    Before any positives?

    Not just on the football pitch and around Barnsley FC but it seems to me tarn folk will as a general rule* always look at the negatives first!



    * yes I know it's not everyone

    Actually the name 'Barnsley' is derived from the old Saxon phrase 'Ba ron sollee' meaning 'glass half full'. Fact.

    are you implying pompey red that Barnsley people are only happy when they've got something to grumble or moan about?

    The good folk of Barnsley are happier coping with adversity than they are when things are going well.
    If everything is going well they become uneasy.
    Does this pessimistic mindset affect their perception of their football team is an interesting question.
