There is definite distinction between fan and supporter. I support Brighton by buying my season ticket and stuff from the shop. I am a fan of Spurs as look for their results and enjoy the way they play but they would never get a penny from me in support of them. As a supporter I feel that I am entitled to have a view but do not agree with the abuse Barnes gets at The Amex. On here is a totally different kettle of fish he doesnt have to read NSC if he doesn't want to and can either ignore it or answer back if he wishes but from the sidelines it is somewhat different, he has no choice other than to hear it.

I take your point however, that Barnes is a quality league 1 striker, and perhaps a little lost without the Poyet arm round the shoulder?!?! Time will tell I guess... and the same goes for three or four other Poyet "stars."

it's clear that Ashley gets a disproportionate share of stick. Even on his very good games there are numerous clueless buffoons who choose to deride his every action (including, incredibly, some of his goals).
The fact that anyone should have singled him out on Saturday is ridiculous, but hardly surprising.

If this 'so called fan' reads this can I urge him to stop attending games as there is absolutely no chance of this kind of support helping the individual player or the team as a whole - an empty seat would be much more use to the team and to the fans forced to share space with this Barnes baiter. Over the years numerous players have been singled out for this kind of treatment from a tiny but all too vocal element, it has never made them play better or made them feel more committed to the team any more than any of us non footballers would benefit from such abuse from our customers, work mates, family members, friends, bosses or whoever...This kind of fan is the very opposite of the 'twelfth man' and a drain on the spirit of players and supporters alike.
I dont know why Barnes is getting so much stick, Did he not clear the ball from Forests Corner, then make his way up to the other end of the pitch and then nock the ball down for Crofts to score.
Seriously what more do you want him to do, two assists in the last two games, might no be ulloa who may have put them in but hes creating goals for others and for me that is enough for now.

The more I think about him the more I think he's TALISMANIC.
Heard abuse for Barnes even after he was off the pitch, when Crofts (I think it was) made a mistake. Brilliant.

Drives me insane which is one reason why I think he will not be in the squad for much longer (once CMS, Ulloa are fit). He really does frustrate me and I am sure many thousand others that watch. I cant believe for one moment in training he goes down as much and so easily, 90% of the time he goes down at the slightest touch or no touch at all and then looks at the ref for a good 10 seconds after. He is a big lad and NEEDS to do better for himself and the team. I thought he was very poor on Saturday, yer, he made a couple of good clearances in defence, but that's basics. He has gone backwards in my opinion and not forwards which is a shame as we really needed him to step up to the mark.

The anti-Barnes line is that Saturday's wasn't an assist; it was a fluffed shot.

Which was said at the time and how it appeared just in front of us but Crofts made the most of it.
A so called "fan" in WSU block B at the Forest game.
When Barnes was subbed did the following:
- stood up
- giving the w@nker sign
- shouted at the top of his voice telling him to f*ck off
When fans around him protested they were also told f*ck off.
Not the best form of encouragement for our only fit senior striker...
The guy is a nut-case and gives all the signs of being a very unpleasant and deeply disturbed person. He also frequently yells abuse at the away fans and gets so furious the veins on his neck stand out. Certainly wouldn't like him as a neighbour, either in WSU or at home.
I thought it was a cross-cum-shot but the point is it created the goal and if Kaz had done it everyone would be w**king themselves silly over it.
I think I know who your talking about but hes not the one in this situation... this aid person sits halfway back and normally seems alright imo... not that his actions are defendable

In N1G, row X someone decided to start shouting that Calderon is c**t and another person with him was shouting "is shit" in the Indigo Calderon chant. Why Anyone would want to say that about any of our players I don't know, but especially our most loved player. It was a weedy looking kid calling him a see you next Tuesday. I bet he wouldn't say it to his face.
