    Again, you’re using that word ‘players’. I don’t know how much of a punch it was, but it isn’t the first time someone took a swing at O’Nien and I’m sure it won’t be the last either.

    It was more of an aggressive stroke but it was also a straight red and you were lucky to get away with it. Whatever, you're clearly a bellend and there's no point engaging. Good luck for the season.

    A player from every team we play could take a swing at O'Nien, I really couldn't give a ****e.
    You still lost, and no amount of bleating will change that.

    Er - you had a new squad at the start of the season. So did we. You then go on about your abysmal start - obviously your management team wasn't as good as organising the new squad as ours was. That's why we're ahead of you in the league.

    As for the "daylight robbery". You've followed our thread. You know we know we didn't play well. But, like, if you don't score any goals you won't win games. You didn't score. You didn't win. Easy to understand.

    But But But.....the form table suggests they are "marginally better".
    I'm sure the Suffolk Carrott &Tractor News can keep replaying the game on their super computer until they win......it worked for the Chronic.

    firstly, well done to your fans that made the trip.

    secondly, you were heard on my stream but so were our fans i would call it an 'okay' atmosphere that both sets contributed towards although towards the end of that first half when things began to heat up our support went up a couple of notches as well.

    as has been said (and as we have found to our cost many a time) keep ball, fouls and corners won mean sweet feck all at the end of the day, only goals and we got more than you so we won...we will play better and lose (again) and we may even play worse and win, it happens, it is football.

    Would you like a bag of crisps with your bitter?

    there were 29000 home fans. When was the last time Portman road had that many? We’re truly awful obviously!

    And the award for “worst loser to come on our board” goes to….. This clown

    So if you’d had a man on the post you’d have beaten us? Despite the fact that you didn’t score in the entire game and we scored twice? Your logic astounds me

    So are you happy with that brand of football? We endured years of crap football under McCarthy and then Lambert and the reason there’s a buzz around Portman Road is the progression. We are well short of where we need to be and were way off our best yesterday but we are generally playing good football and until a couple of weeks ago scored goals for fun. We’ve got no depth whatsoever in attack but we can continue to build and add to our options in January.

    Yes you’ll battle to some wins playing that way, but can’t see you getting out of the division if that was more than just an off day. More than that, Sunderland were always a side that did their talking with the ball. So for me it doesn’t seem like Johnson is the right man for you.

    Hey if it was a decent game and we lose, fair play. But it was an absolute **** show.

    and no Einstein, if we’d had a man on the post it’s probably 0-0. The penalty happened because by then everyone’s clocked off. Not to say the whole game wouldn’t have gone differently if the ref hadn’t bottled decisions all over the park. But that’s one of the consequences of being down at this level.

    Obviously it ould appear that your manager didn't choose the required 11 out of your 1,465 new signings to beat us.

    Thought we were incredibly poor. Some what of a robbery to be honest. That done nothing to instil confidence for me.

    That said. I'll happily take the 3 points.

    A combination of hesitancy from our lot and the subs. Ours were completely ineffective and you started to come at us. But the game would have been won by then if we’d got the ball in the box more instead of playing backwards.

    It was tense game and it showed, especially for us.

    There looked nothing wrong with the team spirit at the end which was encouraging.

    I think we'll look better in the highlights tbh, we got behind them quite often and Stewart, tbh, missed a sitter.

    Yep a steal, no doubt.

    Just watched a replay of the penalty. The ref was massively in their favour for all of the game. Then he gives a penalty for handball... yes I think it hit his arm/hand, but not really deliberate, ball to hand from short range, nor was his arm/hand floating about, the player had turned his back..very generous to us for an official very much against us for the rest of the game.

    If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.

    If we played better and as we have previously played this season you would have been more convincingly beaten. If we had done that more over the last 5 or 6 weeks we would be clear at the top with games in hand.
    It’s a piece of piss this!

    But you didn't get the ball in the. box enough, you did play backwards. You didn't score, we did, we won. Fact.
