Most Patronsing comment..............ever

I'm sure we have all on our travels met new people who we have been forced to engage in small talk -and as ice breakers go, football is usually a good topic to break down a few barriers (or put a few more up). However - and I have had this all my life when I have announced that Barnsley are my team, then quite often the reply has been 'Who is manager down there now? - Chuffing hell, that infuriates me that one.

Other classics:

'Barnsley............ they did well in the Premiership didn't they' (No -we got relegated numpty!)

'Which league are they in now?' (Maybe I'm sad but I can at least tell anyone whichever team they support which league they are in)

'Who was that player who said all Barnsley girsl are ugly and Beer swilling?'

'How are they doing this season then'

..................and many, many more-.......maybe I'm just a bit too sensitive. Of course, these sort of comments usually come from the Premiership Bandwagon fans.

 

Walking back from Oakwell after a match and somebody asks "How did they get on?"

Whilst watching the Stoke game in the pub last week (armchair fan that I am) I overheard a group of footy fans chatting on a table opposite. They seemed to be pretty knowledgeable, though largely to do with Premier League clubs.

They all had one eye on the game when one of them piped up; " weren't Baaaaaaaaarnsley in the Premier League once?" To which his mate replied, "Nah, you're thinking of Bradford". The first man nodded as if to accept his mistake.

Meks yer blood boil!

 

all the sodding time that one

i always lie tell them something different. some guy in a suit came up and asked me in joseph brammer after hull game what the score had been i pointed the the tv and said its on there if you cant manage oakwell.

 

I had it all the time when i was in the Army "Hey up thou at a al reet". It was a fresh of breath air meeting other Barnsley squaddies

 

Just listen to John Helm on calendar.

When the games big enough for him to come down that is.

 

Yep, I get the "you're a Burnley/Bradford fan aren't you...how did they get on/what league are they in now" ballax all the time.

Oh and "Baaaaaaaaarnsley" actually breaks me. Do the people who say this think is new or original or are they just trying to affirm how much of a tw@t they are?

 

RE: Ooooh, Baaaaaarnsley?

I always find the best way to deal with that one is to simply stare dead-pan at them until they're done and respond very calmly ...

"No, just Barnsley" ...

And then leave them to fidget uncomfortably.

 

I remember phoning home after our Wembley defeat. My Mum and Dad had watched it on the telly.
After explaining that I was upset and angry all at the same time, my Mum said.............

"Well, as long as you've had a good day though!"

 

I wish every single person that's ever said "oooooh Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnsli" to me could see this and understand what utter @rses they sound. I mean come on, would we go "deedar" to Sheffielders?

 

Whenever I got home from a match my mum would say "did you have a nice time?"

 

Serving Scargill's party at Ardsley house when he had his posh QC up from London to defend him over the Russian Miners money. The QC asked for a cocktail to which this bint piped up 'oh sweetie you're in Barnsley now dear' - Scargill laughed, I didn't.

 

Since when was Barnsley near Newcastle?!

 

How about?

"Why on earth people who are outside the game believe that they know best is astonishing in the least."

 

RE: How about?

*cough splutter*

 

RE: How about?

His was the best application, even though he didnt actually apply........
