Sorry, have to diasagree. If Dawson doesn't make that block in ET then it's a goal and we are out already, before the penalties (in hindsight probably the better option ).
I think you have misunderstood me??

So many going OTT as usual about how good or bad a player is, we often seem to love/ hate players based on their last performance, Dawson has always had a massive heart, always been so likeable, always gives 110% , and sometimes has really good games, but often, if we are honest he does come short, especially against the top players...lets see against Aguero next week, if we still think he is awesome...don't get me wrong,i am glad we kept him as i think he has done well, but if..if we are serious about moving to the next level, that imo means no Dawson as a first team regular, i see him as a squad player who can play against certain forwards and certain types of games, but he certainly isn't awesome imo...though i wish he was.

Haha possibly. Are we talking about the merits of Dawsons challenge on Frei in the last few minutes of ET or the earlier challenge in the first half of normal time? I was referring to the block on A Frei's effort and thought you were putting that down to Frei error more than Dawson briliance.
No i totally agree with everything you said, i think in my post regards the first block, also a good block, the latter of that post was sarcasm(albeit a poor attempt)
As the camera panned around the field after the final penalty, he was almost in tears.Probably not the time for bigging anyone up. But Ive said it before and I'll say it again, I fucking love Daws.
Would have loved to see him lift the trophy and for that alone I am glad we gave it a proper go and took the Europa League seriously. You just know he is as gutted as us.
I believe he is our longest serving player now Ledley has retired.
Look how much it means to him. Truly representing the fans out there on the pitch.
It came out of the East Stand directors boxes.Whoever that wanker was that said Newcastle had scored: A big middle finger to you.
Love Daws. Hope he gets that contract extension.
Breaks my heart to see Daws like that, worse than not getting CL is seeing how much he wanted it. Captain fantastic.It came out of the East Stand directors boxes.
I think it was done with the best intentions, to gee there players up a bit and hope Newcastle do us a favour. It worked as we were far more aggressive afterward.
Rumour has it that Alan Sugar said on Twitter that they had scored!Whoever that wanker was that said Newcastle had scored: A big middle finger to you.

And weren't the crowd amazing after that? Shame we can't be that passionate every game!It came out of the East Stand directors boxes.
