It's very hard to see what he actually does. I suspect the referee, not knowing it's a regular rite of celebration for the player, has misinterpreted the gesture as a piece of dissent. Sometimes players make the glasses sign to indicate to the referee that he/she needs to wear glasses because their eyesight must be defective as they are missing so much. Perhaps that is the explanation.
Seems the most logical explanation to me, WB.

I don't think anyone was accusing the referee of being logical !

Guess I asked for that!
