    never heard of the reporter but for some reason he isn't that keen on Barnsley

    "It feels a bit like that when yet another Scottish football talent heads to England.

    Especially when they don’t end up in one of the glamour spots. They end up in places like Barnsley.

    That’s exactly where Marley Watkins is heading next season after deciding League One in England is a better prospect than European football with Inverness.

    Ouch.

    Don’t hold it against him though. It’s simple economics. Like it or not, Watkins will be trebling – at least – his dough with the Tykes.

    It was the same when Jim O’Brien went in the same direction.

    Barnsley might sound grim – and believe me, it is"

    Could be worse, he could be a bitter w*nkstain of a journalist who is looked down on by an entire nation as a parasite :)

    Oh, Barnsley is wonderful... :D

    What he neglects to mention is that while Barnsley might be grim it is a utopia compared to some places in Scotland. Och aye.
