Yeah, same with players taking their top off. Personally I find the unbridled, take off my shirt, celebration unannoying as it's obviously pure emotion - e.g. Harewood against Arsenal the other week - but players always get booked for it so why do it. On the other hand, it does seem stupid that they get booked for that, which is relatively minor offence in the grand scheme...
Most annoying goal celebration?

Haylz- I don't think the players are thinking that they might get booked when they do it, it's done in the moment. Everyone does stupid things at football when they get over-excited, or is that just me?!
Can rules be overturned if enough fuss is made?

The comparison of the old-fashioned 'boring' nature of Shearer's celebration and the modern dramatic shirt-off-looks-at-my-pecs celebration is worth considering. Footballers in the 70s, 80s and 90s didn't need to take their shirts off to celebrate a goal. Charlton, Best, Dalglish and Lineker were superior goal scorers to most of today's crop and they celebrated with their shirts on. Shearer had a brilliant scoring record also and can be compared to the old-school breed.
In the age of the classically toned body matched only by his tiny IQ, today's footballer will knowingly pick up a yellow card just to show off his sexy bod when he hits the back of the net. Very selfish (not to mention immature and stupid) if it means picking up a suspension along the way.
As for jumping in the crowd, well what if someone's got a knife? I know this sounds ludicrous but I bet Monica Seles wan't expecting to get stabbed that time. It could happen. It's an incitement thing and with public order offences as they are, footballers running into the crowd don't help. Again, historically footballers didn't feel the need to indulge their egos in the arms of their fans, usually their team-mates sufficed. So what's changed?
Answer = Dickhead-ness.

while much is made of the lack of intelligence of the average footballer i think that we can expect them to run into the crowd containing the right fans
Taking your 'expect the worst and panic like fuck' scenario and turning it around you put forward a great case for segregation at tennis tournaments....
what has changed is that there aren't cages keeping fans in nowadays

what, fucking what?
jesus the idea that you shouldn't jump into your own fans after scoring cos you could get knifed is ludricous. I mean yeah you could but i'd say your more likely to get stabbed answering your door to sign for a parcel.
What the fuck is it with society, it's like anything that involves passion, spontaneity or risk has to be regulated or banned, fuck that!

This is pretty annoying..
He's a little cunt.
Rooney's christ like celebration after his bicycle kick last season was almost as annoying as the goal was brilliant.
Asprilla's shirt hoisted on the corner flag was the best. Although Hartson's old-school clenched fist at the crowd runs it a close second.
Oh and any club who play music when they score should be docked 6 points each time it happens.

Yup I was at that match and think he was lucky to get out the ground aliveDid it four times in one game against the 'pool once. I was well fucked off x 4 times!
He seems to have gone off the boil a bit now.

I think the fact that this is a tribute to his dead mother who he was very close to and who watched most of his games should excuse any critisism I think.

He completly shinned it hey, I was outraged when that won goal of the season last year, flukey dyed wig wearing twat, Bale's volley was so much sweeter!!
