Memries of Ipswich

[Cerberus Blade]

Different type of cunt.

Ainsworth was a cunt for the tackle and his conduct afterwards, not apologising or seemingly giving a fuck about his career ending assault.

Taricco was different in that EVERY time we or anyone else played them, he was a cynical dirty, spitting, injury feigning cheating cunt who seemed more bothered about getting opposition players sent off than playing football.

He was more another Muscat for me - both made from the same twat mould.

Let's say it...he was a cheating Argentinian git. Of which there have been many. There was an interesting interview with Alex Sabella shortly after he joined United. Asked about the differences between English and Argentinian football he replied that one of the main differences is that in Argentina the objective of the game is to stop you at all costs. If that means, fouling and cheating, then so be it. He said the game is played more fairly and openly here.

I'm afraid that's part of the Argentinian culture and Taricco was just another product of it.

I was at that Ipswich game going round to the Lane end for the second half and so seeing all seven goals from close range. They had a
goalie called Laurie Sivell who was unusually short for a goalie and that could have helped us somewhat. Tony Field wasn't in the team then. He joined the club a few

Me too. I was on the kop for that game and Laurie Sivell was in their goal. Wiki has him down as being 5' 8" tall, but I recall him being much shorter than that, around 5' 5" or 5' 6" I'd say. Anyhow, I don't think it was his height that played a part in him conceding 7 goals that day. It was just that Ipswich were routed totally by the Blades on the day. Sivell was a decent goalkeeper to be fair.

He was also a film star! he played the German goalkeeper in the 1981 film, "Escape to Victory". He became a fishmonger when he packed in football.

Could be Forestieri you're talking about.

To be fair to Forestfairy - and I say this through very gritted teeth - aside from all the gamesmanship shite he is a half decent footballer with some skill.

Taricco and Muscat didn't even have that to fall back on.

Woodward 1-0



No photo of the 2nd goal which was a Woodward penalty, maybe the photographer went the wrong way like Laurie Sivell did?

Reece 3-0



Badger 4-0



Dearden 5-0



Woodward 6-0 and the best goal of the game (a left footed half volley from the left that flew over Sivell's despairing dive)



Woodward celebrating his hat-trick



Woodward 7-0

Ipswich memories for me are:

• Taricco is a bellend
• Some Ipswich fan muppets smashing the seats behind me on the South Stand when they scored against us when I was a kid, away fans on the SS was quite common then
• Am Ipswich nightclub that opened at 12 noon for Blades fans and stank from the night before still

Wow I was in that nightclub!!!
Wierd experience!!

Having had a quick look, the 3-1 home defeat that I appear to recall is where Michel Vonk was sent off. Tarrico was on the pitch – has to have surely been involved...

Chris Short was also sent off in an away game where Tarrico was on the pitch. Again, got to be involved, surely.

Thought I’d look a bit more into this. There is confirmation online that Taricco was involved in 3 of the 4 sendings-off. Has anyone got any recollection of the Vonk sending off in order to complete the set?

After a second equaliser by their substitute Andy Walker 13 minutes from the end of normal time, they did enough to frustrate an increasingly desperate home side, surviving the sending-off of Nick Henry 10 minutes from the end of extra time for a mad moment in which he kneed the grounded Mauricio Taricco. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.in...lker-takes-blades-to-wembley-1261670.html?amp

In a frenzied final 10 minutes United full back Chris Short was sent off for kicking Mauricio Taricco and Bobby Petta needlessly fouled Marcello inside the penalty area to hand the visitors a lifeline. http://prideofanglia.com/page.php?p...irst Team&day=24&month=1&year=1998&sequence=0

Also, has anyone got an image of Fjortoft gloating over a tearful Taricco after the final whistle in the playoff game?

Vonk was sent off for a professional foul, tripping up Jamie Scowcroft after another misunderstanding between Roger Nilsen and Alan Kelly

Ta, Silent. So Taricco must have been first to the ref demanding the red card be shown? That’s certainly how I’m going to choose to remember it anyway...
