    Morons like him make the game less safe.

    How the tackle on Sexton last week and that tackle are considered the same is baffling.

    Wayne barnes you joke

    Terrible decision..Barnes The Bottler ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,764 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Nuts. BS refereeing.

    Barnes demeanour throughout that check from minute one, was to downplay that and look to excuse it down to yellow.

    bizarre. Always disliked him immensely.

    Wayne Barney’s is a joke .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭slumdogemillionaire


    wayne barnes is an absolute disgrace



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,019 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Any chance of Barnes getting a Head assessment?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,612 ✭✭✭theVersatile


    Jesus Barnes - never like to join in ref bashing but that's the reddest of reds

    Barnes screwing us yet again, some things never change.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,772 ✭✭✭fitz


    Should really be a yellow for the cynical spoiling right on the line too. France totally let off there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,599 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    Well I guess this is Barnes' last international game as a referee.



  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    Barnes should be made to come before the World Rugby board and explain what on Earth he was thinking of there.

    That's a disgraceful decision. I'm one that usually shakes his head at people knit-picking every decision Barnes makes but there is no excuse for that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,424 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Shoulder to lower head/face. Looked like that to me. That’s a red, yes?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,122 ✭✭✭Shehal


    Either brave of naive to go for the scrum there, in this kind of game we really need to take our 3's when they are on the table.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 619 ✭✭✭maximus15


    Even linesman looks mystified with yellow. Deserved try



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,143 ✭✭✭omega man


    Rugby yet again failing to deal with head injuries.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,019 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Deserved that, need to make hay now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,424 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Brilliant . We are really motoring now

    Barnes is kUNT! We will win this despite him dirty Kunt!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,443 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Get over. Still can’t believe he talked that card down to a yellow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,745 ✭✭✭laugh


    People need to be honest about poor of a referee he is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,427 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    I think for once, absolutely zero people watching that would agree even a bit with Barnes.

    Shoulder to head, no dip, straight arm.

    Its a ****ing textbook red card and Wayne Barnes is enabing the endangerment of players at Test level.

    You're a disgrace Barnes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,640 ✭✭✭Xander10


    While wrong, a game against 15 with sin bin wil be a better test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,122 ✭✭✭Shehal




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭Brian017


    The touch judge clearly disagreed with Barnes' decision. He pulled a face when he was giving the yellow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,741 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Should absolutely be called up and questioned for that decision. The TMO was telling him there was no mitigating factors yet Barnes insisted on talking it down despite being told the opposite.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,010 ✭✭✭Soups123


    Barnes should be held to account for this after the game. That’s against everything world rugby is trying to cut out. That was truely horrible

    I called it at the start Barnes is awful with Ireland

    Barnes must made that decision based off him missing it? Trying to save face.
