"We were all fond of a celebration under Pillar but I remember under Pat Gilroy first, when Pat got involved, it was 'lads, stop that nonsense,' once you got a goal it was get back out to the full forward line and shut out the short kick-out," said the St Oliver Plunkett's Eoghan Rua club man.
Whatever about Basquel's celebration, the get-ready-for-the-next-play-police certainly wouldn't have been happy with Cork's Rory Maguire. After scoring a brilliant goal vs Derry, the Cork full back blew kisses to the Canal End crowd but it was only 54 seconds later when Derry responded with a goal of their own.
In Maguire's defence, he got back to his position very quickly. Brogan feels however that, like in soccer, players should be given a chance to celebrate their goals properly. It might bring back the famous celebrations of years gone by, particularly in 2002 when Ray Cosgrave went to town. "You'd have to give a little wag so Pat Gilroy didn't see you doing it," recalled Brogan. "I remember, back in 2002, when Ray Cosgrave scored the six goals, he had a celebration for every one of them. One time he was shooting bow and arrows into the top of the Cusack stand, it was great stuff. One time he ran out the back of the goal in towards Hill 16 as well. Sure the ball would be up the other end of the field by the time you're out! "Bernard's first goal against Laois in 2007, he finished one right in the corner and he was going full bore towards Hill 16 so as soon as he kicked it, he still had the momentum to come back around on the arc by the Cusack stand. "I'll never forget it, he was wing forward at the time and when he got back to his position, he was down on his hunkers trying to get his breath back! That wasn't because of the goal, that was because of the celebration! "But there's no doubt, if you get caught up in the euphoria of a big game, it can come back to bite you."What a finish from Rory Maguirepic.twitter.com/L6VnO5fyyB

"But look at Colm Basquel, two goals in an All-Ireland quarter final, the second one probably killed the game too - so I wouldn't begrudge him an auld celebration coming back out."
