Swansea at home under ash bag The opponent were turgid, laboured & dull Barnsley were timid, lame & feeble It was a pathetic spectacle Anti-entertainment from both teams
Our game plan worked to a tee. It just didn't take into account them scoring. With better players Asbaghi might have come off.
0-0 v Brentford can't remember season. Left after 10 mins. Saw my mates in Court House after game and they said my decision was vindicated.
Watford away under Keith Hill. I seem to remember him saying afterwards that even he wanted to leave early, or something along those lines.
The game against Norwich when we lost 2 0 at home and got relegated. Could have been end of 2015/16. Absolutely pathetic we went down without so much as a whimper
Years ago we were in the East Upper watching Barnsley play out the most boring 0-0 draw possible. At that time, there was a cricket match going off on the Co-op sports ground ( Now the academy) which fans in the upper tier took to watching. Someone was clean bowled and there followed a huge cheer from the East Stand. The rest of Oakwell must have wondered what was going on. The match was so bad that I can't even remember anything about the game or who we were playing.
Away at Nottingham Forest under Morais - we still had a realistic chance of survival if we`d won that game and we just laid down and surrendered. The supporters were magnificent though.
I seem to remember being f.cking furious against Milwall one January. Lost 3-0, freezing, terrible. Football is rubbish.
Man City under Flitcroft , total capitulation, not one decent tackle put in on a City player , changing shirts at half time after the team had been swanning about in Lancashire all week
Take your pick from numerous games during the Parkin/Hodges administration season. Northampton at home on news year day being a particularly strong candidate..
Barnsley 0 Brentford 0 12 November 1977 A game I remember well, because it was a couple of days after my 16th birthday and I was looking forward to a good game and a win. Instead it was a dreary, rain-soaked borefest. The only highlight came in the second half when Peter Price missed an absolute sitter, scooping the ball over the bar from less than three feet. The soggy walk home put the tin lid on the whole sorry encounter.
Charlton (I think) at home. Lost about 5-0, had at least one sent off (although Kennedy saw red so every cloud), and it just about sealed relegation under whoever was manager. Hill maybe. And I slated the lino for sending our bloke off at 4 down and he smiled and put his thumb up.
Grimsby away a few years back. Both centre halves off the field in first thirty minutes, one sent off, one carried off. Rankin, on loan from Barnsley, scored against us and celebrated wildly in front of the Barnsley dug out. Reds fans fighting with stewards as they wanted to leave before half time and stewards refusing to open gates. What joy.
I'm loving the very obvious lost of track of time in some of these. 'few years back' aka two decades.
