Celebrating a goal by sliding on knees.

[Dark Munster]

 

Am I the only one who winces when this happens? If I were the coach I'd have a quiet word. I'd even accept something naff like Sturridge's celebrations.

[Pilchards]

If he scores goals then I don't care if he gets his todger out!

 

I like goal celebrations that become trademark for players. Some make themselves look like ******s while others like Papa Waigo are funny.

[whelk]

The pitches are better than Mansel Park so I would worry unduly as unlikely slide onto a needle.

[paulwantsapint]

Think club should get Mick Channon in to coach how to windmill

[Toomer]

Has anyone injured their knees doing it, if not it's only a matter of time.

[SO16_Saint]

He's one spongy surface away from an ACL and 12 months out - as well as face planting in to the pitch

[Saint Billy]

Gabby needs to point to where he is going to do his celebration and a member of staff throws on a couple of greased up trays.

It was the hugging the saints fans after the knee slide against Watford that made me smile

 

 

there are grown men in there offering to have Gabbi's babies.... actually looking at Cedric he seems to be enjoying that position a bit to much

I seem to remember something about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer damaged his medial ligaments after sliding on hus knees during the '98/'99 champions league final. It may not have been directly responsible for his knee injuries that followed, but to me, it seems a little more than coincidence

The clubs are so hot on detail these days, I'm pretty sure if there was any real reason to be concerned it would've been stopped.

Although I obviously think it's bullish!t booking players for celebrations, I thought how lucky he was not getting a 2nd yellow for going right into the fans on Saturday as most refs will give them.

Haha love that

If he's not already been booked it would certainly have been a card I don't think many referees who realised a player was on a booking would produce the card in these circumstances as it makes them look totally stupid!

Sandro injured his knee while doing a sliding celebration in a QPR training session...

A few weeks ago, Niang, the Watford player did much the same when he scored against Burnley, having been booked earlier. MOTD pointed out that he could have been sent off then.

 

A rare example of referees' consistency.

I think he may have been lucky, if you listen straight after the goal the ref gives three or four quick blasts on his whistle (I thought he'd disallowed it!) because the Watford players looked like they were about to rush the linesman to complain, so I think he was distracted keeping them in order.

Yeah but Sandro's knee are made of jelly. Haha

Some clubs are hotter on fitness details than others it seems (Leicester come to mind). I wonder how many of them do knee slide celebrations?

 

We're often near the top (in a bad way) of the injury table http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

 

If I remember correctly, Austin did the risky knee slide at the beginning, but cut it out. Hopefully Gabbi will find some other celebration. Although taking his todger out may result in more than a yellow.

Right, so you're suggesting that out of all the highly qualified medical professionals at the club, none of them have noticed and considered this?

 

I'm sure it's fine, if it wasn't they wouldn't let him do it, end of story.

He's new, let's see if he is allowed to continue to do it. Even if it's a 1% chance of injuring a knee, is it worth it?

[OttawaSaint]

Yeah never like it when I see a player do that. Not worth the injury risk (even if it is minimal).

I'm not really after them being consistently wrong, tbh.
