When Broadhead put away the penalty last night I got a lump in my throat and felt the beginnings of me choking up ...
I've supported Ipswich for nearly 50 years and never had a moment like that before, even with our past successes.
Thank you Keiren, the players, Game changer, the fans and all at the club for making me proud to be an Ipswich supporter again.

That was the sort of moment which, in my 20 years of going, just screamed of a miss. You could sense the relief from the players as well as of course us when that hit the net.
Despite that being a massive win, I still left slightly deflated after Plymouth's last minute winner. The fact we lie on 88 points with 4 to play and may not go up is mental, and I really hope for the first time since i've been going, we get over the line and have something to celebrate! |  |

I got a massive scrape down my left shin as I made contact with the seat in front.... |  |

The first goal at derby gave me that.
I know if there’s a promotion party that my mind, in the middle of all the joy, will start to think of Town fans that have departed and would have adored to be part of those celebrations, that’ll be another lump in throat moment |  |

Was thinking of you earlier. It's been 4yrs since our beer in Surfers Paradise.
4yrs!
Hope you're all good. |  |

I don't remember ever being as nervous for a penalty before, really was an incredible relief when it hit the net. |  | | |

When it was given there seemed to be such a sense of relief, for all our probing that we had unlocked them. Then a realization that we hadn't converted it yet. Took forever to get to the point Broadhead was running up, I thought the ref was pretty weak there and could've dealt with their gamesmanship a little better.
But the buzz when I saw the keeper going the wrong way and the net rippled. They're the moments that make all the sh1t we've endured worth it aren't they.
I'm relaxed about Plymouth's results. If they slip up it's a bonus, but I'm looking at it now as a clean 2 team shoot off for 2nd. The games are running out for Wednesday, we've got an additional point in the bag, a far superior GD and a game in hand. We're in the driving seat and still masters of our destiny. If we can match or better their result on Saturday I'll be delighted. |  |

I'm praying we win on Saturday, imagine having to go to Barnsley out of all places needing a win to take 2nd back. Of course if Wednesday lose to Exeter and we win both then we're up.
Weird season this one! | |

it will be a tough game but we are capable of winning there.
I'd probably take a point now and not even get on the bus if we win on Saturday! | | | |

Yeah and no offence to Chaplin but I was more confident when Broadhead picked the ball up! |  |

Nope. I thought back to Clapham against Bolton in 2000 which was tense but I don’t think it as the tense, we still thought we would win anyway by that point. |  |

Spot on. You are absolutely right when you say we are the masters of our own destiny. Of course it can all change. This Division beggars belief. I recently went on a long holiday, 35 nights in fact. May seem great to many. but in truth was a bit of a nightmare as I'm an old codger now (72). The missus was ill and so was I and then my legs flared up so I couldn't get my decent shoes on. When I left for my hols Town had only played a couple of their matches in this amazing run and I think were still 8 points adrift. Of course I kept checking the results on a Saturday or Tuesday and the run, although the 1-1 blip against Cheltenham has continue. A vast amount of this run, although Chaplins form has been great is undoubtedly down to the January Window. Wednesday fans are apparently in part blaming the fact that they didn't recruit as we did. I could have been deja vu for us also if we hadn't had McKenna and Co aware of our needs. I hope and pray we get over the line. I'm nor really bothered if we are Champs or second as I do think with those in charge whoever goes up with us will be trailing in our wake next season as sure as eggs are eggs McKenna will have his ideas about who to recruit during the closed season. |  | | |

The power of football can never be understated. I was shaking in my car driving home wishing the minutes away refreshing twitter after we took the lead. Literally shaking. |  |

I felt bad as when the ref blew his whistle, I just kept saying please not chaplin.
20+ goals, but I just didn't want to see him place the ball down. sorry chappers
But the way Broady took that pen, his body shape, you could tell exactly why the keeper went the way he did, expertly taken |  |

Balls of steel to be fair to the lad. A penalty of that magnitude, in front of a full house, a lengthy delay and opposition players doing their utmost to put him off.
Takes big b0llocks to step up and tuck that away like he did. | |

I'd love to see a longer highlight of the pen, apparently, Broady didn't once look at the goal during that whole 1.30 between whistles being blown. | |

Penaltygate : Sheer agony for what seemed HOURS, then unbelievable joy and relief all at once . Heart rate ( normally 54), went off the Richter scale. |  |

1 minute 30...? Is that all it was?...

All of the good that has happened and is happening with this new era of ITFC since my Dad (a huge Town fan) passed away in mid-2021 is tinged with sadness. |  |

4yrs!
Hope you're all good. |
Hey Bossbeard, nice to hear from you. Notice that younot around on here much. Your humour is very much missed mate even if some didn't quite 'get'your style ...
Yeah, doesn't time fly. A very enjoyable short but sweet session that was. My daughter is 15 now and at that time had a ball ribbing me that I was meeting a stranger from the Internet when I always warned her about, well, strangers on the Internet!
We are good though. Planning on getting over there in September, and certainly to a game, so maybe we can have another beer together.
Hope all is good in your world. | | | |

Your last paragraph is where I’m at. Other clubs’ results? Not in our control. We’ve put ourselves in a great position with not many games to go. It’s very much a cliche but it really is as KM suggests, all about focussing on the next game and not getting ahead of ourselves. If we do that, as we did at Bolton and Derby, we will be fine.
Peterborough are in good form, have a good record against us and will be up for it. I couldn’t care a less. After 42 games, the table doesn’t lie. We are better than them and whatever firepower they have got, we’ve got more.
Yes, if we can just match or better Wednesday’s result…… [Post edited 20 Apr 2023 8:07]

Exactly the same. Was sat on the sofa in rural Herefordshire still recovering from knee surgery, watching with my 9 year old on iFollow. Couldn’t talk to him during the build up to the pen, nervy as anything, and when it hit the back of the net the relief was so immense.
Hopefully one day it’ll mean as much to the boy, who over the last season is now a fully converted Blue. Cheeky so and so even got to meet Warky at the Wycombe game. |  | | |
