But Swindon found themselves 1-0 down after only 14 minutes when Bart Griemink looked to have caught the ball following a Barnsley corner, then Barnsley Rory Fallon knocked the ball out of Griemink's hands in a 1950's style challenge, and the goal was given to the amazemant of everyone.
Adam Willis started the game in for the injured Dean Marney, but he had to go off injured after only 18 minutes, and was replaced by on loan Ifil who was expecting to get a game.
Danny Invincibile put Swindon back in the game on 34 minutes from close range from an angle. His shot at first glance looked offside, but the linesman kept his flag down.
Five minutes into the second half to referee went off injured, and the game was held up for a few minutes while the 4th official got ready to take his place.
The second half was a poor half, with little action, although both keepers did need to make good saves to give both sides in the game.
Overall a draw was a fair result, where both goals could have been disallowed. Sam Parkin had a quiet game with few chances of adding to his 18 goals this season.
