I agree he is one of us and needs support. I remember the West Stand supporting Saka after miss England miss and we need to assist him getting over this disappointment for all of us including him.Deserves a huge reception, and a loud rendition of his song, on Monday.
He made the wrong choice with the penalty and he knows that now.
Can't change what's happened, and no amount of abuse is going to help.
Dango, Dango, Dango
He comes from Burkina Faso
There's no one I'd rather
Than Dango Ouattara
Scoring wherever he goes.
No im suggesting that he is a bigger man than spmebody suggesting he has an ego and that maybe "Roy Keane type players" arent always to be reveredAre you suggesting he only took that pen cos other teammates p*ssied out?
He did seem to stand there forever. All the West Ham fans behind the goal were waving their arms and booing. I thought he was probably nervous and trying to compose himself.Normally I find a panenka penalty often a player that wants to make it all about him, show off a little, and possibly humiliate the keeper. However, looking how nervous and indecisive he looked, I don't think that was the case and he just had no idea what to do.
The problem was that the most successful panenka's often come when players sprint up to the ball to give the impression they are going for power, making the keeper have to fling themselves to one side. His run up was so slow he made it easy for Areola to stand up as long as possible.

If anyone is on Instagram, if you go on to his most recent post (from February) you can click to report the racist comments he is getting since last night - there are quite a lot and it is vile.So many racist comments on Instagram, can't believe what i'm reading. It's utterly disgusting.
On the penalty itself, I mentioned to my dad before he took it that I wouldn't have him on penalty 2.... but didn't expect that.
Chin up Dango, real Brentford fans have your back.
Which World Cup was this? I only remember one where he did step up and missed.Remember - Paul Ince (a "Roy Keane" type player) didnt have the b*llocks to take a penalty for his country in a shoot out in the World Cup.
Dango stepped up and missed.
That makes him 100 X the man of somebody who doesnt.
ClassBrentford head coach Keith Andrews:
"I'm not annoyed at all. The easiest thing for a footballer to do is to not take a penalty. It takes unbelievable courage on a stage like that to take a penalty.
"I despise the culture around players that have missed penalty kicks. We're talking about national heroes who have done it. They have been ridiculed, persecuted. I think it's disgusting.
"It takes serious courage to do that [take a penalty]. He practices that technique a lot. If it goes in, everyone's raving about him. So Dango will get the absolute support he needs from us and everybody attached to him."
NopeI would be happy for him to take the next penalty.
He sat down and didnt watch the penalties, after said he had an injury or some crap (yet played 120 minutes)Which World Cup was this? I only remember one where he did step up and missed.
your memory is different than mine. i think there was a great divide! The realI agree he is one of us and needs support. I remember the West Stand supporting Saka after miss England miss and we need to assist him getting over this disappointment for all of us including him.
Brentford fans who wanted to grief him and the wet blouses who wanted to support an opposition player against their own team. :eek
Not very Brentford at all.and it doesn’t feel very Brentford to indulge in Paneka style penalties!

