Funniest thing I ever heard was a matter of fact statement from my granddaughter when she was about 5. Guy on Alba alternating between English and gaelic. Was a championship game and it was HT, ....., granddaughter having her drink and toast before bed.
Guy was summarising the first half in English then skipped automatically to Gaelic .....
Grandaughter: “What’s wrong with the man, Papa?”

Definiteiy a “had to be there” moment but it was funny.

I shouldn’t knock Alba. Myself and the Mrs have some excellent laughs with some of things they say. The other night, a bagpipe concert was on, and when the camera went back to guy introducing the show, he ended his sentence with what sounded like “dumbfuck”!
Hoshimmy ya glashan, dumbfuck!
The wife was crying with laughter.
Hopefully no offended Gaelic people reading.

caption: Lambert explains why he made his recent bizarre comments about not being Town’s manager for much longer.
“ I was advised by my agent that I was wanted for a top managerial post. I thought great it is only fair that I give the Ipswich fans some indication I might not be here much longer. Then the dickhead told me they wanted me to become manager of Scotland”. Marcus where’s that new contract?

Decent line up, be good to see how Sears goes as a striker. Bishop in behind looks good.
Holy
Nsiala
Wilson
Woolfenden
Edwards
Skuse
Dozzell
Kenlock
Bishop
Keane
Sears

Now would be a great time to score because there is another upturn in possession with a couple more corners. Make it count lads.

So who cocked up for this then?
Hardly convincing are we . It’s s League two side fielding 10 changes FFS.
What is it about Town PLAYERS that they can’t “ show up”. ?

I thought our reserves would be hammering Exeter reserves. Instead we are 1 down.

Reads like Ipswich are doing all the right things but can't find the target with any of their 6 shots.

We've been absymal apart from when we hit the post, for 35 mins we created nothing, Nsiala and Edwards asleep at the back post for the goal. We have nothing up front
