That game is without doubt, THE most mental away day I've ever been to. Those that were there will know what I mean...
Apart from the last few minutes that has got to be one of the very worst performances by any Barnsley side in the last 500 years or more. WE WERE APPALLING !!! And that's being kind.
What a day. Minibus tyre blowout on M42. Brother driving. Did a right torville n Dean. Changed wheel. I took over driving. Reversed up sliproad further on.(traffic stood) Got to parking. (School I think). Bobby comes up says " no booze av yer lads" .. " No officer" was reply. Bus reeked on it. due to spillages when doing said torville n Dean. What can I say about the match. Well we literally got battered for 85 minutes. Danny got the most abuse I've ever heard. Losing 1-0. Scored 2 in last 5 minutes. Glad. But if I'd been a Bromsgrove fan absolutely gutted.
From away end he was playing in midfield. Danny Wilson is a W****r is a w****r, not heard that sung to a Barnsley player since ray mchale
Worst I've ever heard directed at one of our own, ******* hammered from the first minute onwards .....sithi.
I know loads who bought fake tickets, they got em in pubs before game , or you had to climb those trees to watch it .
Possibly the worst ever performance,merciless tirade against Danny,the man who collapsed and died in the main stand and the portaloos.Never to be forgotten day watching the Reds.
That match was the turning point for Danny as I remember. He’d been mostly awful so far, Then he started showing just what he could do after that. When he first came he thought he was a Glenn Hoddle trying to spray 30 and 40 yards passes all over. After this match it as though the penny had dropped and he got back to doing what he was good at. Breaking up play often winning the ball with tigerish tackles and then passing to someone who was more creative.
Redders played from start according to you tube. (Dare not watch it again) and bloody hell. I don’t think I’d chose any of today’s players over that 13 that played.
