So pleased for him.

I've defended him on here but worried he was finished. Looked really up for it, today.

I’ve nailed him for months but he’s turned up when it matters. UTC.

I was close to tears when he scored. I'm so happy for him.

Save that for another day mate.
Just celebrate.

He truly took advantage of a very poor Blackburn defence

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 2:37 pm

Really pleased for him. I thought after Blackpool he was not going to get his mojo back but recently he's been very good.

Struggled to get a stream here in Calgary but saw some choppy bits and pieces second half (oke up at 6.30 - it's half 7 now) and missed all the goals but bugger me what a great result and way to sign off before the dull cup.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 2:40 pm

You only needed to see the congratulations he was getting after the match, not only from those playing, but from all those not in the match day squad to see how well thought of he is.

I don’t think we will see too many more days like from Barnes but what a swan song. Thank you, Ashley.

Delighted for him, just delighted. He'd been having a good game up to the first goal and then...

Well done Ashley I thought you were finished at this level but you proved a few wrong and me included. UTC

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 2:48 pm

Has any player in the last decade bought into the Burnley way more than Barnes? (obviously excluding Jay Rod)

Never scores a dull consolation goal, they're always epic strikes for whatever reason

Legend before this match in my view, but this helps:-)

I loved when he headed in the first how he pushed Kaminski into the net for good measure - very funny!

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:04 pm

Apologies, I've had a few, nerves and everything but I really mean it, he'll forever remain a claret legend. That performance today elevated him to a place that is reserved for players on the all time list. He's been a massive part of such a successful period and he goes and two punches the b@stards in the teeth in his twilight, when I thought he was down for the count. Stupid me. Proper Roy of the Rovers stuff. May he continue to be a rock behind the curtain, an obviously brilliant man to have around in this team of magic.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:08 pm

To be honest Ash needed the goal aganist Crawley just to get the weight off him .
Now when you look at the 2nd goal where he took his time no presure and you know the rest .

bumba · Post by **bumba** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:10 pm

He's one of my all time favourite BFC players but this season he has been shite, when I seen the lineup I preyed he scored and got the send off he deserved.
Well he did so hats off Mr.Barnes leave as an hero u deserve it what a player what a man, WHAT A CLARETS LEGEND

Unreal today but let’s not get carried away, criticism came from no goals in two years

Absolutely love the bloke

Huge hug from Jay at the end

He’d have been gutted not being involved, but he’ll be so pleased for his team mate

That was just from his momentum

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:17 pm

He was great today, and any Claret who bags a brace against Rovers will always live long in the memory.

Today was the day we needed our experienced players to step up and Ash duly obliged.

One of those who truly understands this intense rivalry and that showed in his passion when he scored.

No idea how much we'll see of Ash for the rest of the season, but that's some way to announce your resurgence.

Well done Ash.

Really pleased for him, like any other player needed some game time to get his eye in. Back to his best today.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:33 pm

I am a bit annoyed because I had him to score in the first half and he let the keeper tip it over!

Great stuff Aye Aye.

I knew you would do it! Must look up all those abusive posts!

"The thought of Barnes coming off the bench to score the winner , while a lovely sentiment, is as far fetched a scenario as you could come up with!"
So said Elizabeth on the Do we have Leaders thread!

About as wide of the mark as me picking Man City to beat Brentford in a last man standing competition yesterday.

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:51 pm

He created a new definition of a "hat trick". 1 header, 1 shot, 1 b4sterd goalkeeper all hit the back of the net.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 3:57 pm

Really chuffed for him and it’s clear the players love him. He was back to his old self. Great stuff!

I love far fetched scenarios and today I love Barnes.

A member of the squad with a limited future at the club, not a first choice striker by any means, is given the chance to create a bit of mayhem and duly delivers.
We'll done, that man.

And to the dimwits who have been slating him on this forum -- grow up, learn about football and get knotted.

Question. Has anyone scored a hat trick in this East Lancs Derby?

SouthLondonexile · Post by **SouthLondonexile** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 4:43 pm

AB is my second favourite Burnley player of all time.
I loved his celebration of his first goal by flooring that Amdram Blackburn Keeper. Just football magic, too late to make the 2022 England World Cup squad I suppose?.

Only one person needs to grow up

The games he got slated in, he was crap

Today he was good, doesn't suddenly mean the Games he was crap in, he suddenly became better

It's life, some games are good, others are poor, as you grow up you'll come to realise it more

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 4:52 pm

I feel like I’m quite objective when it comes to rating players, no agendas, using stats - I’ve not rated Barnes much this season but today he was outstanding, everything he was a few years ago. Well done Ashley.

AlargeClaret · Post by **AlargeClaret** » Sun Nov 13, 2022 5:04 pm

Sure he’s been bloody awful this season and way past his best BUT what a great servant and simply superb today . His confidence is back , he’s sharp, fit and totally on it . I saltire you Sir Ashley of Barnes .
