Sometimes you think you’re doing some one a ‘solid’ as it were but then it kinda get’s unexpectantly ugly real quick. You may recall way back last year sometime when I posted the response I got from a mate of mine, Dingo Dave, on the concept of 20/20 cricket. It wasn’t pleasant to say the least.
Look Dingo is pretty English despite the recent operation and one of the things about Dingo is his one-eyed support (other than a brief teenage flirtation with Wigan that he’ll deny) a Wimbledon ‘Don’s supporter. Apparently the only team in the English Leagues that got demoted so much that it is the only team to move to another city and rebadge itself. Now known as the Milton Keynes Dons… who ironically are also not doing so well. Dave has never quite recovered or forgiven… and now likes to bask in the Don’s rich history…. anyhooo I thought he might enjoy a video clip of the Top 50 Football Goals and this was the series of responses I received in return.
After a minute of Dingo rec’ing the link:
DingoDave || sorry, I can’t go past 49…….it’s a goal against Wimbledon…….BASTARDS !
About an hour passes and then –
DingoDave || and goal 46 is against Wimbeldon…..goddamit…..I’m sensing a trend…….
Four minutes pass…
DingoDave || I don’t ‘king believe it……..36 is against Wimbledon !
I’m not sure I can take much more……
Ten minutes pass…
DingoDave || And 22……. I need a lie-down……
Close to an hour passes without a word so -
DarrenSaturday || so Dave…. the Don’s goalkeepers must have really sucked back in the day.
within a small number of minutes…
DingoDave || everyone can get rooted. toerag! plank! twat!
I’m told by a mutual colleague, Desperate Dirty Dana that Dingo closed his laptop firmly with both hand, got up from his desk, swooped his keys and what not from his desk, and without a word started his weekend early. That’s football for you.
Do you know what is even worse ?
MK Dons are now top of Division 2 (I think that is what it is called nowadays, although it could be the Tampax League or the Durex Division depending upon who paid the most for the soul of football this year) and it looks like they are going to be promoted up a division. The Bastards !
They have a new manager, Paul Ince, ex-Manchester United and England player, who in his first go in management is doing rather well. Let’s hope he gets poached by some money wielding, mobbed-up, Russian oligarch to manage Moscow Dynamo Engine Workers FC and leaves MK Dons to slowly sink beneath the waves, as the new and improved Wimbledon AFC rise, phoenix-like, to take their rightful place in the upper echelons of football……..HURRAH !
I have a dream……..
Dingo! Welcome to Voodoologic — I’ve heard much about you, some of it not even libelous…
I don’t understand, why would it be bad for the MKDons to go up a division? Or is it a matter of preferring they stay in a division in which it looks like they’re doing damn well?
I ask because I like soccer, but I don’t pretend to understand how it operates.

What you fail to understand is that the Dons ceased to be the Dons when they got moved and became the MK Dons…no one wants the MK Dons to do well – especially those people who used to like the Dons…
The Dons were one of those teams that everybody loved and their fans were particularly fond of them (it’s a recognised psychiatric disease in Wimbledon – DDD (Don doting disorder)). Nobody loves the MK Dons, not even their fans (which I will point out contains only 0.0082% of the original Dons fans).
The Dons had a soft spot in most football fans hearts a bit like QPR and the spurs have.
On an interesting note I used to work with a lady whose nephew was one of the MK Dons strikers until about two years ago when he got old (35) and retired (then they started to do well by coincidence)
