I'm just reading the caf and can't stop laughing at this picture: hahahahah! I'm sure we've all noticed how Rio goes absolutely mental when we score. No matter where he is on the pitch when we score, be it the corner flag on the far side of our half or next to VDS, Rio will run the whole length of the pitch, accost his victim (the goalscorer) and start screaming at him...in jubilation. In exhibit A seen above, Rio looks like he's about to pop poor Wayne's head off his shoulders. In Exhibit B: He's attempting to break Ronaldo's neck! With an improvised 'stage dive' atop...2 people? hahah In Exhibit C: We see VIDIC apprehended as if he's been sleeping with Rio's girl.. note the clenched fist of the victims in both Exhibits A & C. I still can't stop laughing at the first picture. Rio is 6'3, Wayne is 5'10. In that picture Wayne is about 6'4 via the hyperextension of his neck forced on him by a jubliant team-mate? Hahahahahaha Anyway, this thread's a little different from the one on the caf in that I'm requesting as many picture of Rio accosting others after we've scored as possible. Also, can we try and update it with future goal celebrations from now till the end of the season? If I had an avatar I'd slap exhibit A right in there! ^__^
I've also noticed Rio is always rough with one of his teammates when the go down with a knock...he usually gives them a slap or a kick to the head while they're down.
Hahah! Excellent! Just wait! One day Park or Evra will score a great goal and Rio will suplex them in delight! PS: I still can't stop laughing at the Exhibit A pic! That's made my day, the sad man that I am!
Park's about to get slapped Rooney just has been (a little poetic license required) Lets go fcuking mental, lets go fcuking mental, na na na na
Great thread! IMO Rio should be United's next captain. Gaz Nev is the right choice now, but in a couple of years Rio should take that over. He does seem the player who enjoys our goals most, or at least shows it the most. The goals he celebrates least are the ones he scores himself!
I thought about this when we scored in the last match because I couldn't believe how fast Rio got to Rooney. Rio's got incredible pace.
I'm guessing they're just stalking their pray; it is Vidic, afterall. All we can do is hope Saha continues to dodge Rio after scoring, that'd be him out for the guts of a year again.
Wasn't that part of the rocket launcher celebration? Crouching and approaching target before obliteration???
