    When Barnsley post stuff, sometimes a few people from Pakistan are tagged in it too. It seems they have no affiliation with us whatsoever so just wondering why? More out of curiosity really. Yes I am bored.

    I was wondering the exact same the other day. I thought it was a typo.

    Whitey can clear it up.

    Glad it's not just me then, I was half expecting either no-one to reply or someone to reply and say, "Get a life".

    I'm going to have a guess and it is just a complete guess. That Malik lad has over 60,000 followers. I reckon that somewhere along the line the official club page has started following him or he has started following the club (probably in a span my fashion). Because he's got a lot of followers he is ranked extremely highly rated by the Facebook coding system which then includes him in the 'with' section.

    Google works in a similar way, if a lot of people link to a site (the equivalent of following) then they appear at the top of the search results.

    As I say, just a guess

    Believe it is people tagging themselves in the picture to get more followers.
