Donkey dangler 0 Posted October 23, 2017 Did anybody see their banner showing our club badge behind the Ipswich badge, with words about us living in their shadow.I almost choked when I saw that. They really are a deluded bunch!OTBC! We stuffed the binners (yet again)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincsy88 95 Posted October 23, 2017 I''ve seen that at nearly every derby game I have been too, I think its as old as their FA Cup win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adams Family 1 Posted October 23, 2017 Wouldn''t it be good to have a banner made up to hold up in the Barclay when they come to Carrow road in February! Any ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted October 23, 2017 Something with 3 stars on it? one for each draw they''ve managed against us in the last 9 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted October 23, 2017 Maybe a giant banner with 10 stars, and a picture of Wessi in each one, 10 derbies and never been on the losing side once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 23, 2017 No, that would be demeaning ourselves and sinking to their level.Our position (and theirs) in the table will say all we need to know.At the moment we are all they have, unfortunately (for them) that doesn''t apply the other way round.For those interested the photo is on the Pinkun website, orhereIt rather suggests the impoverished farmhands ran out of money because the back end of the donkey has been cut off - rather as it was at 59 mins play yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarders 4 Posted October 23, 2017 Watched the game and saw the sign then heard the commentator mention twice about ipswich being in our shadow. Pity whoever was holding up the sign probably won''t be watching the game back to hear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted October 23, 2017 They think they''re as big as us, yet in two AWAY games we will have taken 75% of their average home attendance. That''s beyond embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted October 24, 2017 You really couldn''t make it up, I''ve never seen such a deluded bunch of supporters, and I''m not just saying that because it is Ipswich - they really do seem to think they are a big deal in football don''t they? I saw one of their lot mention the other day that under Sheepshanks they were the "blueprint for all clubs to follow" - HAHAHAHA! Going into administration twice and screwing over local businesses, such an admirable example to follow. And where do they get this notion from that they are everyone''s second club? Who really gives a toss about them? They are so irrelevant now, country-wide, and we are clearly now the bigger club with the better following and the best recent history (oops that trigger word, history) Maybe they can go and fire up their VHS and cry into their "Destruction Derby" tape from 1998 as they love their history that much!Let them bring their signs and banners from 1978 - as said above, we''ll do our talking on the pitch and turn them over again and again. Love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,162 Posted October 24, 2017 I have just visited TWTD for the first time since the game and rather belatedly as I usually love a bit of schadenfreude at their expense.The clamour against McCarthy''s tenure is almost universal whilst most want Evan''s to sell .... just like that.What is there to sell exactly though? Whilst not quite understanding the concept of "buying a debt," the local council owns the site, if not the infrastructure, the Marcus Evans group owns the training ground and the playing staff are not particularly valuable by comparison. Goodwill is dissipating by the week.I suppose the statues might fetch a few bob and a local pawn shop might take on all those trophies (assuming he had the room on his shelves that is.) Nothing else seems worth a light.We all have our grumbles at Smithy at regular intervals but at least our club now has assets in abundance, both on and off the pitch.

Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted October 24, 2017 Since they got their last star the derby fixture hasn''t been to kind to our poor (meant both figuratively and literally) neighbours down the road. In the 49 games played in all competitions we''ve won 23, drawn 10 and lost 16 and out scored them 63 goals to 53. Not sure how big a shadow that''d cast, maybe I should phone talk sport tomorrow morning to ask Alan Brazil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they had bothered to read the letter Shystershanks sent out they would have seen that the money was to be used for metting ongoing paymenst - which they couldn''t.Hence they still haven;t grasped why it has all gone tts up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,121 Posted October 28, 2017 Read the bit about their academy, which was amusing. Their pitch to parents of prospects seems to be "you''ll get a much better chance of progression here because we''re a bit sh*t".But tl;Dr after that, lots of complaints about catering and running out of beer. Their version of "warm sausage roll-gate". Did I miss any gems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
