I agree, it's his brother and he's showing his support in a pretty high profile way. Having been in a similar situation years ago, I appreciate what family support in these situations is like.
I can't see as there is any cause for debate at all. A player should be able to celebrate a goal however he feels as long as it's within the rules of the game. Tim did.

Yes I agree. Who knows what the 'Boro players will do if they ever score a goal?
I just don't think Cahill needed to bring his personal issues into public especially when his brother has left somebody blind or whatever, there is just no need for it, it has no relation to football.

So you would also outlaw players doing the "rock the baby" celebration when they've just become fathers? Don't want their personal issues coming in to the game now do we....

I wouldn't outlaw anything like that, its just up the players to show common sense, they are public figures and need to be a bit more public savvy, you don't need to show the world your support for your criminal brother you do that behind closed doors or between bars
Exactly. He was clearly emotional and he broke no rules. It's a sad and dangerous precedent to outlaw players celebrating goals how they wish to within the rules.

What about the family of the victim? what if they had been watching? theres just no need to do that kind of celebration its pathetic and unappropriate there are more than 1 way to celebrate a goal.
Actually the victim was from where i live, SE London. His family spoke in the local paper a few weeks after it and said they saw him celebrated like that but only realised afterwards what the meaning of it was!
