What was Gbandi Doing?

I recall Gbandi saying its 1 part of a 5 part celebration.

He said it would make sense when after we see all 5 parts.

And considering Chris scores about every other year, I guess we'll have to be pretty patient.

 

I just thought he was motioning how he wasn't even looking when he took the shot?

 

In Liberia waving your hand in front of your face is a common gesture meaning, "I just kicked the CRAP out of that MF'ing ball, bitches".

 

Looks like my recollection might have been off a bit.

From the FC Dallas blog:

Interesting.

But Gbandi's from Liberia.

 

D'oh.

 

Are you sure it wasn't Magic Man's "now you see me, now you don't"?

 

They were spirit fingers. Duh! Get a clue. Sheesh. Everyone knows that.

Alvarez tried it pathetically after his goal so when Gbandi scored he was like, "Those aren't spirit fingers. Now THESE are spirit fingers!"

 

I thought he was channeling his inner John Cena and ratted himself out as a 20 something year old WWE fan.

Don't ask me how I know about John Cena and WWE.

 

I thought I saw him throwing up the shocker, but maybe I just imagined it.

 

all i know is that it reminded me of that dumbsh!t tim thomas of the phoenix suns
he would do the same thing when he hit a 3
it was either like "in your face" or like "ive got the hot hand"
all i know is he's a scrub on the clips now, and i can sleep peacefully

 

i think that is what it was. Someone said what it was earlier this week, maybe boomer? Anyway, it is supposedly a common thing those fools in the NBA do sometimes.

 

hey Rocket,

the way you mis-remembered Gbandi's reason for that celebration is way hip. If Jeff Cunningham reads your first post he will definitely create a
mini-series of goal celebrations that only make sense when seen in sequence -

and the number of episodes would be equal to the # of goals Jeff needs to be all-time MLS goal-scring champ!

back to Chris - I thought it was some reason windshield wipers - but glad to learn otherwise

anything "up" rather than "down" I like as a goal celebration -

upspirit:

Bebeto - cradle - wonderful
Dempsey - homerun - etc - super*
Donovan - catch a falling star - sublime and courageous
JK#9 - flip - youdaman

downspirit:

dog-pee on the corner flag
cocaine-inhale the chalk line

*come to think of it Dempsey's differing, situation-specific g. celebrations has a tiny inkling of pt 1 pt 2 pt 3 to them

but all that's not why I posted.:

Gina Z. - how do you know about John Cena and WWE?

and what do people think about Chris G. immediately saying he had just ripped the shot without looking or aiming? - wouldn't he have added to his left0side-attacking aura [in the minds of future opponents] had he called the goal as all intentional, on-purpose, that's what I was trying to do all along...?

p.s. Rocket, I'm in row 15 this season - haven't seen ya out there

 

lets hope gbandi comes back alive after this game against cameroon. one player refused to play because hes afraid of his life!

"Also, the American based striker Macolm Cephas was dropped without any apparent reason, but whispers suggest the player might have turned down the invitation on grounds of fear, as it had to take divine intervention to save him and his national team playmates after an irate crowd opted for their heads on October 10, 2004, after the Lone Star then under Kadalla Kromah lost at the SKD to Senegal 3-0."

If fans of a certain team were falsely accusing me of cocaine use, that would be the exact goal celebration I would do if I scored against that team.

It's all about context, like your mancrush over Dempsey's goal celebrations.

 

yeah, and the golf swing was funny too. the "downspirit" celebrations are just frankly more interesting and tend to have more meaning to them. Esky spitting out the Red Bull was great.

 

I would talk the chalk, do a spoon man dance, then cook the imaginary dope in the imaginary spoon, inject it and then fall over backwards and do the Fred Sanford-it's the big heart attack.

 

what planet do u guys live on? Hip Hop artists do it all the time, The celebration means "U Can't See Me"! I guess you all aren't that hip.

 

NBA players are all thug rappers, so I was right.

 

Hi, Zé Bill. Haven't been able to make it out to a game yet due to family business. Will hopefully make the next game though.

 

Jeff's first episode would be about his secret, gay crush on himself. (Hint to the headscratchers: He kissed his own lips on his poster after tying the game against FCD on April 7th).

If Gbandi is planning on telling us a 5 part story, we better be ready to not hear part 5 until 2015.
