Great goal. Any mention of Maidstone United still sends shivers down the spine though :hehe:Quote:

What a weird day that was. I'm over it now though.Quote:

I'm assuming I'm watching the same coverage as you, who's the ex-Ipswich player doing the co-commentary?
Wow!. I'll gladly eat my words.
Well done Maidstone. Ipswich were bloody awful. Special mention for omari Hutchinson, who put in one of the most useless, turgid performances I've ever seen, truly abysmal player. Evidently he's on loan from Chelsea, they really will buy any old pile of w@nk nowadays. Contrast that with the Maidstone striker, fast, direct and with the quality to pull off a cracking finish and a good assist !
Spent the last twenty minutes thinking there’s no way they can hold out, but they did - their players must be absolutely shattered, but they won’t be feeling it at the moment.
FT: Ipswich 1 - 2 Maidstone
Fantastic

That was a compelling watch despite my memories of THAT game. I lament the appalling disconnect our club finds itself in with cup competitions.
Match stats are why the cup is magic

I think there were also well over 500 passes for Ipswich against around 80 for Maidstone......Quote:

And, coincidentally, that season, Ipswich won the Cup, 1978. Wrexham knocked Blyth out in front of 42,000 at St James Park, a crowd that wasn’t bettered there for 22 years. Newcastle United invited the Blyth team to St James Park at their home game prior to the Wrexham game. Of course that league game was against Ipswich.Quote:
