So do I. Just like I'm going to miss Calderon after we make our next appalling contract decision.
Despite it being the more serious incident, I thought the Ivanovic incident was hilarious. Caught in the back, fair enough, but the scream, the double roll, then the springing up and chasing of Barnes across the pitch was pure comedy. And I really, really rate Ivanovic. For me he's one of the best defensive imports in the last 10 years.

I think he's a great player but an apology to Matic wouldn't go amiss. Very, very poor challenge.

... Wasn't a challenge!

The only apologies should come from those castigating Barnes and from Matic for attacking him. It was an unfortunate occurrence, a freak accident.

Matic was the one who made the challenge!

Matic was trying to block the ball. His studs were never in danger of injuring AB. Even so, if someone does challenge, that doesn't give the other player carte blanche to follow through!

The only one who 'followed through' was Matic and that's why he had to have an early bath. I believe that they had to bin his shorts it was that messy.
Anyway, if anyone does want to apologise for their slurs against the innocent man that is Ashley Barnes, then they can send a £100 cheque to - The Burnley and Brighton & Hove Aye Aye Ashley Barnes Foundation.
The Foundation helps professional footballers to stop kicking footballs when another player is within 25 yards of them.

Pah, this is how to do a proper foul/retaliation...

The FA will be failing in their duty if they do not give Barnes a retrospective ban.

You think the FA should ban a player for passing the ball?

No for dangerously tackling him in the middle of his leg. Matic was only sent off for his retaliation when it was natural aftet a career threatening lunge at him. That is how I saw it coupled with the MOTD crew.

I suggest you watch the full video of theincident earlier in this thread.
Or the image posted earleir which shows Barnes passing hte ball and Matics leg 2 ft away as Barnes makes contact with the ball and then tell me who was late or reckless.
