Goalkeeper sent off for excessive celebration

For ‘excessive’, read ‘possibly obscene’.

Bryn Lennon

Saving a penalty is a big deal, everybody knows that. Things don’t get better for goalkeepers. So when it happens, by all means celebrate. Celebrate hard. Celebrate by standing on your six-yard line, left hand on right bicep, right fist pumping, for nearly a full ten seconds.

That referee just doesn’t understand.
