I know we were shite on Tuesday, and didn't deserve to win, indeed nil nil 
would have been the fairest result, but we didn't get the rub of the green.

It most definitely was a penalty.  It looked like one from where I was in the 
kop, not very far away, in real time, and even more so when you see it on the 
telly.  The Ipswich player clipped Byram's heels, you can see his stride change 
when he did it, and looked round straight away, replete with a 'did he see me 
do it' expression, in the same way batsmen often do when they've nicked one 
behind.  A very poor decision by the ref.  And linesman, who was only a matter 
of metres away.

For their goal, the ball was pumped from left to right, Silvestri flapped and 
missed, but was followed up by one of ours (I can't remember who) who was 
pulled back by a mighty shirt tug as he tried to clear, so only managed to 
scoop it back to the left side of goal.  Def foul in the box.

If we'd got the pen, not conceded, and won the game, it would have only covered 
up what was a very poor performance - but we'd all prefer to be playing shit 
and winning than playing shit and drawing or losing.
