Our so Called Supporters

Reflects the mentality of a lot of football supporters in general though - thick as a brick, every one of them!

 

You don't need to go far to realise why we are so poor at home. I would wager that Steve Bruce's team talk to his Blackpool players on Saturday would have been along the lines: don't let them score early; press them into mistakes on the ball; the longer we stop them playing, the more their supporters will start to get on at them; their heads will drop as a result; they will be there for the taking. Even I could have given that team talk and I would imagine that most opposition managers know it too. The question is: how do we change the Oakwell culture? And who leads the change being made?

 

Let's be honest we've always had a small percentage of fans who's behaviour embarrases the club, the fans and themselves...
It normally happens when we are on TV where someone runs on the pitch...I remember one fan running on during a goal kick and kicking the ball in the net.
I remember fans hurling abuse at Billy Sharp who had lost his child...I remember Chopra being racially abused before he started scoring.

 

Assume you are including yourself in that conclusion?

 

I can imagine the 'we want four chants' were 'gallows humour' and made tounge in cheek. You have to admit that the whole performance on Saturday was farcical and a shambles. If we didn't laugh we could cry

 

Why would you say that?

 

Just because you said they are thick the lot of them ? Not some not a few you said the lot.

 

Because of how much they dominated the first half and could have easily gone in at half time with an handful of goals, his half time team talk will have just been "more of the same" knowing goals would eventually come if they kept playing the same way and knowing how useless we have been all season in the second half.

It would also explain why Blackpool players were back out for the second half a fair while before we were.

 

No you’ve misread my post. I’m not sure why I’m bothering to explain it, but I’ll try.

Durkar Red posted about some idiots near him in the Ponty End chanting we want four when we were 3-0 down. I simply responded to that saying that this “reflected the mentality of A LOT OF football supporters in general”. Not ALL supporters and not all Barnsley supporters.

“A lot” is not the same as “the lot”, is it? Is that clear enough for you?

 

May worries I get that from a lot of but your last sentence said All it’s only semantics anyroard.
Worse things especially everything connected to BFC to get wound up ower.

 

No you don't, because it didn't happen.

 

Sharp's son, Luey Jacob, died in October 2011 from gastroschisis when he was just two days old. Sharp scored a goal against Middlesbrough just two days after the death, and again five days later at Ipswich.

 

Yr a horrible person stating it never happened...hope it doesn't happen to u

 

I'm aware of all that, it's the fans hurling abuse at him because of it that didn't happen.

 

You're really not that bright are you.

 

I'd love to meet u in person...keyboard warriers

 

It's you who's going off on one. You misunderstood my post and decided to go on the attack, so wind it in you melt.

 

During the game in which we lost at the Keepmoat on 2nd January 2012 I think it was, one singular fan shouted something about Billy Sharps son trying to get a chant going, it was very quickly shot down by fellow Barnsley fans. The story did the rounds on social media, & then a Leeds fan, who we had beaten a couple days prior when Vaz Te scored hat trick, tried to exaggerate the story & make out it was all 2k+ Barnsley fans chanting that day. I remember it vividly.

 

I was there....it was more than one person making the chants...I walked away in disgust and went to the toilet. Other fans were disgusted and voiced their opinion

 

Please explain Yr post...are u trying to apply it didn't happen...we're u there
