Thread | Celebrate
at 16:23 14 Apr 2024
This is inspired by a conversation with 3 generations of blues on a train to Lowestoft on Saturday. I hope they got their flag back.
The time is coming close. We know it is going to happen.The last game against Hudders. But have the club learnt from the fiasco that was the end of the last game last year. I doubt it.
They have tried to reduce the problem by getting many of those who they perceive will run on the pitch by moving them upstairs to Block A of the Cobbold. However, there will still be many who want to run on at the end of the season and celebrate.
The powers that be should recognise the pleasure for supporters being out there where their heroes have been a few minutes earlier. In past years I have done it and it is a wonderful, joyful experience and a whole different perspective of the ground.
Supporters on the pitch at the end of such a season is a positive thing. But they say the safety of the players must be paramount ! I agree, so why did they handle it so appallingly badly last year ?
Mostly arrogance I expect. "This is my club, I have bought it and you supporters will do what you are told. And I am telling you not to run on the pitch".
Mmmm. That went well did n't it.
What they need to do is plan for a peaceful pitch invasion. Set sensible rules. We're Ipswich, we will comply.
I suggest
Tell the supporters that at the end of the game they must allow the players to get off the pitch.
When the Ref blows his whistle they have 10 minutes to run on, dance and enjoy the moment. "Come on you Blues".
At the next blowing of the whistle they must all return to the stands.
So that the players, their wives and kids can come on and take on a very well deserved lap of honour.
After all, who in Blue does not want to see that after the season we have had.
But no, they won't learn.
They have n't learnt about the Norwich tickets.
It will be a fiasco again.
Prove me wrong. |

Trawling the various football forums shows distinct differences
Leicester
https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forum/1-leicester-city-forum/
Foxes are bed wetting because they have lost a massive lead. And they have done much the same for the last 3 years. However, although many still think we are lucky, a significant number also appreciate how well we are playing and are very jealous.
Leeds
https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=1
These are wholly Leeds, others discuss other teams sensibly, Leeds dont. On the odd, very odd occasion they will admit that the Blues are doing well. But they do that with the frequency of a Yorkshireman admitting that there might be some southern beer that is ok.
Southampton
https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/5-the-saints/
Saints are a pragmatic lot. Not given to high excitement. One thread argued that if they won all their matches they would finish 4th and if they lost all their matches they would finish 4th. Most have given up on anything else.
Budgies
The Pinkun forum is probably very familiar to many. They are strangely obsessed with us and are totally convinced they are going to beat us in the playoff semis.

Since Cameron's goal on Saturday we now have 19 different players who have scored a goal for us this year. We might have not got the top scorers, but the strength in depth is amazing. Perhaps we should call Hladky a slacker on that side. :) |

Thread | Leicester Forum Tuesday evening
at 17:27 8 Mar 2024
Thanks to DinDjarin for the tip.
Here I have selected a few comments off the Leicester forum from Tuesday evening.
Wollow and enjoy ....... These things dont come around very often.
Ipswich deploy peculiar tactics of shooting when in good positions. Can’t see it catching on
Fair play to Ipswich, they never give up the fight.
I think we just need to calm down a bit. Ipswich are on a great run that absolutely will not continue (as in they won’t win every game) they have a tricky bunch of matches coming up.
I’ve had the game on in the background tonight and Bristol City really should’ve had it dead and buried, Ipswich are loose and vulnerable.
This hasn’t been lucky. They’ve battered Bristol City for the last 15 minutes
Fair play to them. 3-2 up in injury time and going all out for a 4th
I want that feeling Ipswich supporters must have for their team.... pride
At home. Not played that well. Siege on the goal, chuck that kitchen sink. I wish we had one or two players with the guts of Ipswich.3-2 up and driving forwards looking for another are you allowed to do that ?
Ipswich are annoyingly relentless.
I'm so ****ing jealous of Ipswich fans. Every bastard week is a glorious last minute equaliser or winner. They play exciting attacking football and never give up.Look fitter than us.
It’s more that they actually give a crap.
Whatever a game throws at Ipswich they always have an answer.
If that was us going 2-1 down in the 77th minute there's no way we'd win the game.Ipswich are great.
They've only lost 4 games. It's pretty impressive, everyone has bad periods. But they were a league 1 side against 3 teams with huge resources. Fair play.
One major difference is. Leicester crowd are full of people who think that we have a divine right to win every game so there is literally zero support. Ipswich fans can't believe they are near top and fighting for promotion to premier league so the crowd are fully behind them.
Ipswich have been building this team for years,they have a squad tailor made for how they play, high energy, attacking football
Fair play to Ipswich - they chuck the sink at stuff and are proper decent going forward - we are currently top but easily the 3rd best team in this league at best on current form
Mentality between us and them is chalk and cheese, hence why we have a squad that Peter Taylor could win the league with attempting to throw it away and they have a squad that could have been in a relegation battle that will go up.
What they’re achieving this year is nothing short of remarkable…
That’s not luck. It’s desire and aggression. Everything we’re lacking at the moment. It’s not luck if they keep doing it. Took points off us in both games doing the same. Done to others too.
If they go up as champions they’d deserve it. Lost fewer than anyone else.
They play quick possession football but happy to mix up styles and formations. What McKenna is doing on a shoestring with largely a League 1 squad is far more impressive that Enzo with the riches he has enjoyed in comparison
.
There is no way on earth Ipswich don't finish above us, no way. Different class in all honesty.
Look fitter than us.
Massive contrast between us and Ipswich.
They’re all out attacking, crowd all on board with. We’re passing round in circles and the crowd are bored stiff.
Switched it on after our game and Ipswich were 2-1 down and just about to take a free kick, I watched about 7 mins and in that time Ipswich scored twice and missed a penalty.You have to hand it to them, they seem to do this every other week.

**** off Ipswich for the love of ****.
They're brilliant to watch tbf.. just hate it as a leicester fan.
I’m simply not having that Ipswich aren’t lucky. It’s ****ing unreal
Something aint right with them at the end of a game beyond anything ever with luck
Thing that worries me most is we don’t have results like this one in us. Teams around seem to be able to pull these out the bag consistently.
That’s not luck. It’s desire and aggression. Everything we’re lacking at the moment.
Fair ****ing play to them.
They will comfortably stay up in the Prem next season.
can honestly say I've never seen a team with the amount of luck that Ipswich seem to have had this season
Ipswich aren't going away - they are like the classic Leicester. They just don't quit. I thought they'd blow up, but I reckon they are nailed on for automatic promotion.
You just know they'll do it but they are so exciting to watch
Unstoppable force of a team
You know Ipswich are going to score and they do, moments after missing a penalty. Great mentality.
I kind of wish we played like Ipswich. Certainly in terms of attitude. Must be magic watching them at the moment. |

"Look, we've tried the Blue shirts. Changed socks and it has made no difference. I'm going to wear the Orange that you got me for Christmas for this one."
"Ok, me too."
Today
" Dont forget "Orange".
"As if I would!"
McKenna's got nothing to do with it. It's all in the Orange ............. |
