Do you kiss your wrists?

[Arcadius]

Kissing wrists, signing the cross, fingers and eyes to the sky! What the hell is going on? Are footballers members of some secret religious sect?

 

[wwfc9]

I do always tap the top of the ceiling as i walk out of the concourse for some unknown reason !! Don’t do **** all i know that

 

[MasWolf]

Portuguese and Spanish people tend to be quite religious, I think that's why.

 

[oldgoldheart]

Always use the same turnstile

 

[wwfc9]

Always use the same turnstile

Yeah do that one too !! Need to change it

 

[Wolowolf6]

Touch the ground, kiss both wrists, point to the sky mouthing a loved one’s name.

Doesn’t everyone do that before they send their first work email in the morning?

I used to coach a young lad and he went to school with my boys, Anglo Saxon background, coached him from U8 to U/16.... always a bit of a show pony Striker, used to take his shirt off when he scored that type of thing.
He joined another team of Italian heritage to play U/18's and seniors and last time I saw him play he does the whole, touch the ground, cross himself , kiss the wrists and points to the sky when he scores.....
I said to my lad who was also watching " WTF?"

If I make it into work before 9am I'm partial to slide on my knees. Klinsmann - style dive reserved for when someone finally appoints me a P.A.

Freemasons ?

 

[Tired&Emotional]

Just like Paul Ince, I only put my shirt on at the last minute as I walk in the door at work.

Apparently, as I work in a school, this is an "issue".

It's Political Correctness gone mad!

 

[Krispy Kreme]

In a world where you're on millions and there are kids starving I suppose it must be some comfort believing it is divine purpose.

Anglo Saxon background? Was he a basket weaver or blacksmith?

Absolutely I do, before and after each time I get jiggy! (which nowadays at my age is about 4 times a year!)

when something goes well at work, I tend to do a shearer one hand in air celeb round the room.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Someone is going to tell me that mooning at the boss by way of a greeting isn't allowed anymore. The world's gone mad.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

The average footballer is a sheep and they copy what their peers do. I bet half of them don’t see the inside of a place of worship outside of weddings etc.

It’s not the most annoying thing in football though. That’s reserved for players in short sleeves and gloves. That’s up there with a neck tattoo as the sign of a moron.

 

[Golden Arrow]

My Dad was a bit of a wag, and when Mum would bend over to get something out of the fridge, he would softly kick her up the back side and shout "One nil" !!
Thankfully Mum took it in good heart which I have to say was good for Dad, otherwise he'd have be on the receiving end of a bottle of pasterurised or lump of cheddar !

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I swear the kissing the wrist, crossing themselves, pointing to the sky etc. is all just a show and they think it looks cool for at least 1/3 that do it, because they see other big name stars do it. Almost like the Mbappe arms crossed thing everyone does.

I can’t remember which former player we had, used to post some pretty gangster type stuff and post songs with fairly expletive and some would say unsavory content, then would post loads of stuff about god is great and almighty, he sees everything we do, and judges all etc.

Odd.

 

[dewolfman]

seeing moutinho do it at his age is a bit cringe.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Just my opinion, but it irritates me when I see players kissing the club badge on their shirt after scoring a goal. Such loyalty would of course not be affected should another club offer the player a higher wage. Or am I just being cynical in my old age.

That does provide an image though of where your boss parks their bike

I remember his posts can't remember his name, was it that lad who went to the vile.

I found that it was lucky charm if I said a prayer and closed my eyes tightly before any landing of the aircraft.

Doesn’t half upset the passengers though

Fair play to his family, avoiding mixing with those Danes, Jutes, Normans, Welsh, Scots, Picts and other dubious foreigners over the years. Quite a feat!

 

[wwbug]

I think Catholics do the cross , born again Protestants point to the Sky . Kissing the wrist is often a tattoo of a loved person or thing.
The Muslins do something , I think that's another sky pointer.

Moutinho does all the above lol

Oh and I pinch myself .. Lucky us .

I like the term "sky pointer", perhaps as an alternative to "god botherer".

 

[stever]

Do people do the same when they cross the work door threshold? Footballers are sad ****ers at times

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

What's this Podence bird flapping thingy all about?

Many workers do look at their wrists . Or is it their watch ?

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Read a piece the other week about a kid scoring a goal and emotionally pointing skyward. A few asked his father who had died and he said ''**** knows, all our family are alive and well''.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Moutinho does all the above lol

He also does that irritating crap dead ball situation thing several times a game.

 

[Chriswwfc]

The answer to this question should be:

No, I am not a ****.

I do the cross..since I have understood that I will never be capable of figuring out who come first..the chicken or the egg.
I do it in a protestantic kinda way though..

 

[Flea]

Why the **** do they raise their hands before a corner?
Are they waiving to one another or what is it all about.
They never did that in the 70´s or 80´s..and they still managed to produce better corner kicks than Mouts!

 

[xbomber]

I do, but to be fair (and not wishing to blow my own trumpet) my wrist is really attractive. I'm talking a solid 8 out of 10.

Of course if I really could blow my own trumpet I'd need my wrist less.

Classic devil workshipping sign

Oi. Don’t bring the Welsh into your list.
