Apparently we are a mediocre team who didn't deserve a win at all.... 

Oh and Garner didn't deserve to get sent off because Flint stamped on him and our whole team were unsporting and played the referee throughout the game.... 

Sour grapes I think

Remind you of anything?

Well Mick McCarthy chats a lot of sense IMO . And he said we deserved to win. That will do for me . But Ipswich fans on Twitter very very bitter. Taking the piss out of the away support. When they had an attendance of 15k . :blink: . Also we've been crying out for city to be a bit more nastier. Good

I like the last comment on their forum "You don't get anywhere in football being nice". We are a tough nut to crack and get stuck in but don't cross the line, add in pace, energy and skill and you have an effective combination that gets results. Just hope we don't burn out as the squad at the moment are high on confidence and go out expecting to win every game

One said that they need another physical option up front. Is that instead of the ex PNE battering ram or in addition to him?

Sometimes, Tractor fans, you just have to acknowledge that the other team was better than your's.

it's not always easy to understand what you are talking about, but I assume you are trying to say that many posters on this forum are also not magnanimous in defeat when we obviously deserve to lose, well I beg to differ I would say that the vast majority are extremely aware of when we are well beaten.

So ONE Ipswich fan is a bit of a knob. Plenty on there saying we look like a good side and better than them on the day.

A few of them saying "not at Fulham's level". 

Feeling fairly happy to go toe to toe with anyone right now. 

Except for Wolves away again.

The point EMB is that football fans have pretty much the same makeup regardless of which team they follow.

Well I don't agree, I feel like modern society there is a sense of entitlement from perceived bigger clubs and for all of the diverse opinions on OTIB, I really believe (the vast majority) can put our hands up when we are well and truly beaten.

We scored 3 against them on their own patch and I thought we were good for the point on the night and they were the ones who actually had to sneak a point in the end.

All true. But watching them play, I think we'd struggle to do that again.

Fordy they will bitch like **** to the referee, they will go down easily, they will roll around like they have been shot and hopefully a strong referee will stand up to them again. if Wolves decide to just play football they will win this league and so they should with the amount of money they have spent.

But they don't like it up em.

Great news. For years we've had powder puff players who have been unwilling to really get "stuck in" and show a bit of gamesmanship. So glad we got colossal players like Baker and Flint playing for our club. 

As for Ipswich, 15 years in the same division would drive anyone to go mentally insane. I feel for them.

I would be interested to know if Ipswich fans have seen a better team at Portman Road this season in the first half than us. Especially the first 20 minutes I thought we humiliated them, quite frankly.

For 90 minutes they had no passing game to speak of, were lucky to come in at HT 2-1 down, and will not be top 6 come the end of the season playing like that.

Our 2 poorest performances of the season Brum and Brentford were both rightly picked to pieces and we gained an unlikely point in one of them.

In every football club of whatever team there will be a huge diversity of fans. City, Ipswich and Watford are all the same as each other - the universal subconscious in other words.

Otib is no different to any of their fans forums. We are a hugely diverse bunch of individuals just as they all are. We see complaints about referees, moans about the manager and players. Whinges about having no luck......Premature assesments of new players....

We also get pragmatic views. Some of us know we were done by a better team and are content to say so - just like pretty much all fans forums.

Thats my point EMB.

You might remember the sentiment of this from that was the week that was, many years ago.

Manu "I look down on him because he is not in the premiership".

Ipswich "I look up to him because he is the premiership, but I look down on him because we used to be a big club with history and have won titles and cups and he has not"

Bristol City "I know my place".

I think you have to look at that game in isolation TBH. It was such a dire performance both sides deserved to lose. A winner would have been a travesty.

The best fans for getting on and just accepting it (and they too are a big club) this season were Derby. Mind you, we did pummel 'em a bit.

I read a lot of posts on their forum and they were really decent. Surprised me to be honest.

In 2017 we're back in the same division as Bolton and Derby County. The two teams that were relegated with us from the top flight in 1980. We've beaten both this season, finally we're back on the up!

