Not too much inferring or implying in evidence there!

Is that not where we started? (I don't mean in the Sir Bobby
Robson Stand at Portman Road 😉)

and a great result. I particularly remember how friendly the
Barnsley fans were and I have had a soft spot for the Club ever
since. A young friend decorated a T shirt for me to wear. A
white background on which was painted a lamb chop with the words
" Ipswich give Barnsley the Chop". Even after the match the
Barnsley fans were cordial despite their disappointment and a
couple of them asked if they could have their photo taken with
me wearing the shirt.

I remain convinced that Clive Thomas, surely one of the most
over-rated referees ever, cost us the match by chalking off two
good Ipswich goals. One was for offside where the Linesman, Bune
perhaps from memory, was in line with the last West Ham defender
and I was directly behind Bune. It wasn't offside, Bune kept his
flag down and Thomas, who was nowhere near in line, ruled out
the goal for offside. A poor decision from a much over-hyped
referee. A happier story three years later.

Yes, I do recall the excellent atmosphere engendered by the
conviviality and good behaviour of both sets of supporters. I
also recall Terry Heilbron making his final appearance of a very
decent refereeing career.
And another yes, I was at Stamford Bridge. In fact I had very
recently commented on that match in another thread referring to
poor semi-final decisions:

I was also at the first match at Villa Park for what my ticket
said was "West Ham United v Leeds United or Ipswich Town", the
quarter final having taken FOUR matches to resolve. Today's
pampered "superstars" seem to want to get rid of even the first
replay these days!

Although I am sure JCFC has never been fast asleep at Crewe but
aware and alert in a proper feline way.
