I had the chance to spend the day with a early 20s rabid Bristol City fan through work.
Lovely guy, reminds me of my 20 something self in that despite having an exciting life in Brixton he makes the pilgrimage to Ashton Gate for home games. For example he was missing a party on Friday and taking half a day holiday just to go and see them play FC Twente.
Anyway I revealed my Town fan support, AND THEN IT CAME. This awful negative view of Ipswich as a team and club.
Because you see he doesn't know the Ipswich under Robson, or Burley. Or perhaps even Royle and Magilton. He just know the dirge that is McCarthy.
"Arghhh I hate Ipswich, they play awful stuff and the games are terrible!!", "so boring, long ball", "you had that good season a few seasons back, but it's been poor" "are you the longest serving team in the championship?!"
It just really struck me how low we have sunk, and how so many on here have lowered there standards that they somehow justify the depths we have plummeted.
Yes I know as always I'm being dramatic, and indeed I had been sucked into some of that pre-season blue goggle wearing, but we need to sign 2 BIG players and mick just HAS TO CONSISTENTLY IMPROVE THE STYLE!!!

Funny that as i reckon last season we were the most boring team to watch in the league.
Balls. |
Based on the one game you saw?
Hmmm. Ok. |  |

'Based on'
Watching on The telly,having friends at the games (i know loads of season ticket holders) and listening on the radio,also reading on here.
3000 people in 2 seasons have had enough,and i bet the majority didnt walk over the cost,its St.MM and his playing style they dont like. | |

To be bluntly honest I couldn't give two hoots if other fans view us as that.
Like or hate Mick, he's the most successful manager since Royle. He hasn't had the budget the three previous ' managers ' did yet he scraped a team with Tabb / Skuse and Anderson in the same midfield to a top 6 finish. Loved going to games that season. Season after barring injury to Dids / Bish and Fraser again we'd have been top 6.
Give Mick some dosh and we'd do alright me thinks. We cannot play pretty footy on this budget. |
Money and passing football have never and never will be related. All footballers want to play passing football, it's what makes someone want to play and be a footballer. |  |

None of those explain why we were the worst footballing team last season
We clearly weren't. Some of the sides were far worse than us last season. They just were | |

This .
We play 'Hoofball' which is basically give it to Skuse,he passes it either back or sideways,then it happens 'HOOF' and they chase it. | |

At least Brizzle got a decent pre season friendly in FC Twente. |
Exactly, shame we haven't got a decent pre season friendly lined up ? |  | | |

We are an entitled lot, aren't we? Expecting our owner to throw his money into the team every year to keep up with the madness which has happened since he took over (I don't think we should), expecting sexy and competitive football.
I don't disagree that last season we played some rotten football. But are you really looking for great football at the expense of everything? It's a balancing act, one which Mick admits he got wrong last season.
I don't expect anyone to just put up with it, but I also couldn't give less of a toss what other fans think of us. And I'm giving Mick and the team a fresh slate this season. Anything else just doesn't seem like being a 'supporter'.

Exactly. We have the pest as an owner and this summer is no different to the previous ones. No significant investment to make us progressive, better and stronger.
And you say fans accept it therefore he'll never ever find an easier environment in football. Just smashing, easy going Ipswich fanbase who will be walking around with his name on their blue shirts. |
Smashing | |

Cutting the lawn is the simple but ain't it.
It's the stuff outside of the lawn that needs care, time and attention. | |

Actually as he was a supporter of the other 23 teams in the league he seems quite well qualified. |  | | |

I'm suggetsing that perhaps we don't react with barely concealed glee because one of the voices in UB's head has a west country accent. [Post edited 26 Jul 2017 15:23]

He's actually only come out with the bog standard set of Mick McCarthy cliches.
We've had a couple of bad games at Ashton Gate (for one of which our midfield was practically wiped out by injury and suspension), but I take it he wasn't at Portman Road in December, when we played anything but 'negative', 'boring long ball' - and won. |  |

It's almost as if there's been a touch of fabrication here. Almost. | |

3000 people in 2 seasons wouldnt have handed their season tickets in if we were more pleasing on the eye.
