Different sport though, I agree whole heartedly that a golfer will call a stroke against himself and snooker players do it regularly. Football players do not, and scoring with your hand is wrong the same way as diving for a penalty or waving for a red card for an opposition player is indemic in football but Maradona is pillaried like no other player as a cheat, while in my opinion excluding that instant seemed to get kicked from minute 1 of every game and for the most part seemed to just get on with it.
I guess opinions are like assholes everyones got one, we will have to agree to disagree.
