Ugly Mackems 134 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Not one Toon player offered him their hand in congratulations. Seems strange at that stage of the game that everyone turned their backs on him after he gave us a lifeline. Perhaps his colleagues have had it up to here (taps himself on the top of his head) with him also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Wasn't he in The Express saying he'd beat Shearer and Milburn's scoring records combined next season, all whilst playing as rush goalie, before flying into space to destroy an asteroid threatening impending doom on mankind with his bare hands?

kojak 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 whilst shola was off dancing round the corner flag like he'd just scored the winner in the cup final, his team mates were quite rightly getting back to the half way line ready to carry on getting themselves out of the mess that their previous forty minutes worth of effort (or lack of) had got them in. nothing too shocking in it as far as I'm concerned. we were still a goal behind and there was a game to be getting on with.

Renton 22004 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The reaction to the goal around me was delayed because we all assumed he was offside, as usual. Has there been a falling out in the dressing room then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I did think it a bit odd that not one player went over to him, especially as he was celebrating loads.. I doubt there's anything in it though, they probably just wanted to keep the game moving while we had a bit of momentum then congratulate him at half time.

I was just saying that as far as I was concerned I dont see the fact that none of his team mates celebrated with him to be much of an issue. Perhaps they just wanted to get on with the rest of the game, we weren't playing very well and still losing after all. Sometimes we can be too quick to read something sinister in something totally harmless. Of couse his team mates may well think he's a talentless third rate footballer.

Optimistic Nut 190 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Arsenal away 2001-2 season. Shearer put us 2-1 up, only Dyer went to him, Robert made it 3, the whole team celebrated. You telling me that was because Robert was more popular than Shearer? No chance. Storm in a teacup tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caz 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Glad i wasnt the only one who noticed this. After jumping up and down celebrating myself watching Shola run past to the corner, i then thought. . . no other player was celebrating . . . odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 my initial feeling was that Shola's first reaction was angry....a 'there ya go, thats what i can do' at the fans. Then he went on to celebrate normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
