Match Day Thread: Barnsley (A) 3rd March 2026

Yeah that’s a penalty. Weak refereeing. If you can’t give it in front of an empty home crowd on a cold Tuesday you aren’t cut out to referee big games. Defender is only looking at our player and takes him down…. He had no idea where the ball was

Let’s see if Duff comes out for the second half.

How are we not two up?

If I was Duff I’d already be asking for someone to get the chair in the dressing room comfy, after another half time blasting of the ref.

A confusing disallowed goal and a nailed on penalty turned down. Complete dominance without the killer instinct. A little worried this is heading the way of many frustrating away results.

Not looking at the ball, holding the player bringing him down.

If a ref can’t spot that you do have to wonder.

That was an excellent half from us just gutted we are not one or two up. Midfield has been superb and Casey outstanding in both boxes.

Clearly a pen!! CBM is becoming my favourite player. Such a classy footballer

Only in Yorkshire?

You simply can’t trust a referee with arms covered in tattoos. It may be 2026, but some things shouldn’t change.

As for us, a sign of what we’ve needed to improve for a while. No real killer instinct or incisiveness into the box. At home, we do well with moments. On Saturday, we scored from a wonder strike, a route one ball over the top, and their keeper having an aneurysm. We do need to create more with the play we have.

Bottled it because it would also have been a red card as it was a DoGSO. Player wasn’t making an attempt for the ball so the Triple jeopardy law/rule wouldn’t have applied

I think it’s more of a national problem as opposed to just a Yorkshire issue. Clear pen

Ah yeah you make a good point. That’s got to be why.

That’s really strange because Mark Clattenburg was forced to wear long sleeves after getting tattoos to celebrate his “big game” appointments and the PL didn’t want them to be seen

Absolutely blatant penalty, hauls him down and not even looking at the ball, without the foul it is a huge chance for Harris too. Awful decision

Impressed so far, passing it well and best team on the pitch.

You need to re-read @Chairboys80 post!

Really encouraged by that. We look in total control except in the final third. You’d like to think at least one goal is coming given our dominance. Might need to be a bit more adventurous/take a risk but that was a fantastic half, the home fans are upset and set up very nicely for us second half.

Anywhere else on the pitch and that’s a foul and free kick to us.
