Scouting the right player and then buying the wrong player.

Or, scouting the wrong player and buying him thinking we had bought somebody else!

Being the first club to be fined for blatant Covid breaches.  Not as if there has not been any warnings

In the 1980s,  the Ramsdens (Directors and supermarket moguls) sold the late great Kevin Moore to Southampton - and threw another player in the deal.  2 for the price of one,  or, buy one get one free.

Refusing to buy Joe Waters for £8,000 until the fans chipped in with the cash.

This is genuinely the most depressing, upsetting, and miserable thread I've read I think. Some stand out for me.

1. THAT Fans' forum! The whole "you lose trust, Matt" exchange plus the JF sycophants in the audience. I think that sticks out as a low point as far as PR is concerned.
2. Closely following that is just the run-up to the sale, Day's defense of May, just conducting sale negotiations in public summed it all up.
3. The Holloway era. The terrible, shocking, unforgivable recruitment, the darts saga. I'm getting angry just writing it out.
4. In terms of football that day at Halifax away stands out for me. Fans chanting "Hursty is a w****r, the whole sage surrounded the alleged racist abuse at Toto after FT. Yes, we had some bad footballing days, Burton, Chasetown, Braintree, Hartlepool, Oldham but in terms of the overall toxicity that stands out for me.

We are a bit of a basketcase it has to be said. No wonder nobody wants to sign for us!


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Repeated, spurious claims to Ofcom after being called a ‘plonker’ by Radio Humberside

Another defeat for Fenty and further waste of public and Club money. Plonker

The Club’s name tarnished by appearing on the same Ofcom bulletin as withheld complaints about ‘Dangerous Sêx Games’ on Virgin TV and an episode of Casualty where a bomb (possibly hidden in women’s sanitary products) had exploded on a coach, leaving gruesome shots of intestines spilling out of stomachs like the ghastly offal remains of our beloved football club

Wow. What an incredible litany of absolute, unadulterated shambolism.

Just when you think it has to stop, it keeps on coming like the medically significant episode of diarrhoea I suffered following a prawn vindaloo I ate at Barnsley’s 17th highest rated Indian restaurant (source: Tripadvisor) a couple of years ago. A deeply unpleasant experience by the way, much like the last sixteen years enduring football’s equivalent of faecal incontinence.

The lack of apparent progress in this transfer window is a stark reminder that the ghost may live on after the witch is dead, but whatever happens we must remember that a club is ultimately defined by its fans rather than its owners - at least at this level. We’ll get back again, should we have to.

Count your blessings in these tough times. The circus tent is being deconstructed.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Being told we had to take the humps out  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
