Ireland celebrates goal by dropping his shorts
-
Troubled Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland celebrated scoring the winning goal in his side's 1-0 win over Sunderland last night by dropping his shorts. The occasional Republic of Ireland international pulled his shorts down to his ankles to reveal a pair of Superman underpants after scoring an excellent volley.
His manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, didn't seemed to bothered by his antics. He said: "Superman - super goal. He has been training very well, I am just a little surprised it has taken him a bit of time to play better. I saw his celebration. Stephen scored a nice goal and I would like to leave it there. Maybe the FA will look at it - but I hope not." -

Ireland set to escape FA charge
BBC Sport understands the FA is not expected to charge Ireland with misconduct, though he may be handed a warning over his future behaviour.
Professional Footballers Association chief executive Gordon Taylor believes the FA would be right not to take action against the midfielder.
"I think it is fair enough just to give him a warning," Taylor told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I think the Football Association will say 'you are not supposed to do that' and it will not happen again." -

Strange... both happen to be Man City players...
Seems like their is something about taking-off their pants to celebrate over there...

Micah: I'd have shown my 'superpants' celebration too
Micah Richards revealed today he would have joined Manchester City team-mate Stephen Ireland in his bizarre "Superman" goal celebration had he been playing.
They each bought a pair of skimpy briefs, sporting a Superman logo, and had agreed to reveal their underwear to the crowd if either of them scored against Sunderland on Monday.
Richards said: "I was supposed to do that celebration with him. We both bought the same pants at the same time. However, I was not playing - and I am quite pleased now because otherwise I would have got the same stick.
"It was quite disappointing to hear people wanted him to be fined. You have to be so careful nowadays with how you celebrate because it seems that the fun element when celebrating goals is disappearing.
"It is not as though he was naked or anything and it was not hurting anyone so I do not really see anything wrong with it." -
This is becoming a Man City behaviour.
