Robbie Keane still does cartwheel celebration

darkman2

Am I the only one that thinks Roobie Keane should stop doing that cartwheel celebration? He did it today against Newcastle. I guess some think it's an ok celebration and IMO it was. But Keane is no spring chicken and it just looks a bit weird to see a player Keane's age doing cartwheels. When you think of all the players that do mad backflips and all now you can only giggle at Robbie Keane's roll:D

ASOT

He can do what he wants.

Who cares?

Keeps him nimble , Training consists of 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening .

Not a spring chicken?
Are you scared he will slip a disc or damage a hip?
I think fair play, he is still banging them in. Long may it continue.

Ha ha, Roobie :pac:

I hope he'll be doing many more cartwheels in an Ireland jersey..

The fascination with Robbie Keane's cartwheels continues...

Robbie still has quality, and is still and excellent goal scorer / finisher.

If he wants to do carwheel's when he's 60, he's fully entitled to!

ASOT

Doing cartwheels for all his boyhood clubs.

I love Robbies celebration!!!

LostBoy101

Nice to see Keano banging in the goals and lets hope he can produce some at the Euros.

GLaDOS

Some people will do anything to criticise the man. Haters gonna hate.

decisions

As long as he scores in an Ireland shirt come the Euro's he can do whatever the fúck he likes as for as I'm concerned.

ctrl-alt-delete

When he is not scoring goals people question his quality, when he is scoring goals people question his celebration, when he scores and doesn't celebrate people question which boyhood team he scored against.

The guy is a legend, he can do whatever he wants for me, How I'd love to see a cartwheel or two from him this Summer.

Thinking of Keane cartwheeling reminds me of this

bobmalooka

Mick McCarthy's reaction was better;)

It's when he starts doing cartwheels when he doesn't score that you should worry.

Glad to see so many people go against the OP

It looks brutal.

EdenHazard

The haters of RK need to get lost especially Irish ones. He's one of the best strikers the premiership has seen and is one of the best players ireland has produced.

People are gonna call me out on the first point but he is, he had two unreal spells, with coventry and his form which saw Liverpool sign him so he's easily up there.

Raskolnikov

Some people will look into anything Robbie does to use it as a stick to beat him with. I remember one international match thread were a few folks were up in arms (excuse the pun) because he tried to claim a penalty (legitimately as well!). Apparently his protests didn't show enough class.

It doesn't matter of the celebration is naff; we're Irish, we're never going to be cool.

Rivaldo also scored against Kahn in that WC. I had a great sense of pride when George Hamilton said after the final that the only players to score against Kahn in the WC were the three R's - Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Robbie Keane.

In relation to the cartwheel, he does that after he scores his first goal for a club. He scored two versus wolves that he would not celebrate as they were a club he holds affection for. You won't see it again this season if it makes you feel better OP

In the first half today he was phenomenal, an extremely clever, classy player when on form. Delighted to see him play when he plays like that. Cartwheel away Robbie, cartwheel away.

Rivaldo didn't score against Kahn in 2002, Ronaldo got both goals in the final and that was the only time in that WC that they played each other...

Speak for yourself there, I know I'm cool. I do a cartwheel every time Robbie scores.

thudd

I stand corrected, it was 2 Ronnie goals.

The cartwheel logic still stands though!

Would you prefer that he celebrated in a more toned down manner . .

If we see him scoring goals at the Euros, nobody is going to care how he celebrates. He'll probably get his own statue if he bangs them in during the Summer, which is a huge if admittedly. They'd probably carve it mid wheel just to feck off all the people who would complain about it.

LuckyLloyd

Been brilliant for Aston Villa the last couple of weeks. So many who said he was finished at Premiership level. What an absolute legend he is.

Pro. F

The cartwheels are cool. The fact that he's not the most agile, but still churns out the simple but effective goal celebration makes it all the cooler.

Plus cartwheels are fun. Turn a few of them yourself next time your down the park and you won't be so up tight about the little things anymore.

Keep it up Robbie!

I remember a friend on mines ma did a cartwheel in her 40's (could have even been 50), we said we'd donate €50 each to charity if she did it, which she did, which we had to pay up on. Robbie ain't too old to be doing cartwheels.

Was she a midget? I'd pay to see a 50 year old midget doing a cartwheel don't know about a regular 50 year old though

Ridiculous OP.

WoollyRedHat

Oi, my Granny still does cartwheels! Does it every time after mass she does!

cantgetright

In fairness its a half arsed cartwheel. Think he should of put an end to it long time ago. Good player though.

It's all grand until he lands on his head and misses the Euro's, reckon we'd see a drastic shift in opinions if something like that were to happen :pac:
