Those hand celebrations are so cringey, really really sad.
Why does this wind people up so much?
I think it is because in Britain we have traditionally been quite laid back and conservative when it comes to showing emotion. When we do, it is spontaneous, not rehearsed. The same reason that training-ground-practised-celebrations and "Ultra" style flag waving and some bloke orchestrating other supporters with a megaphone, and not watching a kick, does not sit well with most people.
What about football chants, especially those led by a drummer? I really do think the problem here is that anything that punctures the expected front of male aggression and triumphalism makes your average British bloke feel a trifle insecure. What if Charlton practiced a celebration where they pretend to beat the shit out of the goalscorer? You'd all be in seventh heaven.

I remember Jason Euell and Chris Bart Williams had some dance move they had when scoring a goal. Just a bit of fun and makes a change from someone pretending to machine gun the crowd or knee slide.

What ? Charlton life has its own Analyst ? I blame it all on my mum not loving me enough.

I think you might be reading a bit too much into it mate.

Replace the words 'pretend to' and 'goal scorer' with 'actually' and 'owner' and I think you're on to something.

I don't think my thoughts quite suggested that Leuth. Personally I am not keen on the drum either. Again, it lacks spontaniety, in my eyes. Perhaps it's an age thing, chants have always been part of my 40+ years as a supporter so I don't see them as some kind of aggression. Maybe someone from the thirties where it was all a bit Chumleigh-Warner, and we all applauded the jolly good sportsmanship of the plucky opposition and shared woodbines in mixed crowds, would not see it that way at all. I for one don't feel insecure when I see a fancy handshake between two blokes I am never going to meet taking place 1000 miles away...