So let’s follow the trail…That is just evil stuff to give abuse like that. There was an article about the horrible increase in racist abuse recently towards players and link with betting losses. I really hope no Brentford supporter would even dream of doing stuff like that
Absolutely gutted for him
The growing link between gambling and racist abuse of Premier League players
I've heard it all now.The club only care about stats.
hahahahahahaThe club only care about stats.
And I doubt panenkas are very stat-friendly.
So I’m surprised this was even allowed to happen.
I’m still not over seeing us lose against Carlisle at Wembley , I can wait a little longersome have been very over the top, some are giving him more personal abuse are those that said we shouldn’t boo wissa. this is what Untouchable is referencing on this thread. HOWEVER, every single bees fan had that dream of wembley, filling out those seats that we didn’t get to in the play offs. Winning the FA cup would have been the best moment for many fans even topping promotion. Seeing a player throw that chance away with what can be seen as an arrogant penalty is crushing and honestly slightly disrespectful. I hope he learns his lesson and can make up for it by dragging us to europe, performances have been slipping recently.
I have never forgiven Trotta, especially as he refused to give the ball to Kevin O’Connor to take the penalty, and then go and missIf we want to push on this season we need to support Dango on the pitch and not get on his back.
It was sh*t and annoying but he looked knackered tbh so who knows what was going through his head.
We forgave Trotta and it worked out.
I think it's those abusing they need to learn the difference between critiquing and abuse. "he's a f***ing dickhead", "he needs shooting" etc is not critique. Plenty (if not all) of us saying to get behind him etc have also said it was a sh*t penalty as well.
I would be happy for him to take the next penalty.
If there was a Like xEveryone knows it was daft, but everyone has done something silly at some point.
I was watching it whilst the wife was watching TV, my first reaction was to drop the phone on the couch, exasperated and say. I don’t believe it, he’s tried to do a panelka and dinked it straight to the keeper, oh FFS, what a stupid thing to do.
At no point did it cross my mind to say, he’s a ****, he a w***er, he is a f***ing *****, he should walk home, I hope his team mates pile into him and the manager screams his face of at him and a whole load of other b***ocks.
In fact, I utterly despise people who pile into their own players instantly on any mistake with vile personal abuse and call them names I would only ever reserve for referees and oppo players.
What is even more mind boggling is some of the players abusing one of their own are the same ones who defended Sam Sodje who took money to deliberately lose games for Brentford, utterly unforgivable. And a bloke who gives everything, is honest as the day is long but makes a mistake is called a **** .
Mind f***ing boggles.
Think Andrews was classy in his public defence of Dango, but the sentiment doesn’t totally add up! It was definitely misguided given the situation, and it doesn’t feel very Brentford to indulge in Paneka style penalties!
I suspect he won’t do it again in a hurry, but I would also hope that Andrew’s also pulled him up on it alitttke in private!
There’s no one I’d rather …I would be happy for him to take the next penalty.
Panenka wherever he goes...There’s no one I’d rather …
Why, if it’s on target it could go in. If “crash it off the crossbar like Trotta” it definitely won’t????I'm over it now but I never want to see it again. I'd rather crash it off the crossbar like trotta
f*** sake. Obviously they wouldn't be aiming for the crossbar...Why, if it’s on target it could go in. If “crash it off the crossbar like Trotta” it definitely won’t????
And Dango wasn't "aiming for the keeper...."f*** sake. Obviously they wouldn't be aiming for the crossbar...
f*** it then, let's see thiago rabona the next penalty, or swing his cock at it, as long as his 'intention' is to score it's fine
You have been uncharacteristically (only joshing) prescient this eveningWas it worse than Shade's effort earlier in the season? He got the same kind of abuse.

Maybe easily pleased, but if the current squad / team shat on my doorstep, would find a positive omen in it.

No one should get abuse for missing a penalty, but I think it's fine and natural for people to be annoyed and frustrated, it's a sh*t way to miss out on a quater final and good chance at a semiWas it worse than Shade's effort earlier in the season? He got the same kind of abuse.
@nocoat will be along shortly with a gag about a semi. Wait for it… Here it comes…No one should get abuse for missing a penalty, but I think it's fine and natural for people to be annoyed and frustrated, it's a sh*t way to miss out on a quater final and good chance at a semi
Effectively no professional footballer of PL standard should ever miss a penalty. Twelve yards with a keeper to beat who cannot dive before the ball is kicked should be straightforward. Just have to place it with sufficient power. Every week though many are missed because the stress and expectation gets the better of them. It happens to the best of them and we shouldn't slate them when it's one of our own however they decide to take it. A groan or a ffs is permissible abuse isn't !And Dango wasn't "aiming for the keeper...."
Results were both the same though....
What was you wife watching?
Probably something like gone on ITV or maybe capture on BBC@mhead bee
This thing called gone, "we" were watching, which means I watch football and ask millions of questions. Just another slow as hell murder program where nothing seems to happen.
