Ash has turned into teacher's pet, like one of those ex-gangsters in the USA who tour schools preaching the gospel.

Shame he couldn't save himself from a seven match ban.

Barnes almost certainly saved Ulloa from a booking as he was very very excited to have scored that winner and his shirt was half off before Barnes grabbed him.
Barnes has looked a much more mature player in the two games since his long suspension. I for one am delighted to have him here and would expect him to shine should we go up. It would be fantastic if he has now grown up. Not comparing him as a player but Beckham grew up after THAT petulant tackle in the World Cup. Maybe it will be the making of Ashley, he really did get plenty of coverage and completely ott abuse on here after that trip. He had a long time to mull it all over.

Maybe he has been busy improving himself during his ban, rather then gallivanting around the country to go on TV in an evening when he should be studying the opposition

I noticed that as well. Saw him mouth "no no no" to him as he was behind the goal.
Bloody hell. Maturity shown and he someone other than himself sent off! The NEW Ashley Barnes.

Yeah l noticed that too. Well done Ash for sparing Leo from a stupidly earned yellow card. I'm delighted to have him too, he does a sound reliable job for the side, often deep in midfield, or out on the left flank, not his favoured positions, but also up front as a striker scoring a fair number of goals. However, whether he would be able to do perform as well in the Premier League should we be promoted, well l think that's another story ...
Yeah good to see especially as it was also very clear what he was trying to do (stop him getting booked). Very sensible play and hopefully a glimmer of light that the 7-match ban has forced him to mature a bit.
Good show Ashley (and Leo obviously for scoring!!)

Also, if ANY player would be to benefit from Leo being unavailable to play it would have been Barnesy. Well done to him for having his head screwed on in a moment of joy.
Or maybe he was trying to momentarily blind him and make him run into a STANCHION to INJURE HIM.

Technically, ulloa still should have been booked. The two shirt related cautionable offences with celebrations are removing your shirt and covering your face with it. His face was covered for a notable period (that is, more than normal when just removing a shirt... Unless you're balotelli).

I was a bit too excited to pay too much attention but I looked from Ulloa to the ref as he started his run to the away fans as he started to remove his shirt and I thought he looked like he was going for his pocket again. I was then distracted by Leo's almost Maradonna like demonic joy (when he ran to the camera in the WC) in front of us

Don't know if somebody else has mentioned it somewhere but I was watching the highlights on seagull player and when Barnes was on the floor after the red card challege the Brighton player next to him (can't remember who it was) looked like he tried to kick Barnes in the back, he seemed to kick the ground just underneath him. Anybody else notice that?
