What was your most memorable Ashley Barnes moment?

[Kalimantan Gull]

I keep coming back to Cardiff away in 2011, great team performance with two Barnes goals - sorry one, penalties don't count - a stonking drive from 30 yards out.

Arsenal in the cup last season, storming goal and superb assist for Ulloa.

D&R at home, sealed promotion in 4-3 spectacular game.

Penalty at Selhurst, to stop the Nigels doing the double over us for the first time in 60 years.

All of these plus two great goals away at Cardiff in the 3-1 victory.

Didn't he score a wonder goals from 35 yards at withdean against Leeds on his debut?
This for me

 

[Hungry Joe]

That TOWERING header against Arsenal, class.

I wonder how many other failures as players have scored goals against Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Palace for the Albion

Nail on head.

the day we lost to scum in po semi turning round to other players screaming get your f ucking heads up we can still win this after the 1st zaha goal.

It could have been the shot that Speroni tipped onto the bar, if it had gone in

 

[NutterDave]

that time where he received a ball with his back to goal with a defender tight behind him and he fell over.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Kicking the ref

He then had that header cleared off the line as well didn't he?

His first game back after tripgate (6-1 vs Blackpool) was one of the most complete performances I've seen from a Brighton player in recent years

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

The headed goal against D&R that secured promotion at Withers. Great scenes.

The RIDICULOUS moment at the Amex, ironically against Burnley, when we got reduced to 9 men in the 11th minute, because Barnes got a straight red for getting taken out two-footed. Not so great.

Eh? Barnes went in terribly in that tackle, it's up on YouTube somewhere.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

When he signed for Burnley.

Agreed. This is my memory, along with his goal v Arsenal.

The "7-0 to the Albion" game - brilliant stuff, the Youngest Pottings still remember that day (after all it is not yet a year ago) as does their cousin as it was his first ever proper game.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Not so much a performance, but there was a game I think last season, possibly the one before, but definitely at the Amex where some guy in the crowd was moaning about Barnes being on the pitch, that he was useless and not going to score in a million years. Then he scored and the moaner said something along the lines of "great. He's got his goal, now get him off". Then when he stayed on the pitch, "why is he still on the pitch? he never scores twice", followed by a second Barnes goal.

I was there for the Ipswich game, too (Bannergate.) These young thickies behind me were giving Barnes grief from the first minute onwards. Even a man as mild-mannered as myself couldn't help but turn around and gloat at them as Ashley notched a cracking double.

That, and the Arsenal game for me.

Wrong. McCann tried to cut him in two, and Barnes tried to jump the tackle, and landed on him.

It was definitely worthy of a straight red. Just not to Barnes.

 

[Bold Seagull]

It's fresh in the mind, but being pretty much in line with his strike at Bournemouth was very special. Wonderful goal.
