Barnsley message board quote.

[Everest]

I'm sorry but the red was absolute homer, especially in the first half. Every 50-50 went to us.

Even though he didn't even dish out a yellow when Tanno was scythed in half?

 

[Skaville]

I don't understand why you'd be surprised by that, it's what I'd be saying if I was a Barnsley fan. They had loads of the ball and in the second half were clearly by far the better team. However, as good as they were up to the edge of the box, they didn't have much IN the box and they kept shooting from 25/30 yards with what can only be described as shocking accuracy levels.

Fully agree. I thought the scoreline flattered us and on the balance of play they were worth a point. Luckily, football isn't fair like that.

 

[Skaville]

Stats on here suggest:

Possession was 50/50
They had more shots on target and also more off target
We conceded 5 fouls, they conceded 17!

BBC Sport - Brighton 2-0 Barnsley

I didn't think that challenge was as bad as it looked. Tanno went in with a high foot, the barnsley player turned to protect himself as he jumped and body checked tanno, who fell awkwardly.

 

[DerbyGull]

They have a point to be fair.
Brighton:









Barnsley:






Though we can all still dream, that one day, the whole world will be like Barnsley, and we can forever live in peace in a happy, harmonious society.

It was the ONLY song I heard them sing

Yes

Oh for gods sake. I hope that there were a fair few Brighton fans doing this I mean BRIGHTON a SHITHOLE!?!?!?!

 

[Hiney]

Why oh why would you still choose to have your forum in that format It's like 1998.

Don't forget, if you live in Barnsley, it IS 1998

Whoever designed churchill square looks like they also popped upt north

 

[Chesney Christ]

The ref gave absolutely everything our way, and had Barnsley had a decent striker the game could have been a draw.

So, err, I agree with the Barnsley fan.

 

[Mellotron]

Even though he didn't even dish out a yellow when Tanno was scythed in half?

That'll be the moment where Tanno went flying in with his foot pointing at the other guys' chest?

I was surprised at the time when the free kick went our way.

 

[Chesney Christ]

Yes, the "Brighton's a shithole" song was stupid but we have sung that at EVERY SINGLE AWAY GAME this season, and it is getting SOOOO boring.

Christ, we even sang it at Ipswich. Its been rendered completely meaningless. See also: "We pay your benefits". Zzzzzzzzzzz.

That was a foul by Tanno. He kung-fu kicked the poor fella in the chest.

 

[terryberry1]

Think the Barnsley bloke had a point. On another day they could have got a point at least. We have had lots of games like that lately though so have so sympathy for them.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Barnsleys to midfield players were among the best on the pitch (Perkins and Drinkwater I think).

I thought they looked half decent but lacked a threat up top.

A draw would have probably been fair. Not that I am complaining.

This - they hit the bar had one cleared of the line and numerous goal attempts. They looked good till the let there number 20 shoot.

Totally agree!

As for the game, Barnsley have a very talented manager who genuinely has a small budget. Remember how well his Rochdale team did against us up there last season.
