Could he get a suspension?

He deserves a ******* medal for what he said & did

What exactly did he say?

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:14 pm

Guilty as charged. I'll start a gofundme page if they fine him.

Is fair comment a defence in this case?

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:18 pm

I blame the BBC for this

It wasn’t a live interview. If they’d have done their job and edited the clip properly nobody would every have know what he said

Could we get our resident defence attorney on here to represent him

Nah he would probably finish up getting him sent down for 5 years

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:25 pm

Hasn't apologised for this slip of the tongue already ...

Am sure he is on record as saying "I apologise for calling Blackburn Rovers 'B'stards' ... I actually meant to say 'Horse Fiddlers' instead so sorry for any offence caused".

Horse B*****ers is what he meant Bosscat

Wonder if the FA will retrospectively charge the fans for calling their team Sh!t!!! Barnes will get fined.

Hmmm….looking at the wording of the Rule, it would be difficult to argue against the”abusive and/or insulting” allegation.

I'm surprised he's not on a double charge after assaulting the Blackburn goalkeeper following the first goal

Likewise Kaminski for blatant cheating in the 1st half.

Well done barnesy. Legendary status after that interview.

Bang to rights? Absolutely.

Was he correct? Absolutely.

I’d happily contribute to go fund me to help pay his fine, despite his obvious wealth.

He's certainly saved a bob or two on Fuel, over the last few months ....

Still 100% worth it, whatever the punishment

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 6:53 pm

If he gets fined, he should do a whip round of Burnley fans as it was absolutely fantastic. Well worth whatever is coming.

I can't see it being more than a slapped wrist. It presumably wasn't deliberate, just a slip of the tongue.

Always good to beat/score against the B'tards.

Never batted an eyelid. Obviously understands that is their local name, rather than tge one printed on pirate maps.

Oshkoshclaret · Post by **Oshkoshclaret** » Wed Nov 30, 2022 8:02 pm

He should use the Wayne Hennessey nazi salute defence and just plead ignorance… “I didn’t know their real name was Blackburn”

I've seen the goals so I saw the assault in question. Didn't watch the game but got a few match reports so know that we struggled a bit first half and was lucky to stay in it but in the second half we battered them (quite literally in the case of Barnes)

I almost believed you there, good effort.
"Struggled a bit first."

Yeah,this is all soo funny.
Do none of you realize the serious consequences that might happen to the club?

What if the FA have the referee yellow card our captain at kick off against QPR?

Not so funny then eh???

Mad_tony_c · Post by **Mad_tony_c** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 3:49 am

Looks like a one match ban if he admits it or a two match ban if he denies it and fights it. Plus a fine of £2k or £3k

He’s surely bang to rights so looks like he’s missing the next game I’d imagine

Grrrr

turbo5 · Post by **turbo5** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:29 am

Obviously he doesn't need someone to pay his fine, but it would back fire on the FA and get good coverage if the Burnley fans set up a just giving page and paid the fine for him.it would attract news coverage and good press for Burnley and our love for the no dads

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:40 am

Maybe he could apologise, heat of the moment stuff, and make a donation to HAPPA for any horses bothered by his words.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Dec 01, 2022 10:31 am

We should definitely pay the legends fine.

Given it’s more than two weeks after the match it’s clear some mard-arse has reported him. Wonder who they support?

Give him double, then he's sorted for the return match.

surely someone can prove that at least one of the Rovers players is illegitimate, to make his statement technically correct and also therefore no longer wrong or offensive. Case closed

Its a long way away but If I was Kompany I would be looking at leaving Barnes out of the squad for the return fixture as a gesture from the club to apologise for the disrespect Barnes showed.

I personally think respect is a big thing that is missing in modern day football and even in the modern world full stop and Kompany has a chance here to show that Burnley do things the right way

Exactly what I’ve said

It wasn’t a live interview, there was no need for it to have been put out on their social media channels like that and that should be Barnes defence
