What if one of our own did this?

Michael Appleton reacts to controversy over Moses Odubajo 'congratulating' Nottingham Forest ace

The Sheffield Wednesday defender was first on the scene after the striker's goal at The City Ground - but has denied suggestions he was celebrating a goal against his own team

The loss is frustrating for myself and the team. I would never high 5 another player for scoring against us. I said to Grabban no way is that a goal because of the foul and laughed it off thinking the goal wouldn’t stand. 1/3

      This is all a bit backwards, the media are sticking up for him and his manager is criticising him for it

      Looking at the hi lights I don’t think he said much to Grabban at all, his lips hardly moved. All he seemed to do was hi five him and laugh

      I think his explanation is plausible, why would he celebrate a Forest goal anyway?

      If he believes that that goal will be disallowed, then surely he's either spitting feathers at the referee or he's getting the ball to take the free kick in the hope of nicking an equaliser

      I don’t think he was celebrating a Forest team goal, he seemed to be mates with Grabban and appeared pleased with the fact he personally had scored it

      Not seen the goal in question but nothing  wrong in recognising when something is exceptional

      Reminds me of a league cup game against stoke at the valley when one of their players hit a rocket of a shot from just inside the half way line and everybody spontaneously applauded it.

      And, leading on from that, the time at the valley when an opposition player got hit in the nuts from another pile driver and everybody in the ground gave out a loud, audible wince...

      It wasn't exceptional.

      I’d watch the goal then because you are way out. The explanation is bollocks, it was just bizarre to be honest. I wouldn’t be happy if that had been a Charlton player.

      There was nothing exceptional about the goal, you need to watch it.

      This is one of those things that is so bizarre when you watch it that you think surely, surely he's not celebrating?! I mean, who would? This is literally unprecedented.

      But... there's no other good explanation.

      If a Charlton player ever did that, i would never want them to play again for this club. Justifying it because he was mates with him?? Surely you're not serious or am i being whoosed again

      In my opinion, he just pats him on the back, like a ‘respect for the goal mate, get away you baller’.

      We expect footballers to be warriors with partisan tendencies. In reality, especially in this day and age with 2 year contracts, it’s a small community where they’re more aligned to each other than the clubs they play for.

      It's a mentality thing some players just don't give a f**k.However many do ie Jason Pearce. I would be very upset seeing a Charlton player do it.

      If this happened at Charlton  the outrage would go on for generations.

      That isn’t at all how he “justified” it - he said he was laughing & smiling because he thought it was going to be ruled out for a foul.

      That would still be a very weird way to react when you're one down and in Wednesday's position. Even Pulis has called his explanation bullshit.

      Not sure if it was that loon or another one from that era , didn’t they end up supporting the scum ... all very odd from someone who would have been considered hardcore Charlton at the time .

      I went to a Coventry v Chelsea game in the late 1970’s. Butch Wilkins scored a great goal for Chelsea, a thirty yard angled chip over the goalkeeper. A couple of the Coventry players shook his hand on his way back to his own half for the restart.

      Coventry went on to win 5-1.

      The best thing of those highlights is Taylors miss. 😂.

      Was a spur of the moment thing from the Sheff Weds bloke without thinking I suspect but shows a certain mindset.  Assume given Weds have spent money and are rooted to the bottom that they have bought a bunch of mercenaries who don't care about the club.  They will struggle to get out of this.

      It depends who it was. If it was a player I liked I’d say it was no big deal. If it was someone I didn’t like I would demand that they be crucified at half time during the next home game.

      I remember seeing on video a game when players of both teams were kissing, hugging and congratulating the scorer of a goal.............no hold on that was Gregorys Girl!
