Exactly, people slag Barnes off for acting like that - but then act like it themselves !!

Exactly. I am firmly in the latter camp here. We needed Barnes now more than at any other point in the season. I think you can give someone a second chance (after Shef Weds) but he has now got himself sent off again and that is unacceptable.

It's Gus' fault.
He plays a player out of his depth week in week out in the championship. So It's no wonder Barnes gets frustrated. Ashley Barnes is a league 1 or 2 player....I wish I was. I hope he moves back down to the level he belongs as although I don't rate him and don't want him in an albion shirt (and I'm tempted to say told you so to a lot on here, but I am probably on their ignore lists anyhow.) he doesn't deserve some of the comments that will probably come his way.

The ref will always stick to his initial decision... for a straight red foul and abusive language seems about right.. professional footballers should know better

Irresponsible behavior, but not a club career ending action. People may be forgetting good old Charlie for example and his long ban for biting someone's face (nose I think) and getting sent of again on his return for punching someone - I don't recall too many back in the day demanding he never played for us again.
Sadly some people have dodgy temperaments - that's life. That said a good 2 weeks wages fine should be forthcoming.

I am guessing it was more than a few ff's from Mr Barnes. I have lost count of the times he has screamed at the officials, so its not surprising that eventually he would encounter one that was not in the mood for it!
Greer has had two and is still here. You are talking shite.
Errr, can you not see a difference? Anyone with brains knows when it is acceptable or unacceptable to swear. His lack of intelligence is staggering.
what on earth has that got to do with anything? Penalty for me is getting an infraction/ban from a forum. Penalty for him is getting a 3/4 match ban when we are desperately in need of his services to get us to the promised land ... he is supposed to be a professional
Spot the difference?

Its more the point of it in general rather in specific circumstances but carry on.....
Just very ironic to be abusive about a player sent off for being abusive......
I suppose ooh aaar could be misinterpreted as w*nk*er
How am I being abusive?
I was at the game and no excuses for Barnes. Was never a penalty and Barnes just loses it when he feels he has been wronged. He should be fined the max by Gus and told to ****ing grow up.

I don't think Poyet is as tolerant of petulance as Adams was all those year ago. In the summer, being 2 divisions higher and much wealthier than we were then, Poyet can afford to be choosier about what he tolerates and how he could replace him. I am not sure we have the squad depth to freeze him out completely for the rest of the season, but the odds on him leaving the summer are a lot shorter than at 4.40 this afternoon.

What?
Yes, but they aren't footballers that know they will get sent off if they swear at the officials are they? Your argument and defence is pathetic. I can't believe anyone is saying they want to see if we appeal! There's nothing to appeal! The ref may have over reacted, and I'm sure Barnes wasn't the only player to swear this afternoon but that doesn't excuse him. He's more of a liability than an asset right now that's for sure.
As a professional he should have known better and getting sent off seconds from the end for foul and abusive language is unforgivable. It leaves the team witn 1 striker, a striker that is not yet 100% fit due to lack of games and consequently will struggle with 5 games in a week and I think you can understand peoples annoyance with barnes. His action or reaction could be extremely costly.

It is is possible but not as likely as him giving the ref a load of foul mouthed petulant abuse sadly!
