kick it off 654 Posted January 26 Them lot also conceded a penalty today... Slightly less clear cut than the one we did I think it is safe to say. Β What a shame. Looks stonewall from where I'm sitting anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 114 Posted January 26 Agreed- Penalty all day long!! Never a question that the Villa guy was maybe jumping up and flailing around as he passed the defender from behind. Good decision. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 554 Posted January 27 The Referee was well placed and there looks like an arm up, perhaps that's what he gave it forΒ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 258 Posted January 27 (edited) The Villa player was positioned and preparing to meet the cross with a header for goal. In some way he was impeded and then of course made the most of things. Β The ref. could not have been better positioned. Strange penalty decision and probably slightly harsh but the official clearly saw that the Villa player was impeded in some way. He was on top of the incident. It's not that, more so that in every weekly defeat the binners seem to always be so unlucky with decisions, one way or the other. Every single game. TheyΒ were denied one stone-waller (penalty) later in this game as well apparently. Β They must be the unluckiest team ever to be seven points from safety at this stage of the season. They are a good side who don't deserve to be where they are and have the best collection of youth ever seen according to Lambert's consistent bull shine. So unlucky though It's all fascinating stuff at least. I personally never took much interest in ITFC results under McCarthy as they were always destined to be more or less mid-table in the end in any event. The opposite is the case this season, especially with Lambert doing no better than their ultimate scapegoat, Paul Hurst.

Branston Pickle 182 Posted January 28 Maybe they will be able to trade one of their stars for staying up!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 46 Posted January 29 Doesn't look like much of a penalty to me. The only thing I can think of is the Ipswich player's arm going across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
