Guru, the football stuff is fine, I was really talking about the disparaging remarks about the county etc. That's the sort of thing I would expect from people who have no idea what the area is like. It's just so boring and predictable, that's all I meant. It spoils what could be cracking banter, in my opinion. Personally, I don't like to rub in the diference in our respective clubs at present, as I said, these things can quickly change. I can't stop others doing it though, it's just my opinion. Oh, and warky, I think you're wrong about any possible obituaries, I really do. Yours and the others respectful comments regarding John Bond were welcome, as is the football banter.
The majority of us would, yes JWM. I say the majority, because sadly there would be a few, as I'm sure there are with your cluband other clubs, that would be bitter enough not to acknowledge what somebody had achieved, especially someobdy who had a 'special' place with any club.
Gandy there are plenty of Budgies who take great delight in rubbishing Suffolk and Ipswich in particular! I have even read petty comments about how some of you budgies actually spit out of their car windows when they pass through the Suffolk border! How pathetic and puerille is that?
3 ...in the premier league He shoots, he scores! anyway, I specifically said on the John Bond board when QPR fans started being a bit disrespectful that Norwich fans would be respectful if it were the other way round with Ipswich. Norwich have been very respectful e.g. when Bobby Robson died But I still don't like Ipswich lol, it's very focused, controlled hatred. It's a rivalry (well, your trying, bless you) that echoes through the years and will outlive us all and it's a geographically beautiful thing. I love it. And for the record I chant "scum,scum,scum" when I enter suffolk (giggidy) no spitting involved.
You will only be considered a rival when you have actually won major trophies and have achieved as much as we have! John Bond may have been a legend for you but he never won **** all did he? As we both know you will never achieve as much as we have so long as you've got a hole in your arse!
It's not good is it? I wouldn't condone that for a moment, but I would expect someone charged with moderating this board to be above it.
I take exception to that Warky, yes I would post respectful comments to one of your greats, not only for 1p5wich but also for his country. Of course I dislike your club as you dislike mine, but come on that's surely just healthy rivalry and banter ? Shankly once said that "football was more important than life or death", frankly (with the greatest respect), the man was talking out of his arse
JWM was very dignified and respectful with his John Bond comments. I was disappointed by the lack of communication from other senior Ipswich 606ers.
