[Archived] Barnsley Away

[No Nay Never]

My 1st game this season. I'm not particularly interested in the match. Festive drink up with a band of pals is the only reason I'll be present.

Barnsley Away on a Tuesday night under Souness is one of my fondest memories.

It was the seasons turning point. 1 nil down (did Ripley score for them?) Huff and puff with Egil up front.

On comes Matt Jansen and changes the game completely.

Scored a scrambled equaliser and Dunny walloped the winner from miles out.

We never looked back.

Might be wrong but I seem to recall that being Brad Friedels debut?

That was win 6 out of a run 6 wins on the spin. I remember because I chose that time to travel the world. I flew back to England from Oz in december(from 30 degrees to minus 2) landed at 9am and stayed up, watched a turgid 0-0 draw vs QPR where Matty missed a pen, then went on the lash in town. 48 hours without sleep

Incidentally Brad made his debut in the 125 centenary game vs Wolves on November 18th 2000

aye because ticket prices venky FC get a cut ... pay on day they don't

I'm completely cold turkey on all games , home , away , youth . I am so pissefd off about it , it breaks my heart every game I miss

I'm not sure if they get a cut or not. If they don't then you are good to go.

What is the rule in the FA cup I'm sure they changed it so the home club gets all the ticket money?

[onlyonejackwalker]

Nine conceeded in the last three games. Not 1, or 2 or 3, but 9! This is pro-sport and that is totally unacceptable at this level

Feel sorry for our strikers. Six in the last three matches and nothing at all to show for it.

I think we will improve tomorrow and only concede 2. I think we will score 1 or 2 as well, but my guess is 1.

So 2-1 to Barnsley. Another defeat and tough looking games to follow.

Happy effing Xmas.

I don't think so. The gate is divided after expenses I believe. It would be unfair if you are drawn away otherwise.

FA cup money is split 3 ways after expenses (inc VAT). Home team get a third, travelling team get a third and the remaining third goes into the prie fund for redistribution at the end of the competition.

League Cup used to be spilt 40:40:20

League rules were changed late 80's (?) so home clubs kept all receipts (favouring 'big' clubs).

[Lancaster Rover]

No idea about the league cup but that's defo the split for FA cup.

Looks like longer if the photos from table tennis Tuesday are anything to go by

Table Tennis Tuesday LOL.

Question: What is the difference between Owen Coyle and a ping pong ball?

Answer: One is extremely light weight and hollow inside. The other is something, which you bat over a table tennis net.

With a few days to go, just under a thousand sold. Add in a few sales on the day at Oakwell and that isn't a bad effort.

Obviously not the bumper crowd of '92 or a Boxing Day following of yore, but considering the state of the club, god bless us everyone.

Great game. Probably the coldest i've ever been at a match. Remember my eyes watering looking into the low floodlights opposite.

Souness got angry and went on the pitch.

Ended up at the front after the winner, patted Dunny on the back after he ran into the crowd. Went home buzzing after that.

What a squad. Duff/Bent must've been injured.

Blackburn: Filan, Curtis, Bjornebye, Short, Flitcroft, Dunn, M. Hughes, Hignett, Johnson, Ostenstad, Berg. Subs: Dailly, McAteer, Jansen, Carsley, Friedel.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just look at the subs bench ! Having said that Dailly still wouldn't get in our current team. He was seriously bad. Must have had a great agent.

Truly frightening,that Souness led Rovers side would have torn this present excuse of a team to pieces,annihilated them.

It's so sad.

1-1 at best.

51 years ago Rovers were part of a bit of seasonal football history:

[tomphil]

Just glanced at some Barnsley forums and this must be the least awaited game ever. Two famous old clubs going nowhere.

[bazza]

Barnsley have improved no end and are on a roll. They are expected to win handsomely.

Rovers have such a poor defence they don't know where their next point is going to come from.

It's Boxing Day and football is a "funny old game"

Rovers to win 2-0 to surprise everyone in the country including us.

[chaddyrovers]

Steele Nyambe Lenihan Brown Williams Marshall Mulgrew Evans Conway Gallagher Graham

Thats the team I expect to see tomorrow

How many of those have been injured recently. I'd be surprised if all of those players turn out.

Steele Nyambe Evans not good enough so let's hope Barnsley have a weak midfield and no decent strikers for these players to achieve a result!

[Stonesrick]

I used to really look forward to Boxing Day fixtures, similar feeling to the 3rd round of the FA Cup. First away game ever on Boxing Day aged 9 years, Leeds v Rovers 1-1. I can remember a real intimidating atmosphere that day.

Nothing like that feeling since this lot arrived and destroyed our club and a manager who talks drivel, drivel. drivel. drivel........and more drivel!

1-1 today, would definately be there under differant circumstances. I'm one of those that will probably be lost forever, found other things to occupy my time.
