Video of Ashley Barnes' sending off at Bolton

[Foolg]

No, I didn't see the match, but are you saying that he dived, and in the process nearly tripped the ref up?

Wouldn't be suprised.

The only thing Barnes did in his 90 minutes today was manage to claim for 3 penalties by going down clutching his face. Sadly, he was not touched anywhere near his face on any occasion. Oh and yes, I was there, this isn't judging by the radio commentary.

 

[Trigger]

I saw two of the so called incidents and quite frankly it was embarrassing.

 

[kevo]

If it was accidental, presumably the club will appeal the red card. If they don't. then Barnes obviously intended it.

 

[Gazwag]

Oh well at least he won't get sent off against Palace

 

[Trigger]

He is incredibly thick as proven time and time again.

 

[Albumen]

I like Barnes. On the ball he's a very intelligent player. But if he did actually trip the ref up, that's not going to help our run in and will get no sympathy from me. If. I can't tell from that footage although it does look like it.

Barnes was interviewed straight after the game. He said "At the end of the day, we deserved to go through to the next round..."

[mistahclarke]

O well I've just received my first infraction sine i joinedfor saying that word....never knew you weren't allowed to say any swear words at all I say them rarely ..and I stand by my post ...so I am some what aghast and I think I'll clear off from the board...watch but not post from now on...it's been fun

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Having just seen the video I believe a visit to the FA will be the next appearance from the idiot. Somehow think we will not see him again, certainly this season.

 

[Discodoktor]

In English please

Sorry on my phone and on the train. Basically I actually think Barnes behaviour was acceptable considering the decisions. I can't believe I am saying that! But it was a game worth investigating.

 

[tweenster]

Please explain on what level could attacking the ref be considered acceptable? I was at the game and whilst the ref was, at best, inconsistent, there was still no excuse for what Barnes did. Did you see Ulloa tell Barnes to get up after one of his 'injuries'? I think that even the players are beginning to tire of his antics.

 

[Husty]

Open and Shut, he'll be lucky not to get a lengthy ban.

Wow. This is the kind of thing you miss when you're listening to the radio. I'll support Brighton all day long as twice on Sundays, but (and assuming Barnes was diving all other the place) I feel as though we shouldn't have to put up with that kind of behaviour - with players that feign injuries, dive, or disrespect the ref. I call out players on other teams when they pull that kind of rubbish and I'll do the same when he's an Albion player. It's sad, it cheapens the game, and it makes the team look bad.

 

[Woodchip]

I've always tried to defend Barnes, but on this occasion I don't think there is any defense. What a clown. Straight red and dump him in the reserves until the end of the season. ****ing stupid thing to do.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Some behavioural issues which I doubt he'll ever shake off once the red mist comes down. He'll end up as a good League One player when he finds a club that are prepared to accept having a loose cannon in their side.
It will be interesting to see if the disciplinary committee view the offence in the same category as striking an official. If that is the case I would expect Barnes to be banned something like 8 to 10 games, or maybe longer. They could well make an example of him, added to which his previous disciplinary record does him no favours.
It's all very frustrating for everyone who wants the club to succeed.

Looked like needless abuse to what was clearly a joke that passed over your head. wont miss your postings if that's how you usually are. T'ra

 

[dingodan]

Clearly a dive by the ref.
