Ashley Barnes - Was it a dive?

[Husty]

I watched the whole incident and in looked to me as though he dived, I saw no contact made with his face and then shortly after he went down clutching it, now I was in H Block so obviously was a fair way away, what did some of you sitting a bit nearer think? If it was a dive then I think it's disgusting and hope he gets at the very least a telling off from Gus about it, thats not what I want to see our players doing.

Edwards threw an upper cut but i couldn't see if it connected

Looked like something more than a dive. Player fell onto him knocking him over to start with (accidental). Actually think that as both struggled to get up, Edwards's elbow/leg caught Barnes face. Didn't seem malicious, but there was a fair bit of flailing around on the ground from both of them..

You don't like him, do you?

 

[Mendoza]

it was a miraculous recovery if he did get hit

Watched the whole incident from the moment Barnes was bundled over by their player.

Barnes dived, end of.

There was a reason why the entire Block U family stand went mental. Can you guess why that was?

If you mean the incident in the east goal mouth, from what i saw he went down in a heap with the defender who seemed to then kick out at him...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looked like a clear punch - even from H Block. Amazed the lino missed it.

I thought barnes headbutted their guy

I didnt see it, which was it

 

[andywhing4england]

I didn't think any real contact was made..i thought barnes did more wrong than the other bloke anyway as he was the one that kicked off a bit.

You don't like him, do you?

Not the only one here who 'hates' him then, clearly mixed opinions, as for the question of why U Block went mental, well everyone went mental but most people seemed to be angry the ref didn't stop the game, which if as I suspect it was a dive he was very much right to do, had it been me I'd booked him.

The guy definitely tried to clip his heels as he ran into the box. Then, from my angle it looked like a rugby tackle. Not the best angle to assess the challenge but it was easy to see Barnes being punched as they tangled on the ground.

Don't care. We're eight points clear, Barnes on course for 25 goals.

All the rest is irrelevant.

We went mental because we had a very clear view of both players going down and then their player attacking Barnes' head. I can say with some certainty that our view was *says in a brummie accent* considerably better than yow.

Can Gus go out and shoot dead 3 people then because we are 8 points clear?

That is quite literally the most ridiculous thing ever posted here. And it's up against some pretty stiff competition.

 

[brightonrock]

They tangled on the ground and their bloke definately lashed out, looked like a kick to me (A block, pretty much in line)
