Anyone getting tired of the Diogo goal celebration? Sort of fine that Darwin did it, but it feels like a lot of players are doing to draw attention to themselves.

We're going to be seeing it all season....
...and I don't mind it.

I’m gonna guess we will see it for everyone’s first goal of the season then go back to normal after that.

Fair. I did enjoy the alligator celebrations today for something different.

Don’t be daft.

Don’t be daft.

Nah I kinda agree. That should be it now.

 

[FreshRed]

Don’t be daft.

I am fine with our players doing it or his close friends, but I am pretty cynical about lots of the others. I can’t remember who at the Club cup did it, but he was laughing while sitting playing FIFA. If you want to celebrate, great, but don’t try to pay honor to Diogo with a huge grin on your face. Just seems wrong and insincere.

Fair enough. I’ve zero cynicism for any player doing it. With or without a grin. Acknowledging the passing of Jota is lovely to see for me. If anything I don’t want to see him forgotten so quickly. I’d happily see players do the celebration forever and a day.

I hadn't seen this. Maybe some others haven't too.

“I Know What I Saw” — One Truck Driver’s Words That Changed How We See Jota’s Last Ride
In a world ruled by statistics, official statements, and instant judgment, the purest truths often come from the unlikeliest voices.
Jose Azevedo wasn’t a journalist. He wasn’t a fan with a camera. Just a truck driver — on his usual route along a dark Spanish road, moments before the tragedy unfolded.
“They passed me very calmly,” he said in his video. “Trust me, they weren’t speeding. They were truly relaxed.”
While Spain’s Civil Guard confirmed Jota was behind the wheel and over the speed limit, Jose gave something the report never could — a human witness, not just a technical one. A man who’s driven that deadly road from Monday to Saturday. Who knows how unforgiving it is, even at legal speeds.
“I know what I saw,” he said quietly. “Sadly, that’s how it ended.”
His words don’t erase the findings. But they offer something deeper: a reminder that not every tragedy needs a villain. Sometimes, fate alone turns a quiet drive into a final journey. And sometimes, a truck driver’s voice is the only one brave enough to speak from the soul.
