Celebrate good times, come on?

There is a whole series of issues one could debate around the subject of Manchester City 'hardboys': stamping, thumping and abusing being three - particularly interesting subject material too when one considers that Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger and their teams have been the most recipients of the Sky Blue Treatment. One simple observation for older readers of this blog: isn't Hughes the manager exactly the same as Hughes the player was? Hard as nails but rarely lost his cool. Otherwise, there's an interesting issue pertaining to goal celebrations, something I was asked to comment on in a Tweet this afternoon. Should Adebayor and Bellamy have celebrated in the way they should? More specifically, I was asked: should goal celebrations be banned? Are they becoming too provocative and inciting? Could players be linked in some way to health and safey concerns? Could a fan, someone who may have been hurt following such a goal celebration, take legal action against a player who celebrates in a provocative way? Possibly claiming some kind of vicarious liability, or otherwise, on the part of the player? Or is the notion that celebrations might be banned complete lunacy? Surely it is part and parcel of the game? And how would you stop/regulate/monitor/control it? Perhaps there is a middle way? Celebrate, but not too much? How would this work? And can one really imagine a set of procedures or rules for celebrating a goal? May be there would have to be video replays of goal celebrations to decide whether or not a regulation had been breached?
