Funniest comical moment you have seen at oakwell

After our epic win against Chelsea, and Odejayi's stunning performance he got called up for the Nigeria squad during pre-season. We were playing Rotherham in a friendly at Don Valley and as I live in Sheffield I decided to go along and watch (or at least try to - the pitch is miles away!). Anyway, some blokes were sat behind me talking about the call up:

Bloke 1: "T'old Oddjob's been called up to the Nigeria squad apparently"
Bloke 2: "Has he? Well, he had a good game against Chelsea when he wa' up for it"

Cross comes in, open net, Odejayi heads it miles over the bar...

Bloke 1: "NIGERIAN FOOKING ARMY MORE LIKE, YOU USELESS lovely person!"

Ronnie Moore's hat - just that... , ok, not at Oakwell, but still has to be mentioned.

 

I hope those two idiots were banned.

 

Re: Funniest comical moment you have seen at oakwell..Steve Agnew..

not noted for his defensive abilities, decided to come out of the centre circle and tackle the wide right man as he ran down the touch line. Ended up with a challenge similar to Boris Johnson on Maurizio Gaudino at Wembley. Cue hysterical laughter from all round the ground and, even, the referee, who didn't book him.

 

Winnie Campbell when he shat himself and had to leave the field

 

Hope not, only time we looked like scoring..

 

There was a game a good few years ago away at Tranmere (I think), and we were losing.

Every time the ball went out for Tranmere (or whoever) to have a throw, the ball was played back immediately, yet with us it was delayed. The Barnsley crowd started getting frustrated and such, and so the next time the ball went out for our throw about four ended up back on the pitch prompting Chris Morgan to shout "How many ****ing balls do we need?" at the ref.

Got a bit of a cheer from the crowd.

If it's the game I'm thinking of, we won the game 3-2 in the end.

 

I remeber a couple of seasons ago, the opposing side( and I can't remember who) were awarded acorner at the Ponte end.
The player placed the ball, and stepped back to take the kick. In doing so, he took his eyes off the ball, and promptly kicked the corner flag post.

 

Not at Oakwell but many years ago at Halifax...
Cup tie, Tuesday night, pi**ing darn, Shay a quagmire. In those days custom was for a fan to plant a rosette on the centre spot before kick-off (it was a very, very long time ago!).
Out trots Tarn fan, drops rosette in centre and stamps it down, tries to turn - can't move. Up to his ankles in thick mud!
Fat plod ambles across pitch grabs him under shoulders and pulls him out, minus shoe.
Oh and we lost.
Happy days.

 

Two others at Oakwell, more unusual than funny:
Cup tie against Everton in the mid 60s played on compacted snow, pitch marked out with blue paint;
and another evening match aeons ago when Grove St school chimney caught fire and the smoke swirled into t'Well, delaying proceedings until it cleared.

 

a few other odd ones I've just remembered...

....both from the same season I think. Port Vale playing in our away kit, and battering us 3-0.

Hull fans being moved from the open Kop into the Brewery Stand during a very short but torrential rainstorm.

Mel Machin and Ray Harford coming to blows on the touchline when we played Blackburn.

And best of all, but sadly only I and two mates from Uni knew - a lad off my course who was an Oldham fan borrowed a St John's Ambulance uniform and walked straight in as he was too skint to buy a ticket. Sat on a strecher near the Ponty for the whole game, no-one even questioned him. He got the idea off the guy who he borrowed the uniform from who was actually a trained first aider, but would just turn up to any match he wanted wearing his uniform, whether he was on duty or not.

 

Kipper lobbing tiles off the snack bar at back of ponty - everyone stopped watching game and started watching kipper!
I remember billy askew of hull trying to head one of our players several times but kept missing - he looked like the nodding Churchill dog
Not funny for us - 91 we thought we'd got into the play offs and we were announcing the dates ticket details but they hadn't realised that Brighton had scored to take the last place from us - typical Barnsley ??

 

Earlier this year

During the friendly against WBA, I had the following conversation with jedi one:-
jedi one:"Who's the guy wearing the number 23 shirt?"
me:"The one with 'Etuhu' on his back?"
jedi one:"Yeah that's the one"
me:"It's Jacob Mellis"
jedi one:"Thanks, mate".

 

mine's both kipper related.
came out of old supporters club can't remember if it were just after kick off or just after half time but remember kipper throwing tiles off roof and coppers stood watching him.
another was at man city in cup. we behind nets and they'd split tha away following and we saw someone from other end run on pitch and stewards ans coppers were chasing him then we heard fans from other end singing kippers name and he loved it. i was absolutely p1551ng mesen.

 

When we played man city one time and Toby tyke (who used to laik for poggy west end when i did) crawled on all fours along the touchline next to the west stand terrace that we had given them. He then proceeded to **** his leg up and pretend to wee then produced bog roll, wiped his'sen and threw it into the man city fans, nearly causing a riot. Funny as ****!!! ;-)

 

Morgan's own goal with miller in the nets was pretty comedy.

 

I remember that the comments section on their website took a bit of a pounding

After the game as well...... (Un)fortunately for all twinsite.co.uk is now defunct,
