Category A prices for everyone and United are taking steps to ensure that no Barnsley fans get in the home ends.

Is it really going to be that bad tempered?

I doubt it very much

Mind you i will be so angry if we play like we did against Donny at home, then yes i will be libel to kill someone :lol:

From United fans, no, probably not. What have we got against Barnsley? They'll view it as a grudge match, a big local derby, a chance to boo Morgan and Howard. For us it's just another shite team with a following of inbreds, lickers and fuckwits.

I love playing the dingles, the away game was epic in and outside of the ground.

Totally agree. What I can never understand about the dingles is when they call us dee-dahs when they pronounce coat = coyat, boat = booert, and coal= coyal.
Obviously I hate the pigs first but these are my second most despised team, then We£ds.:thumbdown:

 

[Blunkett]

Get ready for some weirdo protests from our fans at your place. There'll be the obligatory "Justice For Iain Hume" banner of course, but the best may be some bald caps with stitches drawn on them.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[shorehamview]

............"Justice For Iain Hume" banner......

A free transfer to anybody that isn't Barnsley would be kindest.

How amazing would it be if a massive banner proclaiming "DINGLES" was unfurled across the Kop?

 

[Samantha]

a night without Brownies means I will be there on time, with chance for a pie before kick off.... instead of grabbing it on way in and missing first goal (Blackpool-style).

It'll be a busy game, as people had tickets for it since January.. any Iain Hume chants should simply be drowned out, and ignored. Kozzy should get a big cheer should he be present - and our players should be aware of any practical jokes he's left laying around the place!

I think we should have a forum wip-round to get one made.

 

[Tyke]

all this bollox about the game at oakwell means nothing now its all about the getting 3 points from this one and i have a feeling we could be the team who puts a end to your automatic hopes once and for all

Come on you Dingle's

Then again you might wake up and realise thats about as likely as your shower and wendy getting promoted through the automatics this season.

That's rather tempting fate isn't it?

 

[tenerifeblade]

Its obvious from your avatar, Dingle, that you have an inferiority complex, but inferior to The Pigs? That makes you Very Sad.

What are tickets selling like for this one?

Just hope we ll be able to win this derby at home.

Haven't got a clue... although we might be off down the Lane later to get Reading and Burnley tickets so can ask then for you?

interesting pre-match comments from Kozzy... I can see Mr Davey whacking a big fine on him:

Kozluk is still good friends with Morgan from his days as a Blades player and feels his ex-team-mate will take the inevitable jeers of Barnsley supporters with a pinch of salt.

"The fans are going to be on Morgan's back all night long but he is big enough and ugly enough to put that aside," said Kozluk.

"It won't play on any of our minds, I think it will just play more on the fans' minds.

"At the end of the day, as a fellow professional you have to treat each other with respect – he didn't mean to do it and that's that.

"The fans won't let it lie but as regards the players, it will mean nothing. No professional goes out to hurt another one and we know that's the case."

There's usually a few empty seats around us but we went to pick up a couple of extra tickets for friends on Thursday and they had to settle for two rows back from us. They showed us the seat map thingy they have on the computer and it looked almost sold out (South Stand - BL end, not usually the most fashionable part of the ground). Sell out I reckon.

I think this game has the potential to be a classic. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll resist making a prediction because it will come back to haunt me. :thumbup:

 

[Linz]

Predict a loss for us Daz... it's lucky

EDIT:

Shall we raise an EDM about banning dickheads like this from Bramall Lane?

Their players should go out to break Morgan's legs and also beat up any Sheffield United fan because that obviously gives them a moral high ground over us

 

[Foxy]

Dingles are at it again....

It's just another game **COUGH IAIN HUME**.

REDS assistant manager Ryan Kidd gave his thoughts ahead of the clash with Sheffield United.

Ryan told Barnsley World TV: "We are heading into the game in the same shape as Saturday. Adam Hammill has trained a little and that is a decision we have to make. We have done well in the last three or four matches and Adam has not even trained in that time. It is not really a poser as such but it is a decision we have to make with one eye on the games on Saturday and Monday.

"There will be a little bit of emotion from the last meeting but we have to put that to one side. It is just a football match. We have to be focussed on our own game and try to exploit their weaknesses. Iain Hume has a scar on his head which is plain to see. He will have that for the rest of his life but he wants to move on and play football. We have to move on. It is just a football match with three points at stake. We want those points and we are only concerned about preparing them right for the game.
"We have to be focussed. It will be a charged game and it is a Yorkshire derby. Sheffield United are going for promotion and we need the points for our own battle. There is a lot at stake. We have to keep a lid on the emotions and take care of our own game. I don't know if Iain is going to the game. He has trained with me today but I have not asked him. He would be more than welcome to come if he wanted. A lot has passed since then. It is just another game, just another three points and just a football match.

"It will be tough. Sheffield United are on a good run and we have to make sure that we do not give them any easy chances early on. We do not fear them. We respect them and what they have done but we are on a good run and we are going their in good heart.

"They are a very solid team. They play to their strengths and have a really good energy. They have weaknesses through and, if we are on top of our game, I am sure we can get something from the game. We cannot keep looking at the past. That's history and we were aggrieved with some of the decisions that went against us here last time. They might go for us tomorrow night".

and

SKIPPER Stephen Foster believes the Reds will be looking for three vital points at Bramall Lane tomorrow to move closer to Championship safety.

Stephen told Barnsley World TV: "It was probably a better point for us than Forest at the weekend really. We went a goal up and had a penalty and having a two goal cushion would have put their heads down a bit. It is a point more on the board.

"There is pressure on tomorrow night's game simply because there are three points at stake. Those three points would move us closer to safety and that is all we are looking at.

"I am sure the fans will be passionate about it because of what happened here but it is just another game that we are looking to get three points from. We cannot pay attention to anything else.

"We have been without Iain Hume since that game in November and we have missed him and a person and a player. You cannot sympathise with Chris Morgan really because it was a horrific injury and when you look back at it there was no wonder.

"It is just three points. It is just a game and we just want to win it for that reason. We want three points to move us further up the table and closer to safety".

Tickets are still for sale,somewhat surprisingly, on the Dingles website. I hate Derbies because anything can, and does, happen. Its a massive game both for points and morale after our really disappointing derby games v Donny and Fowls. I am very nervous for this one. Good Luck Blades!!!!

 

[shorehamview]

Simon Davey, Stephen Foster and the rest might well be looking for three points on Tuesday night, but they'll need a fucking big telescope because we're having them.

 

[happyhippy]

I hate night matches. Always have done. I just hope that the lads keep focused on the job in hand. Win this and the pressure eases just a bit ahead of the Reading match, whatever happens tonight at St Andrews.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Good luck Blades. :thumbup:
