Penalities

Afternoon all.

1st time post. I've watching Barnsley since the late 70s, I think a game where we lost 4-3 Exeter is an early memory. Anyway enough 'that was your life', I can see everyone is waiting for the transfer window to explode but while we wait I have a question.. I was watch Chelsea v Naahritch last night and I was wondering.. When was the last time Barnsley lost a shoot out? I can't remember them losing many at all. Any answers?

 

Vs Oldham, JPT 14/15 I think. Only one I ever remember us losing (supported since 98/99)

 

Blackpool away is one I remember. Paul Futcher's penalty was so weak it wouldn't have gone in even if the goalkeeper had been sent off before he took it.

 

Welcome.
A proper supporter is one who, having witnessed the Exeter debacle first hand, continues to pledge their allegiance to the Oakwell cause. I take my hat off to you, sir - that game still gives me nightmares.

No idea about the penalties question - sorry.

 

were we 3 0 up too?

 

I'm sure we lost to Wigan in about 92/93.

 

We were. At half-time, just to rub salt into it.
The only positive is that all the goals went in the same net, so we all had a bloody good view.

 

Cant remember that much about that Exeter game tbh, just people shaking their heads. Must be a childhood trauma thing. I do have clearer memories of Huddersfield away lost 1-0, again late 70s. I was sat behind a corner flag, freezing. Not even sure if I was in the Barnsley end.

 

Yep , 3 nil up at half time , it took some throwing away but we managed it

 

yes i was as that game,my 1st game was v cambridge a friday night 3 2 win.

 

Cant remember that one, though a 2-1 home win against Cambridge sticks in my mind. I think John Saunders grabbed a goal with a backwards header, can't recall much more than that. Same season,76/77. Looking now at Wiki, I'm reminded how much of a fortress Oakwell was back then: played 23, won 16, drew 5, lost 2. What we wouldn't give for that now, eh?

 

Was that when one of theirs scored a hat trick in 10 minutes or summat? All the goals at Ponty End.

 

tony kellow?

 

Les Bradd comes to mind but I'm probably wrong

 

Yes , I believe it was & it was painful to watch

 

wasn't that game the one where the Tv cameras were poised ready to capture the action of bsly making history our longest run without defeat...3 nil up and lost 4-3 ....tuesday night I think....i know I was there....or is age and poor memory letting me down

 

Even the usual post-match "Iley Out" chanting was affected. We just all walked away in a daze, wondering what the hell had happened. With only a couple of games left, the result killed off our promotion hopes, while Exeter, who were on a flipping good run, went up. Those were the days... proper football, proper players, proper pies.

 

Proper pies , would they have been Albert Hirsts ?

 

I can't remember the cameras for that game, though I remember something similar at the start of 78/79 where we the opening 5 games and then Football Focus turned up to watch us and we lost 2-1 at home to Torquay.
Strange how these traumas stick in the memory forty years on... and yet I've no idea what I had for breakfast this morning .

 

No idea, mate... Pastry on the outside, meat in the middle is as much as I can remember.
