[Football] When did it become a ‘thing’ not to celebrate.

When did it become a ‘thing’ not to celebrate against your old club. Watching some old Premier League Highlights and Robbie Fowler sticks one away for City against Liverpool, he turns away and goes wild with a big smile on his face, non of this faux I’m sorry for scoring bullshit.

In the good old days it was quite common for somewhat understated celebrations....often just a few handshakes and pats on the back then jog back to the re-start. Now it seems even the lowliest goal in even the most meaning less matches requires a steaming run to a corner flag with fist pumping, shirt waving, badge kissing and gurning.

Ironically, the 70's with violence on the terraces and thugs playing (Hunter, Dray, Bham and Pompey teams), was the decade when players started kissing and rolling around with each other in celebrating goals.
