Nicknames of people who sit in your vicinity at Oakwell

lovely thread!

you wonder what these odd-bods are like in the work place or at home.

There's a guy in the West Stand who to quote Donny Red has 'issues' - severe??

He seems to think that we have the same ref at every home match and will shout out things like - 'after last week's performance we know what to expect' -- 'we never got anything from thee last match' -- etc.

still I suppose all refs look the same.

 

Has to be the best nickname ever, creases me up every time I read it. Take a bow whoever invented that one.

 

Whenever a former Barnsley player came back with his new team, if they fouled a Barnsley player a wag on the Ponty
would shout the same thing at them every time. I think one time it was Larry May who came back with Wednesday and scythed one of our players down , cue your man " Eh up Larry behave thissen' lad or we weyn't buy thi' back."!

 

Not a Barnsley fan, but I remember back in the good old days when 606 was presented by Danny Baker, and a Brighton fan phoned in about the person who had a season ticket next to him at the Goldstone Ground - an old lady who brought in a four pack of beer, drank the whole lot in the hour leading up to kick off, and then fell asleep for the entire match. Every week.

 

From this thread I'm getting a picture of male weirdos, individuals and groups, in the Ponty, elderly, female and family weirdos in the East and lone wolf psychos in the West.

Where's DJ Fatty Boy when you need him to put this pictorally?

 

See my post earlier....sounds familiar. Same bloke stomped off during the first half against MK Dons.

 

The thread of the year.

 

Photos to names would be good thread....lol

 

Haha sorry mate I missed that. Thought he must have made an impact on more than me and my mates

 

Would love to see ref mans reaction to Willard game again. Any links?

 

Careful with the McLovin/Jobless Harry Potter stuff, didn't "Matchday Drinkers" arse fall out last year when he/they got called out for bullying the lad?

 

Zigga zagga Bill ....lol...a poor man's frank Worthington look alike especially when he didn't have his teeth in...lol

 

One I never forget was one we christened Elvis...sported a teddyboy quiff big lad ...always wanting to fight with oppositions fans.I can remember one night at Stockport when the home fans were giving it loads from the safety of the opposite stand...all the bsly fans are saying what they would do given the chance when all of a sudden Elvis jumped over the wall at the pitch side where we were all stood ,ran full length across the pitch never veered of the halfway line jumps on the opposite wall,threw his arms outward and upwards as he stood there like a star ....paused and then just dove into them all...it was mayem for a couple of minutes then the bobbies arrived followed by the sight of 2 st John ambulance men lifting a lifeless body on to a stretcher ...a body that remain motionless as the ambulance men carried it around the pitch perimeter , until that is they were level with us whereupon Elvis sat up right on the strtcher covered in blood both eyes almost closed and shouts ...weir wor yer ...
Classic

 

I did think when I first contributed to the thread that some may see it as bullying, but it turns out the vast, vast majority of these nicknames are seen as terms of endearment. Well, it seems that way to me, anyway...

 

The bloke we nickname "Bog Trotter" doesn't endear himself to us when we have to get up every time he's caught short.

 

He was Ref Man way before the Liverpool game.

However the post Willard era took him to another level - I remember the following season he literally sprinted down the steps (Merde Tete and I were Row S I think, so that's the best part of 50 steps) in double quick time to berate the referee. He remained at the front of the hoardings for the remainder of the game, storming up and down between corner flag and goal like a mad man shouting at the officials, or to anyone around him that may care to listen, which was the very few..

 

Amazing

Can't be true surely !

 

Merde Tete this could quite easily be spontaneous combustion man?

 

I think we all morphed into Ref Man that day!

I do recall him preaching to those around him after the game. A few were listening that day and nodding sagely in agreement

It was a seminal moment in Ref Mans career
