    You got to give Jim some respect at least he has held his hand up and told us he has made a mistake today how many more players messed up just outside the box today

    What isn't helpful is 'fans' abusing players on social networking sites. These are guys we need 110% commitment from for the rest of the season. Hardly morale boosting stuff is it. The idiocy of some of our fans knows no bounds.

    You don't blame Jim for the goal?

    I do.

    And even Jimbo does.

    But it is not a capital offence

    I've watched it back a few times now, I would say Dawson is almost equally at fault. Everyone is saying why didn't Jim just boot it (which he should have), but wasn't it Dawson who passed (sideways, if not backwards) to him? Jim had to slow down to get onto the end of it, why didn't Dawson boot it out in the first place?

    Nowt wrong with that Tweet at all.

    I Jim O'Brien, but I'm still a bit annoyed with him for that rubbish ball. I'll be over it tomorrow. Can't see anything wrong with what he's said there though.

    Recognise it was a mistake and move on. He has apologised for fks sake. And he's right....if anyone out there is feeling that they're hurting more than him then they are truly idiotic. That lad is pure red.

    what if this point dropped today means we go down on goal difference for example... who will still blame Jim next season if he stays with us!

    It really wasn't a bad ball to try...just the execution...however Mr Marriner may well have blown the whistle before Czyka would have had chance to score.

    Not me. That's not the only mistake made this season, it won't be the difference. What about all the points flitcroft cost us through poor decisions?

    Game is done with, move on and focus on what's still to come rather than what's gone and can't be changed.

    He's spot on about Twitter, there really are some proper ming-mong keyboard warriors on there. I don't know why footballers bother with it to be honest.

    They probably aren't. However, if we stop up by a point will they all celebrate the point JOB's display and goal at Ipswich brought us? No, of course not. It's a 46 game season and so many events determine your final position that it's impossible to single out one event as being the decisive factor.

    Don't think Jim's done a thing wrong. He's right in what he says. In my eyes anyone who blames O'Brien ahead of Frimpong is a mong I don't want supporting my club

    No, he refers to the idiots as idiots. If they want to vent there frustration, do it on a public forum like this, don't go out of your way to personally abuse the lad, despite what he may be earning in a week, he's still only human after all

    The picture he has used is actually my comment that I wrote on Facebook and I stand by what I've wrote. Jim's a hard worker but he's not a good player, he se why I wrote that status. Although, that's my opinion and I must stress I'm not the one who sent this picture to Jim.
