I deleted Twitter and instagram about 3 months cos I was fed up seeing and readings folks ***** day in day out, I occasionally have a quick flick back on instagram as a few people contact me via that method but it’s far better than logging on daily
In fairness, it's more that the 21 words that Conway granted to Daniel Stendel. On this occasion, nothing further was needed than the statement released.
The statement without action has no meaning. It has the same weight and impact as the announcements about the pope song which have been going on for 2 (maybe 3?) years now and are openly mocked by those doing the chanting. The time for words has long gone, it's time for swift action
I would much prefer our fans sing about loving Barnsley rather than hating Leeds and would also prefer songs sung about supporting someone rather than the pathetic bile being sung especially of late.
Moronic, nasty fans should be rooted out. They tar us all and give all Barnsley folk a bad name. They basically dishonour us and the town. However, the club needs to be careful in ejecting the right morons. The 'singers' of this song need careful watching and monitoring to make sure the correct morons are booted out. I wouldn't like to think that I would be kicked out for being in the next seat to a group of these idiots. They need filming and pinpointing really accurately. A steward using a broad brush wouldn't necessarily be fair. Just saying.
Absolute freedom of speech has never existed (in modern era) and nor should it. This chant is just stupid, brain dead, insensitive and plain unnecessary. I wonder if the chant was about their own family member they'd feel the same way.
You're right but if the club have actually been doing what they said they have then surely they've got about 40 matches worth of evidence of the pope song so far to be able to accurately identify people.
Let's face it the football league and premiership venality have changed us from a regular second tier club to a third tier one so let's embrace it and what should be our principles. If it means losing two or three hundred paying customers in order to retain our moral compass then identify them and f**k them off for good.
I have to confess then that I have been regularly caught on Oakwell cameras singing: “Oh Julie Anne Quay you are the love of my life Oh Julie Anne Quay oh will you be my wife Oh Julie Anne Quay I love Kid Super too.” I am up before the Magistrates next week. But am pleading not guilty to stalking.
Yeah but she's got you on her ring doorbell standing outside her front door singing it too. And dressing up as Toby tyke was a bit weird.
Yes I tried an Australian accent, then a Miami Dolphins supporters accent, then my own Kid Super accent (I think it needed a scouse tracksuit to supplement this but I couldn't find one to fit), before going back to base with a Hemsworth/Brierley border twang with a bit of Seth Armstrong thrown in. She called the police, as you would.
Too busy searching old ladies handbags. (One steward found a Kitchen sink. Let em through) The club have to go through these procedures to satisfy the efl they are doing their utmost to cut out offensive chanting and Illegal objects brought into the ground. A pain, but the idiots in society force the issues.
Said it b4. Young uns are easily led by their peers. Thinking it's funny. Pinpoint the elder element as they are unlikely to be dissuaded. Police went into schools a few yrs ago and stopped a lot of the younger element causing issues. Visiting their parents etc. Older ones banned. Never heard the word slag used in the stadiums btw. Is it a twatter thing ?. Terrible songs were sang in my younger days. Harry Robert's. Who's the b'std in the black, etc. Some on here may have joined in. So whilst not condoning owt. The ringleaders need the bans and others warned as above. Trying to throw out 100 + kids and adults ain't gonna work. Snatching a few of the elder element, might. But morons attack the stewards so another issue to overcome.
They don't need to be physically chucked out. Once identified all it needs is a sweetly worded letter from the club advising them that their presence at Oakwell is no longer required or welcome. Preferably signed by Julie Anne Quay, Director.
