    Honestly don’t remember that one Jay. So can’t really comment. And heard him on occasion say how much he enjoyed the song. As he said it gave him that bit more impetus. And most of, if not all Barnsley fans respected him for it. And look back at the time with fondness. Although it did cost us a few goals. :mad:

    One of the things I detest about modern day football is not just the acceptance of, but the actual celebration of “shithousery”. The fact that it even has a name is bad enough.

    What Winnall did was really poor.
    One person threw a soft toy at him in jest. Some others were pretty nasty to him pre match and at the match. His reaction was to goad every single Barnsley fan, player and member of staff. The kids sitting near me in the family stand didn’t deserve that. They only ever sang his name. The staff who developed Winnall as a player didn’t deserve it either.
    Was he entitled to celebrate his goal? Absolutely. There were 5500 Wednesday fans he could have celebrated with. He deliberately chose to alienate every Barnsley fan instead. I think that speaks volumes about him as a person.
    The sooner goading fans is an automatic card the better.

    It's good to have a pantomime villain and we've had some good ones over the years. Dean Windass got you fat ******* chants and put the ball under his shirt. At Donny our away end was singing the same to Billy Sharp when Donny had a corner in front of us so he walked in to the net and pretended to start eating it. All a bit different to going all ten ton giving it large.
