Barnsley have issued a statement condemning Tykes fans who threw objects onto the pitch during their side’s 3-0 defeat to the Blues at Oakwell last night.

A plastic bottle was thrown towards Blues keeper Christian Walton during the second half in one of two incidents.

A PA announcement during the match indicated that footage had been passed on to local police.

The statement from the South Yorkshire club reads: “Barnsley Football Club is disappointed by the behaviour of certain supporters during our Sky Bet League One game with Ipswich Town.

“Missiles were thrown onto the field of play in two separate incidents in the second half by supporters in the home end.

“This behaviour is against the law, unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The club is reviewing CCTV footage — this will be shared with South Yorkshire Police - and those found responsible will be banned from Oakwell and prosecuted.

“Incidents such as these incur financial punishment for the club and could escalate to stricter measures.

“It must be stressed that these are isolated incidents and the behaviour of supporters at Oakwell on the whole is exemplary.

“As we approach important games both away and at home, show your support in a positive manner and help achieve success, together.”

BlueWax added 14:25 - Apr 26 Perhaps you and your gentleman mate from Peterboro can meet up on Saturdays next season for games of snooker or something....whilst normal people can enjoy supporting their team. Not one within spitting distance of community stadium so meet half wit I mean way! Numbskulls!

Bazza8564 added 14:34 - Apr 26 Good to see the club all over it and acting in the right manner. Not sure i remember Wednesday being so good after "lightergate" last september when the game was stopped twice by their morons

Linkboy13 added 14:41 - Apr 26 Simular to what happened at Sheffield Wednesday where Wednesday scored a blatantly off side goal but the linesman was too frightened to put his flag because of the hostility. But Wednesday have got their just desserts because it's going to be us and Plymouth getting promoted automatically.

ButchersBrokenNose added 15:26 - Apr 26 Victory: I didn't realize that's why Walton was carded. If so, the club should ask the EFL to have his yellow card rescinded.

Marcus added 15:42 - Apr 26 Yellows can't be rescinded, only reds (and not when two yellows).

Bert added 16:58 - Apr 26 Good but strange there is no mention of the flare thrown on the pitch just before ko by an Ipswich supporter. Whoever it was should be ashamed of themselves.

TVRBlue added 18:54 - Apr 26 Walton was yellow carded because he'd kicked the ball high up in the air behind the goal (and amongst the Barnsley fans) to waste time, and that was why the ref carded him.
