Thread | Our 3 league games AFTER (International) breaks this season...
at 19:12 18 Apr 2024
There's been three of these so far:
On the first occasion, we followed the break with 2 away WINS & a home WIN
(9 points out of 9)
On the second occasion, there was an away WIN, a home WIN & an away DRAW
(7 points out of 9)
& on the 3rd occasion, there was an away LOSS & 2 home WINS
(6 points out of 9)
So, following every (international) break, we WON all our home games
(12 points out of 12)
& WON 3 & DREW 1 of 5 away
(10 points out of 15)
(22 points from 27 = 81.48%
& 81.48% of the remaining max 9 points available is more than 7 points, suggesting at least 2 WINS & a DRAW)
On the one of those three occasions where the sequence of 3 games, matches exactly what we have remaining...
(2 away, followed by 1 at home)
...we WON ALL 3

at 22:02 9 Apr 2024
Leicester & Leeds both dropped points tonight
A win tomorrow v Watford & we're TOP with 4 left to play
(ok, I know Leicester have a game in hand, even if they win that, we're still in an auto)
IT'S ON - IT'S IN OUR HANDS

Thread | Wembley winning goal v Norwich
at 16:33 9 Apr 2024
Just went down a rabbit hole & discovered Ralph Coates scored the only goal for Tottenham v Nodge in a league cup final of the early '70's
It triggered a memory, so I googled more & it turns out he worked at GEC/Marconi in Borehamwood & it's sports/social club
That was my first job when I left school & I've also played footy at the sports & social club!
If I'd have known, I'd have sought him out & shook his hand for nothing other than scoring a Wembley winner v that lot!
Just thought I'd share - COYB's! |

Thread | Song for tomorrow?
at 12:45 15 Mar 2024
Already an England footy anthem, how about singing this (assuming we're winning) at, let's say, as the big screen/scoreboard clock turns to 81 minutes?
Either re-visit this, or copy/paste to your phone/note, or tap the link so you can use it like a lyric sheet (link is to US music humour site Amiright who publish song parody lyrics)
It's a rare treat for me to get to Portman Road, I usually manage 1 game per season, for me, it's tomorrow - COYB's!!!!

We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
Everyone seems to know the score
A sleeping giant snores
When it rains
Well, it pours
We follow Ipswich home & away
Portman Road & away
Now we're starting to play
Like I remember
Three stars on our shirt
Bob & Alf between 'em
Sleepy giant stirs
Dare to wake from dreaming
Too many games, weeks, months & years
& far too few "so nears"
When you're down
Through the tiers
These echoes make my heart miss the Beat
& when Mariner scored
How hard Ted hit the ball
& Warky acting!
Three stars on our shirt
Bob & Alf between 'em
Sleepy giant stirs
Dare to wake from dreaming
I know that was then
But could it be again?
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up
We're goin' up
A sleeping
Giant's waking up
We're goin' up...
Three stars on our shirt
Bob & Alf between 'em
Sleepy giant stirs
Dare to wake from dreaming
Three stars on our shirt
Bob & Alf between 'em
Sleepy giant stirs
Dare to wake from dreaming
Three stars on our shirt
Bob & Alf between 'em
Sleepy giant stirs
Dare to wake from dreaming
Three stars on our shirt...

Thread | Who gets Wark & Burley confused? (BBC)
at 12:00 28 Jan 2024
You wouldn't have seen Motty make that mistake!
Having just played clips of the '78 Cup final, of Wark hitting the post twice & Burley forcing a great save from Jennings, with those two legends stood next to each other, BBC's pitch side presenter, to George Burley, said "John, how did you feel hitting the post?"
Warky had to point himself out, whilst the presenter seemed blissfully unaware!
Dear BBC, please employ a presenter with the ability to demonstrate the appropriate respect for history |

Thread | Old Farm Derby
at 21:55 15 Dec 2023
I was at the last one we won & still have the vid of Gio scoring his pen on my phone!
Sadly, I have to wait for general sale, so couldn't get a ticket (nor the day off work anyway), but as I'm holding 'B' next to bloke holding 'Y' where it says 'THANKS BOBBY' on the SBR stand, I now feel like I'm always there in spirit!
So at this time of year, I emplore all concerned parties, players & supporters to give of your best once again, for eachother, for Ipswich Town, for Sir Bobby, Sir Alf, England & St George

Thread | Big screen in fanzone
at 09:22 1 Dec 2023
Why doesn't the club get the big screen on in the fanzone for games that are obviously selling out?
I can't get the day off work anyway but I'm gutted even if I'd had the day off, I wouldn't have had a chance
Affordability is my problem, I usually manage 1 game per season at PR (live/work Cov), so not being a ST holder, I have to wait til tx go on gen sale
Pls ITFC give me a chance!!!
