Pre-Match View From Ipswich

[BigBed]

Another pedantic twat here...

It's not a proper city, because it's a town.

Thanks

It's not a town, it's a shit hole.

Thanks.

Sheff Utd became Norwich of the North after our 3-2 win with 10 men back in 2003”

I was there for that one, 2 0 up against 10 men and lost 3 2, and then that drive home, fuckin grim.

Article on the Star website this afternoon saying that Barnsley top the arrests’ list in South Yorks so far this season (Blades second).

Part of me thinks they’re only top due to being easier to pick out in a crowd. The police only need to spot anyone with 6 fingers, and/or who resembles Sloth from the Goonies.

Strangely, we were talking about this just last Sunday. Some of my friends are younger than me (who isn't?) and they could hardly believe it when I told them about the bloke who used to put the scores up on the pavilion. Can't remember the Ipswich game (I was there, but doubt if they would put the scores up for the game we were watching?), but I remember once the pigs were at Middlesborough and it was 6-0 into the second half. When the 'scorer' bloke re-appeared, a mighty roar went up. It was 8-0, but he didn't have an '8' so picked up a '2' and held it next to the '6' and gestured that we should add the two scores together. Simple times.

April 1974 after we drew 1-1 to QPR. I was one of the many in the BLUT who didnt want to go home until we found out the final score at Ayresome Park!

 

[Pinchy]

I was there at the 7-0 thrashing they refer to, what a great day that was

So was I. I was also one of maybe 150 Blades at Palace seven days later when we were trounced 5-1. That’s football...

Before that 5-1 defeat at Palace my dad spotted Tony Mercer sitting near us. I had no idea who he was and my dad asked me to get Tony's autograph so I went over to get it. Tony was pleasant and it was the first time I had met a Blade who is a celebrity I think his uncle was David Mercer who played for us in the 1925 FA Cup final

Yes me too - didnt Tony Field score a wonder goal ? and didnt Woody Score 4 ?

Go SUFC and hope the nutters dont turn up UTB

An attempt at peace-making. I think everyone who posts on here disapproves of recent acts of violence from a tiny minority of Blades hangers-on. I think we also all accept that there has been distortion and exaggeration of the violence involved (compare the story of the young child thrown out of the Grenfell Tower and caught by a man below - it never happened).
Can we all accept those 2 points, so that when someone condemns the violence, the replies are not 'But what about the exaggeration?', and when someone condemns the mis-reporting, the reply isn't 'But we must condemn the violence.' There is plenty to discuss around these 2 issues, but too often it becomes a dialogue of the deaf.

Well I'm certainly going down on one knee if they play the US anthem before the match tomorrow.

 

[metalblade]

Here we go again worst fans in the Championship blah blah, just like when a certain paper reported Cleveland police were looking for 17 United fans, turned out 10 of the pictures were of Boro fans.

 

[super_pig]

Define storming...

2 divisions of Panzer.. mainly Tigers.. classic 88 barrage to start. supported by das Reich??

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Yes me too - didnt Tony Field score a wonder goal ? and didnt Woody Score 4 ?

Woody did score 4. I'm sure Silent Blade will be along to confirm, but pretty sure the Tony Field wonder goal came a few years later in a 3-1 win against the Tractors.

 

[Bartleby]

Yes me too - didnt Tony Field score a wonder goal ?

No, it was Len Badger

 

[Carlton Blade]

I hate Ipswich, Steve Sedgely and Mauricio Taricco

Correct

Love you....errm i mean thanks Roy

 

[Bladesman]

They forgot some Blades fans took on Middlesborough and England fans last week.

A punch to the kidneys for everyone!

 

[finlaytheblade]

I was there at the 7-0 thrashing they refer to, what a great day that was

That was an amazing game Badger scored a rare goal from distance and Woody just couldn't stop scoring.Ipswich had a fair amount of the ball and to lose 7-0 was not a fair reflection of the game .
Bobby Robson was there manager and Ipswich were a good team in those days.

Cheers Roy, appreciated as always mate

Got to take my hat off for this - has to be the most comprehensive and fair opposition pre-match appraisal I can remember reading. https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town...r-in-this-league-–-notes-for-sheffield-united

Hope we give them another reason to dislike us by 5pm tomorrow. UTB

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I quite enjoy everyone thinking we're a right bunch of bastards. It's amusing because we know it's bollocks. Of course there's the odd knobhead, but find me a club that doesn't have 'em?

Yarbles to Ipshit and their donkey fondling beige fans.

Yarbles, nice to see someone else use it.

Hears to thee and thine.

Wow. That would have taken a while to compile. Very detailed. Cheers for the link, Paulus.

Mauricio Tarrico - the Gareth Ainsworth of East Anglia.

Never forgive, never forget.

Yes...absolutely a cheating cunt. I remember he got a player sent off by his antics in a play off at their place...and i think it was Kelly in goal and he got badly injured but we had no subs left. I remember it was frantic and being a Spanish speaker i was shouting all sorts of abuse at in e.g. your mother is a whore....and worse. He got really upset...good ! Fucking cheat.
Think we drew...enough to go through. UTB

Pretty sure an old Ipswich away programme had a "I hate Sheffield United and Sheffield United hate me" quote in it from him. He was right

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

(Pedantry alert) Should be 'muchOs cojones'. Cojones is definitely not a feminine word. Might have been a good way of insulting Tarrico, mind.

Used to spend a bit of time in Ipswich years ago and there does appear to be a higher proportion of odd balls compared to most places.

They also seem to think we're all nutters. Remember one Saturday night out down there and me and a couple of mates are queuing for food. One was singing United songs and this group of local lads asked if we were Man U.

When we said no Sheff U they legged it looking worried

As if that made us more intimidating which we certainly didn't look.

Don't go shouting 'Hijo de puta' today if you are anywhere near the directors' box; we wouldn't want to offend our East Anglian guests, would we?
