The Really Early 'FredManRave Made Me Do It' Barnstoneworth United Match Thread 11:22 - Mar 1 with 34192 viewsDorse

It was 1874 and Zebediah Ivanhoe Scrimshaw was reeling after being laid off from Bickerthwaites Clog Factory after 10 years service.
'Unemployed. On t'scrag 'eap at the age o' 17' he sighed to Hector his faithful whippet as he trudged wearily down roads that would later be copyrighted by Hovis.* Even putting another ferret down his trousers couldn't lift his gloom. It helped but only briefly. It were no good. He'd heard that a young man of action could make his fortune down int' that there London - mebbe there'd be a place for a lad such as him, a hearty cherub of a lad with only a hint of tuberculosis, a squint and an orthapaedic clog. He packed his bag, said goodbye to his 19 siblings and got onto the first train South...

Today, visitors from Barnsley are equally as dazzled by the sights, sounds and smells of that there London. The running water. The electricity. The complete lack of incesant brass band music. It all adds up to a heady assault on the senses. And yet, the hopes and dreams of Zebediah Ivanhoe Scrimshaw are still very much evident in the coal-streaked faces of the Barnsley team that come looking for fame, glory or a chip and gravy barm cake. As manager Valerian Ismael says 'It'd be easer for a Grimethorpe pigeon fancier t' gerrint Belper whippet racin' club'house than t' gerra win theer'.

2-0 Rangers.



* Even though they were actually in Shaftesbury.

We are more kick and rush than them just not as effective. We haven't got the ball down and played any football. Is that credit to them or we just poor tonight


We have played right in to their hands tonight , how anyone is “enjoying “ this is beyond me

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Every time one of our players has the ball, two or three of theirs are swarming round them.

Oh to have SIX decent forwards to pick from, two would be nice.

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

Shite goal to give away, that. Tough game at Bristol City on Saturday too so could easily be 4 without a win in the blink of an eye...


And anybody who didn’t see that coming has not been paying attention all these years

Game has changed since their 2nd goal, up till then game had a bit of flow to it and was end to end after that and particularly the whole of the 2nd half has been much poorer

We’re 3-1 down, and he’s hasn’t made an attacking substitution yet. Take a defender off, go to a back four and actually have a go at them

I've been a supporter of Warburton but his commitment to Dykes is going to cost him his lob eventually. The guy is criminally useless

He's also trying to do with Willock what McClaren did with BOS

Barnsley made their subs on 55" we made ours ten minutes later – as usual. Warbs' reluctance to change his in game management arguably cost us a goal.

Surprised with the comments tonight. We are not a good team.. we are not even a decent team... we are bang average and bang average teams are going to have games like this
Barnsley before tonight have won 5 on the trot which now looks like 6. They have found an identity and are good at doing what they do
Is it pretty no.... but dam effective
I only hope that next year we may de able to develop like Barnsley have.... but Warbs and the management have to sort out the forwards as what we have apart from Chaz is not good enough

Couldn't watch it every week but it's refreshingly different in a weird way. If nothing else it does make me a little more grateful for the way we've been playing the last couple of years.
