Think you've picked a non-existent point of view to argue against here. I've not seen or heard any of the dissenting views you're expressing!
If these views exist they must be small in number and intellect. |

Comment | Norwood Starts For U23s
at 13:43:08
I never usually comment on the comments section but what a load of rubbish from the two replies above. Everyone jumping on this bad boy Norwood bandwagon without any thoughts or analysis of their own. Herd mentality in a dodgy herd.
He made a mistake. The rest is hearsay nonsense and rumour.
We need Norwood now more than ever and he has never criticised the club. Went out of his way to praise Cook after his sacking too.
Top bloke. |

Comment | Big Al

Good read. Those of us who were lucky enough to be around in those days will never underestimate Hunter's contribution to our success.
My memories of him are those of an unbeatable centre-half. Dominant in aerial battles and an uncanny ability to fairly stop defenders who were running straight at him. He wasn't the fastest, but his tackling meant that he never had to chase anyone. Also the very occasional mazy run out of defence with the ball at his feet, which always raised a big cheer from the Portman Road faithful.
I met Al several years later when my son was at the academy and he was taking the training sessions. What a nice gentleman. We also met under the gym for a crafty cigarette....
We were blessed with some great players in those days and Hunter was definitely one of the best! |

Comment | John O’Rourke – Unsung Hero
at 11:32:38
Very interesting and well written and researched.
John O'Rourke scored the only Ipswich goal in the first match that I ever saw. Unfortunately a 1-4 home defeat to Newcastle in October 1968. Great player. |

Good historical read but I thought the G&T story involved Lady Blanche Cobbold and Margaret Thatcher? |

Comment | Green’Un With Envy
at 07:59:18
As a youngster, I used to have to cycle in to Lowestoft town centre on a Saturday evening to purchase my copy from an old boy who stood outside The Lowestioft Journal offices. I was never quite sure whether he was an official seller, was on some sort of commission or was just doing everyone a favour. I think he was only there for about an hour. He had an old trade bike parked up with his papers stacked in the front basket if I remember correctly. Of course, he sold the Pink'un as well, but we don't talk about that!
The reports were so detailed that you had to skip through them, but the team news section on the inside was fascinating. Most of the local league stuff was "far away" in the unknown villages of south Suffolk, but it certainly improved my local geography skills. |

Comment | What Do Stewards Actually Do?
at 17:26:00
I disagree. At every match there are hundreds of these little hitlers. Most of them do nothing except sit staring at the crowd. Why are there so many? We never had them 30 years ago when we all stood up. Why do we need them in all-seater stadiums? I object to paying for them, to be honest. I know this will be controversial, and we're supposed to say "oh yes, they do a jolly good job" but in my opinion they're a complete waste of time, money and space. Just look stem all........what are they doing? |

I guess the reason that there are no comments is because nobody can understand a word of this!

Good analysis but there are lots of typos. One has already been mentioned but there are several more. Read through it again- I'm sure you'll see them. Good luck with the course and your career |

Braintree: I like the spelling correction but your grammar is incorrect!
Must HAVE been going through hell. Not "of."
Must try harder ;-) |

Didn't we use this one a couple of years ago and that time they did sell it as a limited edition? I'm sure I bought one and its still in its bag somewhere.... |
