Ipswich Goal Celebration - front of the Daily Mirror

[RM-Taylor]

Reading the Daily Mirror at college during spare time, this was on the front page.

The mum of two young boys killed by a drunken soccer star last night branded David Norris’s sick goal celebration an “insult” to their memory.

Amanda Peak spoke of her anger over the arrogant Ipswich midfielder’s show of solidarity with jailed goalie Luke McCormick by making a handcuffed wrists sign

And she demanded club officials axe the 26-year-old player for his appalling gesture that was witnessed by nearly 8,000 stunned fans.

Now to be honest, I don't really understand what she's moaning at, is it not right for Luke McCormack to actually have friends, or because of what he did, are they all meant to disown him? Just for a player to score a goal, and then say 'Hey mate, that's for you, we're all thinking about you', what's wrong with that.

Silly woman

Why doesn't he just say that?

Disagree with you VERY strongly. If that was the thinking behind his clebration, then he is a complete COCK.

 

[7:18]

the point is that the player can support his teammate without going too far, shocking the crowd and bringing negative attention to the situation.

 

[Mendoza]

he looks like he is doing "the X" they do on X factor

 

[Elder for England]

It's not exactly the most sensible thing to do is it. If he wants to support his friend do it privately, go visit him, but to do that is quite disrespectful.

 

[Nottseagull]

Maybe he was mocking McCormick

Am I missing something? Norris plays for Ipswich. Didn't McCormick play for Plymouth? Did they used to play for the same club at some time? Or is this poor woman adding 2+2 to get 58?

 

[Djmiles]

Bit inappropriate thing to do now isn't it. Why even do it? It's not like the lad in jail is even going to be watching it

Put yourself in the woman's shoes, I bet you wouldn't be too happy.

Makes interesting reading in retrospect

Yes.

According to the reports it was Norris' wedding he got pissed at.

Norris joined Ipswich from Plymouth last season

 

[Mellotron]

Stupid thing to do.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Footballers are thick.

Doing that as part of a goal celebration is 100% inappropriate though, and a pretty stupid thing to do.

Totally disagree. It was a brainless, childish, insensitive and completely unnecessary gesture.

Of course McCormick's mates don't have to disown him but to glorify him by stupid public gestures is simply wrong. He got what he deserved, that woman didn't.

Think I read some where that the the wedding the guy was travelling back from when the crash happened was the Ipswich fellas.

Pretty insensitive IMO.

 

[Mendoza]

Yakubu is a wanker for doing it too

and as for Cahill

 

[Easy 10]

If that is indeed a handcuff sign he's making for McCormick, then he a complete and utter NOBBER with a dried up turd where his brain should be.

Idiot Brett. The YAK is doing PAPILLION, not HANDCUFFS.

edit; Cahills WAS for his brother, who had just been sent down, wasn't it?
