PL Ipswich Town (h) post match thread

[eyalluvitt]

No complaints for the Dias decision.

We were fortunate with the Savinho decision.

Not a cat’s chance in hell that Jack dived, think the ref was ‘evening up’ on the Savinho decision. Piss poor decision by the ref imo. Not saying it was a pen but it wasn’t a dive either.

A couple of their players but most noticeably Delap got away with repeated ridiculous fouling.

The length of time he took to do anything for our penalty was bizarre, and fuck me how many times did he need to look at the replays. Gave the vibe that he was desperately searching for a reason NOT to give us the pen.

Grealish got his ankle kicked, how VAR didn’t give a Pen after eagle eyed Stevie Wonder carded Jack for diving

Don't murder me but I didn't think the ref was that bad.

He was correct in booking Grealish and Dias from what I could see.

The biggest thing he got wrong was the possible penalty for Ipswich. But so did VAR as usual.

If Jack was in a Villa shirt he would have got a pen, yellow my arse ;-)

Rico is unbelievable, and far better midfielder than the so-called next coming mainoo even when he plays right back

Nah - wasn't it his first PL game? A few minutes in at a crucial moment. He just wanted to get it right.

I think Stevie dishing out the yellow made it much less likely they would overturn it.

In real time I thought it was a penalty, couldn’t believe he gave the yellow.

Shout out to the Ipswich fans who spent the entire game waiting for a few minutes of relative quiet from City fans to burst into songs about our support, without singing anything else about their own team. Enjoy your year in the top flight, you are the weakest link.

There is a guy sitting in a van here wearing a rag shirt and a MAGA hat. Where do I start?

weirdo loser, spring to mind

Are the rules not that he makes some sort of decision. Options were a goal kick, a free kick or a penalty? Looked like he didn’t do anything initially.

He’s got to have seen it was a foul, you either give the free kick or the penalty and ask VAR to confirm if it was inside or outside the box.

To add the icing on the cake, FC rags also got beat by the mighty Guiseley!

Don’t tell me was it a robin reliant ? Trump and rags = two cheeks of the same arse.

Such a fantastic performance again

I get it's their big day out and they have their cliched championship songbook to get through, but waiting until the 40th minute to squeeze the library stuff in is boring as fuck. Just pure cringe.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Easy win in first gear. Ipswich worked hard and some beat passing at times but they will find it hard work in this league.

Thought Savinho was great first half, Doku worked hard and Rico did well bar his miss.

Haaland excellent and thought Akanji was too.

Thought Doku not so great- not much end product. Tried hard though

Great result. Stone wall for us, surprised they didn’t get theirs.

If they can shore up they have a chance.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The pen must get the reward at the end of the season for The Most Begrudgingly Given Pen of the Season. A clear, obvious, blatant foul. It was right under our nose in CBL3, and the halfwit gives a goal kick. If VAR have directed him to the off pitch telly then it's damn clear to the nation's partially sighted it must be a foul! If he decides the incident took place outside would be get the direct free kick after he's given Ipswich the goal kick.

 

[ancoats]

It was just another normal run-of-the-mill result and a Haaland hattrick, Even the gift of their goal was normal against a newly promoted championship team for us,

The control and game management by Pep after we went 3.1 up was like watching the Lion Tamer and a crack of his whip, We huff and puff and growl a lot but Pep will not let them get out of the routine.

That pass from Kevin to haaland was something else no one playing now could do that.
