Great to see that ' This is my home' gesture which has happened to us in the past from previous players. He didn't get as much abuse from geordies as expected afterwards.

I think it was initially prayer hands for forgiveness then more of a you shouldn't have let me come here as he wagged his finger and then pointed to the turf.

Looks like Wellbz was trying to steer him up-pitch to calm things down and defuse the situation. .

With the possible exception of a club legend returning, like Dennis Law against Manchester United or Fat Frank against Chelsea, I think not celebrating a goal is disrespectful to your present team.

I've seen player who spent a few months on loan refuse to clebrate when going back. Go and say your pleasantries to the club's supporters at the end of the match if you must, but don't put a downer on your new club celebrating a goal!

Personally I'd like to see more players go for the full Adebayor when they score against their former clubs unless there is some exceptional reason far beyond football for them not to do so.

Bit weird that he seems so intent on appeasing them when he never even played for them. It's a load of bollocks that they 'had' to sell him anyway, they could've sold Guimaraes, Tonali, Isak or any of their other big players if they wanted to keep him that badly.

Can only guess he was going to do the 'respect' thing then changed his mind, either because he got abuse or because our lads told him to get a grip.

It doesn’t matter if Minteh celebrates goals against Newcastle or not because as he told Radio BBC Sussex:
Everybody wants to prove [wrong] the team that sells them, so I try to do that every time I play against them and I'm happy about it.

But clearly something triggered his reaction and already mentioned presumably something in the away end. He’s going to be such a good player when he learns to channel that inner desire to take on and beat the opposition which currently leads him to sometimes overrun the ball or make a slip. His commitment to Albion is as obvious as it is pleasing. So celebration police back off 😉

Well yes. It's paying the wages of those players that put them so close to the edge on PSR

And on the flip side I found people who got upset with Dan Burn over celebrating his goal against us to be a bit precious.

Put me down as precious, that was an OTT celebration. He has also been a dirty bastard every time he’s played against us too since. f*** him. I was called precious on here for being pissed off when Poyet was touting himself in his last few months too. No surprise he got the sack to me.

Poyet touting himself while still employed by us wasn’t right. Burn being a dirty bastard - give him stick for it. Burn over celebrating his first ever goal for the team he supports - why wouldn’t he?

It’s still a relatively new thing - not celebrating…. Wouldn’t have done it in my day
