Nottingham Forest: Fans react to Michael Dawson’s retirement

Former Nottingham Forest defender Michael Dawson has announced his retirement from professional football. 

The 37-year-old was most recently with Chris Hughton’s side, but departed when his contract reached a conclusion at the end of the 2020/21 season.

But he didn’t make a single appearance for the Reds in the 2020/21 league campaign, as Forest finished 17th in the Championship table, in what was a disappointing season for the City Ground faithful.

In the campaign prior to that, Forest finished seventh in the second-tier standings, with Dawson making 19 appearances in total for the Reds in that campaign.

Dawson signed for Nottingham Forest in his second spell back in 2018, and made 121 appearances in total for the Reds over two separate spells with the club.

Speaking after his departure from the City Ground was confirmed this summer, Nottingham Forest Chairman, Nicholas Randall issued high-praise for Dawson, and labelled him as the ‘model professional’.

Now, plenty of Nottingham Forest supporters have taken to social media to react to the news of Dawson’s retirement, with many wishing him well for the future.

Take a look at the best of the reaction from Twitter, via the Nottingham Forest social media account, below….

ليفربول يوجه رسالة إلى محمد صلاح بعد تتويجه بجائزة أفضل لاعب في إنجلترا

احتفى نادي ليفربول بتتويج نجمه المصري محمد صلاح بجائزة أفضل لاعب في الموسم 2021-2022 المقدمة من رابطة المحترفين الإنجليزية.

وفاز محمد صلاح بالجائزة للمرة الثانية، بعدما توج بها سابقًا في موسم 2017-2018.

وعبر “تويتر” نشر حساب ليفربول الرسمي تغريدة للإعلان عن فوز صلاح بالجائزة، وعلّق: “لاعب العام في إنجلترا من رابطة المحترفين الإنجليزية، تهانينا محمد صلاح”.

وفي تغريدة أخرى علّق ليفربول: “لاعب العام في إنجلترا من رابطة المحترفين للمرة الثانية لـ محمد صلاح”.

ثم لفت ليفربول النظر لفوز محمد صلاح بالحذاء الذهبي لموسم 2021-2022 وأفضل صانع ألعاب للموسم ذاته، وعلّق: “مستحقة تمامًا”.

وقد تفوق صلاح على زميليه ساديو ماني وفيرجيل فان دايك، بالإضافة لفوزه على حساب المنافسين الآخرين كيفين دي بروين لاعب وسط مانشستر سيتي، والنجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو لاعب مانشستر يونايتد، وهاري كين مهاجم توتنهام. 

Anguissa could be set for Fulham exit

Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa could be set to leave Craven Cottage this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Birmingham Live, who claim that the 25-year-old’s omission from Marco Silva’s matchday squad for the Cottagers’ Championship opener against Middlesbrough on Sunday could be a result of the transfer speculation surrounding the Cameroon international.

The report goes on to state that both Aston Villa and Arsenal are thought to have an interest in the defensive midfielder, while Everton and Valencia are also reported to be keeping a close eye on the situation of the former Olympique Marseille star, with the latter going as far to make a number of approaches to Fulham.

Fulham fans will be gutted

While the Fulham hierarchy appear intent on retaining the services of Anguissa, having already turned down multiple bids for the midfielder this summer, the fact that the 25-year-old was left out of the matchday squad for the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough last weekend would not appear to bode well for fans of the club who are hoping the player sticks around.

And, the Craven Cottage faithful will easily be forgiven for wanting their side to keep hold of the midfielder beyond the summer, as it would appear as if Fulham’s chances of securing an immediate return to the top flight this season would be considerably greater with Anguissa in the side.

Indeed, over his 36 Premier League appearances last term, the £22.5m-rated man made an average of 1.6 interceptions, 2.2 tackles, 0.4 clearances and won a whopping 7.3 duels per game.

He also impressed in a creative capacity, providing three assists and creating four big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 0.8 key passes per game.

These returns saw the man Scott Parker dubbed a “superb” player earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 6.91, ranking him as Fulham’s 10th-best performer in the top flight of English football.

As such, it would indeed appear as if the west London side’s chances of promotion would be improved by keeping the £70k-per-week man, however, after the midfielder was left out against Boro, Fulham fans could well find themselves left gutted about the 25-year-old’s departure in the not too distant future.

TJD-RJ reduz pena de Luis Fabiano por expulsão contra o Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco conseguiu reduzir a pena do atacante Luis Fabiano por conta da expulsão contra o Flamengo, pela quarta rodada da Taça Rio, no dia 26 de março. Em julgamento de recurso do Cruz-Maltino, nesta quinta-feira, o pleno do TJD-RJ passou a punição de quatro para duas partidas, que já foram cumpridas.

