Not really a bug bear for me, it does get the crowd livened up a bit so what’s the problem :shrug:

I don’t think it’s a Brighton thing, a Spurs player was doing it at WHL today.

Pedro waving his arms at the crowd always really winds up the guy that sits to my right at the Amex.

You’d think the players would notice that the atmosphere gets better when they play well though.

Pedro doing it when the team have done nothing inspiring, like halfway through the first half yesterday, is as embarrassing as his histrionics every time he gets a knock. It really wound me up yesterday and I reacted too TBH.

I love seeing his silky play and when he is playing progressively it's a joy to watch but he needs to learn that graft, strength and tenaciousness are what drive the crowd. Especially when he is wearing the captain's armband.

At time, I did think our flamboyant young Brazilan had broken out into an impromptu Birdie Song dance.

Watching the Forest Liverpool match and Murillo just tried to gee the crowd up. My son said it’s always the Brazilian players that try to do this and while I have no idea if that’s correct it does feel like it is.

Bang! And the dirt is gone.
I didn't mind it at all previously, but it's getting on my nerves now. How about they give us something to cheer about. How many times is there a pass on, but instead [insert player name] runs forward with the ball into trouble and loses the ball? It's so ponderous and predictable.

Yup. If we wanted cheerleaders, we'd bring back Gully's Girls
