Barnsley vs Derby

[Manofpride]

Well I was gutted we lost, why play in a competition and play a second string of players because you don't want the poor buggers to get injured or knackered. If I'm paying good money to support and watch my team I think the best the club can do is put out it's best team and go all out to try and win the match. Why have cup competitions if no one is interested in it! It wouldn't be so bad if football clubs made all cup tickets free if you're a season ticket holder but no they want you to hand over money while they're not one bit bothered about competing in the competition. Once again the supporters are being shafted!!!

It seems you and I are in the minority MOP, I remember when cup competitions were a welcome distraction from the "humdrum" of the league a chance to play a different team and a real chance of winning a trophy, but now they are just that a distraction it seems from the endless toil to reached the promised land and then tediously strive to be a mid table Prem team If they get there.

I guess its a sign of the times, football as a sport becomes less and less interesting and the fans are left wondering why they bother.

Whether we win or lose lads, Im always interested to see and hear the other side of the fence when it comes to a Barnsley v Derby match.

Hey Whiteram, I don't know you but I reckon you will get fed up of me on here pretty soon lol. I like that point though and I would also agree, why enter a competition with little or no interest in it to begin with. We all had that attitude a few years ago down in Lg One when it came to the old Associate Members cup (Johnstone's Paint trophy). But hey we stuck with it and treat it like it meant something, and we won it.
It was our first ever win at Wembley and the memories will be there forever. Know what I mean!.
