why were they banned?

Think they’ve been a bit lively in the past and been shut out as a result.

East Anglian derby day has arrived, and everything points towards that lot down the (40 mile) road getting their first derby win in 14 years. Never have I wanted to watch a Norwich game less…

I was at the Eintracht game on Thursday night. UEFA banned them after they’d bought their flights and accommodation. There was thousands of them in the city and I was chatting to a few outside the game who had tickets but were turned away. The police were checking everyone’s accents and they hadn’t quite mastered the doric lingo. Guys I spoke to seemed sound enough but thev have a bit of a reputation for playing up in Europe.

They kicked off in Naples in March. Torched a police car and other such japes.

I’m still disappointed that when in Prague none of he sport shops had a Dukla Prague away ( or home ) kit for sale

Well I’ll take that! Great result considering how poor we’ve been all season, particularly defensively, and how good Ipswich have been in all areas. Bless them, they’ll get their win one day…

I’m on the lookout for a proper transformer

Decent result that as it was for Cov at Leeds too. Yours sounded like a good game. Best of luck for the season.

Yep, a decent result for you as well, and best of luck to you too. Have always felt Coventry are a similar club to us in many ways. What’s the consensus on Robins around your way? Really hoped we’d try get him in when we parted ways with Dean Smith.

Wasnt a bad game

Yep feel the same about Norwich, similar clubs in many ways. Robins is held in very high regard by the overwhelming majority of us. It’s been said many times but the the hurdles he’s overcome together with his assistant Adi Viveash to not only stabilise the club but move them forward has been immense. He’s been with us (for the second time) since 2017 just prior to our relegation to League 2/Division 4.

There were a few grumbles at the start of the season (the standard why the fuck aren’t we winning every game/it’s about time he left) from some clueless fans on forums etc, classic modern day attitude. The hangover of not going up and losing Gyokores and Hamer had an impact.

I’m surprised, and pleased that no one has really tried to make a move for him in a serious way. Perhaps if he wore suits or a nice gilet that’d get him on the radar. Stay in the tracksuit MR!

I used to go loads and am only 20 odd miles from Leeds but not so much nowadays with family commitments and ££££, Leeds were charging 45 quid a ticket yesterday. Unbelievable.

Do you get to Carrow Road much still?

Losing Hamer and Gyokores was definitely a big blow for you, two of the best players I saw in the Championship last season. Hope MR can get you firing again and moving up the table.

I get down to the Carra fairly often, although no longer have a season ticket - I gave it up after last season due to other commitments and a need to save money. The dire football that I had to endure for most of last season made it an easier decision. Luckily my old man has one still and can’t make it a lot of the time, so I get to use his ticket.

Blimey! I thought he’d be a bit old for the top flight & all those late Hacienda nights would have stopped him training
