The media and BFC .....

From the Millwall song .......

"No one likes us, we don't care" and that should be our song...

and to be honest I don't give a flying **** about the mainstream papers, local radio and TV stations, they never give us any credit but thats what coming from Barnsley is all about. That's why we all stick together and put a massive two fingers up to the lot of em.

The only time we got any 'positive' publicity was when we got into the Premiership and it was patronising at best, and focussed on the likes of Michael Parkinson and Dickie Bird with the Barnsley Main headgear in shot and the Hovis advert music playing in the background!

Let the lads do the talking on the pitch and we'll all enjoy ourselves along the way, then when we get promoted we can all say a massive **** OFF to the papers and Calender and Look North and the rest of the short-sighted wnakers

 

Oh yes!

Hallam FM - Rotherham are getting a huge amount of help through Hallam at the moment in helping raise the funds needed to survive. Theres advertisments every two minutes with numbers to phone/text to donate money. But...They didnt give Barnsley the same treatment through our administration - Tossers! RealRadio from now on.

TheStar (Barnsley Edition) We get half of the back page if were lucky. Also we get a poor match report inside compared to most other South Yorkshire teams. Theres always more infomation on the super Millers, than Barnsley.

 

I can't even find a match report online today from the Barnsley Star</p>

All other teams in.</p>

 

Thats the bit I don't get ....

.... I sort of understand why the 'massive' Sheffield clubs get the publicity but why we come behind Rotherham, Donny and Chesterfield in the publicity pecking order has always baffled me!

Whilst I have no gripe with Rotherham, it is hacking me off that they are in the news every 5 minutes when there was little said about our plight 2 years ago.

Rotherham's problem is that the bulk of Rotherham folk don't give a monkeys about their team so it matters not how much the rest of South Yorkshire and beyond rallies around them, they will always be in the *****!

 

We do have a write up somewhere in there! Its still a pathetic one considering our result.

Sheff Utd - 2 pages.

Donny - 1 page.

The Super Millers - 2 pages. (ok its against Chesterfield, but they do get a better match report than us anyhow.)

Wednesday - 2 pages.

Barnsley - a 3rd of a page.

 

I just don't understand

why anyone buys the Star!

 

for the tits maybe ?? DOH!!!

had to edit this one sorry.

Completely wrong "star" I was on about. ooops

 

It's always been the same.....

I can well remember when we stuffed Leeds 2-1 at Elland Road in their promotion season, thus gaining a 'double' over our 'big rivals'. The following evening on Calendar they refused to show the goals and highlighted clips focused on them hitting the crossbar and having a goal disallowed.
Another thing that pisses me is the 'battling Barnsley' tag we always seem to be dubbed with.

I wouldn't buy it but read the daily 'reports' online.</p>

See link above.</p>

 

"Battling Barnsley" is a saying that came from our cup run in 1912.....

and that is true. We played summat like 5 replays against the previous winners Bradford and from then on we were know as battling barnsley!!</p>

A full 93 years later and we are still called it!!</p>

 

Oakwell Legend!!!!!!!

Na then Albatross, what's your opinion on the Oakwell Legend last Saturday!!!!!

 

I've just been on Football League sit and confirmed the Play off Final is on Saturday May 27th 2006. I wasn't sure if it was Saturday or Sunday when you asked on Saturday!!!!

 

We crashed the elite party

like a vagrant at Buck House

Dont think the media have ever forgiven us!

If Wigan go back down ever it will be the same. Either heaps of opprobrium or ignored as the media are embarrassed about feting them during their moment in the sun.

 

RE: We crashed the elite party

Errrmmmm....... opprobrium

RE: We crashed the elite party

Look it up

RE: We crashed the elite party

Opprobrium

noun {U} FORMAL


severe criticism and blame:

That clears that up then!

RE: "Battling Barnsley" is a saying that came from our cup run in 1912.....

Given what we've been like recent seasons then I'm not too concerned if we get called "battling Barnsley" - it's been missing for a while.
