Last night for example Troisi (I think) scored the winner & runs off to celebrate as if he is the greatest soccer player ever. FFS what about the work of Juric (I think) to get the ball there, all Troisi did was tap it in. See it all to often in soccer.

Brilliant post. Could not agree more. A glorified tap in after a bloke did all the hard work with creativity, flair and determination.

At the risk of being destroyed for saying a bad word about Tim who has been a great servant to our country I find his self indulgent, selfish, ignominious, repetitive solo flag celebration one of the dumbest things in sport. I have seen him swat away, ignore and call off team mates in the process and I find it reprehensible.

Remember when Mark Williams from Hawthorn did the shotgun celebration. It lasted exactly one game before receiving league wide condemnation. Imagine if Tex snubbed his team mates and went into some type of chromosome missing boxing match with the goal padding

was chattin about this last night over a few bevvies

Timmy loves the glory of his solo celebration when he scores, but when someone else scores he is all over them, like he wants to take some of the glory!

The bloke has been unbelievable for Australian soccer but from many things I have seen, heard and read he is not the best bloke in the world and that is very much understating it.

James Brayshaw is also a fan of his own work too.

He is a manlet, which really dents his rating.

What's a manlet?

A vertically challenged man (ie. anyone under 6ft )

Ahh, I get it now.

Tim Cahill is pretty good, but those 'boxing' goal celebrations give me the shits. If he tried that on the street, he'd no doubt end up on his arse.

Probably a huge part of the reason why people so many hate it.

Aussie rules is the best game in the world

Agree with the first part.
Plus with the Cricket WC im pretty sure AO was unable to be used.
Soccer craps all over Aussie rules as a sport though

Soccer isn't a sport it is mere recreational pursuit perfect for women to play....

Things that give me the shits? People who think soccer is a sport.

According to Ambays soccer is not a sport

I personally don't like over the top celebrating in any sport, including when batsmen make a 100.

getting in the car last night after it's been in the sun all day and the electric windows and the air con doesn't work (not even the air can be put on)... Radio works fine. Should be a good drive home tonight

Boxing the corner flag is part of the theatre that makes the sport great?

Therein, Jim, lies the problem with soccer, if some fool pretending to punch the corner flag is not only part of the game but adds to it, then something is not right.

Also, why do soccer players always have to be touching each others faces? Whether it be happy with winning, sad with losing or bemoaning a "challenge" during play, they are always cupping* each others faces. It's semi- homo-erotic and most of the time looks well out of order. I know my mates wouldn't be up for me cupping* their cheeks after a good catch at slip.
