Liverpool, home 98..

Steve Mac was offside. We probably didn’t notice at the time. After the unjust red cards for Barnard & Morgan. Would love to know what Shez said to Willard to walk too.

 

Guessing you've got the DVD on

 

Aye, was saving it for Christmas Day, but couldn’t resist. but had my home vhs transfers for years. This is clearer.. even Alf is saying WTF..?

 

Your Alf has better eyes than Willard

 

Sheridan punched Ince in the face

 

And he wasn't exactly subtle about it either

 

So was said. At the time..

 

You can bet that Ince said something derogatory to wind Shez up for him to do what he did.
I will never ever forget how I felt as I left the ground after that game. Fuming doesn't do justice
to it. It was a complete and utter fiasco brought about by the unsporting underhand tactics of some
of the Liverpool players.

There is no doubt in my mind, that on the day, we were the better side and in truth, we
should have won. I always liken the days events to when Angelo Dundee slashed Ali's glove when
it looked like Henry Cooper was going to deck him. The Liverpool players started their theatrics by
exagerrating their " injuries" when a Barnsley player went near them. The utter pillock Willard allowed
himself to be " sucked in" and we know the results of what ensued.

On the Monday morning, I had a Street Lighting Engineers panel meeting at YPO. The then Principal
Lighting Engineer for the City of Bradford Metroplolitan Council who was a season ticket holder at
Anfield and who had been at Oakwell for the game, made a point of coming up to me and openly
admitted that a travesty of justice had taken place and that Barnsley had deserved all three points.

I honestly believe to this day, that the start point of our eventual relegation occurred that day against
Liverpool. As well as the adverse effects that any suspensions had on us, it seemed to take the wind
out of our sails and you could detect that some form of demoralisation had come over the team and
the supporters and we could have been forgiven for thinking that " everyone" was against us.

The journey home after we had lost to Leicester City in May was a solemn one and was in sharp contrast
to our opening game in the Premiership in the previous Augusts sunshine when Frank Lampard jammily
shinned the ball into the net in a 1-2 reversal against West Ham United. We gave that season our best
shot, but unfortunately , for a whole host of reasons we came up short and were relegated. Since that
time, I've always taken comfort from the fact that unlike a lot of Clubs, at least we had a season in the
top division and that try as they might, nobody can ever take that away from us.

 

fcukin Stevie Wonder had better better eyes than that cheating tw at.

Apologies for the language but **** me Betty what an absolute **** that **** was....and probably still is, the ******* ****.

 

Who was the ref who sent Moses off against newcastle?

 

Crooked McBentface

 

Neale Barry

 

Having spent a few hours in Shez's company, I realised how sensible I am. And sensible isn't a word that's ever described me.

 

I remember exactly where I was & doing when Barnsley got promoted. I had an interview at Saint Martins for fine art degree, on the Monday. So stayed put in London. I knew they’d be alright.x
Then didn’t get accepted at SM, but got in at Chelsea. Loved it& did well. 1st class honours.
Then Did masters at Saint Martins. Swings & roundabouts. Like football..

 

Now be fair to that ref. It was clear as day is day that Adi Moses headed Shearer's elbow.

 

What on earth is ‘sensible’? You wound up the club up so much, they had no other choice but to employ you. & speaking on behalf of many, we’re glad they did.
You’re still a loser..

 

And we played some great football.

 

I think most of us in the stadium that day would have done exactly the same if we'd had the chance.

 

Iirc ince had been winding shez up all game calling him nationwide. So shez lamped him, which was fair enough.

 

It can’t be that there were players out of shot who were playing McManaman on, because Willard (sorry for the swear word) had sent every fecker off.

Complete set of $hithouses them scousers were.

If that season did one thing, it was open my eyes to how some of these teams and players truly carry on compared to how they’re portrayed on MOTD.
