Title: Home v Ipswich Town 2001 question
Post by: Lucky Eddie on May 27, 2015, 07:46:10 PM: One of the kids has asked me about their first game; it was at home v Ipswich and I've always thought that Juan Pablo scored twice; we played them twice at home that year, March and December.

Could anyone confirm the scorers for those matches please?

Ask me what happened in the Burnley game last Sunday and I'll struggle, ask me about a game from 14 odd years ago and I'm razor sharp! :D

I remember both games well. The first me and my dad were so close to Gregory on the trinity touchline, that he responded to my dad's "Need to get some fight into them John", with "Fucking right and all".

The second, we were booed off at HT, even though we'd just equalised

This was around the time we were just about to snap up Angel as we were desperately short of firepower. The home match before I think was the game when Ehiogu scored for Boro in front of the North Stand. The second Ipswich game was on SKY, maybe a Monday night?

Yeah, Monday night. Awful performance that scrapped a win against Ipswich who were well bottom

Post by: Bad English on May 28, 2015, 12:04:43 PM: I don't think any thread which mentions Ipswich is complete without a thought for Alan Brazil and his side. They came so close to winning the league but, ultimately, failed.
