Football fans were treated to an unexpected goalmouth celebration yesterday as a Premiership referee and his linesmen acted out a bizarre celebratory mime after the officials notched up an historic footballing first. ‘It was incredible’ said Mark Halsey as he was handed a bottle of champagne in the post match interview; ‘In fifteen years of officiating I have never ever given a penalty and had the defending team say ‘Yeah, fair enough. Good decision.’ I just lost it, I did a little robot dance, and then the linesmen joined me and we lay on our back and mimed being cockroaches that had just been blasted with insect spray. The players looked a little confused to be honest.’
