Class Is Permanent

It's called adrenaline, Hound. A rare component in footballers nowadays and obviously much maligned by some, as shown in this thread.

I still have it BB.
Even at my age I still get a buzz from putting the ball in the net, especially in important games.

Yeah but will you still have it when you're 38, like Billy Sharp?

LoL.

Billy’s always been one to really celebrate his goals, no matter who he’s playing against. Remember him going ape after he’d scored forus against Scunny early on in his career for us.
The Scunny fans didn’t like it at all.
Too bloke.

Yes , and that excuse for a Keeper Murphy getting ball out of net and volleying it at BS

For once the Lino did something right and Murphy got a Yellow

We could do with a bit more of that passion and aggression in the team, other than Olowu and young Jay we have a soft underbelly, I’d love to see a few more Misters added to the team in January !

[i_ateallthepies]

Bit classless when he went over to their fans and gave a bit after he scored.

I don’t agree.

They booed his every touch and pelters all match.

I’m glad he got the opportunity to give back what he received 

The man has played in the premier league. Giving it large for scoring against a part time team is pathetic.

Well if anyone is familiar with the definition of ‘pathetic’ it would be you.

And this comment trumps that.  You really are a bitter individual.

[Michael Shaw]

When you keep being booed by the opposing fans as much as Billy was, it's only natural to give it back when you score.
I'm on Billy's side.
What an amazing signing he is for any league two side. It's better that he is playing for us and not against us.

I have to disagree as I thought ‘Big Tom’ had a good game (apart from failing to block their goal) given the amount of time he’d been out.

[Ian Nimmo]

It’s madness when we are having a go at one of our players for a goal celebration, in front of fans who were booing said player through game. I am also sure there will have been some comments made Billy’s way when near to the opposing fans.

[belton rover]

I think it’s fantastic that a player like Billy still feels the passion to celebrate scoring a goal. He doesn’t need to play for us. He doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone. He just wants to keep playing football. In that moment, when he scored the winner against a non league club, for a league two club in the second round of the FA Cup, it probably meant as much to him as any goal he scored for Sheff Utd in the Premier League.
He’s a 38 year old man with the same passion and love for the game as a 13 year old kid Dreaming of scoring in a cup final at Wembley.
The game needs more Billy Sharps.

I disagree as well. Bailey is a grafter. Senior, Nixon and Clifton when they play are all aggressive players. Don’t forget Ironside. I think our issue is the lack of real quality in the middle of the park as opposed to being soft.

[coventryrover]

If supporters boo a player.l, they have every right to give it back.   Scoring a goal is one of those.

[Janso]

Yes, he does. He celebrated a goal he scored for Southampton against Rovers back in the early 2010's. 

I'm still proud to have him as a Rovers player.

In fact 'proud' is an understatement.

If I recall rightly, he didn't celebrate his first, but he did his second.

Personally I wish there were more players of Billy's attitude, he's still passionate about the game, even though he's played in the Premiership, still loves scoring goals, & giving it to fans who give him verbal. Any proffesional player who doesn't feel that way should wrap it up & go non- league for me. Well done Billy Sharp.

[andysly]

Do we really think if we’d ran say Aston Villa close in a cup match, Ollie Watkins wouldn’t have “given it large” in front of the South stand
Billy did f all wrong

[Lesonthewest]

If you're a professional footballer you're doing what every schoolboy dreams of, you're paid very handsomely for what you do, and your job as a forward is to score. If after that you've got such a small man complex you then have to give it the big one infront of opposition fans then it say more about that person. Oh diddums they called you some names. Boohoo

As the great Mario Balotelli once said "I don't celebrate because it's my job, a postman doesn't celebrate when he delivers a letter"  or words to that effect, legend haha

You call me names, I'll score a couple of goals & show you how I can still do it at 38 while keeping myself supremely fit. Well done Billy, I'd be exactly the same.

This guy was also running around for nearly 2 hours as much as anyone on the pitch!!

[Usher wide.]

C’mon, Billy Sharp is the biggest ‘villain’ Kettering will see in any pantomime this year!

He knows how to give ‘his audience’ value for money!

Uh-oh… Gaz has spoken. Let it be so.
