There is talk on the Barnsley forum that playing Cardiff in the final would guarantee us a UEFA Cup spot win or lose due to some rule about a Welsh club not being allowed to represent England in Europe. Treating it with a pinch of salt for now. If true, I suppose I'd like to avoid them in the semis but there's also the not too trivial matter of actually reaching the final to think about first. http://www.rivals.net/News/pgArticle.aspx?artid=2483_3194191A statement from the F.A read: "It's an unique situation for Cardiff as they play in our association yet belong to another one in the FAW. Representation would have to be entered by us. They are not eligible for an English place. Those rules are set in stone at the start of the season and they enter in that knowledge." |

I would love to see Barnsley in Europe..taht'd be great! |

It'd be criminal if he doesn't play: Goalkeeper Luke Steele could miss out on playing at Wembley for Barnsley as the club have failed to reach a deal on his future with West Brom.
Steele has been on loan with the Tykes and helped them beat Liverpool and Chelsea to set up an FA Cup semi-final against Cardiff at Wembley on 6 April.
But his loan has run out and there is an impasse over extending the deal.
Talks are apparently deadlocked over who pays the player's wages during a proposed extended loan.
West Brom have been subsidising Steele's wages and the stumbling block is believed to be that they now want Barnsley to pay the majority of his wages. |

You would have thought that Barnsley can now afford the wages?

If the guy wants to pay at Wembly that much he should forgo the portion of the wages that WBA have been paying. Simple. True also that if Barnsley see him as a good player for them they could use some of the gate receipts for him. I think its all just business negociation and it'll get sorted one way or another in the next couple of weeks. |

I no i would certainly rather give up 40% of my wages for a couple of weeks and play in an fa cup final (whether i was luke steele or cristiano ronaldo) than have an extra couple of grand in the bank by the comments of the west brom chairman would be suprised if this didn't get sorted out.Hope Barnsley get to the final they deserve it after beating 2 of the big 4 |

Cup hero Steele re-joins Barnsley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barnsley have tied up a deal to sign FA Cup goalkeeping hero Luke Steele from West Brom on loan, with a permanent switch taking place in the summer.
Steele, 23, was on loan when Barnsley beat Liverpool and Chelsea to reach the FA Cup semi-finals and he can now play against Cardiff on 6 April at Wembley.
His initial loan ended on Monday, but he has re-joined Barnsley and will sign for them at the end of the season.
But if Barnsley meet West Brom in the Cup final, Steele will not be eligible.
West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace said: "I'm delighted for all parties that we've been able to reach agreement."
606: DEBATE
Tell us your thoughts on Steele's move back to Barnsley
The deal was on hold because West Brom and Barnsley were thought to want different deals.
West Brom were keen for Steele to join on a permanent basis and also wanted Barnsley to pay more of his wages while on loan - the Baggies subsidised his wages by paying 60% during his first month's spell.
Steele will now be able to play in the FA Cup semi-final against Cardiff at Wembley on 6 April, but under FA rules, he would not be able to play if the Tykes meet West Brom - who play Pompey in the other semi - in the final.
Peace added: "We've always been happy for Luke to go back to Barnsley and play in the semi-final, providing the deal was right for us.
"We felt we were a big help to Barnsley by allowing Luke to join them for a month and heavily subsidising his wages.
"Now Barnsley's financial situation has changed due to their lucrative FA Cup run, we've managed to strike a deal which suits everyone."
Steele will go straight back into the Barnsley team for their important Championship match against Sheffield United at Oakwell on Saturday. GL Sheriff |

Good day all round, footie-wise. Steele re-signs for us and I got my Wembley tickets (cracking seats too by the looks of it).
Now I can forget about it all for 3 weeks and pray we don't get relegated in the meantime.

I'd be looking at WBA as the best value e/w and Cardiff as a long shot. Cardiff are on a real hot streak and over the last 2 seasons have been superb on their day, just lacking consistency
gatso's picks p2 w2 f7 a0 this will be updated should they both win next round, if they lose I'll keep quiet obv bit late with the update. gatso's picks p4 w4 f14 a1 I'm like the anti-Bandit, it's almost spooky |
