Funniest comical moment you have seen at oakwell

Winston Campbell once smacked the ball in to touch, and knocked me straight off the wall at front of brewery stand. I can see its funny now, at the time everyone around me did except me

 

Toby got into big trouble for that - he got slammed on 606! Steve Cram was horrified - made me laugh after going to Maine Road in 93 when coins rained down from the Kippax all the game , nearly crushed going out of the exit and then the several 'welcoming' parties waiting for us after the game.

 

Sorry....

I got 2 firstly we played man city pre season friendly about 3-4 years back Robinho was in the team cant remember if it was a break in play or warm up before but he's doing his flicks n tricks in front of the east stand and some bloke shouts "Robinho tha ****" genius !!
Other one was a game against scunny I think and Dominic werling gets a free kick , wall lines up and this poor bloke cops one right at the side of the head falls to the floor gets up staggers around falls over again had to laugh but bet the poor lad had a right headache cos werlings free kicks could fly

 

One of the funniest moments I remember down at Oakwell was of Robinho. He had a mare that day, O'Neil Thompson (remember him) got the ball on the edge of his own box and looked up at Robinho, who was about 3 yards in front of him, there was a sudden pause, before Thompson just walked the ball around him, as though Robinho had just had enough.

Also, not at Oakwell, played Reading in the 2nd round of the league cup under Davey on a Tuesday night, about 100 reds fans there. The young reading fans just below us, in the 2nd half kept going aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, for ages everytime any of our players made a mistake, with about 15 minutes to go, Odejayi was caught in a corner if I remember right, and tripped over the ball, the Reading fans went aaaaaahhhhh, as they did, KO managed to knock the ball into the centre as he fell for Bogdanovic to tuck home, which was met by a cheer from thenBarnsley fans, followed by a loud, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Oh thought of another, Docaster away a few seasons ago. Iain Hume was getting some grief from the Doncaster fans and the referee over the position of the ball from a corner, despite the fact that Humey was complying with the offical rule that the ball must be at least overhanging the quadrant. After 3 or 4 corners, where the ref had told him to move the ball, Hume placed the ball clearly on the line, only for the ref, nowhere near the ball, to tell him to move it, so Humey picks it up and slams it down on the sideline. This was met by a huge cheer from the Donny fans, Humes corner dropped short of the near post and was taken back away from goal by Adam Hammill, the Doncaster fans cheered again as they thought the corner was poor, at this point, Hammill turned back towards goal, does a step over and released the winning goal into the far corner. At which point he races arose the pitch and slides on his knees in front of the Doncaster fans who gave Hume the most grief.

 

Robbie Williams played in midfield by caretaker manager Simon Davey against the Fowls. We lost 3 nowt and the day after the Swansea Berk was givem the job! ****ing hillarious that one.

 

Had we not won 4-1, it may have seemed less so!

 

My first ever game, cup game against Everton, penalty shoot out at end I was sat in wall in ponty just left of the nets, Everton were just about to take a pen with lee butler in sticks for us when a Johnny was blown up n lobbed on pitch, it bobbled about on goal line only for Butler to see it and dive on it like saving cup winning penalty!

 

Quick edit, just remembered that Odejayi was stuck in a corner vs Reading and tripped over, the Reading fans went aaaaaaaahhhhhh, then the referee gave a penalty, in the 94th minute.

Another Edit, this is in the wrong place, was supposed to be in reply to myself further up.

 

I think this was away, not Oakwell but.... GLYNN RILEY in goal!!! Forget Bobby Hassell, this was a bit special. 80/81 sometime, Gary pierce I think off injured and all five foot seven of the then super-sub in goal, diving about like a pissed frog and I think kept a clean sheet and I think it might have been the 1-0 where Glavin scored with a cheeky back heel. Probably wrong, one of the grown ups might have to help me out. It was one of my first away games, was it Grimsby? He did rise majestically to catch a corner, I remember that and got a right cheer from us. Headline in the programme following week was of course, 'The Life of Riley.' Didn't like signing autographs, Glyn though. Mardy get.

 

There used to be a really eccentric ref who's name escapes me. If there was a dead-ball kick, he used to sprint 50-100 yards to the touchline, probably as some sort of fitness exercise. This particular game at Oakwell we got a corner or goal-kick and he sprinted towards the kop tried to stop but his momentum took him over the perimeter wall. He was a right nutter.

 

It was at Fulham

But I can appreciate just how similar West London and Cleethorpes are(!) We won 3-2, so no clean sheet. Ronnie Glavin scored, but not with a back heel. That was at Chester a few months later and was a last minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
Other than that, you got it absolutely spot on!

 

Re: It was at Fulham

Cheers, I can't remember where I was yesterday let alone 30 years ago! It's all a blur, life.

 

Come to think of it

I'm not sure Glavin did score. I remember Aylott & Banks scoring, but I can't recall whether the other goal was either Derrick Parker, or Trevor Aylott with a second. I think it was Parker.

 

Re: Come to think of it

Don't worry, I could have looked it up before I posted. Beginning to wish I had now. I blame that Stewart Barrowclough pile-driver I took square in the mush, it all got a bit foggy after that. He was only knocking it out for a throw-in n'all. Get too excited, some folk.

 

Cup replay vs Man U. First leg, a Man U defender committed grievous bodily harm on Andy Liddell in the box with about 3 minutes left and the ref didn't give it.

Toby tyke used to always score a goal in front of the opposition fans in those days swapping passes with the announcer. However this day Toby was just about to shoot when the announcer kicked him up in the air. Toby Tyke is waving his arms all over the place on his knees.

Announcer: 'no, it's not a penalty, Toby.' They got some right stick off the Man U fans.

Same game, we were singing 'Posh Spice takes it up the arse' to Beckham.

 

Re: Come to think of it

Premier League season. Ponty End started singing,

'If you've shagged Ulrika, clap your hands'

'You'll never play for England' to Chris Sutton was a good one.

 

Again not at Oakwell, but the away loss at West Brom on last day of the season in the darkest Davey days.

Beautiful sunny day in May, and a great atmosphere. We'd stayed up safely and think West Brom were already promoted. Barnsley following were mostly in fancy dress and had enjoyed a drink or two to say the least.

Going into last 10 minutes of the game, we were losing 6-0 but nobody gave much of a toss. There was a Mexican wave going round the ground which the Reds fans were happily joining in with. Just as the wave got round to the away end, West Brom scored a seventh. The Barnsley fans started celebrating the goal madly as if we'd scored ourselves! Perfect timing!