O Fabuloso tinha sido suspenso por quatro jogos por causa de atitudes na partida contra o Rubro-Negro contra o árbitroLuis Antônio Silva dos Santos. Na ocasião, ele peitou o juiz e reclamou após ser expulso. Assim, elefoi condenado pelo TJD-RJ a dois jogos pelo artigo 250 (ato hostil, que prevê de um a três jogos de gancho) e dois pelo 258 (conduta contrária à disciplina ou à ética desportiva, suspensão de uma a seis partidas).

Luis Fabiano cumpriu duas partidas. A primeira foi a suspensão automática contra o Boavista, na quinta rodada do segundo turno, enquanto a segunda foi contra o Fla, pela semifinal.

Graças a um efeito suspensivo, o atacante teve condições de jogo na final da Taça Rio contra o Botafogo, na qual marcou seu primeiro gol pelo Vasco, e na semifinal do Carioca contra o Fluminense. Contra o Tricolor, porém, ele não conseguiu ajudar na derrota por 3 a 0.

You will see me batting up the order – Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni says India will be looking to score above five runs an over in the middle overs of the Asia Cup, set to start on June 24 in Pakistan

Mahendra Singh Dhoni says India will be looking to score above five runs an over in the middle overs of the Asia Cup, which starts on June 24 in Pakistan. He also said he would bat up the order to avoid the sort of collapse that happened in the recent Kitply Cup final against Pakistan, where they lost wickets at regular intervals and ended up 25 runs short when chasing 316.”In the middle overs it is important to keep scoring at 5 to 5.5 runs per over at least till the 40th over without losing many wickets,” said Dhoni before India’s departure for the ninth edition of the Asia Cup. “[In Bangladesh] we did well in the league games but in the final we had a good run rate but lost wickets. Yuvi [Yuvraj Singh] was going well but the lack of an experienced partner didn’t help us,” Dhoni said, admitting his gamble of sending Suresh Raina ahead of him didn’t go well and that he would not repeat the same mistake again.India have done reasonably well in the middle overs recently: in the last 13 games – starting with the CB Series earlier this year – they have scored at the rate of 5.01 between the 21st and 40th over, and have averaged 34.88 runs per wicket, losing 34 wickets in those overs. While they scored at a good rate during the league matches of the Kitply Cup, Dhoni singled out the loss of wickets at regular intervals during Pakistan’s 25-run win in the final as the main cause for defeat.”You will see me batting up the order,” he said in response to the matter.It has been 13 years since India last won the Asia Cup but Dhoni believed that with a few changes they can clinch victory this year. Instead of resting on the laurels of the CB Series triumph in March or the formidable performances by most of his Asia Cup team-mates in the Indian Premier League, Dhoni said the focus was on coming back from another final loss to Pakistan.”It is not about what has happened in the past,” he said. “We will win more matches than lose if we play to our potential and our capability. If you want to be exceptional side you have to learn from mistakes.”Gary Kirsten, India’s coach, echoed Dhoni’s sentiments and said that winning the event was one of the goals the team had set for itself as part of the plan for the next year.India have won the Asia Cup four times, the most by any team, but their last triumph came in 1995.

Keith Downie drops Newcastle transfer update

Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie has dropped a Newcastle United update that is sure to leave Steve Bruce buzzing.

What’s the story?

While the Magpies are closing in on the signing of Joe Willock from Arsenal on a permanent deal, it appears they have received a significant windfall from a player they let go a couple of years ago.

Former Newcastle academy graduate Adam Armstrong saw his move to fellow Premier League side Southampton confirmed, and Downie has revealed the positive implications it has for Bruce and Newcastle.

Writing on Twitter, he said: “Southampton agree a fee with Blackburn for striker Adam Armstrong. Newcastle to net 40% of the profit from their £1.8m sale three years ago. Personal terms not expected to be a problem.”

Bruce will be buzzing

It was only a few months ago back in May that reports had suggested Bruce had been informed by the Newcastle hierarchy that he would have a transfer kitty of less than £10m to work with this summer.

It was even suggested that the budget ruled out any potential chance of signing Willock permanently, unless the Magpies cashed in one of their prized assets.

But now, with the club close to sealing a deal for Willock, the good news doesn’t seem to end there.

Confirmation of Armstrong’s switch to St Mary’s sees the Tyneside club net a very healthy sum of money as part of the 40% clause that Downie claims was inserted into the deal to sell him in the first place.

With reports claiming that the fee Saints are paying Blackburn to be in the region of £15m, and Newcastle having initially sold him for £1.7m, the Magpies stand to make a fee in the region of £5m for Armstrong.

While the striker’s departure from St James’ Park may not have gone down too well with supporters, the fact they’ve made a good chunk of money on him years later, and at a time when they could desperately do with the cash to strengthen their own squad, is sure to have Bruce delighted.

That extra bit of money could be crucial in landing another signing after Willock.

Meanwhile, Newcastle could sign a dream partner for Joe Willock in this star…
