What is your view on Goal Celebrations? Which ones do you like and/or dislike? Do you perform a celebration? What other qualms do you have surrounding this issue? Please Discuss....

Luca Toni's gesture is very unique, and I really like it to be honest.

It means 'Avete capito' originally, but I can also see it as 'Am I normal?'

Other interesting ones are Cahill's, Anelka's, salto guys (Klose, Martins, Nani), etc.

Del Piero's celebration is quite dumb, sticking the tongue out, lol.

I think celebrations are cool, as long as it doesn't insult anyone (like di Canio's Nazi thing or van Bommel's gesture [that one was good for me though, but thats because i'm a Bayern fan]).

I don«t perform any goal celebrations because goalkeepers don't score goals

Even though I used to be PK taker, I never had a unique celebration.

I've missed 'Do you perform a celebration?' question.

To answer it: Yes I do.

I don't have an unique one, but I do the Drogba celebration, because it represents a T if you look at it carefully (body + wings).

I've done the Toni celebration a few times.

I love goal celebrations, the more unique the better. Especially big team celebrations. I like Ramos's celebrations, different everytime & Cahills. And I like pepe's arrow shooting thing.

I like Obagol Martin's goal celebration.

I like most of the goal celebrations I see except, as Oli said, the insulting ones.

The ones were players put their finger to their mouth and tell the fans to sh(ush) aren't imo insulting...

I like the flips, Drogba's celebrations, kissing the badge and when Lampard kisses his wedding ring and points to the sky (moon) because of his daughter (Luna).

Also Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink when he was with Chelsea (celebration below):

As for scoring goals...I can't say that I score to many, from defence, to celebrate them

.

The "sshhh" celebration was in response to some very noisey fans, who no doubt were yelling insulting things to the players.

I also like Maradona's goal celebration of jumping up with the fist thrust in the air. Simple, but he was just a little guy, it looked cool, yet wierd.

but would you say it is insulting?? I just think that getting the goal helps the player prove a point to the fans and the "sshhhh" just helps emphasize the point.

**Jager** · 29-12-2007, 01:08 AM

Nope, its just funny. Insulting?? Who cares if it is or not? I personally don't think it is. And as I said, it doesn't stop fans from saying and doing insulting things to players, nor does it stop them from getting back at the player, if the home team scores.

So no, I think its all good.

But if it is considered insulting, I think it can't be considered like "flipping the brid"...middle finger..etc.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 29-12-2007, 01:15 AM

I personally don't think it's insulting, if the fans are giving you the boos or are saying some nasty things, you should be able to "defend" yourself. The "shhhh celebration" is the way for players to get back at fans, just like Jager said

**Vargas_4** · 29-12-2007, 03:45 AM

When i celebrate a goal. I...

1. Just lift my index finger (pointing my finger) wherever... normally at towards my right (using my right hand). But without really pointing at someone

2. (weird to explain this but ok...) I cover my eyes with my right hand then lift it up and close it as i throw a punch in the air.

3. Do the "superman" celebration (that's how it's called, right? - lol, not so sure about that

). Like Makaay's.

I liked Pauleta's celebration which was like an "airplane" entending both arms but he did it to represent the bird on the azorean flag, the islands where he is born in Azores, Portugal.

The best goal celebration ive ever seen, I remember was in a serie A match a few years ago.

I dont remmeber the game, it was Antionio Cassano playing for AS Roma. it was a big game, i think vs Juventus or Lazio and Cassano scored a goal, ran to the corner flag and kicked it and the corner flag broke in half... it was quite funny!

Robinho4Ever · 29-12-2007, 10:33 AM

I like Raul's celebration !! When he hits on his chest and sends a kiss to the fans ....

+ The Celebration of Robinho with the thumb in his mouth makes my day

....

Another celebration I likes: Drogba's, and "the robot dance" of Crouch ...
