Referee Darren Bond appointed for Barnsley v QPR ...

• QPR head to Barnsley on Wednesday night in the Championship
• Official Darren Bond appointed for the fixture
• Lancashire based referee will take charge of his third match this season

REFEREE Darren Bond has been appointed to officiate our Wednesday evening match up in South Yorkshire as the R’s take on Barnsley.
Based in Lancashire, Bond has been selected by the EFL and his officials for the match will be David Avent, Mark Jones and David Coote.
This will be the first time Bond has taken charge of a Rangers match since he was appointed to the league back in 2012.
He last officiated a Barnsley game in February 2016 when Heckingbottom’s men were defeated 2-1 by Gillingham.
He took charge of 36 games during the 2015/16 season including ten Championship matches and handed out 106 yellow cards and three red cards. The game he awarded the most yellow cards in was Scunthorpe vs Rochdale (6). He was appointed the referee for the Sheffield United vs Swindon Town first leg Play-Off match back in May 2015 and awarded the Robins a penalty, which Ben Gladwin failed to convert.
Bond awarded a total of ten penalties last campaign, which was six more than he did the previous season despite the fact he officiated in three more games back in 2014/15.
He has so far taken charge of two matches this season, one in the Championship and one in the EFL Cup and has handed out four yellow cards.

Barnsley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barnsley (/ˈbɑːrnzli/, locally ['baːnzlɛ]) is a large town in South Yorkshire, England, located halfway between Leeds and Sheffield. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it lies on the River Dearne. Barnsley is surrounded by several smaller settlements which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, of which Barnsley is the largest and its administrative centre. At the 2011 Census, Barnsley had a population of 91,297.[1]
Barnsley is a former industrial town centred on coal mining and glassmaking.[2] Although both industries declined in the 20th century, Barnsley's culture is rooted in its industrial heritage and it has a tradition of brass bands, originally created as social clubs by its mining communities. It is also home of the Barnsley chop.
The town is accessed from junctions 36, 37 and 38 of the M1 motorway and has a railway station on the Hallam and Penistone Lines. Barnsley F.C. is the local football club.

History[edit]

Cheapside, circa 1904.
The first reference to Barnsley occurs in 1086 in the Domesday Book, in which it is called Berneslai and has a population of around 200.[citation needed] The origin of the name Barnsley is subject to debate, but Barnsley Council claims that its origins lie in the Saxon word "Berne", for barn or storehouse, and "Lay", for field.[citation needed]
The town was in the parish of Silkstone and developed little until in the 1150s when it was given to the Pontefract Priory. The monks built a town where three roads met: the Sheffield to Wakefield, Rotherham to Huddersfield and Cheshire to Doncaster routes. The Domesday village became known as Old Barnsley, and a town grew up on the new site.[3]
The monks erected a chapel of ease dedicated to Saint Mary, which survived until 1820[citation needed], and established a market. In 1249, a Royal charter was granted[citation needed] to Barnsley permitting it to hold a weekly market on Wednesdays and annual four-day fair at Michaelmas. By the 1290s,[citation needed] three annual fairs were held. The town was the centre of the Staincross wapentake, but in the mid-16th century had only 600 inhabitants.[3]
From the 17th century, Barnsley developed into a stop-off point on the route between Leeds, Wakefield, Sheffield and London. The traffic generated as a result of its location fuelled trade, with hostelries and related services prospering. A principal centre for linen weaving during the 18th and 19th century, Barnsley grew into an important manufacturing town.
Barnsley became a municipal borough in 1869, and a county borough in 1913. The town's boundaries were extended to absorb Ardsley and Monk Bretton in 1921 and Carlton in 1938.[4]
Barnsley was the site of a stampede that resulted in the deaths of 16 children in 1908, at a public hall now known as The Civic, when children were rushing to watch a film in the building.
Barnsley has a long tradition of glass-making,[2] but is most famous for its coal mines. In 1960, there were 70 collieries within a 15-mile radius of Barnsley town centre, but the last of these closed in 1994.[5]
George Orwell mentioned the town in The Road to Wigan Pier. He spent a number of days in the town living in the houses of the working class miners while researching for the book. He wrote very critically of the council's expenditure on the construction of Barnsley Town Hall and claimed that the money should have been spent on improving the housing and living conditions of the local miners.
Governance[edit]

