LondonBristolian Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Was just looking on the Barnsley message board to see if there is any update on the injured lad and saw this. It's about video footage of Kalas and Moore appearing to scuff up the penalty spot whilst their guy was down injured. http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/cheating-bristol-players.296582/ I suspect it goes on all the time in the game but have to admit it doesn't exactly cover us in glory. I recognise that, in the past, we've been a lot less street-wise than some other teams and teams such as Preston and Cardiff have tended to get one over us due to being more willing than we have been to engage in shithouse behaviour. And I get that, if other teams are wiling to gain any advantage they can, then we lose out by not doing the same. But, at the same time, I really wish this sort of thing wasn't in the game at all.

ralphindevon Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 No, I don't want to see our players doing this, it's almost childlike cheating and A-it didn't work and B- it makes you look like a bunch of ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin-hugh-blind Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Loved it. Shows how competitive they are. Been going on against us for years. So pleased Chino deno has that grit, it clearly transfers to the players. For all his lack of experience, he clearly knows the English game. Shame he didn't sky it!

nickolas Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Cant wait to see more of it. Hopefully we’ve learnt our softies lesson of too many years and we are finally going to toughen up and be streetwise. Pro sport is tough. We have been soft for far too long. Long may our change continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I dont care what they think of our players to be honest. There's some of that forum who seem like they are being outraged on behalf of someone else..... grow up Barnsley FGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have read their message board before. They are amongst the nastiest and bitter bunch of supporters I have come across.

HoldenBall Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Love it. Shows the players care and want do anything for 3 points for this club.. why on earth would anyone care about what Barnsley think? If they want to talk about poor sportsmanship I’d say celebrating Wildy at staying in the league because of Wigan’s administration is vile and disgusting. Much worse then stepping over the penalty spot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done lads Holden uses the ‘ margins’ that have an affect on the game. Chris Martin is a horrible footballer to play against, he goes down like hungry tart but by Bob it’s affective. I hated it when we faced him but appreciate the skill he has and his experience to gain possession for the team. We don’t have a team of top six Prem players so we have to exploit every possibility we have to gain the advantage. Let’s talk about fair play when refs and the FA are being fair to unfashionable clubs like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Who cares what Barnsley fans think? The only fans I can think of who are actually on a par with Rovers fans. Look at Nightmare yesterday. Turns nasty in a split second. Not to mention the lunatic who wanted Gary Johnson dead. I would ban all Barnsley fans from this forum tbh. The only City fans crying about this are the ones who can’t get over the result yesterday. Everyone else has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 One thing I would say is I think Woodrow looks a handy player nowadays. Think he will improve with age and be a Martin/Wilbraham type. They're lucky they have him, otherwise they are dead certs to go down. He is a thorn in our side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Imagine being bitter at a club for taking Lee Johnson away. They should have our flag flying somewhere in their stadium. Seriously though, what an odd bunch. Had a look about the penalty and they were all saying he was head hunting and leading with his elbow/forearm. Overall just seriously unpleasant group.

Bar BS3 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'm looking forward to the day that we have a reputation amongst all other clubs supporters of being hard, nasty bastardd to play against, whilst playing decent football to beat them that way. You don't need to be Warnock or Pulis style anti-football, to be streetwise and tough opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 1 hour ago, dREDful said: Loving the new nasty City personally! Being tougher, more combative and competitive and applying better game manangement, yes. What I suspect the majority of us won't want to see is unsavoury and blatent gamesmanship such as simulation/diving, and I think scuffing up the penalty spot comes into this category.

Think QPR did it against us in 2019 when Fam scored a late pen. Iceland vs England last month no one complained when James Ward-Prowse did it.

One Team Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 1 hour ago, dREDful said: Loving the new nasty City personally! I am out of likes but completely agree. One of our weaknesses has been not mastering the dark arts of shithousery, something all the top teams in the Championship do. It might not be fair or proper but if you want to compete you have to do it. This is all small marginal gains stuff and can make a difference in a season.
