Barnes goal celebration

[kevtherev]

Anyone else think he looked a bit of a prat, giving it large after his goal on Saturday. Seen it a dozen times now and i'm still not convinced he knew a lot about it. Just seemed to hit his leg and roll it the back of the net. Then he strutted away giving it the old strong arm stuff. Think he made himself look a prick.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Excellent. Even when he DOES score there is still something wrong with it. On the pitch Barnes does strike me as a bit of a cock. Only from the opposition's point of view, mind you.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

I didn't think he really did celebrate? Didn't he sort of look a bit embarassed, turn around, get congratulated, then do the kiss-arm thing that he does EVERY time he scores and walk back to the centre circle? I've not seen it since though.

interesting, first it's what we're allowed or not allowed to sing, then the Harvey's drinkers wanted the lager drinkers lined up against a wall and shot, then someone leaving five minutes early was tarred and feathered, it's about time we clamped down on some of the players celebrations

If only he had done the decent thing and put the ball into Row Z.

Come on El Pres, he can't do that all the time lol

He got into the right place at the right time, and when crofts pokes the ball past the keeper, Barnes flicks his foot towards the ball. It may have been more instinct than design, but it didn't just bounce off of him.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He may not have known much about it but the replays on Player show that he did put it in with his boot, not his shin or any other part of his anatomy. I think it shows an instinctive quality that he reacted so quickly to a loose ball and that his positioning was good.
Carry on criticising.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Don't be a prick.

This is my point, i'm not disrespecting the goal, although i'm not convinced he knew a lot about it. I saying that his pose and giving it large afterwards, was more in line with a 20yard screamer than a flukey tap in.

So because it was a scrappy goal you just sat in your seat and clapped then did you and only get up and jump around a bit when CMS scores an overhead

Was Bridge also wrong to celebrate his deflected free kick earlier in the season or did CMS, for his two deflections from Barnes' shots v Barnsley, also look a prat

I think you're being harsh here. In fact, I thought it was the best goal your team has scored for quite sometime!

No not at all, that's not my point. My point is, you don't pose and give it the arrogant strong arm crap. When a ball has hit your leg and rolled over the line. A hand across the mouth and a chuckle would have been more appropriate.

call the old bill, let them sort it out

This x1,000,000

 

[Mellotron]

He did a little fist pump because he was happy about scoring. For f***'s sake.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Oh dear. We haven't scored for god knows how long and now one of the usual culprits manages to still have a pop at something about it.

 

[Oscar]

Yes how dare our players celebrate goals. Appalling behaviour by Barnes. I fully expect him to something equally as appalling on Friday.

 

[The Large One]

If he'd have run away doing the sliding knee drop, or the 'Bebeto', or the Mick Channon windmill, or ripped his short off over his head, there might be some cause for the 'prat' comment.

But he didn't. He poked home a sloppily conceded ball, then walked away, slightly embarrassed, pleased to have scored, kissed the tattoo on his bicep (something he always does), and trotted back to the centre circle.

Fin.
