Guest Craig-NUFC Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Mandzukic against Wolfsburg? Yep. He spent 2 year there and the way he acted was like he had played there from the age of 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 yeah just heard about that, it's more of a poseur thing than actually celebrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have liked Nolan to have celebrated against us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I wouldn't have minded. I have nothing against Nolan, he did well for us and moved on quietly and has never said anything other than nice about us (iirc), I don't see why him celebrating would disrespect us. If he had run up to our fans and taunted of course, but you've scored a goal for your current team I don't see what's wrong with celebrating that. It seems to have become this thing that celebrating is disrespectful to the other team and while sure some are mostly no it's fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Players being (in their opinion) fouled and grab the ball as they go down. I would book them every time, even if they do get the free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The flapping your arms about, almost crying and stopping teammates celebrating that players do when they score against former clubs. What a bizarre thing to be annoyed about. It's nice to see a player show respect in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has kinda already been through the ringer but it all seems a bit fake to me, and I'm not much offended at the thought of players celebrating goals provided it's not a provocative celebration or they were so closely associated with that club that it's genuine.

Cajun Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If Jonas played for someone else he wouldn't be a stand out hate (like Suarez) but one of those I would hate when we played them then quite quickly forget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Aye, he's a nice bloke who plays the game with a smile on his face but he's on his arse constantly. Solano was similar mind, both excellent at buying fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Think Jonas is rather convincing when he draws fouls, at least comparatively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I know it's cliche as fuck but I would say Jonas is a plaery who falls rather than dives. Stevie G style. I cannot imagine him being the kind of player who would full on Andy Carroll dive in the box, and I don't think his actions outside of the box would win him a penalty (if it was in the box of course).

Aye, I feel like a hypocrite because I hate diving but he doesn't really dive (ie go down under no or very little contact) but when someone gives him any physicality he will drop. Not one to roll around like they have been murdered either usually but he definitely could withstand a lot of these challenges and if I was an opposing fan I would be screaming for him to "Get up you fucking fanny!!!".

Interpolic Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Aye, he's just a fairly clever player in that respect - the player's quite often all over him but he's drawn the foul with the way he shapes his body and buys the free kick. Going back to Solano, he was one of the most intelligent players we've ever had playing for us. Apologies for slagging off Obertan but he was the opposite to Obertan in that his football intelligence was off the scale, his reading of the game was fantastic. Loved that spell when he was sort of on his way out and played right-back for us for about half a season, he had a brilliant tendency of committing a cynical foul when the opposition was on the break, making it look like an accident then backing off making that gesture of a ball shape with his hands. Totally knew what he was doing every time and alleviated the pressure expertly without picking up many bookings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The Solano/Obertan comparison is spot on. One quick, tall, strong, the other small, pretty slow and weak which just goes to show how much of a difference the 'football brain' makes. If Obertan had Solano's brain he would basically be Christiano Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Miguel Piñero Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hate everyone in football who uses present tense to talk about past events.
