I remember. It was the reason I registered on here to post how hard done by you were. It makes it even more surprising that some of your fans now see it as something missing from the championship.

You won’t be saying the same this time next year. VAR is the worst thing to happen to watching a game live in the 50 years I’ve been going to football matches.

The unofficial time outs seem to have stopped. You’re right though it used to happen regular as clockwork - Chaplin 9 times out of 10, midway through the first half. Not seen it since we were promoted. In fact the shithousery generally (there were and are many, many worse than us) has...

No argument from me that we got lucky with that decision. Not sure it would have been game over but it’s very unlikely that we’d have got more than a point. I can’t even remember Hirst’s first booking. The ref was very keen to dish out yellow cards for minor infringements which made it...

The EFL disagree with you . Blackburn are going to be in the same position again now thanks to their pitch - exactly the same thing happened today with them a goal up and half an hour to play. As for the Oxford forum. No I didn’t, I said that in my first paragraph. My previous posts on this...

Very possibly. Matusiwa - our most important player. Would have felt wrong having him suspended today as Greaves got a suspension after being sent off in the abandoned game against Blackburn earlier in the season.We were rotten against Blackburn on Tuesday, definitely a point gained.

Of course it can, I get that. I also know that when we were at the top of the division two seasons ago and supporters of other clubs were saying we’d go up I took it with a pinch of salt. Given what you’ve been through in the past 20 years I completely get why you don’t want to allow yourselves...

The league is too mediocre for two teams to overtake you as long as you maintain any sort of form. I’m assuming you’ve named your next two games. Even if you lose them both (you won’t), you’d be 6 points clear of third with the best GD in the league. I’d love to think you could be caught but the...

I love it, I can’t imagine anywhere else as home. The Cobbold Stand is great to look at but horrible to sit in. whatever they do they need to keep the “Ipswich Town Football club” that runs across the top of the stand in the same font it’s in now. It’s been there, unchanged since my first game...

The away fans stuck in the corner next to a stand full of old men and kids isn’t ideal for creating an atmosphere. The Cobbold stand you would have been in today is 55 years old, it’s has it. Tired, outdated, awful facilities, lots of restricted views, minimal leg room etc. there’s a lot of talk...

In my view that’s why you won’t need much better than mid-table form to go up. There aren’t many good teams in the league and those with potential are too far behind. If we go on a great run we’ll take points off of the teams chasing you. The teams below you will take points off each other and...

Context. We could have filled your ground that night in the league as a win meant we were 1 point from promotion. This will sound a bit salty but your support when you beat us at PR just before Covid seemed much more lively than it was today. Decent enough today but not as vocal as I was...

We’re playing stoke on Wednesday. Another big game for us and a chance to really make a push for the top two.

I’ve said on another post, some of it is the acoustics. You can’t hear the away fans from the north stand and visa versa. The atmosphere has been very flat this season -entitled fans, 2 years of success after 20 of nothing to cheer and now too many of our supporters turn up expecting to be...

We’ve just beaten a team who miles clear at the top 3-0 so this will probably make me sound like an idiot and/or arrogant but I don’t think we were that great today. We have rarely played to anything like the level that a team that’s cost as much as ours did should be. We took advantage of the...

I’m sure there will be just as there will be one in a Norwich to Ipswich. 40 miles apart a bit of a strange rivalry in some ways. I couldn’t care less about them unless we’re playing them. Different if your rivals are really local in my opinion.

I’m not from Ipswich so will happily tell you it’s a pretty average town, I’ll also admit that football aside Norwich is a really nice city. I just thought this cocky kid, egged on by his dad had it coming to him!

I’d have had no complaints if he’d sent Hirst off and when I watch it back i might have a different view but the Walton one didn’t strike me as being close to a red at the time.

Cheer up, you’re going up. You’ve missed my point about you coming to play football and besides it was meant as a compliment xxx
