Depends on your definition of offensive. They appear to be his own teams fans and they seem to be enjoying the celebration!!!
your harsh Ryan!!!! :lol: although i dont dispute, you might be correct!
I'm just playing Devil's advocate here. I still think that booking someone for celebrating scoring a goal is the ultimate kill-joy action, the vertiable party pooper! After all goals are what the game is all about! If I recall correctly I read that a player would only be booked if he celebrated a goal by removing his shirt to reveal an undershirt bearing a political, racial or offensive message upon it. In other words the removal of the shirt in itself would not be a cautionable offense. Who decides these things? Grumpy Cat?

A player must be cautioned if:
* in the opinion of the referee, he makes gestures which are provocative, derisory or inflammatory
* he climbs on to a perimeter fence to celebrate a goal being scored
* he removes his shirt or covers his head with his shirt
* he covers his head or face with a mask or other similar item
