Most surreal BFC match.......

cardiff a few week ago i still can't beleave we defenderd a 1-0 defasit

 

the Sunday was sunny..

... it got worse on the Monday and Tuesday was the worst day I've seen in the lakes.... rained all day and heavy !!!!</p>

We were in Grasmere... nice place How Foot Lodge. Drove back on the Wednesday and down to Sussex on the Thursday for the following weekend... missed the fkin Donnie match !!!</p>

best to keep on the right side , must have been the sunday before which was a dog, come to think of it we were in warrington that sunday and it was ok, if you csn call Ikea ok

 

RE: Its got to be York 0 Barnsley 1

Great day out. We took loads up to York. I seemt o recall that we couldn't see further than the edge of the penalty area, and had to rely on the shouts of the home crowd as to what was happening.

78/79 Stockport at home was quite surreal..... 4-1 with about 10 minutes to go and Les Bradd scored a hat trick for them to earn a 4-4 draw.

One game that left me dumbfounded was the Exeter affair in 1977. Strolling along at half-time with a 3-0 lead and we ended up losing 4-3. That was in the good ol' Iley days arf!

 

RE: West Ham United away in the cup back in the 80s

A rough old night that was Westie. I got bashed up in the Chicken Run.... got to the ground late and went in the first turnstiles i saw. Sporting a white t-shirt with the well and oak on wasn't the best move. I was fine when we went 1-0 up.... "Go on then. Facking jump yer norvern cant!" and all that sort of stuff. Plenty of phlegm on the back and head throughout the game..... West Ham scored and that was it!!!! I got a bit of a shoe-ing.

 

Come to think of it????..........

What about Upton Park in 1987? 2-0 down at half-time and we go on to stuff 'em 5-2. Got to be possibly one of the best Reds' performances ever?

 

Workington 1 Barnsley 7 1976??

Or you could have Barrow 1 Barnsley 5 with all the Reds goals coming in the last twenty minutes. A pity we don't play in Cumbria any more!

 

Matty Appleby scores 2 goals

Barnsley 6 - Portsmouth 0</p>

Sat on my hands in the away end with a mate who had driven me up to the game. It wasn't that strange that we scored 6 because they had two players snet off, but the fact that Matty Applbey scored two made me think it was all a drug induced dream - really liked Appleby as a player and he always got into positions, but never scored ... so to get two!!! Jaw dropping</p>

 

Not only was the score surreal...

but I was in a rough Barrow pub (the only one that would show the match for me) sat in the middle of the room so I could see the telly with blokes rolling around (proper) fighting on the floor all around me. Every now and again a head would pop up and say something like "Blimey, look at that score!" or "Oh, are you from Barnsley? Do you know Rossi the ice-cream man? We met him on holiday."

Weird weird night.

 

yep, remember it well.....

...another very bizarre game.