Opened on 14 December 1933, Barnsley Town Hall is the seat of local government in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley.
Barnsley was created a county borough in 1913, administered independently of the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1974, following the Local Government Act 1972, the county borough was abolished and Barnsley became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in the new county of South Yorkshire, along with nine urban districts and parts of two rural districts of the surrounding area, including many towns and villages including Penistone and Cudworth.
Elections to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council have seen the Labour Party retain control of the council at every election. Following the latest election in 2012 the council has 53 Labour, 5 Barnsley Independent Group and 5 Conservative councillors.[6] The borough council elects the mayor every year. On the day of the election, a parade takes place in front of the town hall in honour of the new mayor.
Barnsley is split into three constituencies, Barnsley Central, whose MP is Dan Jarvis of the Labour party, Barnsley East, whose MP is Michael Dugher of the Labour party, and Penistone and Stocksbridge, whose MP is Angela Smith of the Labour Party.

In 2011, Barnsley was:
94.7% White British
1.1% Asian
0.8% Black
The town had a population of 91,297 in 2011.

who can forget this goal

 

apparently we have all been invited to the barnsley forum for after match refreshments and a go on the caption thread

 

Brilliant Kiwi. Love the Nora Batty picture.

I will be in the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday night with about 30,000 others watching the biggest club game in Irish football history so it will have to be updates on the QPR game on my phone. I am going to see the Champions League qualifier between Dundalk and Legia Warsaw. Despite being a semi-pro outfit, Dundalk beat Bate Borisov in the last round. Bate have been in the group stages the last 6 six years and they have beaten both Roma and Bayern Munich in the competition in recent years so it was no mean feat to progress this far. They reckon the game is worth 14m euros to the winner, 2m in prize money and 12m for getting to the group stage. Dundalk's consolation should they lose the tie is a guaranteed place in the Europa League group stages. They have a pretty decent striker called David Mc Millen who is currently the Champions League highest goal scorer with 5 goals so far. Les and Jimmy would be wise to pop over and have a little look before somebody else snaps him up..

Enjoy the game everybody.

 

A win tonight and we are clear at the top! COYRssssssssss!!!!

 

Nice work, Kiwi ..............

 

I seem to still be banned from the barnsley forum

 

Kiwi,

Well done!

A very impressive and fully comprehensive introduction to the match.

I add a photo of some Barnsley chops for completeness. Hopefully we will see a competitive but clean match this evening..

 

In fact, clear by two points!

 

what did you do to minxy

 

Good stuff Kiwi!!

Now C'MON U RRRRRRR'S!!!!!!!

 

Michael Parkinson!
Dickie Bird!
Arthur Scargill!

We're going to give your boys one hell of a thrashing! At cricket if you want.

Nice one Kiwi, Nines is now fully redundant retired.

 

Good job Kiwi. I was meant to do it last night but got stuck trying to fix a problem with my boat engine. If the players can perform to your level tonight we should be cruising.

 

Another bloody Norwegian sailing around stealing our fish. Just wait until we put the 2000 mile exclusion zone in place mate, no herring for supper then unless it was landed in Grimsby and exported to you. The Baltic has always been part of Britain's territorial waters, I defy anyone to contradict me. (And yes I know Norway isn't on the Baltic, I'm a bit hyper this morning. Trying to balance out the downer that is Si, sorry, Uber).

 

Keep your preciuos fish, only use the boat to get out in the sun, bathing and watersports (and yes it is possible to sunbath in Norway)
