A few more thoughts on yesterday at Leeds..

The linesman who ran the line just ahead of us Tarn supporters. Worst performance from a linesman that I've witnessed in 26 years as a football supporter. The bloke didn't flag once for offside. And I'm not on about 'marginal' calls, I'm talking 20 ******* yards offside. Seriously. McCormack was twice so far offside he may as well have been sat behind the goal with the morons. But the lino was so far behind play it was unreal. However, how the referee couldn't tell they were offside either I'll never know.


The atmosphere. Absolute gold. How many of us were there, 1,000 or summat? We created a right racket.

Marching on Together the scum would sing, only to be shouted down by a variety of Jimmy Savile related songs.

Oh Bobby Hassell reverberating around Bellend Road. Walking in a Wilson Wonderland could be heard back in Bradford. A passage of play first half where we kept the ball for over a minute led to Ole's and a brief rendition of Brazil. Du Du Du, Lewin Nyatanga. You're Only Here To See The Barnsley. Don't Sell McCourt got an airing. Jason Jason. We Support Our Local Team. Don't Worry About A Thing. Danny Wilson's Red and White Army. England's Number One (after the umpteenth time the scum did the old 'you're **** aaaaaargh' whenever Butland took a goal kick). Didn't that 'chant' die out in the early 90's? Saying that, the scum fans are still living in that decade. Piss ants.
It was a pleasure to be a part of it. Non stop support for Danny and the players. Just hope we can replicate that at fortress Oakwell.
My favourite moments though were Danny related. We were singing the Wilson Wonderland song, and he stuck his thumb up to us. Then came the obligatory 'Danny Danny give us a wave' which he duly did. Didn't get another one though. We never did in the 90's either. Classic Wilson.
And then at full time, he stood just left of the tunnel and applauded us all after the players had departed. Sent shivers down my spine.


It felt like my Barnsley again yesterday.

 

Noticed you weren't happy with the 6 minutes of additional time Whitey, haha.

Made me laugh when Hassell stood up to MCCormack. Good to see.

 

"Six ******* minutes?!"

 

Let's face it Whitey who does know the off side rule these days?

 

"It felt like my Barnsley again yesterday."

Good line Whitey...

 

The Pederson drone got a quick go too plus 'we are the barnsley boys'. Was nice to have a bit of variety for a change. Not sure about the Paddy's wife one though and certainly didn't join in the Saville ones.

 

Whats the paddys wife one go like?

 

I can't remember the exact words, seemed to imply she gets about a bit though from the bits of it I caught.

 

"She's here, she's there. She's every ******* where Kenny's wife, Kenny's wife"

"Kenny, where's your wife? Kenny, Kenny where's your wife?"

Good laugh, that was.

 

Hilarious
