Well done the Barclay

[Rustyboy 2]

As a Snakepit regular I think praise must go to the Barclay.

I think they raised the players in the second half last night rather than the players raising the crowd and changing the words of green yellow army was a masterstroke.

Agree with this Rusty - changing the words a masterstroke? I don''t understand that?

I thought as a stand we did really rally behind the players.

I do think replacing Alex Neil in the chant made a big difference as those not in support of AN then joined in, made a big difference.

We thought it was extremely quiet in the first half, what set the atmosphere off in the 2nd half? There didn''t seem to be a catalyst for it. Did Bernie Patterson turn up late?

I was in block E last night. You''re welcome.

Re Bernie P, I was too young to be a ''Barclay boot boy'' (first game was v Arsenal in early 70s aged 6-ish). But his reputation preceded him...

Can''t do the link but looked him up as I was sure there would be a thread on here about the Barclay in the 70s... you forget how scary it could be to go to the football back then.

Cheers for the link Woodman. Enjoyed reading Rudolph''s post, I must have been stood next to him on all those occasions, and just never realised it!

I think there was a player spark, around 5 minutes into the second half mulumbu stormed a couple of tackles, and shortly after had a shot; that was when the crowd sensed a win was on and finally sprung into life

The players reacted to that, with the brady miss and the glorious winner, both within 5-10 mins of the first committed OTBC for a while.

It does indeed show what a little support rather than booing a players name can do.
