Jetta Celebration: Bit silly?

[Foggle]

Hey just wanted peoples thoughts on Lewis Jetta's celebration in West Coast's demolition job on Sydney.

I don't generally mind players sticking it to the crowd, take Michael O'Loughlin in 2006 giving it to KFC guy. That was hilarious.

However it just seemed out of place today, due to the fact that his team was getting smashed with no hope of a comeback. The O'loughlin goal justified the celebration, as it was the winning goal in a tight final against a bitter rival. The celebration here just seemed a bit contrived and forced, like he was trying to copy his friend who is too holy for discussion on a mere football forum (he is not to be mentioned in this thread). The spear throwing looked a bit sad too, that just eggs the crowd on to keep booing and does nothing except reinforce some unfortunate mentalities (which will not be discussed in this thread as it is banned on the main board).

I'm not offended by the celebration. I just think it looks a bit silly to do it when your team is getting embarrassed.

A penny for your thoughts please.

Its a ****ing celebration, why are we bringing down those try to do something creative with it.

FWIW it was much better than Goodes, got to the spear throw much quicker.

He just looked like a bit of a tit when his team is that far behind.

Good on him. Sticking up for his mate that has been misunderstood imo. Giving it back to the bogan supporters who keep booing Goodes..

 

[master bate]

Was a protest not a celebration. Say what you like about people booing Goodes for whatever reason there's no reason why Jetta can't protest back.

 

[Borderline]

Sod him, should've looked at the scoreboard.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Goodesy did it better.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Was good, he was sticking up for his teammate, good on him.

People lament the state of the game with one breath but then also move to destroy or tear down any personal display of fire or passion. I don't want soccer celebrations after every single goal but it was refreshing to see someone give a shit.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Was basically laughed at by the crowd, nobody really gave a shit. Looked a bit of a goose, like that other guy who did it, but no harm done.

A sign of the Goodes saga getting to the Swans.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

when goodes did it he had already had about a billion douchebag points built up before so of course people were gonna hate it.

but jetta hasn't ruffled any feathers so people will forget about it. I like that he's sticking up for his mate but in all likelihood he's probably just made the booing worse.

 

[The_Reaper]

Don't have a problem with it to be honest.

 

[Defacto]

geeze supporters are soft and whinny these days

 

[Sprout]

I like turtles #inb4lock

 

[Suma Magic]

Was just sticking up for his mate getting booed.

I think it's fine.

 

[Altum Volantes]

I thought it was a win that Jetta obviously let the booing get to him...was kinda the point.

 

[TiggerMan22]

No, the booing is silly. Poeple need to gtf over it already. Theres dozens of players in the comp that are more annoying/cheats/arrogant (whatever the excuses is these days)
Jetta has to play alongside his mate get booed every week, every touch he gets.
The 'supporters' should stop being such childish douche bags.

 

[Maddo11]

Anyone that thinks that Jetta was only celebrating a goal must have been watching the game on mute.
Was clearly sticking up for Goodes. Good on him .

 

[PenAndPaper]

Was a protest not a celebration. Say what you like about people booing Goodes for whatever reason there's no reason why Jetta can't protest back.

Hopefully he is booed now too

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I love a bit of theatre.

 

[underthestars]

more booing, more spear throwing, more in your faces, more hugging, more player-fan interaction!

 

[james brayshaw]

Its a pretty shit dance, he looked like an idiot.

Gary's Caros Arrow is very underrated
