It's perfectly acceptable if you're with a group whose sole purpose is watching a game, but if you're just some asshat with a buddy or two at a pub sitting with a larger crowd of people who are not there to watch the game, S... T... F... U. It's jarring. It's rude. It's fataing annoying.
And yes, I know there is a gear grinder thread. This is bigger than that, which is why it deserves its own thread. [Mod edit- no it doesn't]

It started off withone reasonable comment that you need to be more specific about where you are eating to determine if it is appropriiate. Which I think is valid. Then it degenerated into jokes about bears and dogs. Most of it tired and old but the odd post being pretty funny.
As to your gear grinder if you are eating on the restaurant side of Boston Pizza (no one should be eat there anyway) then cheering loudly while other families are enjoying dinner is probably offside. But if you are at any pub with a TV then I think it is fine to cheer even if others aren't. The closer it is to a restauarnt with TV's the less loud you should be. The closer it is to a sports bar the louder you can be even if others aren't watching.
