Goal!

There are lots of things about football that must confuse non-devotees. How can you cheer a last minute equaliser more than a crushing victory? How can you come home disheartened after an unconvincing win over a poor and unfortunate opponent? How can a goalless game still be entrancing?
But most of all, how do you explain to someone who doesn’t watch the game that even when your team does force the ball into the net, that you may not celebrate instantly because you just feel that something is wrong! You suspect offside, but you’re not sure. And that the best feeling is not the ball crossing the line, but that delayed emotion you sense when the ball hits the back of the net yet you instinctively crane your head around the cheering hordes to spy the linesman, flag down, legging it full pelt back towards the halfway line.
Then, and only then, do you let rip.

fantastic result – watching Pearce run into the fans after Smackhead settled it was one of the highlights of the season.
Certainly Pearce’s antics are among the most entertaining things to see down at the City of Manchester Stadium; although personally I loved the way Fowler ran straight to the away section and celebrated his goal right infront of the United supporters. He nearly sparked a riot, and wasn’t even booked!
To be fair I love Fowler’s celebrations, even though we’re usually on the receiving end. It’s a rare breed.Crazy that he wasn’t booked whilst Robben gets a second yellow for celebrating with his own fans. Reminded me of Cahill’s sending off against you last season for celebrating – ridiculous.Running into the fans is what it’s all about!
