    Probably the actions of someone keen to engineer a January move.

    Thought his reaction was fine. Bruce should respect a player being frustrated at not being able to get in the team. If he wasn't there would be more of a problem.

    Frustration is one thing but if that was aimed at SB then it was a public showing of dissent towards the manager and simply isn't on.

    It's not even as if he made the goal. Rosenior, McShane and Boyd were more to thank.

    Its a fairly standard gesture in sports and I have never heard of it being directed at a coach. It is always directed at the fans and is normally used to get them to cheer louder. It is fairly common at home games in hockey and the NFL.

    I dont know where anyone is getting it was directed at Bruce but that idea seems pretty ridiculous.

    It was done 180 degrees away from the City fans, and aiming it at the Boro fans would make no sense, it's not as if they'd given him abuse or anything. Bruce was in that general direction so I can see why people might think it was aimed at him.

    No chance it was aimed at Bruce. Bigger chance it was at the Boro fans than his own coach.

    Neither really makes sense to me.

    Perhaps due to the accustics or something he thought that was where the chearing was coming from. Perhaps he has watched to many American sports games. I dont know either. But as frustrated as Pro might be the idea that he would do that on the field to the coach is crazy. His agent could be complaigning publicaly or he could be demanding a transfer etc. I cant think of anyone who has ever disrespected a coach on the field in front of a crowd,,,,, Well mabey Tavez or Balotelli but they are proper assholes and Pro has always seemed pretty professional on the pitch.

    I have to admit that is one of the funniest things I've read on here in quite some time. Thank you!

    I agree that he's never been a problem before as far as we know and he deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I'd love to hear an explanation what that was.

    His hearing aid battery died and he was signaling to the physio to get him a new one!

    It was like the movie invincible, Pro's ex-wife left him a note when she moved out that he would never amount to anything. He scored and was calling her out!

    Pro heard about that Nelson Mandela sign language interpreter fiasco. Pro figured he could make **** up on the field and get the dudes job.

    Pro thinks he plays for Middlesbrough and couldnt figure out why they werent chearing his goal.
