Thread | Sidney Poitier article
at 16:07 7 Jan 2022
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27198480
Think this is a bit weird... First paragraph is "Sidney Poitier, who has died aged 94, once turned down the role of Othello because he did not want to be typecast as a black actor."
But the title literally reinforces the stereotype he wanted to avoid "Obituary: Iconic black actor Sir Sidney Poitier".
What do people think? Am I reading this incorrectly? Or is it a disrespectful and uneasy juxtaposition?

Kieron MacKenna, can we at least make sure we are getting the spelling correct from day one?
Or has this been done already? |

Thread | I think I'm done with Men's football...
at 07:10 16 Nov 2021
It just isn't competitive.
On Thursday Germany won 9-0. Czechia won 7-0. Croatia 7-1. Russia 6-0. On Saturday France won 8-0. Turkey won 6-0. On Monday England won 10-0.
Games like these do the men's game no favours. It's hard to take them seriously. The gulf in class is particularly noticeable between the different nations goalkeepers. The ball seems to go through them.
For the record, I've only watched 5 mins of men's football and that was just the highlights. [Post edited 16 Nov 2021 7:11]

Just watched their highlights. Do you think they'll play a high backline against us too?
Only a short clip, so maybe reading too much into it. |

Thread | Next Five (and nine) Games
at 23:08 23 Oct 2021
Plymouth (1st) Away
Wycombe (2nd) Away
Oxford Utd (6th) Home
Sunderland (4th) Away
Rotherham (5th) Home
Also, looking ahead to our next nine games, that's 7 out of the top 6 across 9 games.
Wigan (3rd) Away
Sunderland (4th) Home
Insane fixtures. Definitely going to get an idea of how well we've progressed over the next month or two.

Thread | So happy after that one...
at 17:04 23 Oct 2021
Winning when not at our best is what we need to start doing, so great so see us scoring the winning injury time goal. Bizarre that I'm happier seeing this than the 4-0 Portsmouth game.
5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in our last 8 games. Definitely progress being made. |

Thread | Midfield Goals
at 18:55 30 Sep 2021
For a long time now we've been aware that Ipswich have lacked goals from Midfield. Aside from a Gwion flurry at the start of the season, it was consistently bad.
We obviously have a small sample to go from, but we are up from .43 goals per game (gpg) to .66 gpg. Over the course of a season, that would add an extra 10 goals to the team.
You'd hope, and expect, that gpg figure to increase, as the players improve their understanding of each other and what is required of them.
Fingers crossed it's onwards and upwards |
