    People often ask me if I'm an optimist - &quot;I hope so&quot; is my usual reply, but then again knowing my luck I'll probably end up being a pessimist.</p>

    FFS folks - Barnsley has reached the semi finals of the FA Cup.</p>

    Read that again - the semi final - how many of you ever realistically thought that this would happen in your lifetime? Liverpool 1 Barnsley 2, Barnsley 1 Chelsea 0 along the way, all that's left now are 2 clubs at the same level as us and a mediocre side from the tier above - it is realistic that the cup is winnable.</p>

    So there's a problem with goalkeepers - that was a problem a few weeks ago - look what happened, have some faith.</p>

    So not everyone will get a ticket or the ticket they want - how many of you will not actually SEE the game - it's on live TV.</p>

    A new kit for the semi final - what is the problem with that? If you don't want to buy it you don't have to, I personally hope another 'special' kit follows that, the only reason we have the first new kit is because we have something to celebrate, if another kit comes along because there's even more to celebrate then I for one will be over the fecking moon!</p>

    Yet what do we get on the BBS? Post after post of whinging - &quot;Loyal&quot; supporters (usually with single or double figure number of posts) banging on and on about how unfair ticketing arrangements are, how the club is a disgrace for not allowing themselves to be held hostage by WBA re Luke Steele, how a new strip is a rip off!</p>

    Come on folks, for once in your lives just celebrate the fact that the team you support have given you something to be happy about!</p>

    In the word of David Ford &quot;Cheer up, you miserable ****&quot;!</p>
