Re: Barrow v Walsall match thread
Agree with most of what's been said here, but for me, that was the most significant performance and result I've witnessed since our return to the EFL. League 2 is a hard, unforgiving league in which industry, organisation and ruthlessness dominate. In two and a bit seasons, I've watched our team pla...

Re: Pete Wild on R5
Great interview, and comes across as a genuinely likeable fellow. His philosophy reminds me in so many ways of Ray Wilkie's. I'm trying to heed the advice he is giving to the players, in not getting carried away at this very early stage, but there's a very different feel around the place at the mome...

Re: 'We are Barrow'
The wall at the Crossbar/Steelworks end is toe-curlingly awful, and will make the club a laughing stock. However bad it looks from inside the ground on match day, you can bet your life it'll look even worse on the TV highlights show, or, perish the thought, if we get selected for a live cup match. I...

Re: Worst player ever to play for Barrow ...
I think a few of the players mentioned in this thread fall into the "disappointing for us" category rather than being out-and-out garbage, and some of them had mitigating circumstances like not being given enough of a chance to prove themselves, carrying injuries etc. One that springs to m...

Re: Is it just me ?
All fans, even long-term diehards, have to start somewhere. Every one of us has an entry-point, in whatever era or decade, and has served time as a Johnny-come-lately bandwagon-jumper, until we got a few seasons under our belt. Prior to 1981, I'd only been vaguely aware of Barrow's fortunes since lo...

Re: Dixon & co
Great to see Joel fulfilling the potential some of us always said he had. His decision making, distribution and general command of his area have all improved tenfold. For me, he's pretty much the full package now and up there with the best keepers in the NL. This club's most improved player.

Re: Your Feelings
Everything at the club seems somewhat half-hearted to me. The owners seem half-hearted. Many supporters, including myself, have become half-hearted, and it's obviously filtered through to the players. Even this forum seems to have lost the heart for passionate debate.

Re: Time to get serious
Club 'most professional it has been' according to in-form striker Harry P. http://www.nwemail.co.uk/sport/barrow-afc/article/Panayiotou-praises-more-professional-Barrow-AFC-under-Pennock-db15a992-e295-4568-9d08-0f8a8096feae-ds Sounds very encouraging; Cox's departure looking increasingly like a ble...

Re: Attractive Football? OR Hoof-Ball?
Attractive, expressive football every time for me. In my thirty-odd years as a supporter, creative and adventurous football has been the expected norm until relatively recently, and I believe the Barrow public would once more be engaged and excited by skillful, intelligent football, and more flamboy...

Re: The Next Barrow Manager
The Grant Holt option is interesting. He admitted on live telly that he would fancy the job if offered it, and from his perspective Barrow would be a good place to start his managerial career. Would he be right for us? In some ways, yes. Paul Casson will see an opportunity here to excite and re-ener...
