What minute will Michael Dawson drop a bollock

I remember being assured about four years ago that this bloke would be England captain within five years. Well four years on and he's due to get his first cap tomorrow in the England Greece game.

Because of all the hype, I took a particular interest in all the live TV games that I watched with him in them and it soon became obvious, even in the Forest days, that he was prone to at least one almighty bollock per game, which is what has halted his international career I believe (even though he trained with the full England squad several years ago for the experience).

An ability to misjudge balls in mid flight and regularly get caught out of postition and lacking the pace to compensate, has somehow been overlooked by Spurs who also seem to be of the opinion that this guy will make the grade some day.

I believe he suffered through injury last season but that didn't stop him from having a three match run that saw two almightly dropped bollocks and a sending off.

Massively overrated to date, it's not too late for him to make the grade but if he's going to do it, then this is the season to wipe out the mistakes. Tomorrow could be the first step. If he plays 45 minutes or over without dropping a major goolie (albeing only against a weak Greek team) then this could be it.

Re: What minute will Michael Dawson drop a bollock

Another year on and it's now about FIVE years since I was told that Dawson would break straight into the England team, where he'd then go on to be a future England captain.

As a youngster he'd been training with the England team (Thinking about it, I think it was under Keegan so it must be more like SEVEN years) and he was already almost the finished article at about 17.

Well seven years on and he's still fucking wank. His game yesterday was a complete abortion. He has a lapse in concentration once every ten minutes. He lacks vision. He lacks pace. He lacks positional sense. In short, he's fucking useless and one of the most overrated players in the Premiership.

I dread the day he actually pulls on a pair of boots for the National team. He keeps getting call ups to the squads but, fortunately, the outbreak of bubonic plague required to debilitate all the other defenders in the squad to such an extent that the useless twat gets a game has not yet happened.

I wake up some nights in a cold sweat from a recurring nightmare where England are playing a game with Dawson at central defence and David James behind him in goal.

The game is being played in a big top.

Nuff said.

And yet again tonight against Newcastle.

He's fuckin dreadful. You'd think the law of averages would say he'd have one dropped bollock free game on live TV but no. At least two fuck ups (one costing a goal) and it's only half time.

Owen would have probably scored from the first cock up if it was Robinson in goals The second one was just horrendous defending.

His partner at the back is obviously learning well from him. The chance when Kaboul, big lad, let Martin get in front of him inside the 6 yard box was poor defending too.

Never thought I would be saying it but contrast with the Newcastle defence. They have let a couple go through but its only Darren Bent up front but the big lad Faye is taking no prisoners and winning everything in the air and cleaning house on the ground.

If Spurs go down and Sunderland don't, I can see Roy Keane putting in a bid for Michael Dawson. He's shown an almost unerring ability to pick out a striped shirt tonight

Re: What minute will Michael Dawson drop a bollock

I missed his poor marking for the 2nd goal (saw it later), came back to watch the game and the first bit of commentary I hear is "Dawson...and thats straight to Owen"

Obviously getting in some practice for his England call up.


He must be wondering why it's taking so long

Re: What minute will Michael Dawson drop a bollock



am I getting to be that predictable?

Facing your own goal with the ball coming across and no idea who is behind you (as he never seems to have any idea where anyone is, that's a fair assumption) then the order of the day is to swing a boot across and clear the fucking ball way out of the danger area and not wave your dick at it on the way past.

Re: What minute will Michael Dawson drop a bollock

For some reason he is still thought of as a top player! On SSN this afternoon Thomo was still saying he's a top player, what more does he have to do wrong. Robinson as well, dear god surely one of the fattest keepers in England.

F A cup,Man U 1 Spurs 1.


Another classic Dawson clanger as, with his usual complete lack of awareness of what's going on around him, he drops off his man and takes the ball off the head of his own defender.


I bet Ramos can't wait for Woodgate to get there.
