[Albion] To bother Paul Barber at the cinema or not last night.....

[portlock seagull]

What gives you the right to interrupt a family’s night out? I don’t understand people who do this to famous people. I’ve sat down adjacent or near to a number down the years and I would never dream of doing what the OP suggested (or asking for a selfie). It’s just so rude. Leave em alone, everybody deserves downtime and especially when they’re with family and friends.

You saw Barber? Out?

In fairness i think he came across Barber out Out

 

[Bodian]

You saw Barber? Out?

Took me a while - but very good!

 

[Nixonator]

Real question is why isn't he WORKING?

 

[wellquickwoody]

Stood next to Barber and his wife and I think father-in-law at the queue at the Marina to watch '1917' last night.....(don't bother watching the film if you are thinking about it, it's pants)

Do I ask him about signings? Or leave him alone as he's off duty? In the end thought, "Nah, not the right place, he's off duty."

Am I the only one here who thinks that, or do you lot think he's fair game at anytime to talk Albion matters?

P.S. Paul if you are reading this, dress your age...….you are not 30 anymore

I am normally in the ‘leave them alone, they are off duty’ camp. But not PB. I do not dislike the man, I think he does many good thing, but he also lectures from on high without risk of being challenged. He needs to be made aware of grass roots feeling, not neo liberal new fans preferences that sit all too easily with his modern football approach.

Maybe he went to try and understand what a successful forward line is ?

 

[Taybha]

Did he say shhhhhhhhhhhh to anybody during the entertainment

 

[vegster]

I do hope that, if he was carrying a bottle of water or pop, the cap was taken from him upon entering the cinema ?

 

[MrSnuggles]

Less than a week to go of the transfer deadline and he's out socialising!! Obviously no striker coming in then!

 

[phoenix]

I thought the film got good reviews?

Mustard sweater?

mustard sweater? now that would have been a gas

 

[vagabond]

Did you pass on regards from his pen pal ‘Swansman’?

 

[Mayonaise]

PB is a legend and we are lucky to have him. Definitively correct not to bother his family time but the bottle top comments are genius

 

[Official Old Man]

In fairness i think he came across Barber out Out

Surly it's Barber Out out.
I would have shaken his hand briefly, in a thank you gesture, and then joked about bottle tops.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I would have said "How much are you regretting that Chris Hughton move? I bet you wish you had him back for our 3rd relegation fight in a row."."

I have seen Mullers in Horsham a couple of times and politely ignored him. Hope That's ok.

Then drop him an email with your thoughts. He'll not only have the courtesy to reply to you but will explain why he has done what he's done (even if you disagree). Imagine even thinking about disturbing someone when they are on an evening out.

OP is only bitter because he approached PB for an autograph and was REBUFFED with 'Sorry mate, don't do signings in January'

I can't believe for one moment that you'd be so crass. Good manners would surely prohibit anything other than maybe a smile and a nod. But then I suppose that working at McDonalds no-one recognises you...

Love this thread, the thought that PB could bring so much amusement to NSC.
