Please record it. It makes for great viewing.
Newsroom rampage going on during Outside Source... England wins the penalty shootout against Colombia and the whole newsroom is in applaud, Ros Atkins has to drop a report mid-way and update the viewers on the World Cup.

How unprofessional.
Though a quick way to confirm the result without having the rights.

Could be worse. "well we'd like to apologise for interrupting this news report due to unprofessionalism of our news staff, we'll calm them down and be back with the newsdesk after some music <followed by 15 minutes of some God awful audio drivel and an anachronistic abomination pretending to be a holding slide>"
A similar situation occurred at Sky News a few years ago (a cheering newsroom, not a Cwilliams bomb), except the newsroom cheering had to be heavily subdued or curbed due to the story they were on at the time.

How unprofessional.
Oh come on.
Nobody on air was unprofessional. Whatever the result there was a good chance it would be the top story, and its not often working in news broadcasting that you get to follow a happy story. I've worked on news stories whilst big sporting events are going on- if you're fortunate you get to take a moment to look at a replay or penalties in a shootout etc. That reaction (and more) would have been replicated in groups of people in all sorts of places, I'm glad those in the newsroom got the chance to enjoy it.
In the process it created an enjoyable bit of TV too. Ross handled it really well (I'd expect nothing less).

I presume that was the commentator and not their fire alarm going off at the end there....

What if a Columbian viewer tuned in only to find a world renowned news organisation cheering for their loss. Ever think about that?
Had it not been simulcasted to the World it'd be more appropriate IMO.

I'd expect a Colombian viewer watching a UK based international news channel to understand.
