Great goal, poor swing mechanics
February 22 - 2007
The Liverpool-Barca scoreline pretty much confirms there is a God, and He has a particularly good sense of humor. Deco opened the scoring for Barca. Liverpool equalized through Karaoke-terror, Craig Bellamy, then took the lead through Bellamy’s golf-club beating victim, John Arne Riise. But that’s not even the best part.
Yep, Bellamy celebrated by swinging a golf club. Days after beating Riise with a 9-iron for refusing to sing in a Karaoke contest, he reenacts the incident during a moment of immense importance for his club. Bellamy is a high-functioning retard.
Normally, I’d think new owners George Gillet and Tom Hicks would be shocked to find they have such a man on their roster…but then I am reminded of the fact they are hockey owners. Par for the course, if you will.


i am not sure that is a golf swing.it;s much like a six being hit in cricket.this proves that he multiple game player.
this is strange a man uses golf swing as a celebration for scoring a goal in football.But it has much to do with risse

I know its just a throw away line, but in defense of hockey players they drop their sticks when they fight, not go back to the hotel room and grab one.

[...] Another reason to tentatively, cautiously warm up to soccer: When one of its players beats up a teammate with a golf club for refusing to join him in karaoke, he’s not beneath celebrating a goal the next week by swinging an air golf club feverishly. This is like, say, Pacman Jones celebrating a touchdown by pretending to knock a stripper around and then biting the pilon. [...]

Unreal…Fowler is still unbeatable though.
Incredibley ironic that bellamy set up riise’s goal to win it also.

That was so bizarre.. what is he boasting about? It would at least make sense, in a twisted way, if he had beat some other party with a golf club. But it was his teammate! And he’s apparently proud of it. What a psycho.
