I always remember Graham Sharp critise Tony cottee because he scored in a game that we didn't win and he was smiling away to the media, and Sharp said its not about keeping your scoring run going it's about the team wining, we didn't win, no one is arsed about you scoring.

Barry needs to take note before he goes all over social media with his back patting and ego.

Yes he scored but the 1st half he was dreadful as he has been for most of this season.
We didn't lose though and at the point he celebrated the goal it may have been the catalyst for us to get three points. People are just looking for excuses to moan. I remember Ferguson celebrating that amazing header against Arsenal with a fist pump when we were 3-1 down. Celebrating the achievement of personal goals is completely fine.
 
Celebrate an equaliser, with a raised arm as you trot back ready for kick off. Celebrate a winner with a firm handshake to the assist and a nod to the crowd.

Anything else is gross showboating and probably came from the US ... look where that's got them.
 
The lad rescued us from what would have been a horrendous, humiliating defeat and people are slating him for celebrating? That is so f*cked up, it really is. There were lots of things to get narked about from yesterday, but this kid celebrating scoring a goal shouldn’t be one of them?
 
Some people would say I am the worst striker! So I say, 'Okay, me? I am the worst striker?', that is why I [point to myself] after I score!

"You know, I like this. I like to prove the critics wrong about me. For me, I don't care – I like it when someone talks about me!"


Just issued a huge sniff it to all the Everton da’s
 
I am against retiring numbers full stop as I think it is over sentimental. And for god's sake stop slating Barry for celebrating his goal, it took us from 0 points to 1 point. 4 goals in 5 games and people are still slating him for not playing well.
