Just been looking at the stats on my YouTube channel, 76,710 views on all my videos! Many thanks for looking in and watching the videos. It can be frustrating sometimes and very time consuming but these figures make it worthwhile. I just wish there was a quicker and easier way to do it! Once again thank you and for those that haven't seen it, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ8sv45GDysq5teJBjfASnQ
Just watched the 3-0 win over Burnley from 1982. Sun shining down on a packed Oakwell (including a full west stand!),Glavin in imperious form scoring a brace and dominating midfield, Parker in great form getting the third. Happy days,what a side we had then. Hopefully our current bunch of youngsters can go on to emulate them in the next couple of years
I think we all genuinely appreciate the effort you've made to upload these videos to YouTube and save them 'for posterity'. It's a brilliant contribution to this board - good on you. I wonder if there are others out there who have videos that you don't have that could be added as well. P.S. - I've subscribed too.
what a glorious day in 1982, almost 40 years ago( unreal), Alan Birch was a great player that season, remember him getting sent off when we lost at home to Leicester near end of season he was crying on way off with frustration and rumours of the board not wanting us to go up to DIVISION 1 were rife
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981–82_in_English_football you can see here the table, we should have gone up that year
https://www.11v11.com/teams/barnsley/tab/matches/season/1982/ blummin Linekar scored first, I was at Grimsby away and we was 2 nil up at half time
I always blamed one result on our not going up. Losing 0-1 at home to Norwich late in the season was key. Those three points would have taken us above them and up to the First Division
Notts County solidly in the first division. And now they're hoping just to get back into the football league through the playoffs.
Just been watching the 98/99 season highlights. Didnt realise just how little I remember of the season! Certainly didn't remember Scott Jones being so dangerous from free kicks. Couple of cracking strikes in there
