It's good to see Barnsley fans are taking it well


Recommended Posts

Spoke to a old time Barnsley fan last night and he was very calm about it.

 

Agreed they didn't feel sorry for Scunthorpe when they took him off them.

 

It's football if Manchester United came came in for any of our players they'd be off like a shot.

Good comparison, Barnsley raiding a nearby club for their star player. The question is did the Scunthorpe fans react in the same shameful way as the Barnsley fans slagging off Winnall calling him a snake and much, much worse?

As for us, the best comparison would be Leeds raiding our best players should they get promoted and we didn't. I'd like to think we'd be gutted but not react in the same way as many BFC fans have, but who knows?

I'm not sure we poached him. We made an offer, they accepted. We talked to him and agreed terms.Seems like a normal transaction to me, done by the book.

 

In Hirst's case, Everton haven't made an offer yet. Newspapers say they are about to make an offer, our fans ridiculed it, the club said he's happy here and not for sale.

Ahh, but you fail to see, we don't know the 'goings on' the point is some on here were in meltdown due to the Hirst tabbing up, yet when Barnsley get touchy on their forums they are a bunch of nobodies...everything is relative, we buy off Barnsley. Man U, Everton et al buy off us. (assuming we have players they want) BTW Hirst senior would have gone bar Francis...and good on him. I hate losing players to the rich clubs it does my strawberries in, I would imagine Barnsley fans feel the same. No need to mock, cos its hypocritical
