4 games he should be out for now. Hopefully a few wins, and he'll get shown the door. Too many times does his lazy tackling cost us, 10 bookings for a bloke who doesnt dive into tackles, shows how slow he is. Just waves a leg at them as soon as hes beat, cost us too many goals this year with bad passing at the back. Hes a shadow of the player last year

Imagine if we pick up a few wins and Martinez slots him back in.

This should be the end of Barry as a regular in the team, about time and all.

It will only be one game ban and he'll go back to being on 9 yellow cards so will be one booking away from 2 match ban again.

Please no.

We will miss him if he's banned more than one game when his experience is needed

That can't be right. It's a cumulative thing, is it not?

I could be wrong but normally when a player gets a red for 2 yellows the sending off nullifies the original yellow card. I hope I'm wrong but that's my understanding of the rules.

He's a joke really. All of his experience and he keeps getting stupid yellow cards. His absence will freshen things up.

I celebrated his first yellow card like a goal, NEA

messymascot · February 11, 2015

If he'd got a straight red card for violent conduct he would be on a 5 match ban. Why couldn't he have chinned someone instead!

even in getting sent off he mocks me further

This was Barry in 2010 this fella should not be playing week in week out at Everton in 2015

Hasn't played well for us since he failed to make the W/C squad, and fast becoming a bad snide.

Really, really hoping McCarthy and Besic perform heroics against Leicester and Arsenal making it harder for Roberto to shoehorn him straight back in.

Having said that, if he performs well in the two europa games sandwiched in between, which by the way I hope he does, but have my doubts, he'l be straight back in the side regardless.

He must have the same relationship with martinez that neville had with moyes

I feel sorry for him. He's knackered and it's blatantly obvious. When he's fit and on it, he gets the ball and one touch passes it instantly because he has a picture of what's going on. When hes not on it he's slow, takes 3-4 touches because he's doubting his instinct. Martinez's general. Every manager has them so they are blinded to see when the general needs to be pulled out of the firing line.

Pretty much sums up the current situation.

He's CONSTANTLY making stupid mistakes and fouling in dangerous areas. For someone of his experience he plays like he's played less matches than Ledson.
