So finally catching up on Quest

I must admit I quite like a back flup!

 

As someone with ****** knees from my youth of playing football to the point where some days I struggle to walk, the knee slide celebration makes me wince every time. Hate it with a passion.

 

Let’s face it - the powers that be are slowly taking away all the spontaneous joy out of the game so why not stop the celebration of football’s ultimate aim - scoring a goal.

 

Yes, she turned into a right little book worm, read everything she did, bless her. She's more academic than sporty even to this day

 

Crouchy's Robot was quite funny in the day.

I particularly liked Browny's and Chappers "Tango" dance at Millwall away last season - that was quiet funny

 

Didn't Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do his knee in with a knee slide? Thought it ended his playing career?

 

I don’t think anybody is suggesting that you shouldn’t celebrate scoring a goal but there are good ways to do it, and knee sliding isn’t one of them.
Players assume that the ground will hold and their slide will look slick and nothing will go wrong but you only have to look at what happened to cricketer Simon Jones in Sydney in 2005. His knee slide, trying to stop a four, ended in absolute agony when his knee dug into the surface and he did serious damage to himself.

What he tried wasn’t uncommon in the game and you still see it today but is it really worth potentially ending your career for it?

 

Get Rammell on.

 

The trouble is (away from the gymnastics side of things) so many goal celebrations arent spontaneous. All these stupid choreographed dance routines involving half the team that they've spent hours on the training ground perfecting are pathetic.
True spontaneity is wheeling away with your first in the air and running as far as you can before your team mates pile on!

 

I'd hate to think those dances took hours to choreograph! I don't mind them, shows a bit of team spirit imo.
