The spokes person of Everton, Ian Ross defended the young mid fielder by saying that the celebration of the goal made by the player may not be liked by every body but the celebration of a goal is a personal matter and it was actually a personal decision. These celebrations have nothing to do with the team and are completely on the player’s part to decide.
He also added that the player cannot be instructed about what he can do until he stays within the laws of the game and the activity of the player is not resulting in any problem for others. According to the team spokesman Tim is a very sensible and articulate young man and he had well measured the merits and demerits of his action before deciding to do it. This was done by him because it was an emotional decision.
