Reply | Anyone else having weird Ipswich Town based dreams?
at 10:47 3 May 2024
Normal dream nonsense for me. All very sketchy and disjointed but the standout bits were as follows:
Huddersfield arrived at Portman Road in an open-top bus to add to the carnival atmosphere of the day.
Breitenreiter had made so many changes that they were almost unrecognisable from the team that had fought so hard to get them relegated before the match.
They were all wearing Huddersfield shirts except Paul Lambert who for some reason was wearing a Bayern Munich kit (not a Dortmund one).
Also playing for Huddersfield were Ruel Fox, Jamie Cureton with green hair, Stephen Fry, Bernhard Matthews, Robert Ullathorne, Bryan Gunn, Fleck, Bellamy and Sutton.
Town fans were singing "Are you budgies in disguise?"
Ullathorne looked like he was going to cry throughout and Gunn spent the whole match stamping down divots in the penalty area.
Town were lined up as expected with the exception of Hladky who had injured his hair in the warm up, and as Walton was in the toilets at kick off and Slicker was on a Geography field trip with his school in the Cairngorms, Delia Smith was called in to play in goal for Town.
Ed Sheeran was the ref but was a model of impartiality and the away fans spent much of the time shouting "You're not singing any more!" to him.
Anyway, Delia played an absolute blinder which included saving a Bernhard Matthews Panenka spot kick.
Delia credited her heroics to her 1978 Ipswich FA Cup rosette she wore throughout the match.
The match officially ended 0:0 although there were several goals (including an Ullathorne own goal) and Delia won Player of the Match sponsored by Greene King. Her Trophy was a can of IPA delivered onto the pitch on the bonnet of a black Jag. The fans chanted "Where are ya!" as she opened the can and downed it in one while Ed Sheehan and Delia winked at each other.
Town asked Huddersfield if they could borrow their bus for the team to do a lap of honour around the pitch but Stephen Fry explained it wasn't possible because the bus was the property of Norwich City Council and that it wasn't insured against the Town fans who had invaded the pitch.
Chris Sutton confessed that the best team had won and (because all the restaurants in town were full) organised that everyone would have a bootiful, slap-up turkey lunch at Ruel Fox's house because it was the cleanest while Ed sang "Shape of You" to Delia as she cooked. |

There's plenty of "lucky" Ipswich too. My favourite is this one describing the perfect scenario for Saturday:
"Leeds win comfortably, Ipswich are 1 down going into stoppage time, which is 15 minutes due to another referee injury. Leeds fans invade the pitch, they think they're up but wait, Jeremy Sarmiento has taken a shot in the 90+14 minute, it's hit a stray squirrel that got onto the pitch and looped over the Huddersfield keeper to send Ipswich up". |

Great post, Rommers. It brought back strong memories of my dad who passed away in July last year. He took me to Portman Road along with my brothers for 8 years during the Robson era. He was lucky enough to enjoy last year and I'm sure he'll be watching from above tonight.
Emotions will be very high tonight when we win.
I miss you, Dad. |

I'm not exactly chilled out but excited and very positive. There's almost nothing else on my mind apart from my next meal.
At the start of the season I predicted a Leicester-Ipswich top two and I'm confident that's how it'll end up when Saturday is done.

I missed the Ipswich match last night, I was watching Leeds doing to Boro what they did at Portman Road. I honestly thought we weren't playing until Saturday. |

No.
Recent history shows that when one of the top three loses, the others fail to take the initiative.
As much as I want Leicester and Leeds to drop points, I see us neck and neck with them to the very end. |

If this sorry event leads to the banning of certain protests or ridiculously heavy fines (or imprisonment) for filming or taking photos of police behaviour (which happened recently in France) it would be another sorry loss of our freedoms. [Post edited 23 Apr 10:17]

The video proves very little actually.
What is does prove is that is that the person doing the subtitles isn't very good.
Mr Falter clearly says "What is wrong with that?" but the subtitles say What is wrong with THEM?"
And whilst the protester makes a throat cutting gesture, there is no audio (or subtitling) of the protester's words.
He could be saying that he'd seen Falter doing the gesture.
Either way, I have my doubts that either the protester or Mr Falter gestured such a thing. The protester doesn't have the facial expression to accompany such a threatening action and it appears the police were watching Mr Falter quite closely. |
