Post Match Ipswich 1 Leicester 1

[Miles Away]

2 weeks in a row for them now too dropping points in the past minute - that's got to be massively deflating whoever it is against.

With players getting sent off in each.

No chance he gets the sack. They were in League one two seasons ago. It's just a step too far for the squad.

They dropped a massive bollack making him the 4th best paid manager in the Prem though. Bit like we did with Brendan to fend off Arsenal interest, that will come back to haunt them especially if they get relegated even if hes a good shout to get them back up again.

Although I agree with a lot of what you say here this is totally wrong. Look at post no. 32, I think their keeper was a lot busier than Mads.

We had 7 shots on target. Of those, one went in and one (Ayew) should have. Almost everything else was just a lot shot from distance. We looked devoid of ideas until they went to 10 men, then we could break them down easier.

What's a lot shot?

There's no way they should sack him, because they're going to struggle to do better and he'd be their best chance of coming back up.

But, if they keep him and they do go down, chances are he'd be off to the next Premier League job he gets offered.

In which case, they'd have done a good job getting him on that big contract to get a bigger buy out for him.

I'm sure that there are all sorts of clauses in his contract. Either way, I really don;t see him being at Ipswich next season - but that won't be because he gets sacked. Heh, maybe the Cooper out crowd should get behind him

 

[SilverFox]

What's a lot shot?

Steve Cooper winning manager of the year?

Should Lisandro Martínez have been sent off for challenge on Cole Palmer?

Ipswich 1-1 Leicester​

Possible penalty: Issahaku challenge on Chaplin​

What happened: Ipswich Town had a free kick in the 77th minute. After a melee inside the area the ball fell to Conor Chaplin. Fatawu Issahaku came running out and collided with the Ipswich player, who went to ground. Referee Tim Robinson allowed play to continue, which resulted in Kalvin Phillips fouling Ricardo Pereira and picking up his second yellow card. The VAR, Stuart Attwell, checked for a possible penalty.

VAR decision: No penalty.

Should Fatawu Issahaku have given away a penalty for pushing over Conor Chaplin?
VAR review: Ipswich have endured a baptism of fire to life with VAR. Mark Ashton, the club's chairman and CEO, pulled no punches in an interview on Friday, saying "we will not go quietly into the night," and that "[PGMOL chief refereeing officer] Howard [Webb] is going to see my number flashing up a hell of a lot more." And those comments came before Saturday's events.

All clubs will, naturally, feel they should be getting more decisions than they do. Perhaps for Ipswich -- the only club in the division who hadn't experienced VAR before -- expectation levels needed to be lowered and they need to realise that subjective interventions don't happen all that often.

No club can ever get every decision they want -- because most calls sit in the subjective grey area where either decision is acceptable; there's no definitive right call.

Ipswich sit at the bottom of the VAR overturns table this season, with three going against them and not one in their favour. But while Ipswich may feel aggrieved, the KMI Panel has judged that all three decisions were correct, and there hasn't been a missed VAR intervention which should have gone their way.

Many are going to disagree, but while the challenge on Issahaku could be a penalty on the field, it probably doesn't meet the Premier League's high bar for an intervention.

Against Man City at the start of the season, Ipswich were denied a penalty and the KMI Panel ruled that while it should have been awarded by the referee, the VAR was right not to get involved -- it would be no surprise if the same decision was reached on this too. It leaves Ipswich with grounds for complaint with refereeing, but also frustration with VAR process.

If the penalty had been awarded through VAR then Phillips' second yellow card would have stood. The only cards that are rescinded are those directly resulted to the play, such as through DOGSO (Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity), and not those issued for other disciplinary matters.

Verdict: As referee Robinson saw the incident and described it as a collision between the players, it goes down as referee's call.

Watching MOTD, the noise from our away fans when that equaliser goes in is incredible. If it was audio only, you could be forgiven for thinking that was an Ipswich goal!

Great to read. I’m much happier with VAR this season on the whole, as it has lifted the bar significantly as to when it intervenes.

I wouldn’t have complained if it was given against Fatawu, but it’s definitely not a black or white decision, hence why it was left alone and left to the referees call.

2 things from this mornings ref watch
1) Dermot didn’t think it was a penalty
2) Dermot also said that the semi auto VAR has been put back again!
