Any ideas what iconic celebration he was replicating today? It was a looong way away but appeared to involve the corner flag?

I'm going to enjoy my long flight to Vancouver.

Shall have a chuckle whilst thinking about it

Superb.

Loving the effort that’s going into these.

See, I told you he’s doing these on purpose! I wonder what he’ll do agains Carlisle. Only “famous” scorer I can think of is that goalie who scored the last minute winner to keep them in the league about 25 years ago. Maybe he’ll slip on keeper gloves and incite a pitch invasion?

He’s probably too young to be aware of that

Someone needs to send him a link to a YouTube clip of it

It’s not much of a celebration, need new suggestions please

Could he do a ‘Jabo’ if he scores v Carlisle?
Carlisle legend, 31 goals in 85 games.
Dunno if jabo did anything special when he scored.

Some refs may have booked him for mis-use if the corner flag!

On a different tack, I’m not a lover of all this shenanigans in the run up to a penalty - should be in The Laws that it must be a clean run and strike. IMO.

Make you right on both counts, some refs would have pulled him for the run up, some would have booked him for removing the corner flag.

From the Laws of the game: "feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker"

I think that’s what their keeper was saying.

You can understand why.

But as I’ve said earlier, I thought Saturdays ref was really bad so not surprised he let it go.

Why do they want to do these, IMO, silly acting-style celebrations. Handshake, fist-bump, chest-jump and then get back to the centre circle and get another goal.
