RIP Frank. A great player, who without the injuries would have been a top half of the top division player. |

I don't know if it's true, but I think I read somewhere that he's part of the syndicate that is taking over Torquay, or trying to. |

Paul Goddard is my obvious one, but selling Alan Glover to West Bromich for £70,000 & Clive Clarke in 1969 has always rankled with me. Mind you, if it was a case of retaining Francis or Glover, I would sugest the club got it right! |

I'm with you W7. IMO Chris Woods was the main reason we didn't win promotion in the 79/80 season. |

We needed the transfer fee! It had nothing to do with his father& he still walks around Loftus Road applauding us every time he plays here. [Post edited 10 May 15:38]

From memory I had £5 at 40/1, a huge bet for then. It may be that I'm guilty of having exagerated the odds over the years though! Perhaps the size of the bet as well! [Post edited 10 May 10:29]

Probably the wrong place to post this, but the club have announced that Aaron Drewe is leaving. No surprise there! Good luck Aaron. |

I'm going for the Russell Martin Challenge Cup Final. Southampton against Norwich. I know he comes across as arrogant as a manager, but he was the one player at Norwich that I didn't mind! |

Sorry Hants. My original post is now edited! It was the 79/80 season Allen & Goddard scored 44 goals between them. I was only a decade out! |

Both times Hants! It takes somebody special to stop Harold being, in my view, our most despicable manager! The last game of the 78/79 season will always remain with me. I was in the School End with my wife (Ipswich supporter) & iother Ipswich fans that i drank with before Ipswich home midweek games. I could just about handle relegation. I could just about handle being thrashed by Ipswich. What I STILL struggle with is the sympathy they all had for me when Docherty's appointment was announced! |

Thanks Clive. I think you covered everything about this season, our manager & the clubs attitude (especially about end of season "dead rubbers") perfectly. The comparison with the 06/07 season once again comes to the fore, but I'm sure we are in a far better place now than we were then. I'm too bloody old to be getting excited about our future. But I am! |

What! Again? They've had two in my lifetime! Not as many as Brighton though. |

More to the point is to ask why Paal & Colback were static & allowing Allen six yards of free space. He was also very brave and decisive when he picked up his inhury. |

He has been going off in recent matches. I suspect he has a niggle which wasn't worth risking. |
| Forum Reply | Joe Walsh at 14:31 4 May 2024
He played very well apart from his distribution. I thought Dixon-Bonner was quite good as well. |

I could understand the sale of Clive Allen as the offer was too good to turn down. What STILL upsets me is then selling Paul Goddard! Both started the 79/80 season as teenagers & scored 44 league goals between them! I knew a few Rangers fans who vowed never to go again after selling Rodney, but the truth was that he had stopped performing for us & we were unbeaten for the rest of the season. Bowles, Givens & Thomas replacing him was a masterstroke! Venables falling out with Gregory & going to Barcelona is probably the worst moments in our history that I can recall. Appointing Docherty (twice), Redknapp & Mullery (in that order) are the closest I can come to. I should know a lot better, but I share your enthusiasm for Marti! [Post edited 6 May 16:58]

On the one hand I remember how bad we've been in many last games of the season & that we won't turn up. On the other hand I've stated a few times that this season has reminded me of the 06/07 season. That year we won at home to Preston, away at Leicester & Coventry. Can we do that again? |
