Tunnel Bust Up
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2023 8:43 pm
Did something happen in the tunnel at full time, a fan said they were fighting but couldn’t see anything other than the protective cover shaking a bit.

No, a bit more than that, in fact a lot more......But, as expected Ashley came out on top.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 8:59 pmpretty sure it was just the ball bouncing down the tunnel
Yes, with our current injury list, it would be great for him to pick up some kind of retrospective ban.

This isn't criticism of Barnes by the way, since I've no idea what happened and whether it was avoidable, and nothing may come of it, but for anyone to be praising him for getting involved in something unnecessary with all these games coming up seems a bit odd.
Never thought I'd be saying this but Barnes is turning out to be a v important player for us at this tough point in a long season.
Let's hope it was something and nothing, since he's already been charged once this season.
The whole of the Luton team did today to be fair. Apart from scoring the penalty he was completely ineffective and was probably our worst player on the pitch today

Ash was completetly the innocent party and yet he still came out on top.
Barnes is Burnley through and through, and be grateful for that fact.
He scored the penalty in a 1-0 win..... and was a massive influence on all his teammates.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 9:52 pmThe whole of the Luton team did today to be fair.

I don't need to understand owt thanks. He was poor today but as I said on the match thread once we had the penalty there isn't another player I'd want to take it.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:07 pmHe scored the penalty in a 1-0 win..... and was a massive influence on all his teammates.
You really need to understand that.
There was more than a "bit to it", but trust me Ash was representing Burnley Football Club as he has done throughout his time here........and fair play to him.nil_desperandum wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 9:55 pmI don't think you read my post.
I said that I hoped there was nothing to it, as I hadn't seen it, but we know Barnes has a bit of a reputation and the authorities will find any excuse to punish him.If "he came out on top" then there was clearly something but hopefully your interpretation is correct and will prevail.

That might be your interpretation DA, but not that of all serious minded Burnley fans.
I can assure you 100% that no player is more committed to Burnley Football Club than Ashley Barnes, no matter what his limitations as a player.
I think it was actually a couple of the Luton backroom staff bouncing down the tunnel.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 8:59 pmpretty sure it was just the ball bouncing down the tunnel

Never said he isn't committed and think he's a top bloke and will be brilliant around the squad.
What more do you want than a win ?.....As I emphasised his importance to the contribution of his ALL his teammates cannot be overstated......Can you not see see that ?Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:36 pm

Having him as a regular starter is what concerns me as he stifles the fluidity of our play and it's started to show the last couple of games
Chill out sounds like you've been having a few whiskeys to celebrate the winRoyboyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:40 pmWhat more do you want than a win ?.....As I emphasised his importance to the contribution of ALL his teammates cannot be overstated......Can you not see see that ?
After another three points, a whiskey is more than acceptable.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:46 pm

It's not that difficult to be happy with a win and still have an opinion on the team and players performances without it all being 100% positive. It is a message board after all
Enjoy your nightRoyboyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:54 pmAfter another three points, a whiskey is more than acceptable.
If only you could converse with the other players in our team, you would 100% understand how important Ash is in to be included in the starting eleven. They love him to bits and he would always be the first player on their teamsheet, no matter what the main man VK might select.

Now I'm home (with another whiskey), can't tell how much that three points meant to me.
DA is a wind up merchant Royboy forget trying to have a sensible conversationRoyboyclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 11:07 pmNow I'm home (with another whiskey), can't tell how much that three points meant to me.
DA, please tell me you understand the point I'm desperately trying to drive home about Ashley ?
He is crucial to everything the Club stands for and thanfully, VK accepts that more than anyone.
No, I think Barnes was poor today and it seems people have gone back to thinking him throwing himself about and battling hard is worthy of a good performance.
Where is that?Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 11:50 pmM65/66 roundabout- thinking of starting crowd funding for a statue of Barnes - similar height to the angel of the north
My post was nothing to do with Barnes. 100% about the demise of Leeds. As for Muric I marked him a 10 v PNE a low mark v Watford when he was Ill and a 7 today. Hardly a boo boy. What marks did you give him lolDevils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 11:52 pmNo, I think Barnes was poor today and it seems people have gone back to thinking him throwing himself about and battling hard is worthy of a good performance.
He's had a couple of great games recently but ultimately I think he slows down our play and our football isn't as fluid and as good with him up top instead of Jay.
How's Muric doing? You finally stopped slagging him off every game yet boo boy

FC Burnley.......are you in California ?.....Must be so difficult trying to follow us from so far away ?
What ?!?!Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:20 amYep so far clear it makes you wonder why me thinking one of our players had a poor game causes so much discussion
We've done enough talking for tonight Royboy. I'm tired and your support and passion for Barnes is admirable so enjoy your whiskeys and have a good night mate
