Funniest comical moment you have seen at oakwell

Not in the playing but summat thats gone off.

Thought it was pretty funny when Fallon was subbed for Plymouth and when the ponty clapped him he clapped back and went into home mode and sat in the barnsley dugout.

Also di wa.n.kio was quality. Wish that game was on dvd.

1978/79 match at home to promotion rivals Aldershot

One of the Aldershot players committed a nasty foul on, of all people, Alan Little. All the Barnsley fans shook their heads and tutted, knowing what was to follow. In all honesty, so did the Aldershot player. Little didn't complain, just received his medical treatment (sponge soaked in ice cold water) and carried on playing. For the rest of the match, the Aldershot player kept a relatively safe distance from Little (usually a minimum of forty yards!). Unfortunately for the lad, as well as losing the game 2-0, he got his bearings wrong a couple of minutes from time and Little pounced. He kicked him up in the air and almost into orbit. It took him about thirty seconds before he hit the ground (not really)! We all expected Little to be given a red card. Instead, the referee bent over the almost dismembered player and simply shrugged his shoulders! None of his team mates remonstrated with Little, either!

I do believe that was my first ever Reds match! An own goal and a twice taken Derek Bell penalty? Both at the away end? Then we got promoted, which I thought happened every year or two until I grew up.

 

I remember us playing Lincoln City in a pre-season game, me and my mates stood at the end of the brewery stand. I needed to go to the loo which was the old brick one at the back of the stand. As i was half way there the ball bounced in front of me so i caught it and carried on into the loo with it tucked under my arm. I did what one does in the loo and made my way back. When i got to the top of the steps the game was still stood waiting for the ball.

 

when i had a season ticket a few seasons ago in the east stand, they use to be a old bloke always stood up from the first row and waving the players on, then there was this lad who used to run the full length of the eaststand if the ball ended up there..
was some characters there!! especially the bloke at the side of me who always arrived 10mins late without fail

 

I used to appologise though!!!

Versus Crewe Alexandra, 29th January 1965. First of all, the reds trot out with red shirts and white shorts as usual. Then out trot Crewe in white shirts and red shorts. Then out trots the ref, spots the colour clash and sends off the entire Crewe team to change into white shorts, which I believe they borrowed from us. So the kick-off is delayed by around five minutes. It was dreadful game, which we were losing 0-1, when Dick Hewitt tried a long-range belter, which was heading for the top corner. The Crewe keeper was Willie Mailey, who was only around 5'9". He was not tall enough to grab the ball, so he tried to punch it. Accounts vary as to whether the ball went over the bar and Mailey punched the bar by mistake, or whether he punched the ball up against the bar from underneath. Either way, the bar fell off on top of the keeper. After the players and officials had gathered round and freed keeper from net, a guy in overalls and carrying a step-ladder emerged from the tunnel and proceeded to nail the bar back in place. The ref inspected it, decided it was ok and off we went again. The game was 15-20 minutes late in finishing and what I liked was, when we got home, me mam said, "What happened to the result? The BBC announced it as 'Barnsley versus Crewe Alexandra .... late kick-off." If only they knew. Incidentally, Dave Whelan of Wigan Athletic/JJB fame was left back for Crewe that day, having been released the season before by Blackburn. Ahhhh! Those woodbines come drifting along again!

 

I remember when the Ponty End starting chanting if Paddy Kenny's wife takes it up the arse. He just turned round and nodded his head then started laughing!

 

I remember during a minutes silence, not that long ago, somebody forgot to tell the half time draw bloke what was happening so for the first thirty seconds he carried on shouting. Finally somebody told him in true football fan fashion to be quiet.

 

I seem to remember a game at Oakwell (think it was in the cup run season), and the referee seemed to be giving everything our way. A surging run forward from Kozluk, and he did quite a comical dive. The referee gave us a free-kick and Kozluk looked at the ponty end with a look of shock and amusement. Quality.

 

Stewart Barrowclough once kicked the ball in my face really hard by the home dugout. I suppose it's about time I saw the funny side and moved on.

 

Another one is when we played Wednesday at Hillsborough and there were 2 female singers at half time doing a few songs. All the Reds fans started booing them and were singing “you're ****, and you know you are“ etc etc.

When their song finished they gave us the v sign, after the match they got arrested by the police for doing it!

 

I remember one match, must have been late 90s, can't remember who we were playing but a few of the away fans jumped and tried to run to the East Stand Lower. Someone in the East Stand lobbed a pie which caught one of them full in the face as he was running, was a cracking shot.

 

The Two fans thats ran on when playing Man u in league cup and Ben Foster tryed to takle them and then he set his mate up who vollyed it into the net

 

D I Wnkio was quality.

One of my favourites was in a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough, opening day I think, the ball went out for a throw near the West Stand and for some reason the whole ground went eerily quiet. Ian Banks somehow managed to choose this exact moment to launch into a foul-mouthed tirade against a ball-boy.

Another good one involving Ian Banks was after the 2-2 draw at Bramall Lane in the FA Cup 5th round. Banks had missed an open net just before half time which would have put us 3-1 up. For some reason he though it would be a good idea to show his face on our supporters bus after the game. Some of the language used was choice to say the least!

 

I remember that match, was so funny!!

Didn't one of 'em shout "fu.ck off" too, and thats why they got arrested?
