    I’m entitled to my opinion. As you are yours. My opinion is that thinking players like Hanley are the kind of starters we need, is to expect lower than I personally want to. Committed, yes. Professional, yes. Error prone, yes. And certainly made to look better by our other poor options back there. 

    Sounds like you are.

    Unfortunately your opening post comes across as rude and crass towards one of our top professionals.

    For some reason, I'm sure you're a binner? It would make sense

    I also read that, but it also seemed to be the case that our lot went looking for it. No time for anyone involved in that nonsense on either side. Constantly dragging the rest of normal football fans through the mud.

    From what I saw (albeit a limited view) there were a group of ippo fans being escorted by police down thorpe rd towards the ground  and it looked like a group of city fans waiting near the junction just before the ground. As they approached, it kicked off but the police were there fairly quick and made arrests.

    I think it also impacted the Ipswich players. I'm not sure they're known for passing the ball out into touch regularly!

    100% they wilted under the big game atmosphere and noise the city fans made throughout.

    It may have helped if their support decided to step up however, they spectacularly failed to do so, again!

    The Ipswich team looked very nervous.

    The Ipswich fans were a disgrace to their club, chasing automatic promotion away to their hated rivals and they sat there like cardboard cut outs for most of the game.

    MENTALLY WEAK..............

    Just about spot on.

    Very poor support from them considering they were top of the table. Quiet before, during and for obvious reasons, after the game 


  5. The whole city was up for that as was the players in seems. Atmosphere outside the ground was superb (some unsavoury and funny moments which I will comment on later).

    it was just one of those days, from walking into the City up Westlegate then down POW Rd past a number of city filled pubs, you could sense the expectation and feel the occasion.

    Had a funny moment outside Riverside spoons around 11:30 when group of fans were being escorted over the bridge. The gathered city fans thought they were ippo supporters and suddenly the atmosphere turned quite aggressive really quickly. The amusing thing was that this group realising the pub had turned towards them started singing city songs and were clearly (for reasons unknown) just being escorted by the police. 

    The noise outside spoons was reminiscent of times past and it was thick with green smoke and colour. But around the ground there was a definite edge to it all.

    Off we went to the ground and we decided as we were early to walk around it. Walking behind the city stand thinking we realised we were actually 20-30meters behind a small group of 5-6 late teenage / early 20s ipswich fans all wearing their team shirts. They offered no aggression and received none in return which was good to see. However, (possibly due to being ignored and god only knows why) when at the back of the Barclay they started a very quiet chant and I think that sealed their fate when they ran into a less than charitable bunch. Two were unceremoniously thrown into a nearby hedge and there then seamed to follow one scrap after another as a large group of supporters came down from the Thorpe area. The policing and separation of supporters was quite poor I thought before the game especially near the corner of the Barclay and South stand. Anyway, we didn't make it round the whole way.

    Inside the ground the atmosphere and subsequent support and noise from the city fans was absolutely superb throughout.

    I have no idea what was going on with the ippo support but it was simply abysmal throughout the game, no idea what as going on there. probably one of the worst I have seen there, quite shocking really.

    It is in my opinion that our support roared the team on to victory today. 

    Cheers all.

    I think many people have always been far too critical of the mistakes he makes compared to what he brings in terms of carrying the ball and his passing ability.  

    I do think this season at times he’d looked just about as good as he ever has, yesterday being a case in point.

    Exactly this, spot on.

    It is noticeable how quickly weak people follow 'sheep like' the loud moaners especially at the ground (and on here) with regards to KM. Unable to make their own reasonable assessment.

    Yet we have seen Sara (who is a superb player) make numerous mistakes in games and there is not a single peep out of the same negatively minded people. 

    He is an easy target for those who like to whinge.

    Is he a PL top class midfielder? I don't know. Is he a top class Champs midfielder? 100% yes. Start supporting his efforts and we will reap the rewards.

    Shocking behaviour and talk on some of the Cardiff forums of joining our Derby in April for some payback. Not sure I’d travel half the breadth of the country but they are not very happy and of course have a fan base that don’t tend to take prisoners 

    That's about the state of it. Some innocent town fan gets attacked simply because a cretin from a support who are not known for trouble decided to hit a pensioner in Cardiff.

     Whilst that act is disgusting, it is not right to castigate their whole fan base over it.

    Got to do it consistently over a season though. Adam Armstrong went for £15m after 19 and 28 goals and his PL record suggests that wasn’t great value. 

    That will not stop clubs (including yourselves possibly) looking to put in a bid on a striker who looks the real deal against everyone he comes up against. Unfortunately.


  9. Unfortunately it's the way it is. If we fail to go up I suspect two or three of Rowe, Sargent, Sara, Sainz and Gunn will go, and want to go. However, we have been here before and we will build again.

    In any case there is a good chance we hit the playoffs and anything could happen. OTBC
