...It looks like Evans is kicking off with the referee because Posh tried to restart the game whilst half our team was still celebrating the goal with our fans on the touchline and the referee pulled it back!! Not exactly sporting was it? In any case I am sure you have to wait for the referee to whistle to restart. ******!!. No wonder Stendel was laughing Evans
I'm pretty sure the laws of the game say you can kick off after a goal as long as no opposition players are in your half.
I would consider it to be unsporting conduct and bringing the game into disrepute. After all, the scoring team has to run back a lot further and get into position to defend the restart. if the players all simply crossed the line in a group near the by line which often happens when celebrating goals. It could leave a clear run for the attacking side. Might be legal but fair??
Argentina v England World Cup '98 - Sol Campbell scores a legitimate goal, he's off to celebrate, the crowd are celebrating, the cameras are on Campbell celebrating, meanwhile the ref disallows the goal and Argentina are up our end of the pitch almost scoring themselves.
