It’s the first leg of the Championship play offs, that’s the semi final, before the final, two games though, when the goals are all added up it means the winners go through to another game. After that game they could become losers. The Duckworth Lewis method won’t be used in any of these games even though Dicky the bird is from Barnsley.
Barnsley v Swansea City EFL Championship Play Off 1st Leg Monday 17th May 2021 Kick off 8.15pm UK time Oakwell Stadium
FULL COVERAGE LIVE ON SKY
Match Officials Tony Harrington ( who always books players, and we mean in every game he and officiated this season ) began refereeing in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance at the age of 14, having completed a basic refereeing course whilst at school as part of the Duke of Edinburgh award. After four years as an EFL assistant referee and four years as a National League referee, he was appointed to the EFL Referees List in 2012/13 and has now overseen more than 190 EFL matches. Tony is the Grandson of Tommy McGuigan, who is in the Hartlepool United record books for top 10 number of appearances and goals for the club. Harrington will be assisted by Shaun Hudson and Richard Wild whilst Geoff Eltringham is the fourth official.
The championship play off final by all accounts leads to the saying “ The biggest financial reward in the world of football” Or similar. However, is it ? This isn’t the final, it’s the game before, but not the actual game before it’s the one before the one before. The last time Barnsley beat Swansea City in an actual league game was 1983. Strangely, in the 2006 final of the play offs Barnsley beat Swansea on penalties. That game was played next to the railway station near Leckwith, 36,000 swans fans attended the game that day. It could have been more but that’s the official attendance.
Barnsley’s record v Swansea City Games won: 24 Games drawn: 15 Games lost: 37 Includes FA Cup, League Cup and Play Off game.
Barnsley ‘Who wooda thunk it” ? Barnsley have been in two FA Cup finals but never at Wembley. In 1910 they lost to Newcastle, then in 1912 they beat WBA 1-0 after a replay. They have been at Wembley for an FA Cup semi final in 2008, the manager then was ex Swansea City player Simon Davey. They lost the game. In 2000 at Wembley Barnsley lost to Ipswich Town in a play off final and in 2016 Barnsley won the EFL Trophy beating Oxford. Well, “Who wooda thunk it “ ?
Barnsley in 1897 when they were called Barnsley St Peter’s
Again another tale in the story of Swansea City Football Club the club I love and I grew up from a gobby teenager to a grumpy oldman with my family & friends some of whom are not here anymore but I can still see them and hear them on the North Bank and in The Liberty
Good Luck boys [clap] [clap]
Change of ref for tonight
Geoff Eltringham has replaced Tony ‘whose coat’ Harrington. David Webb is now fourth official.

There he is 🤣
Great Goal, their big lummox he was up against couldn't move quick enough to stop him, great having a couple of big lumps in Defence until they're up against a player who can play, classic example there. Great Goal. Couldn't give a monkeys tits on how we play tonight, the result is all that matters, so far so good.

Horrible scrappy game ,but we're doing ok containing this dirty team
It's Barnsley it was always going to be this way especially as we have been incredibly poor against teams that play like that. Ref needs to start warning Barnsley's front line about their fouling. Outstanding goal (off-side tho.)

I think it’s an optical illusion with the second defender as he’s further away. Cullen is probably in line with the defender Ayew is closest to, and I would say Ayew is about half a yard in front of Cullen.

and yet the linesman was standing in line with it (not at an angle) and disagrees with you.
Don't think he had an optical illusion.

Ayew has scored that goal a few times this season! When he moved inside I could see it happening.
