ERRR hang on a minute! This is a picture of Barnes AFTER being tackled by that other idiot on the deck. Thier player fouled Ashley Barnes. This picture is incredibly biased in favour of Burnley. The ball isnt even in the picture. Any tosser sitting behind their keyboard thinking that Barnes has stamped on the player with no intent to win the ball is a complete MORON. At the very, very worst Barnes should have got a yellow! The other player should have almost certainly been red carded not just for fouling Barnes but for shouting right up at his face when he was on the floor. And if it was a 50/50, then BOTH players should have been carded. How on earth Ashley has got a red and the other tool has walked away scott free is a complete diabolical SHAMBLES. AN UTTER, UTTER DISGRACE.
Totally agree!
From the West Lower it looked like Barnes was the victim of a dangerous tackle and the Burnely players were trying to pull him to his feet and influence the ref against booking their player. We cheered when the red card was produced as we thought it was for the Burnley player. I think about 20 fans all around me fell silent in total disbelief when it was actually for Barnes. The ref, lino in front of the West Stand and the 4th official should never be allowed to officiate at this level again. They were dire and a disgrace to the game.
