and I have a splendid and well proportioned nose
I said you did - because you are an irrational stalker of Dawson, you freakin wierdo.
Wriggly, despite disagreements, I think that you can be a great poster, and mostly I love the stuff you put in - but at times you go too far.
We all could see that Daws wasn't taking the most cultured route, fighting fire with fire perhaps, but we can all see that it was the pitch, the opposition and the occasion. Like totman said, he was hardly stand out in playing below his potential.
As I said, all I did was to stick up for the guy, as an antidote for the irrational and stupid points and winges, I'm hardly going to say that it was the beautiful game I love to see.
Take it from me, I don't think I'm better than everyone else - but I know for a fact that I am a damn sight more rational and level headed about our team and its players than a LOT of posters, and frankly - I don't give a toss if people think me big headed for saying so. Because you only have to look at some of the brick posted during match threads, to see how over excited and emotional people get.
You fell into that trap, trying to showpiece your hobby horse hatred of a pretty good defender, who has put in some classy shifts lately and you have never had the decency to say so. If you want to be respected, slate someone for something you believe to be wrong, but also swallow your pride and give them credit when its due.
