Nobody forces me to pay to go watch, I do it because I want to like the other fans who go week in week out. I dont think we will go down but if we do I will still go next season.
I'm sorry I have no idea what you are talking about what do you mean marking time? its not as if we have been narrowly missing the playoffs every year and have now dropped back 5 points from 3 away games against rated sides is definitely progress in my book we will gloss over the home form for now but hopefully that will come right I am a lot more hopefuly after WATCHING our last 2 performances than I was after we were played off the pitch by Southampton
It must be difficult to fish after the last couple of results, stick with it though, if you're lucky we'll lose next week and then you can really go to town on 'em.
It was pointed out that Andy Ritchie wasn`t too optimistic about getting promoted from the Championship and subsequently lost his job now it seems the board are prepared to let the manager of our club tell us 4th bottom is okay. Whats going on?????
we,ve made the same mistake again of replying to his post when if you left the numpty be, he,d just vanish up his own arse,but we still encourage him by replying to his dumb posts!
You don't even go so there is a certain irony in your question wouldn't you agree? By the way are you suprised that we followed up a good result at Reading with another good result. http://v2.barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthr...ginning-Or-A-False-Dawn&p=1039670#post1039670
Yep, I am surprised, Mario. Be even more so if we get a point against Leicester. I don't want us to do badly just to justify my predictions - I can get enough wrong, as anyone who viewed my racing tips yesterday will vouch! But I can't think that where we're going at the moment is the right direction. When Ritchie got us up we accepted that survival was paramount. But four years on and we've made no progress. If anything, we've gone backwards, because survival is now being talked about as the ultimate prize! OK, I'm not daft enough to think we have a right to be challenging the top two, or even the playoff places, but we now ought to be getting to where we're reasonably confident of a mid-table position. After all, are we any harder up now than we have been in the last 10-15 years? The crowds are about the same, although I think the home performances and the pricing structure may soon change that!
how dare they go to millwall and defend very well for a well earned point against a team that is very good at home and just missed out on the playoffs last year, disgraceful, boooooooooo, hill out
But none of that is Hills fault so doesnt he deserve unconditional support for at least long enough for us to see if he is the right man for the job? There has been some anti Hill fans from the outset and they seem to want us to fail just so they can say "I told you so" and that is not fair on Hill, the club and the majority of fans who want him to succeed and will give him time to put his philosophy into to the team. After Reading we had some fans moaning about things and after yesterday there are still fans moaning about him. It's time to get off his and the clubs backs and start supporting them.
Thats how it was made to look even if that isn`t the real reason and now it looks like Hill can say what he likes.
Barnsley fans are known for being fickle and I think Hill was caught off guard and took it personally. There have many of us who have supported Barnsley for years through thick and thin and have stood on the wind swept terraces in the old fourth division on a tuesday night as well as tasting the joys of reaching the higher echelon. I prefer to look at this way, I am proud of my own town club and have defended them all my life and I can take heart that I was not fickle and went and supported a club that I have no affiliation with just becuase they are winning - that is not what supporting a club is all about. The moaners will always be there as it is a turn on for them and I for one will keep going to watch them until I pop my clogs then I can face St Peter (with my Barnsley shirt on) and he will let me in and I can then have a good chin wag with the genuine Barnsley Supporters. The others will have gone to a warmer place.
its definetetely going to be a tough season but it seems to me the senior players have rallied round the manager and are up for the battle ahead. In my opinion the gap between the top six and the bottom six is as big as in the premiership 45 points will probably be enough to survive.
We're not harder up now than we were 15 years ago but the rest of the division is full of clubs who are much better off (superficially that is because when the stupid money bubble bursts, which it will, they will be in a worse position than us) but anyway for the time being we no longer have the financial clout to compete with many top half clubs.
What nonsense! I don't know why you bother going? I go to watch the Reds beacuse they are MY football team and always have been and always will be regardless of what league they play in. I've got an idea for the glass half full brigade on here, why don't we get behind the team from kick off to the end of the game and see where that get's us?? If the players and staff read this board I'm not surprised they're a bag of nerves at home this season.
yes but aside from the top 6 theres another 18 teams thinking the same' some so called bigger clubs.there's also clubs in the lower reaches who a lot of people outside barnsley think they should be doing better than us.If you come down to the real world you might start thinking we're not doing so bad after all. As for price structure a lot of clubs will be killed off before us because we've a good deal of local talent that could fill any void left by the collapse of high earning proffesional journey men.
