On better times watching old/er clips and watching when a goal went in how quickly kick off was.. the announcer would barely get the goalscorer out and the match had kicked off again, not the blatent time wasting pissing about down in the corner for half an hour that happens now.

Yeah. Just let the opposition get the ball, get on their side and blow the whistle. That would get the celebrations/timewasting down to a minimum pretty fast! |

One of my biggest pet hates, unfortunately we've seen it way too often
Once the inevitable goal goes in the player goes over to the away end, all players bar the keeper come over, the player usually does a little prayer, looks up to the sky, says a few words, high fives the entire team
Then the slowest walk back to their position while the ref looks at his watch and threatens to add on 10 seconds for the 3-4 minute stoppage
I don't know why I'm saying all this as we all see it every Saturday

There's definitely a gap in the market for a goal celebration which amounts to no more than jogging back to the half way line for the restart in a 'just doing my job' kind of way.

Bloody kids at my lad’s games do my nut in.. it’s not just “the siuuu” or “the Salah” or whatever, now you get 8-10 yr olds crossing themselves and pointing up to the heavens on their way back to the halfway line

Remember when the team went onto the pitch. A quick limber up and just got on with things? Now not only do you need a musical intro but every player needs to hug every other player.
Like they don't know each other and need a good hug to familiarise themselves again. Just get on with it...

Pet hate is the bloody group hug that opposition teams generally do, gets me really wound up and not quite sure why other than stop fannying around and get on with the game. Generally happens when we are lined up, the ref is stood there like a plonker waiting to blow the whistle. |

They're all just a bunch of insecure, in constant need of reassurance babies! 😃
Even making a successful tackle they have to touch hands with their buddy!

They are just a bunch of wimps now…more concerned with how their socks look than playing the game…does my head in…it’s up to the Ref to stop it…oh wait a minute lol. |

Yeah. Just let the opposition get the ball, get on their side and blow the whistle. That would get the celebrations/timewasting down to a minimum pretty fast! Simple…..have mandatory say 2 minutes added time for a goal same as they have 30 seconds added for substitutions which is rarely ever enough when the substituted player deliberately places himself furthest away from the bench than saunters over when called by the assistant ref. As many have said before I’m an advocate of external timekeeper who stops the clock when game is stopped for certain things like goals, substitutions & VAR stoppages. |

Maybe, but it drags the tempo of the game down. That is an important part of time wasting, it's not just the clock ticking on. For example, in Futsal, you have 3 seconds to get the ball into play or the ball goes to the other team who then have 3 seconds. This is meant to keep the tempo and action up. |

There's nothing worse than players enjoying scoring a goal and celebrating with supporters. Just get on with it ffs.  |

I’ve described this before to show that South Americans are dab hands at time wasting ……a few world cups ago Columbia were defending against whoever it was and ball went out for a goal kick. As opposition were trotting back to face the goal kick the Colombian goalkeeper rolled the ball towards the corner flag as his defenders lined up to defend a corner. In the resulting confusion the ref called the Colombian captain over a massive argument ensued as the benches got involved resulting in delay in the proceedings. |

It's a complete non-issue. |

Shades of Stefan Thordarson at Charlton. Scores a worldie, shrugs his shoulders and walks back to the half way line surrounded by his team mates going mental.

I have forgotten how to celebrate a home goal,maybe it's because it is mainly a consolation goal,instead of a winning goal.
