I'm suffering from premature E-publication

Slight typographical error in line two, 666.

You failed to put 'competitive' in inverted commas.

Other than that, a reasonable effort - much improved. Next time, try comedy writing.

"Barnsley have never been as trounced in an FA Cup match as when Derby beat them 1-8 in 1897, which was OOE’s debut “Report" I believe"

666 - 10 - one of your very best reports. I imagine Eddie is composing his reply right now.

I did, Peeder - I did - and an excellent observation regarding my first match report.

Mrs OOE's great-great uncle played in the cup tie. I went to the game on Wheildon's Horse and Cart service with the rest of the Castle Donington Boot Jackanapes.

Was that when your sobriquet was young two eyes Eddie?

Oh the memories of THAT away game. We took almost 9,000 to Barnsley, 666.

We filled the North, West, South and East stand If I remember rightly? I think there were even rams fans on the roof, as we simply couldnt fit in. The ground may hold 20 odd thousand, but you have to remember each Barnsley fan has the Yorkshire ego to take up 3 seats

I was there too, Serial, taking up only one seat back in those halcyon days of winning football and svelte figures..

Booze ban?!! "Bar Adjacent" that can only handle the cribbage team and four Away supporters at a time?!!

Handy guide to Derby County:

The only team who wish they were Leeds United.

They play in white as a tribute, and envy their success.

Brian Clough left Derby County to be Leeds United manager.

Everyone hates Leeds except Derby "Leeds United Tribute" Football Club.

Did you know that 'Brightontyke' is an anagram of his real name?

Gherkin Botty.

Sums it up really.

A goal-frame has more posts than the barnsley board.

"Tosswipe."

What a privilege 666! Barnsley's most erudite citizen has deigned to post on your thread.

2 crackers in there 666 : the St.Peter/Gates analogy and 'Emuphobic"

I might add an anecdote from the region. I once had a gig (mercifully) cancelled in Kendray (Barnsley's Chad) due to the fact that a couple of guys had recently dug up someone's just-interred father and propped him up at the tradesmen's entrance as a 'laugh'. Nice.
One can only hope that these chaps try a similar prank when we play them and prop him up in goal.

It was perfectly justified, Moj.

The guy only died to Welsh - sorry, Yorkshire, out of buying the next round.

It is common practice in those parts Eddie

Oh look - we've drawn Leicester's most intelligent fan into the thread.

When they finally lay him to rest and have to work out his age for his gravestone (hopefully soon), they'll just saw the top of his head off and count the rings.
