There’s a time and a place for dabbing in football. That time is never and that place is nowhere.
Okay, almost never and almost nowhere.

Sutton United were enjoying one of their most famous moments in nearly 30 years, beating a Leeds United side more than 80 places above them in the English football pyramid.
Neutrals up and down the country were enjoying the underdog story, made possible by a Jamie Collins penalty shortly after half-time.
But then this happened.
Sutton don't deserve to win this anymore…. pic.twitter.com/Pe1J9bjrEs

You could see the moment the fan realised he was on TV. There was a split-second’s pause, as if he was wondering to himself ‘do I really do this?’. And then he decided to go ahead with it.
Viewers were taken aback, immediately losing all pride they had in the performance of the non-leaguers.
Hideous behaviour

We’ve never seen Leeds United gain so many fans in such a short space of time.

Even the Leeds fans watching the game had something to cling to despite their defeat.

If that’s how fans will react during a fourth round win, imagine what will happen if Sutton find themselves on the verge of a place in the quarter-finals.
