England playing in dark grey shirts at home
at 19:12 27 Mar 2024

I agree, and wonder if it will be detrimental to football overall in the long run if teams continue to weaken their identities by wearing second and third kits when they could wear home colours.

Imagine if we got promoted and Liverpool came to Portman Road wearing a third kit rather than red, it would deminish the occasion a bit for me.

I would have thought TV companies would want clubs to be instantly recognisable rather than viewers needing to work out which team is which. It makes me think back to that international match a couple of years ago where England Women wore orange and the Netherlands wore white.

I am so glad Ipswich have not repeated that this season. We should always play in blue at Portman Road.

Going back to England, the colours of that tiny little flag on the back of the collar of the white England shirt caused uproar, with even the Prime Minister speaking about it. Yet, marketeers can change the whole colour of our kit and little is said?!

Why are we not wearing white?! With Belgium playing in light blue, the teams are not recognisable. This is supposed to be a dementia awareness match, surely better to play in the familiar colours?!

Wimbledon Women look set to beat Norwich to the title
at 23:15 24 Mar 2024

I am just taking a look how Norwich Women are doing. They are second in one of the leagues below us, the FA Women's Division One South East Division. They played at Carrow Road in front of 5,941 fans today, drawing 2-2 with QPR. League leaders Wimbledon won 6-0 at Cambridge City, putting them 10 points clear at the top. Norwich have two games in hand, but it looks almost certain Wimbledon will win the title and get promoted to our league.

Brazil playing in blue

Does no one play in their proper colours any more?! England's opponents tonight look more like Italy than Brazil.

FA Cup: TNT Sports agrees four-year deal to broadcast competition
at 07:20 16 Feb 2024

It is an issue because if Ipswich are selected for a live match now we can watch for free, but under the new deal we would have to subscribe to TNT to watch it. I believe that costs £30.99 a month, and I don't think there is a match pass / day pass option.

How can selling the FA Cup TV rights to a pay channel few people can receive be good for fans, especially during a cost of living crisis?!

Blue Card = 10 minute sin bin
at 19:45 8 Feb 2024

I don't like the sound of that, more interfering in the game. Football is better when we keep it simple. Dissent is a yellow card surely, and if the player does it again a second yellow.

Get VAR to the Championship
at 15:54 5 Feb 2024

No to VAR. I want to celebrate when the ball hits the net, not four minutes later after VAR officials have finished procrastinating.

1-0 Southampton
at 12:51 20 Jan 2024

Yes, the £40m-odd extra the parachute money clubs get is really beginning to show now. We have done remarkably well to be anywhere near them.

Southampton could have worn their home colours, Swansea are all white!

Camera work and director today was appalling
at 19:21 1 Jan 2024

Yes, today was worse.

Maybe neutral fans like replays, but I doubt supporters of the clubs involved want to miss a single kick of the action.

Other than goals or red cards, do fans really want to watch replays? We miss so much of the game when the ball is in play because of so many replays. Sky does it too.

We're in orange tomorrow I think

I can't see that it would have any effect on results.

Everton go to Tottenham today and are apparently going to wear their red away strip. At least our away shirts are not yellow!

Teams not wearing their home colours when they can is right up there in the list of things I dislike about modern football. Blue is our colour, our heritage, our identity. I want to see us play in blue, and teams coming to Portman Road to wear their home colours when then can. Imagine if we get promoted and Liverpool come to Portman Road wearing a white away shirt. Something is lost from the occasion.

Let’s kick gambling ads out of football
at 19:12 19 Nov 2023

I applaud much of the work ITFC does to promote good mental health, but was disappointed to see an animated roulette wheel on the pitchside adverts recently during a match which somewhat undermines the message.

It is far worse at many clubs, and watching some matches we are under a bombardment of gamling adverts throughout the games. Children are watching these! It isn't right.

As others have written, having so much money in the game does not make it better. The result of these gambling ads is simply that players get even crazier wages.

It is a shame we aren't playing in blue given Rotherham are red and white. We wore blue last time we went to Rotherham.

I am with them and find them very good, with free roaming in the EU unlike many providers after Brexit. Very cheap prices too. I am paying 99p a month for the first six months (5GB), after which I will switch to the £4.50 price on the app.

For several weeks now this forum keeps redirecting me to https://fortunateperson.space where it says "Dear Vodafone customer, congratulations...". It hasn't happened on any other sites and a virus check on my Android phone didn't find anything. Not sure if it is a site issue or my phone / Chrome browser.

No dentists in Ipswich taking 'new' NHS patients

Thank you, I may register there. My worry would be after one checkup they tell me my new NHS dentist has gone private!
