John Hendrie's winning goal at Bramall Lane

"can't afford to go up" nt

 

I didn't care what the opposition did

All the gamesmanship and the rest. It just showed what a bunch of cnuts they all were. The fact that we never resorted to it, but continued to play football and battle like Trojans just made me feel even more proud of my club. I was a right idealistic little **** back then. Events since then, particularly what happened to me and TM, have soured the whole thing, but I'm finally getting back into again this season. It helps that we've played some of the best football for years.

 

Can I ask what happened? nt

 

You can ask

But I won't tell you.

Sorry

 

No worries

I guess it must be pretty personal. Sorry it affected how you felt about things, but at least the excitement is coming back

 

What happened

Certainly has influenced my thoughts towards things BFC.</p>

 

A true 'primal scream' moment.

To say we were 'going wild' would be the understatement of the century. That goal and the celebrations are amongst my most memorable moments in circa 25 years of watching Barnsley.

I went absolutely berserk, screaming, wanting to take the roof of the stand off with the noise, wanting the sound to be ringing in the Blades players and fans' ears for hours after the game - it was absolutely magic.

 

Jovo the last man on the field with his gloves on being hugged by the pitch invader

Brilliant!!

 

What a day

Avoided being rounded up by the coppers before the game by going to the pub on the station although I wasn't drinking becuase I was only 13

My grandad was working in the exec boxes at Bramhall Lane that day. I decided to wander in with a balaclava on before the match. It scared the **** out of him and all the other folk in there!! His face was absolute class.

I remember the game so well. Couple of good saves from both keepers from distance, masses of Barnsley fans and then that moment. Great pass, great turn, decent hit, **** goalkeeping.

The whole crowd went mental. 'We are top o' the league, say we are top o' the league'!!!!

The main thing I remember is us playign some really dcent football one what seemed a massive pitch. Lets hope it's the same saturday and JCR can stretch them.

Yoooouuuuu Reeeddddddssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Top of the league for Christmas....oh the game was a blur...

....but remember being pissed with a "santa is a Barnsley fan hat on" being told to f-off back to Barnsley by some Blunts after the game. Also witnessed a fruit machine flying through a pub window pre-match!

Remember getting home and putting the teletext on 'HOLD' when it said Barnsley were top of the league! Superb. One day, we'll do the same at Wednesday, one day.

 

memories eh !

and it was only 11 years ago

Now last Saturday...
