The So Called Non Celebration

This season it seems like every week there's a so called 'non celebration'. It's become a football fashion, a kind of fad. Like The rocking baby celebration when a player recently becomes a father (Gareth Bale has done both of these celebrations over the last few weeks).

The thing that I don't like about the non celebration is that the player isn't so much as doing it out of respect for his former club and supporters but to make himself seem like such a decent kind of bloke in front of the cameras. It just comes across so false.

Okay so I don't expect a player to run the length of the pitch and slide on his knees right in front of the fans that used to sing his name, like how Emmanuel Adebayor did when he scored against arsenal a few seasons back.
But don't score a goal and give a look like someone just pissed in your cornflakes.
How about some middle ground. Like an understated raised hand and an acknowledgment to the team mate who assisted the goal.
