I see an Ipswich player has received a wrap on the knuckles (deserved perhaps) for celebrating a goal scored in the 2-0 win at Blackpool on Saturday by giving a alleged "handcuffs" gesture in solidarity with a friend of his who has been sentenced to jail for killing a child in a drunk driving accident.
If you look at the clip, it could also just as easily be interpreted as an "X-Factor" gesture, which another (Brentford) footballer has also been seen to make recently.
Knowing Ipswich Town FC as well as I do, I'm trusting that they are a lot more sensible about things than the BBC are when it comes to meting out punishments. Besides all that, why can't footballers just celebrate a goal by acknowledging the congratulations and then going back to the centre spot?
