Birmingham City manager, Wayne Rooney has come out to say that he would speak with Jay Stansfield about the striker’s controversial goal celebration in his team’s 3-3 draw with Plymouth Argyle. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he would prefer his players to focus on doing the job on the pitch, but he understands he is a young player learning his trade in the game.
Rooney added that Jay might have celebrated that way because of how emotional the game was for him and his family.
His words, “Sometimes you’re better focusing on your job on the pitch, but ultimately he’s a young player learning his trade in the game and he felt this game was very emotional for him and his family and he’s reacted after his goal the way he did, and the referee rightly gave him a yellow card. I knew he went behind the goal to the fans, I didn’t know he had a T-shirt.”
“I’ll speak to Jay on it. When you get involved with fans you never know what the reaction is going to be. I’ve been there myself, I’ve made mistakes like that myself on the pitch and it’s something which I’m sure he’ll learn from.”
