Jim on Northern Irish TV - Ipswich Town News
Boss Jim Magilton will be in punditry action this evening when Northern Ireland take on Bulgaria in a friendly at Windsor Park. Magilton is a regular on BBC 1 NI's football coverage, which is available outside Northern Ireland via Sky channel 973.
The Town manager has spent the day in Belfast and handed over some Town souvenirs at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children this morning.
Magilton has called on supporters to do their part when Watford are at Portman Road on Saturday: "Our fans have been magnificent this year, as always, and I was delighted for them when we ended that away run at Sheffield Wednesday.
"They have played their part in our home form this season and really got behind the team and we need them at full voice on Saturday.
"Watford are a powerful side who I fully expected to be up there contesting promotion but my players are relishing the challenge.
"It will be a big game and if we can get the win then it takes us one step closer to where we want to be.
"The fans can play their part. When we have a big crowd here and they really get behind the players, then this place can be a really difficult ground for opposition to come to."
