    Barnsley F.C is going to be the smallest, least glamorous club in the Play-Offs. You just know Barnsley are going to have to perform in spite of the match officials.

    This season's been bent as arseholes.

    It'd be ironic if we won promotion via a penalty shootout.

    Its's no exaggeration to say that but for the refs this season we would have won the Champions League!

    You just have to look at the the Accrington, Portsmouth and Burton away games. With better officials that would have been at least five points. That's been the difference.

    We’ve had some shockers without doubt. Honestly think though that the two best sides over the season are rightly going up. We’d all have been delighted back in August if offered 4th place secured with 3 games left.

    True. It's still a sickener though.

    Well, I would say that Accrington and Burton are both smaller a d less glamorous than ourselves, so that knocks the OPs hypothesis on the head.

    Given our record with the penalties we have had this season, feels unlikely.

    Peterborough are surely smaller and less glamorous. But I agree about the officiating must be frustrating for Duff and the players.

    If we keep up our scoring rate, we'd have to save 5. What is it we've had this year in all comps, four? And scored one?

    The ref would find a way to stop us taking penalties.
