player in our club did the "doggie" and pretended to pee on the goalpost after scoring. Our local forum lit up with complaints about this "classless act". The kid was South American and was just imitating what he had seen on TV. Personally I didn't have a problem with it, but I guess it was too much for the middle class suburban soccer moms. It was an under 12 game. He didn't play last year, but look out - he's back with us this year!:)

I LOVE THIS KID!

By the way Fudge didn't do the "doggie" as you call it, he did the "first thing in the morning, lean back and scratch your butt while moaning 'OH YEAH' " version of the peeing thing.......it was truly a beautiful sight to see.

A round of applause for Travis Fudge everyone!

I agree Cory - the best refs at amateur level tend to be the ones who have played the game a bit, and can have a laugh with the players, but pull things into line when needs be. The old Law 18 - Common Sense.

As a ref I always try to go back to the bar after the game and have a beer and a laugh with the players & officials (obviously I usually ref seniors) but it is amazing the number of my colleagues who treat players as if they have plague. I don't claim to be the best ref going about, but I don't have many problems.

Cheers

The best refs I have ever seen are the ones that establish a relationshp with the players......one that leads to an understanding that the official is not here to ruin your day, but is instead the protector of the game and it's players. Thats a role that I try to fill evry game, I guard the integrity of the sport as jealously as I would my wifes honor.

How 'bout these:

1. From "Any Given Sunday": goal scorer runs to the corner and "Machine guns" down his teammates.

2. Wrestling: Do the "Triple H": after score, grab keeper's waret bottle, squirt some in your mouth, eye him as you walk behind the net, spit it up into the air in a high burlesque mist while facing the crowd.

3. Wrestling 2: After completing the hat trick, knock down a teammate with a standard move (like a clothesline) and cover him while another teammate counts 1-2-3.

4. Wrestling 3: From Stone Cold Steve Austin: while keeper is on the ground, flop down on your belly next to him with your head just inches over his and scream taunts directly into his ear. (You'll get you ass kicked, and you deserve to, after getting advice from an internet Bulletin Board).

5. Run in front of the other team's fan section, drop to your knees and spread out your arms in mock acceptance.

6. Run to the camera and shout "Oh, God, Make it stop! Please, God, Make it stop!" (Best if used after expanding a lead)

7. The other football: Dig the ball out of the goal, run down the line and spike it (USNTs should use this one)

8. Grab the post and do your best impression of the "Bada Bing" dancers from the Sopranos (At least I'd like to see Mia, Lorrie and Brandi do this one).

9. Raise the Roof. That was much cooler than it got credit for.

10. Only for us Indians: Grab the corner flag and yell, "I have discovered Europe!"

What about a little Michael Jackson routine? Like the part from the "Beat It" video where he breaks from his group dance routine and does a spin, stops, leg kick, then trust your pelvis in the air. And quite possibly add a little Michael "hee" in the end.

[Ringo]

how about the entire team gathers on the endline and breaks into one of those 'Lord of the Dance' routines.

[BerwynBlazers]

As long as there is no crotch biting, like some professional did a couple months back.

Nice! And the goal scorer has the honor of being Michael Flatley.

This would not go over well, especially if the goalkeeper in question were some behemoth like Kahn or Schemichel. A final goal celebration, in all likelihood.

I'd like to see a player climb up on the Crossbar and do a back flip off of it(unlikely), or at least stage dive to his teamates.

Of course not. You just use it when you want to a real *********************. =)

When I was playing down in Mexico with Atlas, we were on the road and it was going to be my last night with the team, so me and a few other guys snuck out of the hotel and went to a club the night before a game.

Well, we all got drunk and the coach found out and fined us all, but we were all starters, so we still played. We were playing against Rayados and one of the guys that went out the nite before with us scored the only goal of the match. We all went running down the sideline and grabbed a few girls from the bleachers and started dancing with them like we were at the club. Got a few yellow's for it and fined again but it was worth every penny to see the look on the coach's face.

One of the funniest I've ever seen...
UEFA Cup semi-finals this year, second leg of Feyenoord and Milan. Feyenoord is at home, and Van Hoouijdonk gets the first goal on a vicious header. The place goes bedlam and Pierre sprints full-go towards the corner...and just absolutely kicks the hell out of the corner flag. He just booted the thing right out of the ground and it went about 20 feet in the air. I loved it, I thought it was spontaneous, something I'd do if I scored a huge goal like that. I have it on tape, it's priceless every time. Nice kick, PVH;)

Anyone else see it?

I had the idea of a goal celebration in which a player lifts up his uniform over his face, only to reveal an undershirt which has a picture of him celebrating a goal...with his uniform lifted up over his face.

Now, if that picture is taken with the same shirt underneath, and so on...kind of strange but very imaginative, if I say so myself.

Waiter:"the Malkovich is ecceptionally good today."
Diaz: "I'll think I'll have the Malkovich instead"
Waiter: "excellent choice, Malkovich, Malkovich."
Malkovich obsessed id: "Malkovich, Malkovich"
Extras Malkovich: "malkovich, malkovich, malkovich"

What a horrible dream, I was playing soccer and the bodies of the teams were normal but they all had John Malkovich's head.

Maybe MLS needs to look into this...it might attract more female (and maybe some disturbingly effeminate male ) fans. It's seems to be on par with the NY Times photo shoot anyway. :P

what about the ray parlour? go to the corner flag and pretend your double fisting beers! that's a classic. i also like the kiss your hand and smack your boot with it.
