The Barnsley Announcer last night

[W12_Ranger]

I think the only name he got right on the teamsheet was Tommy Smith, then when we are trying to KO for the 2nd half he is still reading out the HT scores

Even the Barnsley fans know it

That thread on the Barnsley forum is very funny.
Personally, I didn't hear the team announced -- but it was funny when we were singing "Shall we sing a song for you?" for those poor cheerleaders when their music failed, and when the music didn't kick in until the players were already lined up on the pitch was desperately amateurish.
No wonder their fans seem so embarrassed about it!

Yes it was very funny, he struggled badly with most of the names. Faurlins, Agyemang, Buzsaky were the best

and Danny Sh.ityou

[Hertford Hoop]

Oh yes forgot that one right at the end, did he say Daniel Sittoooooooo

He got Paddy Kenny right then announced "Clint Hall"....went to pieces after that! This is what he read out for Akos Buszaky verbatim:
"Errr Ak-Ak- Akarrss Berrr-b'derrr-derrr-berrr b'dacky" He was a dead sound-a-like for Ronnie Barker in "Open All Hours".

[LoftusRoadLad]

And they said he got exited when Taarabt scored !

[Balders1967]

And a Peter Kay (soundylikey) was doing the half time entertainment.

What about the cheerleaders at Half time - "Shall we sing a song for you"

What did he say for the rest of the team? (Saw the "Situ" comment on the Barnsleh forum!)

[superhoop67]

had about 3 attempts at Agyemang

[northampton rs]

I thought it was Jim Bowen (love a bit of bully)

[robbomk]

He even seemed to struggle with Marlon Harewood!

[Hertford Hoop]

Talking of Harewood, christ how he has lost his form and fallen down the rankings

Surreal... Kapersssussus Gorkisssus, Alexanderjeroh Faurlin, Wayne Route-Ledge were crackers too. Seemed ok with Aadel though!?

To be fair to the fellah when he read team out for second time just before kick-off he did mutter: Reet, 'ere we go... got some reet tuung-twisters 'ere.

He was a bit drab and boring too. Normally PA is a wannabe DJ with a bit of a voice - Barnsley guy sounded like someone's dad who'd been woken up at 3am.
