Did Murray celebrate his goals?

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

No he didnt. Im not complaining about his dive as he did it for us plenty of times. Im more concerned about the "giving the ball away which led up to the dive"

No give ball away means no dive. SIMPLE

Murray certainly gave a wry smile at his team mates for both goals.

 

[Soulman]

He didn't want to leave us. Not unusual he didn't want to compound our misery.

That's it.

Indeed. (Glenn Murray that is. Not Genetic Modification). Wasn't at the game but didn't doubt he wouldn't have celebrated it.

I have nothing but respect for someone who doesn't celebrate for scoring against his old team. He does what he's there to do, but no need to rub it in. He has missed a couple of pens but also scored them for his 2 hat-tricks this season. A few teams change penalty takers If they get more than 1 and we've taken that on now that we get so many.

Is that on the advice of your new coach? I must say young Tom is working wonders for you, well done.

It's ok mate I know you're hurting. Maybe you should get a goalkeeping coach who can tell your lad 'if you dive in you'd better get the ball or you're asking for trouble' or maybe even a defensive coach to help you brush up on the tricky to master 'don't pass the ball to the divisions best striker inside our penalty area' which would also help.

It comes naturally to him - he was SUPERB at it for us. Yet another thing we lost when he went.

Exactly.

 

[BensGrandad]

Our defence is the best in the division when all there but the red card, which was justified, changed all of that. No need to tell the majority of supporters about Dunks reckless tackles as we have seen it many times and I am only surprised that it has happened sooner.

Well it depends on the definition of a dive really. There was contact, he went down. I just wish our players were better at doing that.

Thought he looked a class above yesterday.

Also, what was Greer thinking for the 2nd penalty?!

 

[maltaseagull]

Not really. To be honest, it was more infuriating that he didn't. I want to hate his guts with everything inside me (my guts). But he actually seems like a decent footballer/man. We f***ed up not keeping him.

Given the obvious problem we have with missed chances,I have to agree. He showed class both in the way he scored (great header) and his reaction to scoring.

 

[Hampster Gull]

He didnt run around but he was laughing with the others.

Trust me, you're the one talking shit. I was about 50 yards away from both incidents, whereas (if you were there) you were no where near. Take your tinted specs off.

 

[COYP]

Reason he didn't take the second pen is he's missed some. Holloway said that he had a stomach bug in the morning which is why he was taken off. Personally I'd have liked to see him celebrate but his celebration is just standing there with his hands on his hips so its not really a big deal anyway.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Quite a few clubs are now changing penalty takers if they get a second pen. Man City and Man Utd have done it this season as well as Palace. I guess it gives the penalty taker less to think about. You don't start second guessing yourself deciding whether to put it in the same place or try and go the other way to fool the keeper. Wise move if you ask me.

Indeed, same as last year. And that's despite half our fans giving him abuse at the start of the game.

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Fair play to the boy, conducted himself with dignity and appeared to play down any goal celebrations. Never 'did a Hammond' on us.
