Robbed by the Ref...
at 23:10 7 Nov 2023

The standard of refereeing across the Premier league and EFL is shockingly bad. The VAR debacles just demonstrate that its yet another failed institution. How we have gone all season without a penalty demonstrates that, two clear shouts for a penalty tonight.

I had some sympathy for refs before VAR but it has completely gone now. There is no communication, accountability or respect and looking back over the last season and this one it raises a question of integrity. Week after week we see a lack of consistency and nonsensical decisions being made. There is rarely an apology or explanation given or an admission of making a mistake.

This trickles down to the amateur leagues. Any one who has refereed a kids game or any game for that matter will have inevitably faced some criticism from the sidelines. If this incompetence continues at the top level it will continue to diminish the respect for referees at all levels.

A story from pre-season (a longer read to occupy the nerves)
at 08:30 30 Apr 2023

Thanks for sharing this. It is always interesting to get some inside information on the interactions in the squad. It reiterates the view that there is clear that the bond between the players and management which has no doubt helped them on the pitch and is part of Kieran M's management strategy.

Good point. He has clearly responded to the coaching here and come through long periods out of the side both from injury and not being able to break into the side.
A credit to both himself and the management team given where he is now. As you say, his attributes complement the others in the backline.

at 17:37 13 Nov 2022

Completely agree.

It is hard to understand why he does not start home games at least as he offers something different, although credit to the coaches as his all- round game is much improved from last season - passing, crossing and decision-making. In the context of both some recent results, Chaplin's most recent contributions and to a lesser extent Harness.

Apart from that he is just fantastic to watch!

Thanks for the positive and constructive post.

Like others I hope you are top 2 with us and definitely best team we have played. I am not so sure you will fade there are advantages to a tight knit smaller squad with a clearly defined style of play with an intelligent manager.

Good luck!

Agree. Much better than Sunderland and Spurs. Arteya is very open and honest I am looking forward to the rest of the series particularly given the bad run at the end of the season. Can already see howAubameyang situation arose. He just does not seem to the on the same page.

Golf Mk 8 - anybody got one?
at 14:01 6 Jan 2022

If you are interested in the GTI version s worth checking out the Polo GTI.

Not a massive difference in size to the Golf but cheaper and lovely to drive (auto). I have a 2018 and love it.

THere is a bit of plastic in the interior but you have the tartan trim and two colour dash option. I think most cars in that range are going to have a bit of plastic.

I find the touchscreen ok and have dials for climate etc., but think they have changed recently so they are more touch based and recall seeing that this had not gone down that vwell.

Good luck

Peter Reid has an advisory role at the club?
at 00:24 10 Oct 2021

Interesting that Hunt has now started to push on the ITFC supporter angle. Perhaps he thinks that most have forgotten that his links with Ipswich are purely based on furthering his career given that Doncaster did not work out and clearly a similar tweet from Ely City FC would not quite have the same impact.....

I am not sure he will find he has too much in common with Peter Reid....

We have a brilliant squad of individual playera
at 22:42 17 Aug 2021

I have had a nagging worry about the coaching team that Cook has appointed from the moment they were announced .

Not simply that Richardson is not there but a potential lack of experience and tactical nous amongst them That is not meant to be critical of any of those as individuals. If I am correct, we do not actually have anyone who played as a defender? Which may explain some of what has been happening. I am not suggesting Terry Butcher is or was the answer but could he or someone similar have added some balance from that perspective.

Attn: home exercise boyos re getting a Turbo
at 21:58 16 Jul 2021

I got one at the start of last year. I put an old hybrid bike on it . (I got the cheapest smart trainer ELite ZUmo - £400 on themarket at the time).

One of the best investments I have made. So many options on Zwift. I am now in a group where we have races, group rides and challenges alongside the stuff that is on Zwift routinely. I used to do a lot of cycling on the road - including a commute 13 miles each way but got fed up of the traffic and had a couple of near misses.

As I say I am using a 15 year old hybrid bike. The trainer difficulty is adjustable in Zwift so I don't need to worry about gearing ratios being sufficient etc. so I think a mountain bike would be ok from that perspective even if the geometry is not necessarily perfect. I am not suggesting it is a substitute for cycling on the road but as a fitness tool in my view it is fantastic and I much prefer to the spinning classes I did at the gym previously.

I guess it depends what you want to get out of it. Good luck

Macauley Bonne - An Insight
at 11:55 26 Jun 2021

Thank,s thats a useful analysis. I enjoy your articles btw - keep up the good work

If he is not seen as the out and out number 1 this probably seems a good move. I note that he seems to have improved his fitness from his time as a youth. Also has played on the right wing so may have some of that versatility Cook is looking for. In summary could be a good signing as an alternative option up front to Norwood, though we possibly need one other in the absence of a youth/academy player that is on the fringes.

It can't hurt that he is still a supporter.

Confirmed - Official Thank You Thread: Chambers | Skuse | Sears
at 21:04 14 May 2021

Chambo - Regardless of the clubs fortunes in your time here I will remember you as one fo the finest captains the club has ever had. You were brave and committed on the pitch and a complete role model and leader off it. I wish you all the best for the future and sure you will be successful in the rest of your playing career and expect you to come back as manager in the not too distant future.

Skusey - Probably one of the most underrated players to appear for town. You had to really appreciate football to recognise his contribution. All the best - another great role model.

Freddie - We desperately needed a player of your type when you arrived and you created a reall buzz. Never gave less than 100%. I am sure there is more to come.

I had to read this twice and then check the date - 2nd April. Word fail me and I agree with what has been said above.I just feel sad that a person like this is represeting my home town, particularly when the town had a really good consituency MP, regardless of your political persuasion

He also liked this reply. I think this demonstrates the type of conservative party that is beginning to dominate at a local and national level. It was about time they had another dig at the teachers:

I have also emailed the club. Never felt the need to before, but this is the final straw

50 years of supporting and I can never recall feeling so low.

Is there any way I can remove my cardboard cut out in protest? (I assume they might be removed now with limited nos of supporters now allowed back in)
