The problem is they draw contact so not sure how many would be overturned

But make no mistake they are diving and its cheating. Even the one last night, that wouldn't be overturned by VAR but he absolutely plays for the penalty. You can see he looks around to make sure he makes contact with the defender before going down theatrically.

Someone put a compilation on twitter of some of their pens and I think at least 5 of the 10 they've had are pretty obvious dives. Its really disappointing that its being rewarded and also in crucial games that are shaping the promotion battle. I saw some footage earlier from their home game with Preston where Clarke dives for a late penalty and then even after that he tries to dive for another one which wasn't given.

They really are a pretty vile team of diving chavs with very few redeeming features. Objectively there is nothing remotely likeable about this current Ipswich team (I could grudgingly see there was a bit the neutral might admire the side they went up with before). They don't even play good football. Just cheat and sh*thouse their way to narrow wins. I appreciate we are biased but I don't think if I was one of their fans I would feel huge love for their current team or indeed be massively enjoying all of the diving.

And before anyone says it, I would also condemn Cordoba for the embarrassing way he flung himself on the floor against Derby. Thankfully with our players those incidents are pretty rare.
