Signing For Dummies

I don't know about you girls, but when a man reaches inside his shorts and pulls something out I'm hoping for something a bit more interesting than a dummy!

Apparently Tevez's rather unique celebration for his winning goal against Birmingham yesterday was dedicated to his daughter, Florencia.

Not the only mysterious symbol associated with goal scoring at the moment though. There is also the "A" sign being displayed by some players. Those 'in the know' tell us that this is a positive gesture, however, as it symbolises a new initiative aimed at using football to provide positive role models for young men.

I'm sure you will agree that when you are in the public spotlight, setting an example of good behaviour is important. If gestures are used then they should not be like this. Or this. And of course not like this.

It is also important to know what different gestures mean, just in case you inadvertently cause offence.

Meantime we can only hope there is no further hidden meaning to Tevez's gesture. I'm not sure the football world is yet ready for paraphilic infantilism.
