    Bruce Dyer on Facebook is very unhappy with BFC media team (quite rightly in my opinion).

    This is in regard to the omission of Josiah and Vimal from the highlights reel of the first team debutants from the academy this season posted on social media this week.

    Didn’t Vimal make his first team debut last season? And Josiah Dyer is no longer at the club.
    Are any other players who are no longer at the club in the highlight reel?

    Thought it was this season. Could be wrong. I can understand his frustration in a way his sons been released after been in the academy from 7. Bruce does some great work in the barnsley community with the young kids and often puts them forward to barnsley academy so fair play. He seems a top bloke and always come across like that when I spoke to him at oakwell and could play abit in his day.

    I must have missed it where Bruce accused the club of racism?

    If Vimal made his debut last season and the highlights reel is of players still at the club then I understand why Josiah and Vimal were not on the highlights reel.

    By debut do we mean sub appearance or a start?

    There’s no comments from Bruce on that post now.

    But whatever he’s said I think was erroneous.

    Vimal didn’t debut this season.

    His lad Josiah played in 22/23 as eluded to above - and is also no longer at the club.

    I sincerely hope he didn’t accuse the club of racism due them being ‘omitted’ from the video - despite them not being first team debutants this season.

    If he has than he has blotted his copybook a little. He’s probably hurt that his lad has been released - but there’s no racial element to that. And the media team put a post on regarding Vimal’s success in the national league playoff game for Oldham.

    What did he say?