I think our learnings from that game helped us to beat Bolton on Tuesday (as well as their red card ;)).

Good evening everyone

Polite Ipswich fan here based in the West Country just offering warm congratulations on a well-merited win today. I wasn't at the game but followed it (ahem) online and there was no disputing the outcome. There were a few outspoken comments on the Ipswich forum thread highlighted by the opening poster but they are not representative. Most of us know what we saw, a well-balanced team who got the better of us. The result reflected the balance of play.

I regularly post on the Ipswich forum (and was the person who compiled the match preview on our site from your comments on here) and I keep a friendly but objective eye on how you are progressing. You have unquestionably moved forward from last season with more strength in depth, a better balance in all departments and, crucially, a tenacity which was lacking last season. I daresay last season's team may have wobbled when we pulled a goal back but I knew we were still in trouble even at 2-1 down this time.

Most Ipswich fans would have bitten your arm off in August if you had offered us a mid-table finish and we are precisely this, better than the weaker teams but struggling against the stronger ones. As things stand, I reckon you have 'play-offs' written all over you all things being equal. You were able to ride today without two important players in Pisano and Pack while we struggled in midfield when Adeyemi pulled out at the last minute.

All good wishes for the rest of the season and I hope you avoid the injury plagues which can derail a campaign. It will be interesting to see where we are when the St Patrick's Day re-match comes around and I reckon you will still be there or thereabouts. It really is all about accumulating points and keeping in touch right now. Oh yes, and I'm also relieved that Luke Bloody Freeman wasn't around today to have his usual once-in-a-blue-moon brilliant game against us. Well done on a good win today and all the best over the winter.

Personally I always like to read , all opponents post match comments , as I see it as a really interesting / good guide as to the reality of how we played / look from a non City Fans perspective

Take away any bitter and twisted posts or extreme views and you tend to get a decent judgement from a third parts view (I regard a lot of (sensible) supporters views as more accurate than most media)

Take away the odd p'd off , or bitter Tractor Boy comment ,  I thought the below comments reinforced my belief , and what appears to be the general belief around , that we look to be on the verge of something really decent :fingerscrossed:

 

 

Yeah just that. If teams start quickly against us we really don't know what to do, because we are so slow out of the blocks. They were so busy all game, we looked shocked

 

They looked a really good side, got so many men forwards without getting caught out - striker an absolute beast.

 

IT struck me yesterday that City were the team Mick would like to have. Tight at the back and in midfield, with big men in defence and a big (expensive) beast up front, well organised and efficient

 

“... they did us up like a kipper. They outplayed us in the first 30-40minutes. And after the break they managed the game and snuffed us out. 

 

First 20 minutes they murdered us. 

 

Generally though, they did us up like a kipper. They outplayed us in the first 30-40minutes. And after the break they managed the game and snuffed us out

 

felt as though they did a bit of a job on us - especially in the second half when they really managed to shut the game down. 

 

I must say Bristol City are solid and strong and also gave flair in their side and to think some on here though they were weak and would probably be relegated quite the opposite in my eyes

 

Brizzle look a good side and certainly deserved the win

Add that to @Olé s comprehensive and glowing report , those comments read really nice

Yes, I see someone wrote  "...................this is what you expect DOWN in this division "

Says it all about former Prem fans, where as we would say....."UP in this division " !

Many fair comments I thought, and a general note of despondency about their own team's talents which explains some of the poorer remarks.

Credit to them for referring to us as “Bristol City” and not just “Bristol”, though odd reference to “Brizzle” which somehow doesn't seem so bad.

My Uncle's side of the family are all Ipswich and having received a phone call minutes after the 0-6, it was satisfying to finally return the favour ;)

This one stood out to me, with all the whining about the Ref this one I liked.

 

I've seen a lot of moaning about the ref, but in all honesty I don't think he got too much wrong. Lots of niggly 50/50s including Garner and half of them went against him - we shouldn't complain too much seeing as everyone on here acknowledges that Garner is a horrible niggling/cheating type of player who seems to go out of his way to push the rules. 

Specially the underlined bit
