Lessingham Canary 99 Posted February 26, 2017 Loved the banner today, that was a surprise and seemed to have the desired effect, especially when the scum held up their "in the shadow" effort, quality that was worth all 3 points on its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 26, 2017 Thought the applause was meaningless at best. Fair enough for the people who did it.But the 14 years business is a history thing and they can point to their peaks of history being far more epic than ours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted February 26, 2017 As can Portsmouth .. and more recently as wellSimilarly Sheff Utd with titles and FOUR FA cupsneither of which matter diddly squat the pi ss take about the binners is because they keep on bleating about their ''glorious history''so they will get a reminder of how irrelevant it is ie 15th season in a row in the 2nd tier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirsty Lizard 3,155 Posted February 26, 2017 The difference Keelansgrandad is that we don''t spend the whole game singing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did not hear much singing today to be honest but was only watching on SKY.The pre match hype didn''t appear to be justified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What club''s do internally is their concern.nTheirs is not internal but and endless whine like a kitten wating feedingAs fans we do not claim some ''special'' staus because of that glorious history, there are no constant idiotic squeaks about our club being everybody;s favourite second club. No pther club''s fans have such a fetish, when many such as Villa and Forest have achieved far more than the paupers have or ever will.Even their won manager MM pulled the pi ss out of them about this glorious history guff within days of joing them. I would further suggest that living in Corwall you don''t meet too many binners so don''t hear this endless shite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Seems the the wind up merchant has got wound up to me.Just like the pathetic chanting at each other after yesterdays game, the need to try and act like the past is a chip too many for the girls of the Barclay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,088 Posted February 27, 2017 I''ve seen a couple of references on here recently to claims that the binners think they''re a lot of people''s 2nd club. Is that a real thing? I work with people all over the country and I''ve never even heard anyone mention Ipswich, although most seem well disposed to us, Bayern Munich often gets a mention.I suspect Ipswich supporters think they are a 2nd favourite because most people in Ipswich are either glory hunters who support one of the top PL teams, or are West Ham fans.

Indy 3,283 Posted February 27, 2017 Yes ive heard from a lot of people who say Ipswich is the second best club in EastAnglia, so you can see how the dumb binners get it wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GPs Beard 0 Posted February 27, 2017 The bit that is missing from this debate, is how much to our advantage continually bleating about the past is. If you are unfortunate to visit Portaloo Road, as I was for the Brighton game this year, you are struck by the influence black and white photo''s of "Mickey" Mills still have at the heart of their culture. This is fan lead. The Club, like any organisation knows that is has to live in the here and now to succeed , but it isn''t allowed to. As soon as the Fans get involved, you have the Legends bar, with photos of Trevor Whymark instead of any modern day hero''s that youngsters can relate too. TWTD ran a poll to ask for suggestions about a banner in the Ground and immediately got inundated with photos of dead people like Sir Alf and Bobby Robson. And images of long sideburns and the Twin Towers at Wembley, long ago demolished. In business , those that cling to the past rarely succeed (Good Luck Nokia with the 3310 relaunch BTW) , and the Binners are a cracking example of this. Let them carry on. I can remind my kids about the win at Wembley , the promotions, full houses and celebrations in the City. The binners tell tales of Franz Muhren scoring against some Belgium team that don''t exist any more. Long may it continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
