Picture special - City 3-0 Barnsley

Monday 22nd October 2007

The Tigers played host to Yorkshire neighbours Barnsley on a Monday night, and recorded a convincing victory despite the presence of the Sky Sports cameras. The result put the Tigers into 13th in the Championship as their good start to the season continued.

 Not yet match fit following injury, Jay Jay watches from the stands.    

Live on Sky Sports, City compete for viewers with Celebrity Scissorhands. 

Early on, Bo Myhill tips over Jamal Campbell-Ryce's cross/shot.

Our first line of defence, Deano puts in a somewhat approximate challenge.

Man. United loanee Fraizer Campbell has a dream debut, after 7 minutes...

...he scores and celebrates by pointing to his favourite City website's URL...

...and leaping with unbridled joy. You see that photographer?

That's one of two on Amber Nectar image capture duty. Here's one angle...

...and here's another, as Campbell somehow carries the burden of Deano.

With Ashbee suspended, Wayne Brown wears the captain's armband well.

 
18 minutes in, Campbell grabs a 2nd. After making a hoon out of Souza...

...he shrugs off Nyatanga and fires in an improbable shot that beats...

...keeper Heinz Muller, who sold his naming rights to beans & yoghurt makers.

It'll be a free bottle of Sky Sports champagne for Campbell, who celebrates.

Bryan Hughes causes mayhem in Barnsley's box.

Sam Rickett's may need rhinoplasty, but he'd no doubt prefer BUPA
treatment to Barnsley thuggery.

Deano is on the receiving end too, and shows ref Andy D'Urso his shiner.

Physio Simon Maltby sure earned his corn in this game.

Deano is replaced by Stephen McPhee. Not quite a like for like change.

Michael Turner employs a not entirely legal approach to stop Odejayi.

Aussie fop Richard Garcia claims for a free kick. He doesn't get it.

Fraizer Campbell gets a standing ovation and some Brown loving after the
boss brings him off. Arf. 

Marney adds a third goal at the death to really rub the Tykes nose in it.

DuffMan and Horton applaud the 3-0 win and ignore the axis of toss that is
Howard Wilkinson, Russ Wilcox and Brian 'Pissedpants' Laws.
