Good to see action being taken against players who taunt opposition supporters after scoring a goal.If players get booked for over celebrating with their own fans, like Beestin at Scunny, then they should also be booked for antagonising opposition fans like this.In particular, I remember the Bristol City players milking it in front of the South a couple of years back with their “tennis” celebration that was designed to wind up supporters.Also, that Keifer Moore tried his best after Rotherham’s goal in November.

Kitson cheated for 3 goals with the help of the ref, first one wasnt a penalty, then he double hand balled the 3rd and pushed Sam Hird when challenging for the ball for the fourth. Mick Russell probably in the top 3 worse refs weve had
What always gets me is that fans think the opposition players running into the corner is to taunt them or "give it back". Players are obviously taught to run into the corner to be as far away from the centre circle as possible, delaying a restart and regaining composure. You even see in some matches where a player remembers half way through his celebration!Hate it. Celebration should be spontaneous but "professionalism" creeps into the game wherever and whenever it can.
