We suppose it's more acceptable to do this at 3-0 than at 1-0. When you have a narrow lead it can be interpreted as nothing more than really creative time-wasting.

However they are the first to involve so many players in the celebration. Frankly, we feel sorry for the goalkeeper, who couldn't join in with the fun.
