Noone won't celebrate Liverpool goal
10:35am Thursday 16th February 2012 in Sport By Andy Naylor
Craig Noone will not be doing this if he scores
Craig Noone will not celebrate if he scores against his beloved Liverpool in the FA Cup at Anfield on Sunday.
Albion's Liverpudlian winger revealed to The Argus: "I've thought about scoring and playing there. If I am lucky enough to do that and score it will be a dream come true.
"I wouldn't celebrate, just out of respect really to the club I love and support.
"I am still a supporter now and go to Liverpool games as much as I can.
"I've been to Tottenham and Fulham to watch them this season and hopefully I am going to Wembley (Carling Cup final)."
Noone is hoping to be involved in the fifth round tie after appearing as a substitute in the last two games against Leeds and Millwall.
He has not started a match in 2012 due to a hamstring injury sustained in the New Year's Eve defeat at Coventry but was named man-of-the-match in Albion's 2-1 defeat by Liverpool in the Carling Cup at The Amex earlier in the season.

Probably reads worse than it is, cos I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to score in front of his family and friends, but a comment he should have kept to himself ! I'm sure he'll be up for it if he gets the chance. Reminds me a bit of Dennis Law scoring for Man City against Man Utd and condemning them to relegation ! He was a great Pro and he relegated the team he loved because he was a true Pro. I'm sure Craig will be professional about his responsibilities too and I know how much he's looking forward to the tie.

And LL will come of the bench before Nooney now. His reluctance to celebrate if he scored would make it easier for Gus to let him go at the right price, The more I think about his reluctance to celebrate the more it bothers me. He should not have allowed his thoughts to go to print. What sort of message is that sending to Albion fans? Shot and foot comes to mind. Any player is thrilled to put one over on his previous club or supported club.
Like Murray did at the Amex?
He is a Liverpool fan but do you think he would rather watch them in the final or play for Brighton in the final?
You lot are mental if you think he will spurn the chance to score at Anfield, or think he lacks commitment to the Albion cause.

He got the man of the match award and was told by Gerrard that he was the best player on the pitch in the Carling cup game, so I'm sure it won't affect his performance.
