Obviously Val has become annoyed and upset by comments being made towards him and Barnsley while he’s been stood on the touch line.
No surprise there then !!!
People like Val that are relatively new to Barnsley need to understand how some people perceive Barnsley.

Politically we have been dumped on for decades by all political parties.
Culturally we have been dumped on for decades by various commentators.
In football terms we have often been dumped on by people working within football or football commentators - while being looked down on by our local rivals such as Leeds and Sheffield.

Consequently Barnsley is very unlikely to receive any favours - whether that’s from referees or from people stood on the touch lines watching the game.
The only people that can change the ingrained perception many people have of Barnsley is our owners.
