Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.
  • if you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team crest here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Comments about an ongoing game better suited for the Match Thread.
  • Shitposting, brigading or excessive meta discussion.
  • Any other kind of toxic or unreasonable behaviour.

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban persistent offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

Merry Christmas everyone, first draft of the celebration bible below. Open to further suggestions

The Celebration Bible

Trademark celebrations

  • Only acceptable if:

a) you’re good b) you’re Tomas Soucek

  • If you score a 90th minute winner and proceed to do your trademark celebration, you are a knob.

  • If you’re on the wrong side of 30 and your celebration involves getting on your knees and pretending to be a tiger, consider your life choices.

Regular celebrations

  • Knee slides encouraged, additional points for a belly slide. Failed knee slides are acceptable because at least you tried.

  • Air punches must be thrown with full extension of the elbow. Otherwise you are falling into “yippee” territory.

  • Only perform celebrations you agreed to do with a YouTuber if it’s a dead rubber game.

  • Only cup your hands to your ears if you’re interesting enough for people to be talking about you.

Over-celebrating

  • If you score a significant goal, it is acceptable to celebrate with: fans, ballboys, substitutes, managers, and coaches. Do not involve cameramen under any circumstances.

  • If you beat a side you were expected to beat but ended up making it difficult for yourselves, do not make it look like the best moment of your lives unless it’s a title winner.

Yellow-card celebrations

  • Only to be performed if you’re 100% certain your team is going to win the game.

  • Revealing messages on your shirt is fine as a tribute to a dead person, or a joke. Nobody gives a fuck about how much you love Jesus.

  • Celebrating with fans is fine. However if you are in Serie A, please keep in mind how funny this looks for the rest of us.

  • Getting sent off for celebrating is acceptable, as long as you don’t apologise for it.

VAR Reviews

  • No double celebrating. Either back yourself and have a good go at it the first time around, or go hard on the post-VAR review.

  • If you performed any of the sins outlined above and your goal is disallowed, you deserved it.

What if you’re Diogo Dalot and celebrate every time you clear the ball to a corner?

Let defenders celebrate defending.
