One good thing to come out of this deja-vu slump..

    The old BBS humour has started to rear its beautiful head.
    Last few days, I have noticed an upturn in the wit of old, the laughing at ourselves, the odd b1tchy argument...
    I may be imagining it, but I have found the forum a joy to read of late. Gone are the PRO vs ANTI threads, replaced with an overwhelming acceptance - in humour - that we arent any good. And in my 30 years as a Barnsley man, there's always been one key trait that I love about my fellow tarn folk - our humour, our laughing in the face of adversity. Such a simple but effective way of dealing with the monotony that comes with being a supporter of our ******* proud little club.
    So what if we're ****?
    Id love us all at Oakwell to show this same 'so what?' attitude, and get behind the lads whatever happens. Because at the games, our fans - vast majority - sit there like gods, like we have seen better on a regular basis, and this doesnt cut it. And be fair, thats utter ******.
    .
    Thanks to all recent contributors who have given me plenty of laughs of late. Of course we have a collection of knicker-sniffers, and 2x4's, but they add to the ambience...
    .
    Lets get behind the lads today, especially young Danny Rose, expected to start, and see what happens.
    .
    YOU BEAUTIFUL REDS!

    (Yes, I have had a couple of drinks..)

    "So what if we're ****"

    A compelling replacement for spectamur agendo as the club/town motto.

    Oh, and since we'd be updating the badge we might also ditch the "omg, soooo boring" miner and glass blower in favour of a banana and frizbee to represent Barnsley's mining heritage.

    Onlookers would say, "Gaze at yonder badge! Verily the banana portrays the miner's passion for snap and the frizbee doth reflect a coal seam of delight. Huzzah for art!"

    Nar think on. I should set misen up as a brand consultant with ideas like that. Half a million quid please, BMBC or I'm taking my idea to Donny council. I know you're not stupid. Do it.

    This match is a bit dull int it.
