Talk:Goal celebration

Untitled

The examples of the celebrations being "carefully choreographed" before hand seem to be all celebrations which are peformed in the heat of the moment. e.g. the player telling the crowd to be quiet. The famous Bebeto celebration (the baby one) I'm not sure you would class as being "carefully choreographed", the player scoring the goal probably knew what he was going to do, but his team-mates are usually just copying his actions.

"Raúl invariably kisses the ring finger of his left hand after a goal, a salute to his wife." While the Raul celebration is a salute to his wife, is it ""carefully choreographed"? Does Raul practice kissing his wedding ring before games?

How about Jurgen Klinsmann diving on the ground? That is quite famous?--Brandnewuser 13:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

And Alan Shearer's celbration, which is always the same (right hand in the air)--Brandnewuser 13:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I added celebrations of Kaka and Alan Shearer.--Warlord88 16:09, 8 August 2006 (IST)

What about Faustino Asprilla's famous celebration? SCRA5071 14:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Would Mark Bresciano's extremely odd celebration habit of standing still as a statue [1] be worth adding here? -- Chuq 11:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

What about Thierry Henry and Emmanuel Adebayor's unique dance celebration that was demonstrated during their premier league exploits? Screwboat 15:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually I believe that Tim Cahill got his celebration from Archie Thompson at the 2006 WC and not vice-versa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.148.17 (talk) 06:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone explain the 'A' sign that players make with their hands? These seems to have cropped up in the Premier League in the last few weeks. Shindigo (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Restructuring

Hello,
I decided to make some reorganizing in the celebrations part, because I felt that the article started to look like a random collection of patches including several duplications and stuff. I now tried to organize the celebrations into three major groups
1.Common celebrations: well-known celebrations which are used by many players. That's where we either don't know who started this celebration, or we know it but they are used so frequently that they are not exclusively attributed to the initiator any more (like e.g. baby shaking). I also tried to gather here the various "acrobatic celebrations", "dances", "shootings" etc. into separate sections, where of course there are numerous variations of the celebration (frontflips, backflips, series of flips etc.), but it would be probably too detailed to list them all separately
2.Player or team trademark celebrations: repeatedly done by one or a few certain players. Of course they are not necessarily done by only one player in the world, but seem to count more or less like someone's "trademark"
3.Memorable celebrations: one certain celebration which happened only once in history, and became famous for some reason
Of course this structure might be debated, also whether I sorted the celebrations correctly into these groups, so any comments and corrections are welcomed.

i've heard of a players..

216.164.63.182 (talk) 02:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC) i've heard of a players crawling on all fours and peeing like a dog either on a goal post or corner flag, with the whole team following suit sometimes. Can someone find documentation of this. I thought I read about it on News of the Weird, but I can't find it now...

One such occasion that I certainly remember was Finidi George of Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup. I think that the match was against Greece? Gruen (talk) 10:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

memorable celebrations

Hello,

Monitoring this article regulary, it often happens that someone adds events to this section, which might certainly have been unique in their own, but I personally wouldn't label something that happened in some third division game as "memorable" compared to the likes of Tardelli et al. Being honest I would keep only about 8-9 of the currently listed 14 items in this section all together, those which gained worldwide fame really, but I just wouldn't like to start delete otherwise valid content right now
Any opinions?

No mention of the infamous celebration by Robbie Fowler (I can't remember what game it was in) when he knelt over and ran his nose along one of the touchlines, imitating snorting a line, in response to allegations that he was using cocaine at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.96.22 (talk) 18:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Punishment for excessive celebrations

I've removed some text which stated that the yellow card rule for taking your shirt off exists "because football is a global game and taking the shirt off might be deemed offensive in some countries". There's no evidence that this is the reason for the rule. In this article - [2] - for instance, it's explicitly stated by a member of the IFAB, who were responsible for it, that the rule doesn't exist to prevent people from being offended, but simply because they thought celebrations were "going too far" and wanted to draw a line. Blankfrackis (talk) 12:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

This might be wrong, but wasn't the rule instated after the 2002 World Cup or something because the Nike shirts had that separate inner net or something so it took a very long time to get it back on? chandler 14:14, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Do we have an article about this or at least a mention of it? It seems worth mentioning. Commissarusa (talk) 17:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

There two Yellow cards (therefore an "Indirect red card") may be showed, and the celebrating player has to leave the field of play. At first, the player is cautioned for taking his shirt off (or by pulling the hem of his shirt over the head), at second, for deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission. --213.225.1.227 (talk) 13:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC).

Two Silly Things

A friend's dad of mine, from Peru, had a collection of old records with "GOAL!" recorded on these. One record in particular had somebody screaming "GOAL!" for 28 minutes. I don't know if it was a trick or whatever, and seems excessive to me, and ridiculous.

The second thing, when a goal is made, is seems to me that these players keep celebrating long enough while another goal is made. A friend put it to me that it's like a mini Carnival (say it like a Brazilian) when a goal is made.

FA Cup 1999 Semifinal Replay

Ryan Giggs' "windmill" celebration after his winning goal in the last ever FA Cup semifinal replay is a very legendary celebration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maurizio689 (talk • contribs) 04:22, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

When the laws about too excessive celebrations were introduced?

I suppose that it was in the 1990ies, and then, for a few years, the laws were retaken, but at last, in maybe in the year 2004, the IFAB did introduce again? --213.225.1.227 (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2016 (UTC).
