Not so. I will not have him criticised unfairly. I highlight double standards (of which there are many when people judge Barnes), and sometimes just put forward the other side of the argument so that the discussion can continue. I don't need to highlight his flaws or the bad things he does...

You asked me "to drag out the reasons for Banes continued appearance on the team sheet and I dont mean list the perceived deficiencies in other players" My own mind, or supposed lack thereof, has nothing to do with that. What I think of Barnes doesn't have any affect on Barnes' appearance in...

Because Poyet, with all his experience playing in the world's top leagues and at an international level, picks the team, in line with his own vision of how football should be played and with an idea for what he sees as a brighton identity, is apparently generally happy with Barnes'...

I remember last season Barne's corner being criticised (Dicker took it), he was also criticised for not getting on the end of said corner (Sparrow I think), and then for skewing the shot from the cleared ball (Painter). All criticisms came from the same person.

The problem with the minute a player comes off being a defining point of what is a cameo, is that it doesn't take into consideration injury time, which increases the amount of time a player has to have an effect on the game. After 80mins would mean 10mins or less is a cameo, only once has the...

Cardiff City Barnes played 65 including first half injury time (for Lualua who played 30mins due to second half injury time) 30mins not a cameo Barnsley 87 (for Agdestein - 8mins) game won, giving some experience to youth Sheffield Wednesday 83 (for Lopez - 11min) New signee being eased in to a...

Barnes has been benched 3 times this season. More than Kuszczak, Bruno, Greer, and Bridcutt. CMS missed three games because of injury, otherwise he would have had more starts than Barnes (gus has only chosen not to start him once). El Abd and Bridge are only below him because of injury, Hammond...

Perhaps. But it's not just about Barnes, and not just about one match. You have to factor in what Barnes is capable of, what he has shown on average (and Gus appreciates what he contributes in a normal barnes performance), what the alternative produce in matches, how the alternatives train, etc...

It's like you completely ignored the second paragraph.

Because you are just looking at matches, whereas Poyet is looking at matches and training. LuaLua must not waste chance From The Argus)

Such as the two deflected goals v barnsley, the penalties v watford and leeds, the goal put on a plate by bruno v sheffield wed? 5 goals that were pens or not really made by him. Out of 9 scored (and some of the other four might fall into those categories as I can't really remember them). It's...

Well, we don't. I would struggle to write paragraphs and paragraphs basically all boiling down to 'we don't pay the players'/poyet's wages'

Not really.

Ah, the ol' "I was just joking, too" defence. Well played, sir.

Why answer it as if it's a serious point?

I might be being a little naive here, but I think that post was more of a joke than a denial. One of those "you don't listen!/Sorry, what did you say?" kind of jokes "you always just contradict people/no I don't!".
