@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.social..to Rotherham County in 1905. Like Barnsley St. Peter’s, County played in the Midland League, winning the title 4 seasons in a row prior to WW1. This was their first season in the League having just been elected. In 1925 a merger with Rotherham Town created #RotherhamUnited. #BarnsleyFC 2/2
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1919, in the first ever Football League meeting between the teams at Oakwell, Barnsley played Rotherham County in Div 2 & won 4-0. Reds’ scorers were #AlbertNewton (2), Joe Halliwell & Brough Fletcher. Founded in 1877 as Thornhill FC, the name changed..1/2 #RotherhamUnited. #BarnsleyFC
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1998, Ashley Ward headed Barnsley in front in a First Dvision (now Champ) game with Bolton at Oakwell. Bolton came back to lead 2-1 at half-time & Robin Van Der Laan levelled in the closing stages. #BarnsleyFC #BWFC Sorry for grainy footage...

@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1981, Barnsley named the same team for the 8th game running for the away game at #Watford in Div 2.

#BarnsleyFC 1/2 and worth looking at 2/2!
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1993, Gerry Taggart was sent off for a terrible tackle after just 3 mins of the Div 1 game at #LutonTown. And Barnsley paid the price – losing 5-0. They also lost 5-0 at Middlesbrough the following - the two biggest defeats that season. #BarnsleyFC www.youtube.com/watch?v=450h...
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.sociala flurry of goals early in the 2nd half - Blues got one back, 2 mins later David Currie made it 3-1 & within a min it was 3-2. Playing against his former club, Tony Rees restored the 2 goal lead before Blues scored again after 89 & Steve Lowndes got the 5th after 90 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #BirminghamCity
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1988, the Reds travelled to face Birmingham City in Div 2. The Blues were struggling & Barnsley took advantage, winning 5-3 for a first win at St Andrews since 1947. John Beresford scored on 22 mins & 4 mins later Julian Broddle made it 2-0. There was.. 1/2 #BarnsleyFC #BirminghamCity
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1994, two goals from Neil Redfearn earned a 2-1 win against Swindon Town at Oakwell in the then Division 1 (now Champ'ship). The crowd that day was the lowest of the season in the league – just 3,911! #BarnsleyFC #NeilRedfearn #SwindonTown

@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1978, Barnsley beat 2nd placed Barnsley beat 3rd placed Reading 3-1 in Division 4 with goals from Alan Little (a thunderous free-kick), John Saunders & Graham Pugh, prompting complimentary comments from Reading's manager. #BarnsleyFC #Reading #AlanLittle
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOn the same day the Reds were at Charlton (see previous post), Arsenal played Chelsea and future Reds manager Nigel Spackman was sent off for this. Tbh, there were times I wanted to punch him when he was in charge at Oakwell 6 years later... #BarnsleyFC #NigelSpackman www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Crq...
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1995, Barnsley (in 3rd) played Charlton Ath (4th) at The Valley in Div 1. Look for Jan Molby standing off the cross for Charlton's goal + some poor marking & 'iffy' 'keeping from David Watson too. And a great Neil Redfearn free-kick to equalise.. #BarnsleyFC www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBwT...
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOn this day in 2018, a 3-1 win at #FleetwoodTown in League One. Mamadou Thiam's goal celebration always made me smile! #BarnsleyFC #MamadouThiam www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPBx...
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOn this day in 1978, the Chron reported on BFC Annual Results for 1977/78. Profit was £11,982. Gate receipts: £76,330 Players wages, bonuses and management salaries = £131,584, roughly £750k today 😮...... #BarnsleyFC #BarnsleyChronicle
@footballcentral247.bsky.socialKelly is making a nuisance of himself so far. The #BarnsleyFC forward's runs are giving the Hungarians something to think about #NIRHUN #UEFANationsLeague
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOn this day in 2013, Barnsley lost 2-1 at Leicester City. Jason Scotland scored for the Reds - the last of his 8 goals before he left for #HamiltonAccies in Jan 2014. #BarnsleyFC #JasonScotland 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Gy...
@barnsleyfcotd.bsky.socialOtd in 1985, Barnsley played away at Middlesbrough in Div 2 (now Champ'ship) & drew 0-0 despite playing the last 30 minutes with 10 men after Ian Walsh was sent off for elbowing Tony McAndrew. I think it's fair to say manager Allan Clarke wasn't happy with him! #BarnsleyFC #Middlesbrough #IanWalsh
