What would you do if given 10 minute alone with Wayne Barnes?

Question

Wayne Barnes is the near sighted, dimwitted, underqualified, on the take, piece of filth, referee who made two unforgiveable mistakes in the NZ France match

Answer 1

Probably have a beer with him.  He maybe a nice guy

Answer 2

Ten minutes would not be enough to extract the truth out of the guy. By the way who the h**l is Wayne Barnes, how can the IRB appoint an absolute unknown to what we all knew was probably going to be the most controvercial match of the RWC due to the probable outcome being the host team being knocked out. He has only ref'd 6 internationals his 1st was in Feb 2007 hardly the right credentials and experience. Bit like putting a 16 year old in charge of a ferrari and not expecting an accident. Why were the referees for all of the 1/4 finals only from the Northern hemisphere? Would 2 southern hemisphere sides in the final mean the locals staying away from the remiander of the matches? Could our immaculate game being manipulated for the sake of the sporting revenue? The SA'cans thought that butter wouldn't melt in their former cricket captains mouth!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

not a lot.   referees make mistakes, it's part of the game.

With 70%+ possession there is no excuse for not scoring more points, and you certainly can't put the blame on the referee. he got two bad decisions against you (plus some that went for you that you conveniently missed).  I would suggest the high number of missed tackles had by the ABs had more to do with it - look up the stats.

Besides, many AB's forward passes have been missed throughout history so it goes both ways.

I seem to remember comments from Grahem Henry before about wanting to "move on" when he talked about the Brian O'Driscoll incident on the Lions tour.  I'm sure he would say the same to you now.

I suggest you "move on"

Answer 4

I couldn't stand to be in his company for 10 seconds let alone 10 minutes

Answer 5

Trust a Pom to get sucked into bribery, just to make sure his team of superannuation-drawing pansies don't have to face the MIGHTY ALL BLACKS. What do you expect from boring England though, country full of mummy's boys with roses on their rugby jerseys. That alone deserves resounding LOLs.

Shame on England, no wonder many in the Southern Hemisphere hate you. Same goes for those cheating dirty, BO infested, snail and frog leg eating Frenchies. Can I say Rainbow Warrior?

Answer 6

Send your well wishes to Wayne Barnes

The competent and aptly called referee of our game with the french. http://www.3tg.co.uk/members_w ayneBarnes.htm Please send him your well wishes and congratulate him for his new Rolex. He deserves it.

Send him your well wishes by fax/phone/email

Answer 7

You can`t get 10 minutes alone with him, cos Paddy O`Brien`s always in there s******g him

Answer 8

Too answer Aussie54, sin-binning Luke McAllister. The question should be, what would you do to Wayne Barnes 10 minutes in a Muay Thai Boxing ring.  I would touch gloves and then commence beating the c**p out of him for 10 mintues, or, until the umpire calls the fight. Oliver you did not answer the question, so you must be spamming.  Answer the question bro, there are forums for your opinion, this is question and answer, pretty straight forward really. Aussie54 I was just answering your question, IMO it was the offside the ref never blew up the French for their constant offside, and hands in the ruck, oh and rucking off the ball, does that answer you question?

Answer 9

Two mistakes? Ok, the forward pass was one, but what's the other???

Julian, sorry but I thought the ref got that one right....McAllister deserved the yellow card for that

Answer 10

I'd buy the lad a pint and say, dont worry mate, if it wasnt the forward pass it would be the sth african food...  Kiwis had 10 mins under the post of france to drop a goal and get over it, did no-one have the mentals at that stage?  Praise to the french as they showed that a little luck can go a long way.

Answer 11

i cant believe IRB appoint  an english referee when they know the winner of that game will play england. and by his performance you dont have to ask wayne barnes who he wanted his beloved england to face in simifinal.

Answer 12

I agree with the "who the h**l is wayne barnes". How many games over the years could have been won if the ref didnt pull up a forward pass, an absolute **** load, but they were pulled up and it changes the complete complexion of the game. It wasnt even close to being a line ball, it was about 1.5 metres ahead, that is too big a margain for 3 refs to miss, something else is going on. Lukes sinbining was a disgrace, even a penalty would have been ridiculous. If luke wasnt built like a **** brick house, that french guy wouldnt have been able to pull off that kind of hollywood. Constant hands in the ruck, 5 metres from the line, offside on a consistant basis, only 1 kickable penalty in the entire game for the all blacks, please give me a break, what bookie did barnes place his money with. We played bad though and should have disposed of france, coz they were awful but clever. It leaves a bitter taste, losing fair and square with no controversy is still hard but doable, this will be around forever. 10 minutes with barnes I would simply hook him up to a lie detector!!!! AB;s were c**p but did enough to win minus any unforgivable disgraceful, game changing decisions. They are the facts and theres nothing else to it!!!!!!!!!
