First topic message reminder :

Read an awful article on top 50 managers under 50. Katanga higher than Howe and Dyche, to name just two.

I'd rather Ipswich went up than Middlesbrough tbh - horribly cynical side

by Fernando Fri May 08, 2015 8:35 pm

HT 1-0 Boro

by dyrewolfe Fri May 08, 2015 8:37 pm

C'MON BORO! Yahoo

Lovely goal from "Jelly". Should have actually had two...

Thats very harsh! We're not known for fouling / playing dirty. We've been a bit more aggressive than usual...but I've seen far worse from other teams.

Adomah certainly didn't deserve his booking either. Anyhow we're going to have to be a lot more careful 2nd half if we're going to finish with 11 players.

What a freakin game of football this is

by dyrewolfe Fri May 08, 2015 9:17 pm

Who the heck is Button?

Agree its turned into a cracking game...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri May 08, 2015 9:30 pm

That should be a red card

So we judge reckless late lunges by how many studs they implant into the opponents leg then?

Oh hush! We could have had 3 in the first half alone... Wink

by dyrewolfe Fri May 08, 2015 9:45 pm

Well, barring any screw-ups in the return leg, its looking like Boro versus either Norwich or Ipswich in the final.

If its any consolation for Olly, I don't fancy us to beat either of them.

by NickisBHAFC Fri May 08, 2015 9:50 pm

Good stuff Boro.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri May 08, 2015 10:28 pm

I'm weirdly calm - maybe it's because my cricket game is in the middle of nowhere meaning I'll get to see none of the game

Probably because it's going to 1-0/1-1/0-1 and all fall on the second leg

by Josiah Maiestas Fri May 08, 2015 10:58 pm

Can see Norwich scoring a few Ipswich haven't had a clean sheet since March. Berra in defence Doh

by Fernando Sat May 09, 2015 10:40 am

Unsurprisingly Lee Clark has quit Blackpool

#JokeClub

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 09, 2015 10:50 am

He's a joke manager too tbf

by Fernando Sat May 09, 2015 10:56 am

Would you put up with things at Blackpool right now?

Probably better off in unemployment Laugh

Let's face it people will probably be impressed just for his willingness to work through the crap there.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 09, 2015 10:59 am

No I wouldn't but he took the job knowing that was the case anyways!

Add in the fact he's a god awful manager and a complete bell he ain't really got a lot going for him

by Fernando Sat May 09, 2015 11:04 am

He is the championship version of Brendan Rodgers - Coasting on the back of a top forward except it was Jordan Rhodes & not Luis Suarez

by FootballLight Sat May 09, 2015 12:00 pm

Got to remember, who would want to take the hot seat at Blackpool? As somebody rightly pointed out, surely he should get credit for even going near that club with the rut they have been under throughout all of the season, on and off the field. Good luck to the next Tangerine's manager though I guess.

I'll miss the little day out at the Seaside however. Sad

We gifted Brentford their goal, they were lucky to come off at halftime only 1-0 down,you say we're a cynical team, we'll keep quiet about Hoolahan's Tom Daly impression down at your place a couple of weeks ago and Jerome hitting the deck without been touched.

by Fernando Sat May 09, 2015 12:44 pm

Luke Varney going off, Having a leg brace put on doesn't look good.

by NickisBHAFC Sat May 09, 2015 12:52 pm

When I went to blackpool away,there fans didn't seem to like him. He's a Karl Oyston guy apparently.

Any manager to take over at blackpool has to be a yes man.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 09, 2015 12:55 pm

Gwan Freddie

1-0 Nodge - Howson

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 09, 2015 1:04 pm

The Championship's Ben Foster with a lovely bit of handling

by Fernando Sat May 09, 2015 1:04 pm

1-1 - Anderson

by dyrewolfe Sat May 09, 2015 2:07 pm

Really don't know who I'd want us to face.

Reckon Norwich are the better team, but Ipswich have a bit of a hoodoo over us, historically.

Old Farm derby living up to expectations then? Wink

by Nico the gman Sat May 09, 2015 5:33 pm

30000 plus at the Riverside next Friday it will be an inferno, Brentford are a decent side but I will be shocked if they beat us.

All to play for in the Ipswich Norwich 2nd leg, think Norwich will edge it though, better players, but Murphy is always a threat.

by NickisBHAFC Sat May 09, 2015 7:18 pm

All the pressure on Norwich in the 2nd leg.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat May 09, 2015 7:21 pm

I think they'll be happy.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 09, 2015 8:03 pm

Haven't seen the game or goals yet but if you'd offered me 1-1 at midday I'd have snapped your hand off

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun May 10, 2015 12:00 am

Yep draw the fair result it seemed - hope we start hoolahan at home think we missed his creativity.

We miss grabban greatly - his movement and ability to bring others into play is something Jerome just doesn't offer.

by Nico the gman Mon May 11, 2015 9:35 pm

Dave Button the Brentford keeper wasn't happy the way our fans, dugout and players celebrated after scoring the injury time winner, like we'd already won the tie.

I'm sure if Brentford had hit the winner in the last minute theirs would have been a muted celebration.

One thing has become abundantly clear during the build up to these ties, Warburton and his players can't keep their mouth shut, and have shown a total lack of respect towards our team.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu May 14, 2015 6:41 pm

Putting 50 quid on Ipswich to qualify to help heal the pain of Saturday Sad

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu May 14, 2015 7:47 pm

The prices for final tickets are freaking outrageous

by westisbest Thu May 14, 2015 7:50 pm

How many tickets does each team for the final usually get?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu May 14, 2015 8:27 pm

westisbest wrote:How many tickets does each team for the final usually get?

Think around 38-40,000

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu May 14, 2015 8:43 pm

More than the FA Cup I think

by Nico the gman Thu May 14, 2015 9:17 pm

Derby got 37249 tickets last year according to our local rag, strange number mind.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu May 14, 2015 10:44 pm

Category 1 tickets (behind the goal lower tier) £98

Ridiculous

I'm inclined to go with "disgusting" myself, considering they'll likely fill Wembley (or at least not far off).

Just got this from the East Anglian Daily Times (seems Ipswich have been provisionally allocated 38,888 seats if they reach the final):

Ticket Prices

Adult [Concession]

Cat 1 £98.00 [£49.00]

Cat 2 £76.00 [£38.00]

Cat 3 £64.00 [£32.00]

Cat 4 £52.00 [£26.00]

Cat 5 £36.00 [£18.00]

Booking Fees

There will be a fee of £1.50 per match ticket and fees for delivery per booking of £7.50 (Royal Mail Special Guaranteed Next Day Delivery).

So even the cheapest ticket will cost a total of £45!
