RE: WNAK I meant the reffing all thro the game, if he did kick it away then I agee, but much worse things went off
Provided more entertainment in 15 minutes than rest of team put togther for 90. Some wild crosses, some sublime, some falling over, then some beating of players, then the sending off. Quality.
Yeah He needs to learn that no matter how idiotic it seems there are some offences far worse than continually kicking the **** out of the opposition. these include the very serious offences of celebrating a goal by removing your shirt and flicking the ball away - much worse than risking breaking someones leg obviously</p>
The henious crime of celebrating a goal............ And who can forget when that Asprilla bloke got booked for waving a corner flag? Shocking behaviour indeed! He should have been banned the twit!.......... Seriously; what is football coming to when you can't bloody well celebrate a goal these days? Whilst on about celebrations, can anyone else recall the 'OO Gerry, Gerry' celebrations after we won at Elland Road in 89/90? If that happened after a game these days there'd be untold complaints and possibly a police spokesman appearing like Mr.Ben's shop assistant to say "We are looking into the gravity of this matter etc". Slurp! Cheers!
no - he got booked for a foul and then kicking the ball away late on bit silly and was because the ref was taking the piss at the current moment in time.
RE: Eh? you missed the post you were aiming at (at least I assume you did as it would have made more sense to reply to mine rather than the post you actually replied to)</p> missing the post is a quality possessed by some of the Barnsley strikers, Marc Richards being a particularly good example </p> my attempt at wit anyway - maybe I am better leaving that sort of quip to gaz</p>
RE: Eh? I agree wholeheartedly Farnham old chap! (Y) Twas an ill-timed reply... Your wit is well in time squire. (raiseaglass)
Laws is Rubbish Over the years Laws has reffed down here and has been complete and utter rubbish every time he turns out. How the guy survives I know not.
Refs at the 'well....... I seem to recall that, throughout my early years and so on, the refeering has been truly diabolical. Even the the so-called 'good' managers that have turned up, back in the days when they weren't classified etc, they have been consistent in the fact they have been biased against Barnsley. At one stage i thought i had a problem in that i was going round the bend and then i realised it was most certainly the FA appointees that seemed to dislike being at Oakwell - methinks that if you read Neil Redfearn's account of how people pictured Oakwell then there could be an insight? Mind you, if that was the case, how did we get players to sign for us? ..... eyup! i'm rambling, soz! Anyhow; many moons ago there was a chap called George Courtney who, whenever he was at Oakwell, was an absolute ****! Whenever his name was mentioned on the PA he was greeted with boos and, in his own owrds, apparently, he's been qouted as saying something about the reception he has always received at Oakwell. Well..... on one occasion, a certain Cup game against Leeds Mr Courtney thus allowed John deehan to grab a ball in mid-air, bring it down, and then volley the ball into the net in the 90th minute. We stood amazed at the spectacle as Courtney rang back to the centre circle giving the goal. WEHAAAY!!! Mind you.... come the replay, which he was greeted onto the pitch by 2,300 Reds supporters with ironic cheers, he went on to become his usual self and we went out of the Cup without much of a whimper!
