An outstanding performance, great goals from quick exciting football. Not really fair to name a man of the match, Hutchinson will get all the plaudits, he had a great game, but for me Luongo was outstanding, he covered every blade of grass! |

Why do some people need to criticise or abuse ex players? Ok Freddie wasn’t a Mariner, Brazil, Bent or even a McGoldrick but he always gave 100%. If you remember after a reasonably productive first season, McCarthy turned him into a defensive wide left player, not his natural game. Good luck Freddie as you drop down the ladder! |
| News Comment | Ipswich Town 1-2 Maidstone United - Match Report at 17:41:36
Valuable lessons today primarily for the fans:- We have no right to win every game no matter how inferior the opposition. We totally dominated, 38+ attempts on goal, 1 executed. Them, 2 attempts, 2 executed No lack of effort, but no real confidence after 15 minutes when we could a have been 4 up Broadhead is not a striker, I hope the Jackson haters will take a long hard look at themselves This is the first real setback for McKenna since he has been in management. Hopefully he will come through it stronger. Let the squad now show character, put it behind them and secure promotion to the promised land! |
| News Comment | Ipswich Town 2-2 Norwich City - Match Report at 16:27:10
A tough game against rugged opponents who worked their b*lls off! Difficult to play the game and not the occasion. Despite that we were clearly the better team and should have won it in the first half. 2 bad misses by Broadhead and Burns. Sometimes you do not get the rub as the two misses and their goals demonstrate. That’s football. Burgess quietly outstanding just shaded for mom by Harry Clarke whose passion shone through. A long way to go, no easy games, but we have the talent to be there or thereabouts come May. |
| News Comment | Ipswich Town 2-1 Coventry City - Match Report at 18:14:18
Two superb goals was really the difference, the second goal came just at the time Coventry were getting on top. A brilliant save from our keeper and a missed penalty has to be taken into consideration. Having said that, a million times better than we had sadly endured pre McKenna! |

Venus was next to Stewart the best business Burley did! Exchanged with Sedgley plus money our way, a great deal! |
| News Comment | Stevenage 2-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report at 18:10:12
To all you ‘remoaners’ you must actually want us to fail? I remember preseason 1972/3. We lost every pre-season friendly. All was doom and gloom. I was at the first game of the season, Man U at Old Trafford. Beattie made his debut, won 2 1, totally dominated them, finished 4th that season, the start of the glory years. Let’s get behind the team and keep an open mind! |
| News Comment | Woolfenden: We Do Our Talking On the Pitch at 11:55:36
I watched Bristol Rover train at Felixstowe for their night game earlier in season. Joey Barton set up a training game to counter our threat and catch us on the break. He told their forwards that our young centre half was not as good as people said and should be pressurised. Didn't quite work out that way! |
| News Comment | Ipswich Town 4-0 Wycombe Wanderers - Match Report at 17:26:57
Another brilliant performance, what is so frustrating is that my best mate lives in Plymouth and lives and breathes them, he just messaged me to tell that 4 of their last 7 games are at home, I so want to rub his nose in it!!! |
| News Comment | Barton: McKenna a Man Under Pressure at 10:37:32
Bristol Rovers trained at Delwood Avenue the home of Felixstowe and Walton United the morning of the game at Portman Road earlier in the season. He was very respectful and complimentary to his hosts, and after the training session he made sure his players and staff cleaned up and left no mess behind. Don't believe everything about him you read in the press. |
| Blog Comment | Another New Manager, Another New Gamble at 16:58:41
Spot on monty_radio! I think Sir Bobby was third choice? three other so called top managers turned us down and rode the train to obscurity! Lucky for us Robson was out of work and desperate to get back into management. Frank Brogan was signed I think by Jackie Milburn, he didnt immediately pull up any trees but flourished under Bill McGarry. I well remember that horrendous tackle by that thug Gilzean that really finished his career. McGarry never got the recognition he deserved, he made Jefferson, Hegan, Morris as well as Brogan better players. He developed Viljeon and built a team from scratch to become a decent top tier team. Oh the memories! |
| News Comment | Town Appoint Director of Football Operations at 14:41:50
I hate to be cynical but we have more background staff than the government has civil servants and more coaches than National Express. I know the game has changed but Bobby Robson seemed to manage it with 3 assistants, 1 working alongside him, 1 with the reserves and 1 with the youth team. We produced much higher quality players then! |
| News Comment | O'Neill: No Offer on Table For Town at 16:32:16
There is a deal in negotiation at the moment for sure! Evans would not have just sacked Lambert, too much of a coincidence, particularly as we have won the last two games. O'Neal is reading from a prepared script. |
| News Comment | Banished Duo Angered By Manager's Comments at 18:03:23
We don't really know what is going on, but for the facts that are known, I think Lambert is being at least petty. Jackson had a rush of blood but isn't Lambert cutting his nose to spite his face? As for Nolan, why take him on a overnight 500 mile round trip if you have no intention of using him? |
| Blog Comment | Be Careful What You Wish For at 11:21:04
Agree on that point Nthsuffolkblue, but my point is that I believe and really worry that Evans will cut his losses and walk away. What happens then? worst case scenario the club folds! Very worrying times! |
| News Comment | Bent: Something's Got to Change at Town, Fans Are Telling Me the Soul's Been Ripped Out of the Club at 15:53:20
Not wanting to upset anybody but I think it is time the fans woke up and smelled the coffee! Things may well have to get worse before they get better? I am sure Evans would love to sell the club but who would buy it? Unfortunately history and tradition is worth nothing in monetary terms. There is no asset to sell. Downes, Dozzell, Woolfie may generate a few million but nowhere near enough to cover the debt owed to Evans. Evans must be suffering badly at this moment in time. His core business cannot possibly be making any money and the football club loses money at an alarming rate! I doubt he can afford to sack Lambert and all his staff? I think our only hope at the moment is that Evans says 'enough is enough' and decides to cut his losses and then hopefully someone will come in and steer the club back to some kind of prosperity. I am not holding my breath! |
| News Comment | Taylor: Draw Would Have Been a Fair Result at 11:35:50
I cannot see anyway out of this? Evans owns the club and I am sure he desperately wants to sell it? Who would buy it? There are no assets. The ground is owned by the council and Evans owns the training ground personally I understand? The only other asset is the players - well after the last two seasons, I think liabilities would be more apt! I think one also has to factor in the current pandemic, Evans must be suffering greatly as his main business is corporate entertainment and there hasn't been much of that in the past year. To summarize, Evans owns a large field on the edge of Ipswich which is only o fany use if he could obtain planning permission to build houses. His businesses are probably hemorrhioring money at a vast rate in particular his football club! Sorry folks but far smarter guys than me would struggle to find a happy solution |
