Comments on: A Salute to the Tykes: Barnsley out of FA Cup http://www.theoffside.com/leagues/england/a-salute-to-the-tykes-barnsley-out-of-fa-cup.html League Football, Soccer News and Views from Around the World Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:06:43 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Diane http://www.theoffside.com/leagues/england/a-salute-to-the-tykes-barnsley-out-of-fa-cup.html#comment-120583 Diane Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:39:30 +0000 http://www.theoffside.com/leagues/england/a-salute-to-the-tykes-barnsley-out-of-fa-cup.html#comment-120583 I thought Barnsley and Cardiff both played their hearts out yesterday. It was a brilliant match for the passion alone. Barnsley deserves to be the legend of the tournament (the LFC and Chelsea rousts were everything we hope for from the FA cup) but the fact that three of the four semi-finalists were from the Championship is also a great part of the story. Hearing the Cardiff fans interviewed before the match was tremendously moving. Much luck to them. I thought Barnsley and Cardiff both played their hearts out yesterday.

They weren't able to play with the same audacity that they had against Liverpool and Chelsea. Too bad. Lee, I think that had something to do with it.

Barnsley went into their Liverpool and Chelsea ties with nothing to lose, knowing they were up against big four clubs. Against Cardiff today, they could taste the final and might have been a bit more reserved against a team that was more on their playing level.

But Cardiff C, stuffed with albeit aging quality from Liverpool's bygone era, shut up shop so well they deserve to come back to Wembley. Should be a good match v Pompey, as well. Ian -

I too was rooting for Barnsley — the giant-killers. But Cardiff C, stuffed with albeit aging quality from Liverpool’s bygone era, shut up shop so well they deserve to come back to Wembley.

Should be a good match v Pompey, as well.
