Totti TV

I watched a replay of a Premiership match today -
Sunderland’s 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane from earlier this season. Kieran Richardson scored the first goal of the game and was promptly booked for taking his shirt off. Which got me thinking…

The post-goal striptease doesn’t always end in a yellow card. So just how far can you take a goal celebration without getting booked? This Francesco Totti penalty in the 2004 Rome derby is the most outrageous I can think of.

Boot the ball into the net; run to the corner flag; hop over the hoardings; hijack a TV camera; point it at the Roma fans and…no yellow card! Jammy so-and-so…
