Hard to know where to start with that, possibly the most frustrating derby ever

Firstly before I start ranting, Ipswich defended their box very well and we did not work their keeper enough. I think PC got the selection wrong and I still question our set piece coach given that our players are often nowhere near the ball when it comes in and seem to have no idea where it is being delivered to.

But all that said:

1. I can never recall a worse referee. Goals change games and his gift of that pen out of nothing enabled them to sit in and defend deep. He should be banned along with his useless linesmen. Them giving every single soft decision to the sun ruined the game.

2. Linked to the above Ipswich shoukd have had at least two red cards. I thought Hirsts tackle was verging on a straight red but the ref clearly bottled second yellows to Nunez and Davis. Not acceptable.

3. I’m not just saying it because urs them but again I really cannot recall a more odious bunch of classless, diving, whinging chavs than that Ipswich side. They are also bang average and will get stuffed every week next season in the prem.

Very frustrated.
