Ash said he was delighted his brace at the weekend got Burnley through to the next round of the cup

Ashley Barnes isn't nearly good enough for us.

Good post.
The people who want this thread deleted or locked, perceive the jokers or AB admirers posting to be consumed by rage about the OP (even when the Albion have just won brilliantly).
Far from it ... just another light hearted NSC thread that can be dipped into at any time.

I used to moan about Ashley Barnes at Withdean. Still wouldn't have him in the side now. But have you Ashley Lovers heard the new song? I missed it on here.

You’ll find it’s almost exclusively the haters who don’t like having to see this thread bounced, you know, the ones who agreed with the OP back when the thread was started.
Keep scoring Ashley, we’ll keep bouncing.
I loved AB at Withdean. This very young player who from the get-go got stuck in with countless vital goals and assists.
It was Chris Wood who frustrated me, a lumbering, lazy player, with seemingly had no energy, despite being at a great age for an athlete.

Barnes to some of you is like a girlfriend who can’t get over even though she’s shagging someone else.

We all admire Ash,struggling with his limitations as he does,having a career as a top striker,but for the main part just love irritating the haters.

I think it's more reminding ourselves that some fans are rather stupid.

Considering Murray has scored more than him in the last two seasons I don’t really get the love in. If it amuses some people then fair enough.

Or is it an insecurity of needing reminding of an occasion where getting it right.
Having had a look through the opening pages I rather admire Mr Burns's sticking to his guns. I mean he was completely over the top but he kept at the crease.

We were still in League 1 when the thread was started January 2011. Mr Burns posted that Barnes wasn't good enough for League 1.
That's why the rest of us laugh at his abysmal knowledge of what makes a good player. Some of us could see the potential even then.

As somebody posted somewhere, imagine how quicker our carry on up the leagues would have been if we'd kept the Murray-Barnes partnership intact.

Was just starting to write the same answer.
The OP stands out as a monumental piece of misjudgment and following posts instead of being admirable, show a kind of blinkered, trammeled thought process.
Oh blimey, I'd forgotten that
Yes, I was one of them. He's just one fool though. Plenty of others claimed he wasn't good enough when we were in the Championship, so I criticise the whole lot of them.

Nah. It’s simple funny winding up the haters who made a glaring blunder in assessing an Albion player.
Indeed. And I'd leave them be if it weren't for the fact that they continue to write off our players, despite their obvious lack of knowledge when it comes to football.
