A so called "fan" in WSU block B at the Forest game.

When Barnes was subbed did the following:
- stood up
- giving the w@nker sign
- shouted at the top of his voice telling him to f*ck off

When fans around him protested they were also told f*ck off.

Not the best form of encouragement for our only fit senior striker...

I stood up and clapped when he was finally subbed, purely for that reason he was useless and subbed, should of came sooner in the game.

Brave man. Would he be so bold to Ashleys face?

I'm beginning to question this part.

I heard a few people cheering when Barnes was subbed.

Because obviously, he was the only one who had a poor game.

I can understand verbal abuse of a player who clearly isn't putting effort in, or jumping out of tackles etc (Dobbie, Harley) but to abuse a player who is giving it 100% but just isn't quite up to it is BAFFLING. What's the logic? Genuinely, what's the thinking?

Because, as supporters, it's all about them.

But what is it you are abusing that player FOR? Not being good enough at football? That's almost like an "ism", like abusing someone for the colour of their hair, their gender, the fact they wear glasses, etc, etc.

Do you really imagine, that there is some 'thinking' involved?

Obviously not, but I just don't get it. Sure, I'll feel disappointed and annoyed when a player doesn't do the basics, but standing up and screaming "YOU ARE SHIT"? What exactly is that meant to achieve? Do you really think the player was just thinking how brilliant they were at that moment, and you're just reminding them?

I don't think Barnes will be overly worried, you've got to take the rough with the smooth in his position.

He was very poor on saturday and I am generally not an Ash basher, he has a place in our squad for sure.

Refs are catching onto him now tho, everytime on saturday he is heading for the floor before the ball is near him, not even an attempt to hold it up, just wanted a free kick.

Some fans are inadequate people who vent their frustrations on others. He's probably very hen pecked at home.

The second half was very frustrating, especially after they went down to 10. This chap was probably just venting his frustration at Barnes, which whilst largely illogical, is a lot less baffling than the brilliant specimens who boo him when he is coming ON.

The subtle difference being - I'm not paid 5k ish a week to be a (convincing) long haired hippie rock God. The only 'ism here is a organism who can't hit the back of the net. I do agree however, that the person shouting the abuse should be told to pipe down.

I actually think both he and Ulloa (in his one game back before getting injured) have regressed a bit in terms of going down WAY too easily. Looks really poor.

He's not going to ask to be paid LESS is he? Let's live in the real world for a second. As I said - fair enough if that player isn't TRYING, but if they are giving 100%, how can you have a go? It's not THEIR fault if they aren't good enough, is it?

Things are a little tense, I can see. Look I love the Albion and as such I fully support the players we have. My point was simply that you can't really be comparing calling some random stranger a four eyed something or other to abusing a man who is paid by the supporters to score goals for the club. I'm not defending the abuse, but we seem (as a collective) to be very touchy at the moment. Times are tough, yeah, but it aint quite Purple MKIV just yet.
