Guest Mee-9 Posted 18 December 2010 Share Posted 18 December 2010 Ipswich Town fans are saying today's game is the biggest in Roy Keanes life. (Strange I know) Some ITFC fans are also saying this will be bigger than the Champions league finals Keanes played in.But they expect him to be sacked if theres a poor result today. On the other hand, We hammered a Mid-table, half decent Doncaster side last week at home. Although it took a 'soft' penalty to start us off, we looked class in the second half. Lets hope we can start the game off well. We will be high on confidence. But we know how football works, it's not always that simple. I'll say a 2-0 win today, Goals coming from Vassell (If hes fit) and Cunningham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman of the Bored Posted 18 December 2010 Share Posted 18 December 2010 Keane always does well against us. I fear the worst if we go behind early on. It's stating the bleeding obvious, but we need to get a good tempo from the outset and score first. After watching England collapse in Perth, I'm not optimistic - I just think it's going to be one of those days. Draw or Ipswich win is the best I can foresee. Hope I'm wrong. Cup half empty day, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'm feeling the same after listening to the collapse this morning, but you got to remember the ITFC fans will be feeling worse because they don't have a great 5-1 win to look back on for a pick me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerlcfc91 Posted 18 December 2010 Share Posted 18 December 2010 Surely if they keep the pitch covered during the forecast snow fall it should be alright. Massive incentive for all concerned to get this game on as it's on SKY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't understand why Stringer was getting our hopes up by looking at the weather when the damage has already been done. That if a frozen pitch was the problem then it would have been pulled up at the inspection they've just had and not at the next one two hours later. Therefore, the -10deg didn't cause damage to the playing surface and the match will only be called off in the event of excessive snowfall covering the surface or rendering visibility reduced.

Massive incentive for all concerned to get this game on as it's on SKY! They can't cover all the areas surrounding the ground though, can they? Temperatures around here got down to below -10 last night. It's ice that's likely to get this game called off. Add to that more snow and temperatures that are going to stay well below freezing.... Whichever way, Ipswich need to get a move on with making a decision. Leaving it until 2pm will be far too late for many heading down from Leicestershire.
