Groundhopping Owl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Bit of a rubbish game and another frustrating result. But I'll still always remember today for a wonderful moment of schadenfreude when Winnall scored - I was torn between going mental at the goal and killing myself laughing as he sprinted off towards the Barnsley fans. Singing his name for the 10 minutes afterwards while the rest of Oakwell looked on the verge of suicide. It was just written in the stars that he'd score today, brilliant stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrap11 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I liked how he stood in the centre circle alone at the end applauding the dingles while they got reyt morngy n booed him. Not 1 phuck given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrbluesky Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 And then they score in the 93rd minute to wipe all the above out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Jumped over the netting and to that far corner! Unreal scenes ! Did the same again when he scored the second but unfortunately offside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) The thing that amused me was that celebration clearly burned the last of his bridges with Barnsley fans - so why not just embrace the pantomime villain status rather than have a very forlorn attempt to applauding the fans who clearly wished him nothing more than a painful death?

WalthamOwl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Was a brilliant moment, would have been even better if we managed to hold on to the 1v0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl 44 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That was the only real plus to come out of today. I was so chuffed he scored after the dog's abuse he's had off that lot for months. He's had everything from death threats to a Peppa pig thrown at him. The Barnsley fans are going nuts about his goal celebrations and saying he made gestures and should have been booked and banned etc. Real hypocrites considering what they've done to him.

Bluesteel Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I don't think we'd be any different. But it's amazing how fans think they can give a player stick and yet get wounded if it is reciprocated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine what it would have been like if Forestieri had left then come back and scored at Hillsborough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We are no better in many respects. Always makes me laugh when football fans get upset at an opposition player for scoring. There was one recently where a West Ham fan actually entered the pitch to confront Eden Hazard for having the temerity of doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Would have been better if he'd stood in the centre circle at the end giving all three Barnsley stands the vvvanker sign before calmly walking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Few things wind me up about football more than the sanctimonious piety of football fans The double standards is incredible - and with rarely even the remotest nod of recognition of of the obvious hypocrisy. The blinkers are usually well and truly on - amazingly quick to accept from their own players/team what they rage against from opponents If Winnall was getting pelters and decided to give some back then good on him - football karma I hope our fans who enjoyed it are just as accepting when it happens against us at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 It all depends on the situation. They abused Winnall all match. The stick he received on social media after he signed for us was terrible. Winnall's celebration was understandable and justifiable. If the Barnsley fans had given him a good reception then celebrating with the Wednesday fans would've been fine but not in front of the Barnsley fans. Although, all Winnall's celebration did was get the Barnsley fans and players going for the first time in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
