Deano and Sharp both celebrated against us.

Some ex players go mad at those who don't celebrate but I think it's a nice touch that fans on the receiving end appreciate.

Look at the reception Pesch and Kyle W got.

Just because you choose not to wave your arms about doesn't mean you're not busting a gut or enjoying it.

What is the point of scoring a goal and not celebrating it?

There is a bit of difference in celebrating a goal and taunting the fans, Deane and Sharp celebrated in front of the Leeds fans and Donny fans, not a problem with that.

A bit different what Adebayor did in front of the Arsenal fans at Man City.

 

[Davalon]

Deano and Sharp both celebrated against us.

They certainly did and more wildly than Unsworth did, although Unsworth gets far more grief for it despite leaving the pitch at end whilst the other Wigan players celebrated with their fans.

Unsworth went and celebrated with Jags

Deane ran the entire length of John St airplane style smiling at us

I remember him running up the South stand side unless my memory is playing tricks.

That was my recollection too but I've not done well with memories on the Agana thread so I thought I'd keep quiet on this one.

Edit; but as Za says, new stand side.

 

[Kenilworth]

got no problem with players celebrating a goal.
That's what the game is played for

Would that be the new South stand BB?
I still call it that. It's 40 years old ffs!!

 

[Rodders]

Deano ran the length of the John St. I remember it as that was the moment my childhood died

Let's ask Leon on Sunday when he heads home a last minute winner

Deffo John St mate. I was on the West Terrace and got crushed in the surge forward to have a go at him.

 

[dazzlingblade]

celebrate yes, but with respect

It's newer than me though.

As much as I'd not like to think about our players not celebrating if they scored against a former club.

It's nice to see they still feel something for the club and want to show respect. That's said unless they took the piss I wouldn't really hold it against them.

 

[Blade1771]

The one that springs to mind about treating us with dignity and respect was David Unsworth. He scored the goal that sent us down, but if he didn't take that penalty, or deliberately fluffed it then that would have been unprofessional, and disrespectful to his own club.

The fact that his celebrations both when he scored the penalty and at full time were low key, oozed class.

Would you celebrate scoring against Utd ? I agree with what you say actually but I just couldn't.

I forgive him for that, we were shouting what a waste of money to him.

 

[From the pig end]

Hope Leon does sunday.
I wonder who scoring the winner would upset them the most, obviously Lavery is out but ched, Sharp or Leon?

 

[WhiteHawk]

I'd love to see Leon Clarke do this on Sunday.

 

[georgethecat]

What about this beauty?

I've said this before. If I was playing for a team and scored I'd against my old club, I'd celebrate. This whole respect thing is bollocks. How about respecting the club you're at.

As I have said before, there is an interview where he explained why.

 

[sufcboy95]

Celebrate yes but don't take piss out of the fans

 

[1889]

If they had any respect, they wouldn't score in the first place

 

[CarlingBlade]

As I have said before, there is an interview where he explained why.

Have you got it?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If I was a player scoring against the Blades I would probably head but the post in rage and start slagging off the keeper and defence.

 

[Bladesway]

Have you got it?

Not to hand but he mentions racist abuse being the reason he celebrated. He did say it was in the moment and he shouldn't have done it with hindsight. Again I read it some time ago so can't remember the where and the how.
