RaspberryRed Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Having only caught the very end of the commentary from Oakwell I don't know the full story but it would seem that Joe Bryan accidentally injured a City fan whilst clearing the ball or a wayward shot. Firstly I hope that that person is fully okay which I'm assuming they are because the commentary said Joe went over at the end and gave that person his boots. He apparently received acknowledgement from all four corners of the ground A class act from one of our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hurt my feelings conceding so late, can I have a pair of your boots too please Joe, seriously though well done Joe, these players we have certainly show themselves in a good light.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Does that mean he'll have sore feet for the next game breaking in a new pair of boots or do modern boots not need breaking in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice gesture and hillarious ''Great Header'' response on twitter With regards John Terry then I know for a fact that he has screwed over 150 pairs of boots per year for over a decade but once signed they've raised a fortune for charity Any JT critics may point out that all charitible donations become deemed as 'Tax Deductable' with a decent accountant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeeebles Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 It was a great gesture from Joe who had already apologised at the time despite it being a complete accident, he went in hard for the challenge right on the touch line and the ball flew into the crowd and obviously hit the little lad. I have to say though again the reaction of some of the Barnsley fans right by the incident was ridiculous, screaming abuse and gesturing at Joe like he'd done it deliberately, complete tosspots IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he was applauded (Bryan) by our supporters at the end and he's received no end of good will from Barnsley fans on social media since. Even our twitter account made a point of referring to the incident, hence the photo above etc. I like this forum. It's populated by some very good posters who speak well and speak reasonably. But it does have a select bunch of absolute doughnuts. As does our forum. Moral of the story? In any great gathering of folk, there'll be a majority of good folk and a tiny minority of fcuking numpties. So let's not focus on the select few, eh? Have a good season. See you at AG.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 One of the few City players, past and present, who I would really hate to see pull on another club's shirt. It was distressing enough when Albert went, but if Joe departs I would be left mourning. The only answer is for City to get to the promised land so our Joe can fulfil his potential with City in Europe and get selected for England.

So going by the fact he towers over the kitchen units I can only assume LJ kept a crash pad in Barnsley and kindly invited the kid over for the photo. Mystery solved.
