Roy's View From... View From Barnsley

[S64 Blade]

If that’s them playing well then it’s a little wonder they’re down at the bottom.

 

[Champagneblade]

Not sure how taking a clever, quick free kick constitutes cheating!

 

[Champagneblade]

Not sure if the United lad posts on here but a very good take, I thought.

Forest are doing well. But let’s see how they do if you take 10 or 11 seniors out. They have 3 or 4 out, but take Spence, Worrall, Johnson, and 2 or 3 more and then have a look how effective they are.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Did anyone else read the line 'Goals change games' in Bruce Forsyths voice?
Just me then.
Good song choice too.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Fair comments. We were shocking first half. If I was barnsley I would have been cursing not getting a 1st half goal, and making it a different match.
Anyway, I'm not and we stepped up 2nd, so all good.
Cheers.

Morning Roygbiv cheers mate

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

The game wasn't a classic by any means. They didn't look shabby but didn't threaten much. That save from Wes could have changed the game from that point but it was a great save. The referee was a bit of a strange one. Early on I thought he allowed a few 50/50s to go when other refs might have pulled up and I don't like the constant stop start nature of games for stuff like that so credit there, but I agree with the time wasting aspect of the comments. He was happy for us to dawdle taking corners for longer than necessary. If that was against us I'd be pissed off. It wasn't, so I'm not.

That Quinoa (that his name??) bloke for them - is he the one we tried signing but got train home when at West ham? He was the stand out for em. I'd be happy for us to go for him in the summer. Won't cost a lot.

Fair comments all in all. They've got Reading next week. Lose that and they're down.

I never knew Barnsley was a 3 syllable word...Every days a school day.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

“Does anyone find it “soul destroying” not having a same town/ city rival?! I’m not sure how I’ve coped with something so traumatic.
Wednesday and Blades fans seem to want a medal just for being in the same city! Same old stuff about us not being their rival. I couldn’t care less. I just support my local team. Unlike my daughters – who support Barnsley having been born in Sheffield.
I dislike Wednesday more than Blades, but in my lifetime i have always considered Wednesday to be the bigger club with more fans.”

If it hadn’t have been for the spelling I would have swore this was Pitsmoor Pig… does he have Parent Trap like twin who he was separated at birth from who received a (slightly) better education?

What about the big Barnsley v South Barnsley Classico...To be resumed next season?

"Thing is Sheff U didn’t play that well but have run out comfortable winner’s we just haven’t got many goals in us especially away from home" "Awful second half ran out of both steam and ideas but competed well enough until just after half time. Overall got what we deserved and lost to the better

Cheers Panchero!

[Hagansbootlaces]

The Sun didn't help? They still pick a team of lads from darn't pit, can't cope with bright lights?

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

Wednesday haven't been bigger for some time. Nonsense comment.

Also, didn't one of these lot claim they'd have bigger away followings than us if they were in the same position? They couldn't even sell out the Bramall Lane lower tier today. Embarrassing support.

They can suck up to the Pigs next season in League 1 anyway.

A lot put off by the cost of £33. Why have we made away fans tickets so expensive? In addition, a lot of their fans are completely hacked off at the way their owners have managed the team and facilities this season.

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

Thanks Roy. Thought their comments fair overall. The match followed a similar pattern to many of their games. Play ok until a goal goes in and then don't react in a positive way. Also, they have conceded a number of goals just after substitutions made. Their owners have got rid of a number of experienced players and they are left with a lot of youngsters with not much experience. Morris was their only threat up front.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Weirdly, whenever I've met a bloke from Barnsley they've been absolutely sound. Maybe it's just football that makes them like this

They are sound. No doubt have their fair share of idiots but haven't we all. They are pretty realistic about their fate and this recent upturn in their results had given them some hope but, as Blades fans well know, it is the hope that kills you.

I appreciate your comment and agree regarding our pricing. My remarks are more directed at the arrogance of the Barnsley fans who dared criticise our away support and suggest theirs has greater potential... it's £33 granted, so maybe £8 more expensive than elsewhere. But we're down the road from them. They'd have made their savings elsewhere to justify the extra.

 

[Auld Reekie Blade]

Cheers Roygbiv. Fair comments from what I saw via the red button. Well, they were until ghe vloset pig got in on the act at the end

 

[wadblade]

Baaarnsley women aspire to look as good as Susan Boyle on a bad day. So they don't have to marry a local coyal miner who murders sparrows for his kestrel.
Fucking dingle wankers.

 

[JayGreen17]

They played well and it Felt like we were going through the motions…says it all.
