    The speed in which all the threads against Jim are appearing, you'd think he's the only one who ruined it for us.

    Now you're asking for restraint?

    I'm not blaming Jim O'Brien. I'm blaming the two absolute fcukin r-tards that lost their heads and got sent off.

    I'm blaming O'Brian for being unproffesional in the dying seconds. Dawson not good enough get rid. Mellis and frimpong should be disciplined by club.

    I think Frimpong and Mellis have already had their share of the stick and it isn't going to stop for them anytime soon, but when it's pretty obvious that time is up, you have the ball at your feet at the edge of your area, nearly all their players are camped in and around our area, we're a man lighter than them and have been most of the game so our players are dead on their feet, and all it takes is one big hoof and we escape with a point, trying something clever is not the best option. I could see what he was trying to do, as two of our players were racing down the left flank, but safety first surely. It was an awful attempt at a pass and put us straight back under pressure, being that we were now a few men down in defence because of the ones racing forward.

    Earlier in the game both Jennings and Shea had given the ball away in the same area by trying to dribble on the edge of their box. In fact, Jennings went off straight after that, so it didn't go unnoticed. Hopefully the players will be sat in front of a video of today's match tomorrow morning for a lesson on decision making, because there were a lot of stupid ones made out there today.

    9, 10 or 11 players it was 0-0 with 20 seconds to go!! Only one player passed the ball across his own box!

    Btw I agree Frimpong and Mellis(great up until then IMO) need to take responsibility but to say jimbo is blameless is crazy.

    Okay, then you have to allow a torrent of abuse to flow Jim's and Jacob's way. Anything else would be discrimination, you know that! ;)

    butterfly effect though gordon. you could argue the terrible corner from cywka allowed them to regain possession immediately, and go straight down the other end. when we could have played it short and kept it in their corner.

    i'm laying my blame firmly with frimpong and mellis. would both be getting big fines. complete indiscipline, at crucial points in the game.

    Jim will get stick for his schoolboy error and rightly so; they scored from it but the real villain today is Frimpong. Who knows how things would have turned out had he shown even a shred of discipline.

    Jim will beat himself up enough over that, without our help. And everyone knows that.

    Bang on... thinking correctly under pressure (or T-Cup as Clive Woodward called it).

    I thought Cranie and Ramage were immense today and they didn't deserve to come out with nothing. I know emotions are running high, but all i ask is that O'Brien, Frimpong and Mellis learn from those mistakes.

    Frimpong & Mellis to blame.

    A month playing with the youth team & a hefty fine.

    FFS passionate local derby fighting hard literally in some cases. Anyone would think that Players had never got a bit carried away in a Derby before. I despair of Barnsley fans really. O Brien clearly should have booted it I swore at the time but we all make mistakes. Full blooded game I sort of enjoyed it despite the result.

    We were poor all game. Played the occasion not the game. Made the reds easy decisions for Marriner (who was poor but all 3 were red). Gave possession away in our own third far far too easy including the goal. Simply put, not good enough across the board.
