Not Celebrating

When did this non celebration when you score against former clubs nonsense start then? What a load of bobbins it is. Obviously Adebayors full pitch length sprint to the Gooners complete with knee slide was a bit OTT and uncalled for/ confrontational (side splittingly funny though) but as far as i'm concerned there is no problem for someone to celebrate a goal at a former club. Its no disrespect to your former employer or the fans. Its a silly gesture that needs stamping out IMHO.

I agree, if they have so much respect for their former teams why did they leave? if a villa player scores I want to see him celebrate, regardless of who the other team is

To be honest i couldn't give a flying feck if a player didn't celebrate as long as he banged the goals in against his former club..

I'd love to see players behaving "normally" after scoring goals, as they did in yesteryear. OK, if you score a blinder you're entitled to camp it up a bit but two hands to the heavens, the run to the corner flag, the skid on the knees after you've scored a tap-in - NO! The likes of Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law (and, TBH no finer goal-scorers are you ever likely to see) simply shook hands or, at best raised an arm to the crowd after tucking the ball home. Now it's the kissing-of-the-badge or taking-off-the shirt. In the old days all that swanning about was considered distasteful by us Brits - how the world has changed.

I like to see the goalscorer celebrating with the fans. A fist pump to the crowd and a big "come on" to raise the volume is great. One of the worst goal celebrations i've seen was after a Chelsea goal while Lampard was off following the death of his mother. The Chelsea players held aloft a Chelsea shirt which had RIP Pat on it. How fecking tacky is that?

If I was a Villa fan and scored in front of the holteagainst villa , no way whould I celebrate tbh. If I had played for villa and scored against them, up to me, but can understand the reluctance. Im pist by the way as long day

Denis Law started the thing off when he knocked the goal in for Citeh which relegated ManUre.
