BFCST Update: Hex Sponsorship

Whilst I'm in broad agreement with most of your post I do want to express a different opinion on the wantaway players. Callum Brittain has 'wantaway' inserted and is criticised for having the heart of a pea for speaking out about the ineptitude of Schopp and Asbaghi last season and Cauley also gets an insult but Carlton Morris is exempted despite also apparently wanting out. I don't really understand the distinction between those players except for the fact that Brittain and Woodrow struggled last season whereas Morris performed well given the circumstances. Are you suggesting they didn't try because if so, I don't buy that for a moment.

They should all be considered the same imo and get the criticism for jumping ship or all be exempted. And similar re the below, Collins is commended but does that stop if and when he leaves and he then becomes Bradley 'snake in the grass' Collins? Styles isn't playing well, illustrated by a couple of occasions when he got down the side on Saturday only to completely waste the opportunity, but I don't believe he's not trying and I don't think he's being unprofessional. And Helik is injured so I don't know how he could be similarly labelled.

And btw, if they'd all surprised us and said they wanted to stay and get us back up, we'd almost certainly have been trying to get them to leave to fill the financial hole we're in.

 

I love that you two are still talking football amongst all this

 

Yes the worrying thing is that hopefully they’ll get dumped but it’s going to be about the prejudice nonsense the leading lights spout and not simply because it’s a scam which could fleece Barnsley fans desperate enough to buy into it.

 

Bl00dy hell what have I missed here ?
What’s happening like

 

I hadn't until it was posted on here.

But still, the point stands. Barnsley football club cant police the world and certainly not twitter.
Barnsley FC can't be responsible for the fan in front of me that made a comment to a steward at Millwall away before the lockdown. Was it December time?

If people feel a comment not right then report it to whoever. Be it Twitter or whoever at the New Den.

 

I was trying to think how this deal could be any worse. How about if the club announces that not only have we agreed the sponsorship deal, we also invested all the money from the sales of our players into Hex, because then we’ll have 10 times that amount to spend in January!

 

Really? You never heard of clubs being fined based on the actions of their fans?

 

Ah but will any of the selling clubs be happy to accept payment in Hex?

 

Honestly JamDrop, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments re Hex in this thread and don't have much to add. But I feel I should now say I'm actually saddened by the whole thing and how badly it reflects on the club and the CEO as ultimately the person responsible. I've been critical of Khaled in the past but wouldn't wish such a calamitous decision on him or indeed anyone else. And the abuse and inssuts fans are getting is frankly disgusting.

I'm also saddened by the comments Higgy has made this afternoon. Shaking my head in disbelief.......

 

Yes they can, as part of the terms of the club's participation in the league cover the behavior of the fans in attendance. Fines, points deductions and worse can and have been levied against the club(all clubs) if fans misbehave.

And as for policing Twitter, we're not asking them to. We're* asking them to not to taint our beloved club by doing business and associating with shady businesses or individuals. That is well within the clubs control.

*By "we". I mean fans who class having morals as being more important than what happens for 90 minutes on a football pitch. I also said this the past few years when The Investment Room was paying us. I mean, if you sell your soul for a few extra "better" players, where do stop? At what point do we draw the line and say "this is wrong"?

 

Sorry @wolvestyke I wasn't clear enough, and thanks for raising. I stand by my comments on Brittain, I think it was clear he had a bad attitude last season, to me at least. To begin with, he criticised Schopp (understandable to an extent), and i genuinely thought that his interview with the Chron(?) was going to spur him on to rally the troops. Instead, his performances didn't change, he seemed to always look to others to blame, and this continued when Asbaghi came in. He sulked, played poorly, blamed others and sulked somemore. Then Blackburn came in for him and he couldn't wait to be out the door. No love lost for me. I know it was difficult circumstances, and i don't blame him for wanting to play Champ football (i stand by my 'wantaway' comment though, i think he jumped at the first chance, and I do think he has the heart of a pea). As for Cauley, I think it was the time for him to leave, in part because of the 'come-and-sit-up-here' mob. I wasn't clear on that, i was having a sly dig at those that used to shout that, not Cauley himself. Cauley was a great guy in my eyes, and he just had a very frustrating season last year, dogged by injuries and poor performances, but it wasn't for lack of trying. As for Carlton, i don't hold him up as being above the rest, I just think he was probably the most marketable in light of his performances last season (he stood out in a very poor team). All three tried, I don't deny that.

If Styles, Helik and Collins go, I won't blame them. There will be no criticism from me. All have been great servants to our club. My comments in response to Juddy was to say, i was fully expecting the squad to be 'decimated', but it hasn't been. But people will still use that word to describe the situation as an ever-growing stick to beat the board with. I'm a glass half-full guy, and I'm grateful to all players that put the effort in for the shirt. But those that sulk when the chips are down and blame others, i couldn't give a toss when they drive out the Grove Street car park, because i'd rather they sulked elsewhere.

 

Seriously?

 

I'll say bye now, you'll not be around much longer.

 

Quick question. There are a lot of people who want the club to show strong principles in boycotting Hex even if it is detrimental to us.

would the same people show strong principles in boycotting some games if the club stays with Hex.

Just wondered if there is any hypocrisy in the stance. Just a question.

 

Please make it stop !!!!!!!!!

 

I’ll run to the teacher myself if you’re condoning that.

I don’t care what reasons or excuses you have, what limitations or conditions - there is no explanation that would deem it suitable for you to continue to post on public forums whilst you are posting in the manner and tone in which you do.

Loko, Gally, I plead. Consider this strongly.

 

If action isn’t taken that may be something I’d consider yes.

Though in the immediate future I appreciate there may well be legal complexities. I await the next thing to come out of the club.
