    Barnsley FC has been enveloped in a cloak of silence this week, arguably at a time when the Championship club could have used the opportunity to communicate better with some pretty disgruntled fans, writes Neil Goulding.

    What they say in the media means nothing, unless they start getting points. This, to me, seems like an attack on the club, from a writer who often writes tripe about us.

    Can't say I've really seen it in the same way as the guy who wrote the article - it's an international break and the transfer window is shut? What is there really to say?

    "And for a local media man who works to give the club positive publicity..."

    Yeah, clearly.

    These links you've started posting to The Barnsley Star are making me angry. What a crock of **** that article is. We're not signing anyone, we haven't got a game, there's absolutely nothing to say. Personally, I'm pleased we're going about the business of preparing for the next game rather than wasting time talking to this pillock.

    There you go, the messenger has got it both barrels. If I'd got a bayonet I'd stick that in 'n'all.

    The Star and BBC radio Sheffield are two of a kind, in fact I haven't bought the star since we got promoted back to the championship and I've stopped listening to radio David Weir/Jones.

    BFC have an obligation to do whatever they want......and not giving The (Sheffield) Star an interview suits me just fine.
    There is nothing to say ie. no game, no signings......so what's the point in gap-filling pages with stories about our poor start?

    I'd **** Radio Sheffield, The Star and anything that's centric to Sheffield, right off.......concentrate on other modern media outlets to communicate with the fans.

    Message to The Star : stop moaning and go and concentrate on your two main topics of Weds and Utd. We don't need you one little bit.

    Would that be the same Star which proudly announced John Sheridan was to be appointed manager, replacing the departed Mark Robins? Or could it be the same Star which claimed (exclusively, I believe) that Sean O'Driscoll had agreed to become our new manager last January?
    Keep up the good work. The best thing to be said of that publication is it's soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent.

    I couldn't give a stuff whether Neil Goulding gets his scoop or not. Its hardly a wall of silence.... if flicker wants to concentrate on internal matters that is entirely up to him. Stop making mischief. like a sulking child.
