Jim: We Were Robbed - Ipswich Town News

Boss Jim Magilton fumed at the poor offside decision which robbed Pablo Couñago of a late winner for Town at Burnley. The Spaniard thought he had won the game in the 83rd minute until a linesman raised a flag.

Magilton said: "I think it was a shocking decision. It's a really bad decision which has cost us three points. The linesman didn't give it, then he's waited and waited and gave it, and I think robbed us of three points.

"Pablo was behind the ball by two or three yards and it's a goal."

Despite the lack of a winning goal, the Town manager was pleased with his side's overall display: "I thought we played very well in the first half against a very good side. Again it was a pattern of our season that we played very well without scoring goals.

"We scored two good goals and then another pattern of our season we fell asleep and allowed them back in the game. We knew at half-time with Burnley 2-1 down at home they would come back at us.

"I thought we showed a lot of courage and passed the ball well at times and the very least we deserved is a point."

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill was unhappy with his side's sluggish start: "It was a very eventful game.

"All in all, I think we could have won it and I think their goalkeeper has pulled off a couple of great saves. But we've got to start better.

"The annoying thing is we talk about it and we were conscious about it before the game, but there's a couple of people in the dressing room who are having steep learning curves."
