| News Comment | Bookies Stop Taking Bets on O'Neill at 12:07:25
I think a lot of people were simply being realistic rather than negative. I like MM for his plain speaking style, and all it needed here was for him to say "If they ask, I'm staying here anyway" and there would have been no room for speculation. Although the players say they've been professional and ignored it, I challenge anyone to say that the rumours haven't had a negative impact on the team. |
| News Comment | The Ex-Files: Jamie Clapham at 09:25:19
Could be quite mercurial, and seemed to really polarise the fans. I liked having him in the team, for a start he knew how to put a decent cross into the box (His ball to Alun Armstrong for the winner vs Inter at PR is an ideal example). I guess he was a proper wing back/left mid, rather than the left back position he was played in for most of his career, so wasn't as defensively minded as some would have liked, hence the Marmite treatment. What we wouldn't give to have him and Jamma overlapping down the left flank these days eh? TWTD. |
| News Comment | JET: O'Driscoll a Big Factor at 08:57:31
" I thought by returning to him I could get back to how I was " Speaks volumes, always expecting others to get the performances out of him, rather than actually applying a little effort himself. An undoubted talent, but a lazy wasteful one. Cheerio. |
| News Comment | Smith Extends Contract at 13:17:34
Very good news indeed. Also love the way it was just done and announced, without 6 weeks of "Smith rumoured to be signing contract extension", and "Delays in Smith signature - is he happy?" and similar waffle... |
| News Comment | Evans's Salary Cap Proposal Scrapped at 09:57:15
Can the FL send an email back to Scudamore telling him to wind his neck in or it "may be reasonable to reconsider his oxygen allowance" |
| News Comment | Clegg Appointed Badminton Chief at 14:25:36
Mistaken identity. I think GB Badminton are going to be really disappointed when Clegg arrives for his first day and hasn't got Compo with him. |
| News Comment | Debenture Holders Get Another 10 Years at 14:31:22
well carlisleaway, I don't think anyone needs to be a "financial whizz kid" to see that 7-8 years for the price of 10 is unlikely to sell well (except to you of course) |
| News Comment | McCarthy Admits Scotland Exit Error at 09:09:08
I think the "new club, new motivation" factor is a big part in this, JS is clearly playing as well as he can in the hope of earning a longer stay at Barnsley, or a decent move elsewhere for what will probably be his last sizeable contract. Pretty much what DJ Campbell was doing at PR (and he's hardly been sizzling the net since he moved to Blackburn, now he's sitting on that nice contract) I'd be interested to see a comparison of how many games it took JS to score his last five goals for us against the time he's done it at Barnsley. |

To summarise: We're laying off some staff, and we're going to charge you more for what you already do, because it's "good for the club".... |
| News Comment | Manager McCarthy Only Doubt for Boro's Visit at 15:58:57
Proven to be a good manager? Since when? No doubt his sides have almost always played an attacking game, but similarly, they've almost always matched this with defensive frailties. Loved him as a player, not sure I'd rate him as a boss. |
| News Comment | Jewell: Carson Not Back in Best Shape at 10:12:06
What was it Jewell said when we got rid of the fitness coach? Something along the lines of "These players are professionals, they all know how to look after themselves". hmmmmm. |
| News Comment | Moss to Referee East Anglian Derby at 10:25:23
hmmm, a card-happy ref for a local derby?? that makes no sense at all....these kind of games need a ref who can control a game a bit. His red-card count would suggest otherwise. Nice sarky end to the report, actually pointing out that a game finished 11 apiece :o) hehe |
| News Comment | Town Expecting Highest League Gate at 12:09:58
"It also tends to irritate us season ticket holders who committed ourselves for a season at much higher rates." Over the whole season, a ST holder still pays a much more favourable rate than if you bought the individual match tickets, so what do 1 or 2 promotional ticket offers matter?? Seems a rather churlish gripe. |
