Not sure if discipline is the right word but for me there is a problem with the amount of yellow cards this team is getting. Werling is on his second ban and its only Christmas. Howard and De Silva have both had bans for having 5 yellows. JCR was sent off on Saturday and now Foster has been sent off. No team should have players sent off two games on the trot. I understand that the standard of refereeing is not what it should but I just think all the yellow cards we keep getting is summat that needs looking at.
JCR - Undeserved red card Foster - Underserved red card So, it's the fault of the team and their lack of discipline?
Can't blame the players for ***** refereeing Trevor Kettle - 22 yellows in his last 3 games before today and 3 reds/8 yellows in his last visit to Oakwell.</p> The man is simply a joke and how he gets a game week after week god only knows.</p>
I've seen a hell of allot of yellow cards dished out this season that shouldn't have been given. Fair enough some have got sloppy BUT do much in the past we have let teams get stuck into us. Simon Davey doesn't allow that, he's made the team get stuck in and we aren't a easy touch anymore. Last season Stoke would have got stuck in and we would have backed down and let them continue doing it.
Not sure the first was a foul mate Their guy was going nowhere and made sure he fell over Foster - the Yellow card was unbelievable. As was Souza's for conceding the first penalty. Yet they regularly slid in with 2 feet so that we had to jump out of challenges and he didnt even give a foul.
Pramman Yes Pramman I went to the feckin match. I'm as fecked off as anyone else but I just think we seem to have had more than our fair share of yellow cards this year and maybe its summat that needs looking at.
Makes it worse They slid in dangerously, yet two nothing tackles from Foster result in a card? It just makes you ask whats the point in going if games can be decided by such amateurs. The thing is, guys like Kettle have been around for years and the authorties make no effort to get rid of them.

I have to disagree with you It's great to finally see a Barnsley team with a bit of fight in them, but I still stand by my opinion that neither of the red cards in the last two matches were warranted, and I don't think we can even appeal todays as it was 2 yellow cards. Do you not think it's better to see a battling Barnsley team rather than a bottling Barnsley team?
RE: I have to disagree with you You can still battle without getting booked all the fecking time and giving away silly free kicks. Muller has said the same thing in the programme today about free kicks. I love a team to get stuck in and have some hammer.
It's not upto the players when they get booked though! It's upto these excuses for referee's we seem to get week in week out. Opposition fans think we're a dirty team, which I'm happy with! At least it means we're getting stuck in and the players are actually showing a bit of passion for the club.
You're correct, and it is great to see. We've seen so many spineless performances over the years it's great to finally see the players getstuck in and fight for the points.
