Put yourself in his shoes. Imagine playing against The Albion and scoring, I know I wouldn't celebrate.
This.He's asking not to be selected with that attitude.
Oh my god get over yourselves. He was MOM against them at the AMEX, by a long way. He certainly didn't hold back from giving one of his best performances. If I scored against Brighton I wouldn't celebrate, in fact if I was a good enough player I'm not sure I could even play against them. Truth be told I've got more respect for him now he said this than before. He loves his club as much as we all love Brighton, get your heads out your backsides and ask yourself what you would do.
Maybe I'm being harsh, he played really well against them at the Amex and hit the bar (I think it was him) so didn't show any signs of easing off or anything then.
That was exactly my point. If I was playing against Brighton then I wouldn't want to play well, and I certainly wouldn't try and score! Therefore it's better I didn't play against them.
It's an understandable feeling, but why go public with it? Surely it can only be seen negatively in Poyet's eyes?
This.

Reminds me of the time Andrew Whing got a bit over-excited at the prospect of playing against 'boyhood heroes' Aston Villa. In the end he got left out of the side.
Add to that with the fact that he was f***ing SHIT, and you may be getting more accurate.
If Buckley is fit then he will start. Noone or Lua Lua will be on the bench.
As long as the goal wasn't just a pointless consolation after we've been givien a good hiding, I'd wager if Noone scored at Anfield sending 6,000 fans absolutely nuts, he'd get caught up in the moment and celebrate alright. Scoring at Anfield would be the pinnacle of his career so far, I find it hard to believe if he popped a late winner in, or an equaliser, he'd just turn round and walk back to our half.
