Are Barnsley wearing a Boro kit?

Hard to tell the quality is not very good. The badges on the left side do look similar. Perhaps their kit man forgot we played in red?
Good goal by Darren Wood

I think so, it does look more like our badge than their's. Barnsley had Umbro kits that season.

Also, it looks like that was that the season the FA decided not to actually use red or yellow cards in case they caused crowd trouble. I remember some refs actually brandishing 'invisible' cards.

Wasn't that the game when a couple of Barnsley fans got stabbed near the church on Linthorpe Rd opposite the park?

You can hear the Boro fans singing the National Front. I could never understand that.

Yes Archie, they had to borrow our strip, I think it was down to shirt sponsors & TV

It happened to us too. We borrowed Man Utd's kit away to City the year before.

Good manager too in big Mal, he slowly started to turn our fortunes around briefly

I look back with fondness at those times as a ST holder

Wonder if any of the same ones nowadays object to the taking of the knee - as 'need to keep politics out of sport'

and late 80's

 

[junos_boots]

That was when tv companies wouldn’t allow shirts with sponsorship but had no problem with all of the hoardings around the pitch

I thought it was outside The Welly??

Yes, you're right.
I was getting my stabbings mixed up with my slashings.

 

[Erimus74]

Yes, good shout Archie
