Barnes red looks fair

[Gary Stevens Neighbour]

Just seen the highlights on sky sports news. Barnes goes in 2 footed and off the ground! Can see why he was given a red easily... Idiot

So why was the burnley player who had him around the neck not sent off

So why were SSN saying the ref sent off the wrong player?

 

[Gary Stevens Neighbour]

Fair point, one could say he was reacting to a bad challenge but that wasn't my point

 

[Everest]

Just seen it, and I still don't think it was a red.

 

[ees complicated no?]

was he not just jumping over the player and landed on him by 'mistake' ?

 

[Kazenga <3]

I haven't seen the replays but at the time I thought that the Burnley guy had gone in two footed and Barnes had tried to jump out the way?

 

[Jack Daniels]

Barnes jumped out the way. Landed on burnley player. Burnley player over reacted, red card for burnley player, for original tackle/reaction eithier or. In all other realities than this one. Fact

Well I've been learning on nsc tonight that apparently if you go in two-footed on an opposition player's shins and get nowhere near the ball it doesn't matter, the other player who gets a little bit angry at being assaulted is actually in the wrong. Or so the people who can't separate a blind faith in Albion players and objectivity will tell you.

Replayed it five times. Still cant see your point. barnes never makes a tackle.

I think that's what most people thought.

I Havnt seen a replay. My immediate reaction when I saw Barnes' tackle was that he may get a yellow. Then the burnley player reacted and I thought he may get a red. I was surprised that Barnes ended up with the red.

And I Havnt a clue what did for vincelot but he seemed to indicate he has been butted.

Ha ha ha - have you been learning Timmy?

At the game i thought Barnes was totally innocent. Having seen the tv reply Barnes comes in with a high foot and looks like he is going to stamp on the player but at the last second he jumps over the burnley player who clatters into him and then reacts and grabs Barnes around the throat. I think yellow for both players but just a red for barnes is just wrong.

 

[el_ciddy]

It opposites day, you should know that if you were at the game today

 

[Gary Stevens Neighbour]

He looks as though he is stamping on the Burnley player, that's a red!! Watched it a few times and thats my view

 

[vulture]

look at the pic on the burnley website clear red card looks a bad tackle

 

[bristolseagull]

Pic? First reaction was red for the scummy northerner.... I look forward to seeing it on the telebox tonight

Just seen it and as I thought at the time the Burnley player has gone in two footed and definitely should have gone. Barnes did leave his foot in but his tackle was not dangerous unlike the Burnley tackle. Then the same Burnley player who should have got sent off for the tackle grabbed Barnes round the neck. Absolutely diabolical decision.
