Was Gus holding Barnes back or was Barnes holding Gus back and what actually happened

...I was watching the ball!

Gus held him back, pay attention

 

[Mellotron]

Tranmere player went in late on Barnes after he'd already kicked the ball, Gus had to hold Barnes back and pushed him in the opposite direction. Barnes has a temper on him but Gus always seems aware of this and keeps an eye on it. Superb man manager.

Alright , I saw Greer come in and haul Barnes away.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I couldn't really see what happened either - as some bugger had stuck a bleedin' dug-out in the way.

Gus thought that Barnes was going to react so he held him back

Gus held him back, pay attention

And awarded a free kick to us!!

but booked Barnes?

and Tranmere player

 

[Easy 10]

Barnes lost it after the challenge which Gus was also FURIOUS with - he was simultaneously holding off Barnes (almost by the throat at one point) and pointing / remonstrating at the Tranmere player and the ref.

INCREDIBLE multi-tasking from the fiery latino

I prefer it when Gus gets sooo SCARED that he has to HIDE behind the dugout.

That's when we score.

Barnes reacted and grabbed their number 3 - the 3 pushed him away and tha is when Gus stepped in. Barnes' booking was not a surprise.

Me too. Hilarious but shows just how deeply he cares about this club.

I hate to be a party pooper, but I really think Gus needs to chill out sometimes. Going mental about a nasty challenge right infront of our bench I can completely understand (although I didn't actually see the tackle itself so I won't use today as an example), but spending a good 2/3 minutes screaming at the referree for not giving us a free kick on the half way line after Murray went down isn't on. Don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate the passion, but I think it'd affect us a hell of a lot more if one referree decides not to take it and sends Gus off, resulting in a touchline suspension, which would not be ideal at this important stage of the season.

This is how he is. You can't change him.

heretic!

 

[Scoffers]

Not sure I agree with that FFA, tbh. You can't just switch off his passion, I'd much rather have Gus and his passion, and miss out on a couple of games than have someone like Sven Goran Ericcson who sits there and smirks!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Look what happened to Samson when his hair was cur off (Not Kenny).

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Players will give everything they have and a bit more for a manager who shows such passion and goes into bat for them.

Manager shows passion = players show passion
