What a BURKE !!!

Was it just me or did anybody else get fuked off by this little fuker?

Long before Dawson got booked he was whinging to the Ref holding up 3 fingers to indicate Dawson had fouled him 3 times then did the old finger pointing BS at the lino on the east stand side, you know like in that film, Meet The Fockers where De Niro points two fingers to his own eyes then back at Gaylord and says I'm watching you Focker !!!

Any way back to Burke, what a twat !!!

I wanted to knock his swede off !!!

 

Nah thought he played well, in fact i'd say he was their biggest threat and i was baffled when they subbed him off.
Dawson played well against him but it was certainly an old school performance from him, he knew Burke would out-pace him even with the ball (which he did a couple of times) so he kept making sure Burke knew he was there (so to speak). You've got to expect a winger to put in a few whinges to refs/linos when they're getting knocked about, Cam would do the same.

I'd have him here for sure though

 

On the radio commentary Swanny thought the booking was deserved, as Daws had been niggling at Burke all game up to the booking. Think the ref had totted the minor things up and called a halt to it. Burke had to be double teamed to keep him in hand it seems as well.

 

Dawson's was always a booking tbh, he always does something like that but tbh at that stage in the game just make sure he doesn't get a run at the defence is worth a booking definately. I still have no idea why they took him off, as he looked a class act, and i think he was the smallest player on the pitch so they just took him off.

 

Not disputing Dawson deserved his booking but Burke,such a moaning twat and the way he sulked when the Ref or lino never game him the decision was pathetic and childish.

Burke was a threat no doubt and had the legs on Dawson. Dawson knew this and had to resort to a few slight dirty measures but I just hated to see the way Burke went about moaning like a little school girl then waving his hand at the Ref indicating Dawson should be booked, let the Ref does his own job !!!

 

Dawson is not good enough unfortunately! Burke picked up an injury I believe

 

I thought Dawson's booking was proposterous. I couldn't remember any previous fouls and he seemed to get booked for a totally inoccouous challenge in their half. If he was doing it all game then fair enough but how they escaped 3 more bookings in the second half I will never know, the one where Stewart was sliced in two under the linesman's nose, and two at the end when McLean and Rosenior were hacked from behind in the corner, McLean's was given as a freekick but no booking and for the Rosenior one he gave a free kick the other way!

I've moaned about it plenty of times before, but the Leicester game being the one exception where we've had a decent ref, it seems refs are desperate find reasons to book our players and the dirtier opposition always gets away with it.

 

Lets just say that if Andy JOCK Davidson had been playing in that game Burke would have left on crutches at the very least.

To be fair Mclean was lucky not to walk for what he did. He even said as much when talking with Burnsie. Dawsons silly and Mckenna took one for the team.

But i agree the lad who did Stewart should have seen yellow for sure.

 

Even the Leicester ref was ****, didn't get so many pointless things wrong, be a total **** or keep stopping play (he let it flow nicely IMO) but he bottled it on a number of challenges at either side. He was too scared to give 2 penalties in the same game.

 

Can't say i really noticed Burke moaning to be honest but I wasn't really concentrating on him. i thought Dawson & McKenna's bookings were justified but McLean was a bit unlucky with his (although there were a few other instances where McLean could have been shown another yellow)

 

Cannot deny Dawson has been an unbelievable servant for this club and still has a part to play but I don't think it should be as our first choice left back

 

agreed but dudgeon needed a rest. now i think that dawson does. he cannot play 3 games in 8 days, not now IMO.

 

Did he though or did NB just want to play his mate?

 

yes JD did need a rest. plus maybe NB saw what effect the Burnley shambles had on him. You cannot put a price on good experience. i dont see NB as a jobs for the boys man. a few of the others will get a rest soon (ie.the fa cup game)

 

Hope you're right and dudgeon comes back on saturday

 

i think alot will depend on if NB feels that Daws can handle 3 games in 8 days.

 

Be tough on him after been out for so long

 

yes. also i am not sure if coventry have any pacey wingers. if they do then maybe dudg will be back.

 

Dawson is a bit of a worry when someone runs at him, whereas JD looks so comfortable (and his initials sound cool).
