Dango Ouattara

Dango Ouattara

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.
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.
 

Dango Ouattara

Are you suggesting he only took that pen cos other teammates p*ssied out?
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 revered

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.
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.

By contrast, most of the West Ham players came up and smashed the ball into the net off the right hand post.

Not my screenshot, dangos instagram. Vile😡View attachment 64654

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.
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.

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.
Which World Cup was this? I only remember one where he did step up and missed.
 

Dango Ouattara

Brentford 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."
Class

He sat down and didnt watch the penalties, after said he had an injury or some crap (yet played 120 minutes)
May have been the Euros.

your memory is different than mine. i think there was a great divide! The real :fishing: Brentford fans who wanted to grief him and the wet blouses who wanted to support an opposition player against their own team. :eek



:pop:

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!

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

So let’s follow the trail…

Missed pens - abuse - abuse from gamblers - the gambling industry to blame - Benham’s fault
 

Dango Ouattara

some 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’m still not over seeing us lose against Carlisle at Wembley , I can wait a little longer 😆
 

Dango Ouattara

If 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 have never forgiven Trotta, especially as he refused to give the ball to Kevin O’Connor to take the penalty, and then go and miss
 

Dango Ouattara

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.


Everyone 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 people 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.

If there was a Like x 💯 button. Who cares, we’ll have to win the FA Cup next season (realise a significant % of GPG will be dead by then).
He’ll be instrumental in us all booking our tickets for the Nou Camp next season.

I very much doubt he needed to. If the bloke could wind back time and do something different he would.

Was it worse than Shade's effort earlier in the season? He got the same kind of abuse.
You have been uncharacteristically (only joshing) prescient this evening ;)
Maybe easily pleased, but if the current squad / team shat on my doorstep, would find a positive omen in it.

To be fair, when Brentford lose I blame the ref or the cheating opposition, you would find it hard in 30 years of posting to find many posts where I go to town on our players. If some are not good enough I have pointed it out, but never in an abusive fashion, more of a, they try their best but we need better kind of way. Fiercely defensive of our team and players and that is why anyone who rounds on them for making mistakes or not being good enough can get to fukk as far as I am concerned.

What was you wife watching?

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
@nocoat will be along shortly with a gag about a semi. Wait for it… Here it comes…
 

Dango Ouattara

And Dango wasn't "aiming for the keeper...."
Results were both the same though....
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 !

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.

100%, it is the foul name calling that gets me, how can someone turn so quickly on their own, especially someone who has scored to win two of the biggest games in history in the last couple of weeks.
 

Dango Ouattara

Played 120 minutes, physically and mentally drained.

You could tell how long he took to take his run up after the ref blew the whistle he was shot to bits.

Just had a brain fart, it happens, move on.

Hopefully tears Wolves a new one on Monday night.
