I think too much gets made of it either way. Watching those highlights against Marlow and Aylesbury again, it's clear that none of our players even back then really made a big deal of celebrating goals against an amateur side, especially after the first couple had gone in. A quick smile or shake of the fist was all they'd show. Ultimately, fans pay to see goals (and ideally, plenty of effort between them); I'm not sure why it matters what they do once the goals are scored, as long as it doesn't bring the club into disrepute. If celebrations and badge-kissing are more important than what happens during the match, then Paul Robinson must be Albion's greatest ever player. Oh, hang on...
Show some passion when the whistle blows and I'm a happy man. Beyond that, it's the players' choice what they do or don't do.
