For anyone who hasn't been today Jason Shackell did a masterclass in being a ****,clashed with Daggers and spent five minutes checking if any blood was oozing from his mouth,then tried the big angry man act,and to Daggers credit he fronted up well,then had a go at another small player, teenager Danny Rose,lost a bit of interest when Dawson got involved to look after the lad,and as the teams were leaving the pitch Dawson and he had another verbal exchange before the officials stepped in to break it up,Shackell walked away and grabbed Perkins around the neck and said something in his ear as though in a friendly gesture....Perks obviously didn't like it and shoved him away and grabbed Shackell around the head, and not playfully either, before officials stepped in again.My conclusion on todays evidence is that Jason likes to pick his targets.....I think he ought to be a bit more careful,the old saying 'it's not the size of the dog in the fight,but the size of the fight in the dog that counts' springs to mind.
Didnt realise that he had a pop at perks! Stayed after match saw him still winding dawson up. Perks had nothing to do with him all absolutely fuming with shackall
Really nice to see our players getting stuck in there for each other today. Unity and passion will be massive over the next few months and we had it today in bucket loads. Stick together lads and keep fighting till the last minute.
Totally agree about shackell. A disgrace to his profession. I had a low opinion of him pre today - it's now subterranean. The man is an arse. Dawson is an absolute star. Imagine playing in the same team as him - an inspiration.
Nothing malicious in the elbow from Daggers, puely accidental and Shackell reacted like a spoilt brat. Was spoiling for a scrap all afternoon after that and the way he grabbed Danny Rose by the neck was disgraceful. Dawson was class all afternoon and thoroughly deserves MoM award...
Forgot to mention.. at one stage of the game I thought he was playing for us the number of times he passed it to a red shirt, ...teflon to**er IMO
Would love to see Shackell try picking a scrap with Dawson. The irish warrior would smash his ****ing teeth out
