Own goals

In Football (Soccer to you guys over the pond) many a player over the years has taken great pleasure in celebrating their goal scoring, they hug and kiss their fellow team mates, they dance, pulling their shirts over their heads then slide on their knees to adoring fans round the edge of the pitch, arms outstretched.

I am proposing a slight rule-change, from now on if you score an own-goal you should be made to act in exactly the same way, as if you'd scored it for your own team, adding to the excruciating humiliation. And if you fail to do so you must forfeit the whole game.
