.comsaint Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Always interesting (I think) to read the views of other fans whenever we play them - win, lose or draw. I have read a lot of praise from the Ipswich fans following last night's superb win and - just as importantly - our superb performance. Thought you might like to read a small sample: Sorry ,but i enjoyed tonights game posted by blueoveru on: 00:04 - 04/03/2009 to see such a young side as Southampton pass the ball so well and be so full of running for each other,well it was worth going to see. As for Town it showed what the team really are ,which is a bunch of third rate players ,gathered at huge expense... Sorry ,but i enjoyed tonights game posted by sandy_itfc on: 00:06 - 04/03/2009 In a strange way I enjoyed watching Southapton play it reminded me of how we used to get the ball down and pass. Not like the others posted by Paddy39 on: 00:44 - 04/03/2009 I'm not going to criticise and moan about how bad our display was this evening but just to say how well Saints had played. We were 2nd best all over the park winning none of the 2nd phase balls. Early Bird, I don't think so and to make matters even worse the Scum win at QPR. Enough said GOODNIGHT. Well that was sh** posted by Warky1970 on: 23:13 - 03/03/2009 I didn't think it could get any worse than the Blackpool game a few weeks back but that was truly shocking. It could have been 6 or 7 Nil. Oh dear. My take on last night posted by CITB on: 08:40 - 04/03/2009 Quite frankly I was bit aghast at that. I could not believe what I was seeing. It could be argued that the first goal was scored from a free kick that should not have been awarded, but that would be churlish, Southampton were creating chances all night and deserved at least one goal. Southampton defended well and passed the ball and moved better than us. In short given the way we played, they fully deserved their win. I am trying to think where it went wrong, actually where to start is more the point... Trying to find a positive from that posted by bluefunk on: 08:31 - 04/03/2009 but failing miserably. I have been very much in favour of keeping Jim to the end of the season, but the nature of that defeat has made me reconsider. We were out-thought and out-manouvered last night by a game plan which sought out our weaknesses ( an inexperienced centre back, lack of creativity when faced with solid defences) and a team who were totally focused on the job in hand and their individual roles in delivering at least a point... well i knew Southampton posted by arsekicker on: 22:44 - 03/03/2009 had a bit of form but they blew us away ,i had a feeling if they played well and we poor we would get dicked and it was the outcome. They were a lot better than us today,They have had two different managers and to be honest both better than what we have. They have young players in there side who are hungry and play good football... Well done Southampton posted by J2BLUE on: 22:08 - 03/03/2009 Fantastic performance. They totally deserved it. It was clear who wanted it more tonight and they were better in every department... completely agree, give credit where it is due posted by Grief_ on: 22:22 - 03/03/2009 whatever our misgivings, southampton were much the better side i cant see why they had two goals ruled out, we could have been beaten 5-0. surely you know by following ipswich over the years that nothing runs smoothly we may bounce back http://www.clubfanzine.com/ipswich_town/v2.forum.categ.bythread.php?id_categ=7
St Landrew Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Wish we had time to be a little more generous when we lose. Very nice comments.
alki_in_korea Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 It is nice to hear good things said about our club rather than people just laughing at us. Lets hope we can have a thread like this bout brum fans after we beat brum on sat.
Son of Bob Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Wish we had time to be a little more generous when we lose. Very nice comments. We're not sitting comfortably in the top half of the table!!
trousers Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Interesting that they are praising our 'young team' when we now think we've got a better balance with the older players getting more of a look in. Different perspective I guess
St Landrew Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 We're not sitting comfortably in the top half of the table!! Yes, good point.
Junior Mullet Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 I like how they refer to Naarwich as the scum. I work in Pompey and have a colleague who supports Naarwich and one who supports Ipswich. There's plenty of scum taunts flying around here today!! I always felt we would never beat Ipswich with Burley in charge - his team and all that - glad to see that's all changed.
Patrick Bateman Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Should be a sticky Reading those comments, my laptop is sticky ... Fair play, great reading, sounds like we are playing with real confidence and skill and sounds like a very different team to the one a month ago ... excellent!
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Those comments are eerily familiar. They are exactly what we were saying a few months ago
eesti matty Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 I always felt we would never beat Ipswich with Burley in charge - his team and all that - glad to see that's all changed. Like we didn't beat them 1-0 in February 2007 when Saganowski scored?!!??
spyinthesky Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 The other interesting point about trawling the Ipswich fan sites,apart from the plaudits for the Saints, is the similarity of the criticisms of Manager/Board/Players that were being expressed by Saints fans until this recent upsurge in form. There doesnt seem to be the 'hatred' of the Chairman, at the moment, but that may come. Interestingly one poster queried the attendance. He felt it at least 4k short of the official 20,000. Seems this massaging of crowd figures happens elsewhere too. There are also dire warnings about the season ticket uptake next season at Ipswich. Meanwhile I bask in the glory of an unexpected run of wins and complimentary comments from opposing supporters. Fingers crossed for a repeat at St Andrews on Saturday and next week at St Marys What a shame the supporters views on the make up of the team were not taken into account earlier in the season!!
eelpie Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Should be a sticky Please no. Don't let us get complacent. We have an uphill battle only just started. And let's hope Sky keep away from our games too.
saint_ed Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Please no. Don't let us get complacent. We have an uphill battle only just started. And let's hope Sky keep away from our games too. Absolutely agree.
whizzpop Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Just the Wolves game on sky..we can count on that being 3 points lost.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Just the Wolves game on sky..we can count on that being 3 points lost. Although the law of probability would suggest that we must win(or not lose) one Sky game sometime soon.
Gingeletiss Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Should be a sticky Sticky!!..........those comments should be on 't' shirts and mugs;)...lol
yorkiesaint Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Interesting that they are praising our 'young team' when we now think we've got a better balance with the older players getting more of a look in. Different perspective I guess i thought the same. outsiders are still calling our new 'old' team young! says it all really.
Foxstone Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 I am pleased to not read those dreaded words from the Tractorboys site.. "Too good to go down".. Its all a great read and Its a fantastic start for Wotte but please god no complacency.

Danny R Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 What a nice bunch of fans they are. I don't know what it is about that part of the country but everytime I have met Ipswich/Naaarch fans, they have been great to talk to before/after the game.
ottery st mary Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Good praise for The mighty Saints..To be fair we are still a young side...To most of us anyway, our 30 year old players are still young.
ericofarabia Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Nice to hear all these nice things about our football from a team we've just beaten rather than the usual paudits from a team who've just stuffed us, but still thought we were the best team they've played this season
Frank's cousin Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 This cant be right, I thought we were the laughing stock of the football league.... ;-)
dubai_phil Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 I gotta cut back on the beer on a Tuesday night. All a bit odd getting home after a txt saying we'd won 3-0 and I thought I'd woken up sober, but can't be otherwise this would be a true thread and they really said those things about us!
Jonnyboy Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 To be fair those are exactly the comments we write when we get beat...
wightman35 Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 To be fair those are exactly the comments we write when we get beat... Then I hope we don't get ANY chances to write stuff like that;)
