Yeah but Hurst was never going to get to the ball was he.

Never a penalty. Threw himself to the ground knowing there’s no linesman that side and was never getting anywhere near the ball. Hurst seemed to think after the game it’s a no contact sport and if you touch an opponent it’s a foul, he’s clearly simple of thinking

It'll be Millwall hopefully.

Our best hope is the playoffs now, today was the last chance saloon and we blew it.

I'd personally go all out to get a result against Wdnesday, then play the kids in our last 2 matches, wrap evey one of our vital players in cotton wool for them and have Hackney, McGree and Casteldine live in an oxygen tent for the next few weeks to do our best to overcome the regular injury crisis we have every season, ready for the playoffs.

I hope you manage it!

Just thinking! We need to get Mungo back from Leicester as well cos he was stolen from us. Surely a Coventry born lad wants to play in the premier league with his hometown club

Sign Mary and Midge as well. If we can't get any of those 3, I'd go for that lad Monga at Leicester.

 

[Otis]

We’ve had fuck all while having the most touches in the box by a mile.

There is a definite bias towards Ipswich this year.

I think it more likely that they just have a lot of cheats in their team and they are fooling officials with it, rather than a bias towards them

 

[Captain Dart]

The title is getting closer and closer, City only need 2pts from the 3 remaning games now.
Looking forward to Tuesday night so much! Bring on the win and make it a certainty.

 

[chiefdave]

Thought it was a late kick off for some reason. Much less stressful when you miss the entire game!

Same happened to me the day we lost at Sutton! All the pain came in a single moment when hearing the score, rather than being dragged out over a couple of hours

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We don't have to win any, we would still be Champions with Southampton beating Ipswich.

Or drawing

 

[Blake]

Yes it does! We get 89 and pisswich can only get 88

Not if EFL refs decide to reverse the late penalty Stoke got against Ipswich and make them replay the game!

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

We will beat Pompey. They are all but safe, we know we are promoted no matter what so all that stress and worry about fucking it up is gone. Without that hanging over us we will be back to playing how we know we can.

It's been happening all season

 

[Calista]

I realise we're all supposed to post a string of c-words and something about tractors, but I'm sick of defenders getting away with blatantly manhandling forwards. It ruins the game and for me it needs to be stamped out so it's a penalty all day long.

I so much wanted Ipswich to lose, but I'm actually capable of separating the two things in my mind.

 

[clint van damme]

He's got a point;

Yeah, but they had a throw in decision on the half way line go against them in a Caraboa cup tie 2 seasons ago so it levels itself up.

 

[lord_garrincha]

The Pompey run reminds of our 3-match Rovrum, Barnsley & Stoke run that kept us up in 21... lost next game... so follow the trend lads

 

[robbiethemole]

He's got a point;

nothing more than a cheating bunch of cunts, Hirst dive for a pen maybe should be looked at again, re Godden cheating to get a pen. Sky seemed to be all over it again.

Blew it!? Not a chance, robbed? Yes.

Never in a million years was that a pen. Hirst wouldn’t have even got to the ball regardless of your defender obstructing him or not. Went down soft as shit aswell.

Ipswich get every single decision and have done all season, bizarrely their fans think different.

Hopefully this will spur you on for the remaining games.

It's just that it will only be stamped out then and not in every other game.

 

[jim20]

If that was a penalty today for Ipswich, then the one where EMC got rugby tackled in the box definitely was!

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Hellberg needs to call out the cheating in his interview. Players and Ref. Fuck the fine; just take it

Was round at the lads house for granddaughters birthday. As soon as boro went in front for the 2nd time,we all said now just wait for the inevitable penalty.
Kin game stinks.

 

[robbiethemole]

Used to be a contact sport but it's more like fucking basketball now, soft bunch of cunts especially Ipshit

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Well no it was against Ipswich, that’s now how it works!

You want to avoid Southampton..

Is this a football related post or just general advice?

Why on earth did the Boro defender do that?

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

. I actually like Southampton.

 

[Alkhen]

Why on earth did the Boro defender do that?

Yeah it was just a stupid decision, wasn't enough for a pen for me but they must have known the refs have been trigger happy for Ipswich recently. Dumb

 

[Sick Boy]

They’re the only team who are able to dive onto the ball handle it, pick it up, demand a free kick and get given it.

 

[Warwickhunt]

It's such a shame! Spent most of the season in the top 2 and get it taken away by a poor refereeing decisions in the 88th minute. Millwall will do it i think!

I don't entirely disagree, but the frustration is that Ipswich get (or seem to get) a degree more of these decisions than other clubs.

There was minimal contact, not enough to impede the striker, who went to ground anyway. Even if technically the wrong decision had not been made, then it's a very soft 'correct' decision, and one that encourages players to exaggerate minimal contact and go to ground. The ref had actually let a fair few physical challenges go; the decision was not in-keeping with how he'd refereed the rest of the game.

Compared with some of the penalties we were not given, some of those Ipswich in particular do get stick in the craw.

LOL for Leicester's conversion rate

As Haji is in it they clearly don’t look at the views of some of the idiot fan base on here

Here's 2 other ways of looking at it too, in pertinence to the race for 2nd;

Ipswich have been awarded more penalties this season than Millwall, Saints and Boro combined.

Boro have conceded as many penalties this season as Ipswich, Millwall and Saints combined.
