Just one question: If we didn't plan to get promoted, why on earth would Gord plan for our impending relegation? This is the best footballing team I've seen at Oakwell in a decade. Unfortunately it will be performing in League One next season. Scene One: Gord the farmer & his hired help, Richtea the farmboy, are in a barn discussing business ... Gord the farmer: Well done Andy - you've ploughed the fields brilliantly this year & we've ended up with a bumper harvest, our best ever. Richtea the farmboy: Cheers boss. It'll be more difficult to do next year, as the standard of ploughing has generally increased. To keep up with the other farms I suggest we buy some new tractors. Gord the farmer: I'll look into it. 6 months later ... Richtea the farmboy: Right Gord - it's time to plough ... have you purchased the equipment I suggested? Gord the farmer: Not quite. Richtea the farmboy: Okay - what am I ploughing with? Gord the farmer: A spoon Richtea the farmboy: I'm sorry? Gord the farmer: A spoon. And I expect similar results. Richtea the farmboy: Tablespoon or teaspoon? Gord the farmer: Plastic spoon. Richtea the farmboy: Do you have the number for Dave Allen's farm? * They both leave the barn, skipping along to the theme from "Butterflies".
Under the circumstances I am very surprised we haven't heard anything from Shephard today It would be nice and considerate if he posted something on the official site about what he intends to do about lack of quality in the side Something to put my mind at rest
RE: Under the circumstances I am very surprised we haven't heard anything from Shephard today I would hope that GS is doing other things at this moment in time, along with AR. No doubt if he released a statement he would be slated by a large proportion of people.
Can see it now Gord in office thinking 'OMG Young Nudger is not at ease in his mind. I must make a conciliatory statement to put his mind at rest' Somehow I think not
RE: Can see it now............Yes but There aint only Young Nudger that is very very concerned today about the state of play at Barnsley FC Everybody else who I have spoken to this morning seems to be in the same frame of mind Probably Shep thinks we have all forgotton about it the next day Well we aint And being in the hotel business, Shep should know what it takes to look after customers Or are we just football fans that will pay no matter what is thrown at us ???
