What a game he had tonight?

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:03 pm

What a swansong for him

He's the one I'll miss the most

True character.

If he's leaving couldn't possibly have done so on a better note. A true Claret.

Special player for us.

You'll always be a claret.

A true cult hero.

It’s not just what he’s done as a player this season - he’s been a proper leader of men.

He looks properly emotional.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:06 pm

The commitment he’s shown despite obviously believing he’s leaving sums up the bloke

A legend with claret running through his veins

So pleased for Ash
If he is leaving us and I think it is probably right but Ash is leaving on a high having bounced back from poor performances to some magnificent play this season
A great servant for us

Do you remember when we signed him and Granada Reports kept showing the
fantastic 30 yard stunner, can't remember who he scored against.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:34 pm

I reckon there will be a fairly sizeable lump in my throat at the end of the Cardiff game when he gets his send off. One of the very best in my lifetime for what he has given us.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:36 pm

Let's hope he gets a few more at Deadwood.
Be a great way to sign off to rub it in against that lot.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:37 pm

It’s very, very rare we actually get to give a player a proposer send off….I can only imagine the Cardiff game will be special

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:40 pm

Sign him on. Still much to contribute.

How will everyone get to training?

I think it’s time for a statue of Barnes in the centre of the junction where Harry Potts way meets Tod Rd

He’s been fantastic since the Blackburn game, like a new player. What a signing he has been! Aye aye Ashley!

Couldnt agree more. Shows up other “professionals” for the charlatans they are.

Absolute monster of a player. Always gave what he had to the cause, proper Burnley legend. I’ll be honest, I thought he was a spent force, but credit to VK, and massive credit to Ash that he’s made himself undroppable by working hard on his game and adapting so well to what we do now.

Wish him nothing but the best wherever he ends up. What a career he’s had with us. He owes us absolutely nothing.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:45 pm

Best 500k ever spent. Thanks for all the good memories Ashley

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:46 pm

Three promotions with Burnley. Not many can say that.

Top man.

Jellybean · Post by **Jellybean** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:49 pm

I'm still hopeful he'll be given a contract as he's clearly so important and well thought of behind the scenes by the squad, but it's looking very unlikely. Put a bit of a dampener on the celebrations for me but I guess the manager knows best.

I engulfed a full 12 inch pizza with tears running down my face on his interview at the end,I never even realised I had eaten a slice I was gone.haha

To have the emotional intelligence to leave on such a high this season, it does not get any better, cements his legend status and will be forever loved. Just one more task to score the winner at rovers, then build the statue

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:55 pm

Ash Westwood is his good mate isn’t he - makes you wonder…?

Ash to go and conquer the States? They’d love him over there. Once he’s got his citizenship he’ll probably become Governer of a state.

KlyBfc · Post by **KlyBfc** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:57 pm

When he was linked with Chelsea I said I’d drive him there myself. Since then I’ve praised him but more often than not dug him out. However this year since Blackburn he’s been immense and tonight he was exactly what we needed. Whilst I’ve often been frustrated by him I can hand on heart say he’s a clarets legend and deserves very bit of praise he’s been given….

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:57 pm

For all my doubts at the start of the season he's had an excellent swan song to end on.
Get a couple more at Ewood, Ash, make it perfect.

JLR81 · Post by **JLR81** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 11:00 pm

Standing ovation on the last game of the season, as he rides off into the sunset a legend of the town.

Bowclaret · Post by **Bowclaret** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 11:02 pm

That special comment reserved for the VERY VERY best “You will always be a Claret”

Thank you Ash - Legend

turfytopper · Post by **turfytopper** » Fri Apr 07, 2023 11:07 pm

Rovers aside...it was Bournemouth away where we saw the new tactical Barnes. He was brilliant that day and he's been brilliant since a revelation . He links play so well and his support for team mates superb.
Take a bow Ashley Barnes.

Good advert Ash, hope you get some decent offers

Will always be a hero at Burnley

His journey isn't over yet, he'll want to inflict more pain on the fiddlers and get a Championship winners gong ....cult hero definitely though, love him to bits

Any other players done 3 promotions?? Dobson 2 or 3 maybe ? Pender Davis farell (2) ? Doubt many have from the second tier

Cemented 'Burnley legend 'status for me with that performance against Blackburn on Remembrance Sunday.

Was a renaissance performance from Ash that day and he's looked a different and better player since (credit also due to the coaching staff for that)

I wish him nothing but the best for his future wether it's as a squad player for us next season or elsewhere.
