Jesic goal celebration

[scottmac]

What did Abebeyor get for celebrating in front of the away Arsenal fans, and should Jesic get anything similar for his stupidity last night after the second goal.

IMO this needs to be dealt with harshly especially with an FFA cup on the horizon. The last thing we need is someone like this celebrating a goal in front of opposing fans at say a Sydney United v Sydney FC or Victory v Melbourne Knights game.

I think this deserves a massive suspended fine for both player and club with the overiding message for the league being this is not ok. Somewhere in the vicinity of 10,000 for the player and times it by 2 for the club, suspended until second offence.

Opinions?

I didn't see any problem with it.

I didn't see last night, being one of the poor who can't afford Foxtel, but I remember Bridge carrying on in front of us after he scored in the Grand Final a couple of years ago. I thought at the time how stupid it was, only needing one hot-head (yes, I'm sure even Mariners supporters can be like that at times )to throw something and all hell would've broken loose.
I also noticed some water bottles on the paddock near the Cove on Saturday after our second (I think) goal, so stirring up the opposition supporters can be dangerous, and should be strongly discouraged.

Haven't watched the replay yet. What did I miss.

Matt Simon celebrated in front of the cove, who threw bottles at him. I thought it was good and added to the atmosphere, particularly it being a derby.

Don't be daft! Settle petal.

He just ran to the sideline, looked for Jets fans and then moved on to them. The Security guard looked like he was going to have a fit - would have been interesting if he'd man-handled him!
Lol there were only 2,754 fans there anyway .. what was going to happen?

He didn't run to the sideline at all. He ran straight for the home bay, even jumped the advertising to get there then stood there doing that weirdo celebration.

The fact that there was only 2754 fans there has nothing to do with it. Its the what ifs that need to be worried about. One good shot from a fan with a missile/water bottle and we are front/back page news with hooliganisim articles and negative press. Just what we need right now?

TBF I'd settle for any press for the A-League right now.

According to the laws of the game, jumping the advertising boarding to approach the fence is a mandatory caution.

I haven't seen that happen yet

If there's a problem with what he did, the referee can card him. If the referee hasn't done that, then I see no reason for the FFA to intervene. Don't forget we've had players do the same thing in the past as well.

If the taunting is over the top, they'll get booked. If it doesn't cross that line, then let them. I don't like it myself, but I don't think it needs intervention.
