Barnsley fans yesterday

Not sure about that.
Despite us being shit, I loved those old days at Maine Road. Full of characters.

Oh yes it was fantastic. Meeting your mates at the illuminous green gates at the front of the Kippax. Being force-fed disgusting Bovril. Being thrown round the kippax like a rag doll when an important goal was scored. Much preferred those days than the sanitised modern game.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not?!

I thought that when I read it myself. Much prefer the old days. The player I was thinking of was Thomas Madigage unfortunately he passed away last year.

Shooting stars, girl wins radio competition for date with city's star striker, her boyfriend gets jealous and kidnaps him in an ice cream van with City trying to sell him for £5 mil at the time, something like that

There were a few whoppers in their end for sure.

"12 points", "You're not champions anymore", "Champions League, you're having a laugh"

Simply replied with "goind down" and "Championship, you're having a laugh", fuck me they were precious with that.

Can't take it, don't give it.


Also, the funniest thing about Saturday was a a small 'group' of 15 - 18 year olds getting an escort from town walking with 2 coppers and a riot van crawling along the curb. Probably for their own protection.

Luckily, I ended up behind them for basically their entire walk. I've never seen people so excited to be involved with police, really validated them. Seen a few snapping cell phone pics of their escort.

I know we were playing Barnsley last Sat - but I was in the North Stand- change of seat -and I did not hear any noise from them.
Are you all sure 5,000 of them turned up?.

To be fair they were big lads

Barnsley were all in Spoons on Saturday and started chanting rag songs the sad bleeders, the ''your not champions anymore'' being the favourite, needless to say some blues took exception and it kicked off again.
Why act like that, when i go away with my mates we find a quiet pub out of the way have a good drink and keep our heads down, if it kicks off we move on

I was in spoons from 2.30pm and then again after the match 'til late - I didn't see it kick off. When you say 'were all in'... I saw about 30 of them. It certainly wasn't like it was against Leeds and Watford in there.

Neither was i, we wouldnt be seen dead in spoons on Piccadilly, its just what i was told at the match but got the impression it was a lot earlier than 2 oclock

I moved and ended up in the North Stand, the acoustics are shite and from there the atmosphere sounded poor but when youre in amongst it, you think it's bouncing..... Wembley is similar

Re: City's "firm"

A couple of Barnsley lads getting out of a taxi asked us if we could show em to the away end on Saturday. Nice lads early 20's they were, one of them was a bit dazed, had a broken nose with his top covered in claret, said there was a few of them drinking in the northern quarter (won't name pub for CCTV/dibble reason's) when city set about them as they came out

I am not condoning what happened to the young Barnsley lad in any way but there was a lot of Barnsley idiots gobbing it off around the Northern Quarter on Saturday.
Heard of an incident in Dry Bar when young Barnsley came in and were ok chatting away with City but after a few sherberts wanted to let City know they were there for a kick off so City obliged.
This could have been where the lad got a bit of a smack

Was 100 percent.

Re: Barnsley "firm"

This thread is a wee bit embarrassing. I don't think it's really worthy of Bluemoon.

there's plenty of other threads

Plus, when did Bluemoon have some sort of quality control?
