Birmingham v Ipswich

[Vegas Claret]

kicks off at 8pm your time in the best league in the world.

Hoping Ipswich smash Birmingham

[morninbob]

Ipswich first 11 looks really good.

[CoolClaret]

Hoping Ipswich smash Birmingham

Just said the same.

Hoping it's a 5-0er, thanks for coming.

[LeadBelly]

My bookies has Brum as slight favourites but I fancy Tractor Boys to edge this, looking forward to watching it.

[ksrclaret]

Absolutely right Vegas, best league in the world for me too.

Looking forward to this one.

[CoolClaret]

My bookies has Brum as slight favourites but I fancy Tractor Boys to edge this, looking forward to watching it.

Surprised by that.

As morninbob said, the Ipswich 11 looks to be strong for the Champ.

[Deathtrip]

I Hope Birmingham smash Ipswich

[RVclaret]

Andrew Kitchen gets the big opener. Wonder if they’ll move him up the Prem this season. They seem to like him.

[Buxtonclaret]

Blimey.
Not used to seeing Brum playing in front of a big crowd.

[dougcollins]

Neither are they, just wait 'til they go behind.

[agreenwood]

Wonder if O’Shea will score in a big win and then storm into the Chief Operating Office a few days later and demand a move.

[agreenwood]

He’s started this game as badly as he reffed all the games he did of ours last season.

[Buxtonclaret]

They should be 1 up, Doug.
Nowt wrong with that 'goal'.

[ClaretTony]

Andrew Kitchen gets the big opener. Wonder if they’ll move him up the Prem this season. They seem to like him.

He’s stood out more than anyone else in the opening ten minutes.

On his performance so far not a chance

[Conroysleftfoot]

Wonder if O’Shea will score in a big win and then storm into the Chief Operating Office a few days later and demand a move.

I think they've made him captain in the hope they can avoid that.

[billyhamilton82]

Ipswich line up looks light on goals unless Smozdics and Clarke can start firing again.

[ClaretTony]

Not often you hear a commentary team criticising a referee like this

[agreenwood]

I think they've made him captain in the hope they can avoid that.

I wonder what some of our players who were around 12 months ago think about him being made captain at another club.

[dougcollins]

Kitchen will go far, he's giving Premier League free kicks.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Not often you hear a commentary team criticising a referee like this

Not surprised he's appalling.

[IPAclaret]

I didn't realise Birmingham had kyogo up front, I really rate him, a very tricky, intelligent footballer and good finisher.

[agreenwood]

Not often you hear a commentary team criticising a referee like this

They’ve been spot on so far. Ive still not got over his performances in the Lancashire derbies he took charge of last season.

The big games always look too much for him and tonight is no different so far.

[ClaretTony]

The good news is that Kitchen isn’t refereeing our game tomorrow; the bad news is, Pawson is.

[Deathtrip]

Smozdics reminds me of Craig Bellamy an annoying little prlck.

[Hedontplayforyou]

I see the referee is still shocking

[dougcollins]

The good news is that Kitchen isn’t refereeing our game tomorrow; the bad news is, Pawson is.

I forgot about him.

In fact, that's reminded me of a few others..

[billyhamilton82]

Smozdics reminds me of Craig Bellamy an annoying little prlck.

The difference is Bellamy was a quality annoying little prick

[Deathtrip]

The difference is Bellamy was a quality annoying little prick

[dougcollins]

Smozdics reminds me of Craig Bellamy an annoying little prlck.

Great when he was our annoying little prick though.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Oh my God Kitchen has lost control already

[Woodleyclaret]

A scrappy game both teams miles away from our levels of last season.

[CoolClaret]

A scrappy game both teams miles away from our levels of last season.

I agree; Brum would have been chasing shadows trying to get the ball off us, yet they're causing Ipswich problems.

[Tricky Trevor]

Well we are all in total agreement on Kitchens performance but for all we know he could be under instruction and it will be like this all season.

[warksclaret]

Somewhat pleased we are not in this league

[Vegas Claret]

You can tell Smzodics and Clarke haven't played much football, Ipswich look very rusty

[dougcollins]

Somewhat pleased we are not in this league

I'm not sure you're gonna be more impressed with the officiating we'll experience?

[Conroy92]

Stansfield looks a decent player

[Foshiznik]

Stansfield looks a decent player

Apart from when it comes to shooting

[Foshiznik]

A lot of Championship quality in the Ipswich team but not a lot of Premier League quality.

[Vegas Claret]

is it me or are Birmingham's floodlights absolute turd ? dark in some areas, light in others

[Vegas Claret]

1-0 Birmingham, can't argue tbh. Ipswich have been woeful

[ElectroClaret]

1-0 Brum.

[Foshiznik]

Kyogo unlucky not to score himself and has been impressive.

Stansfield with the rebound.
Brum 1-0

[Conroy92]

Apart from when it comes to shooting

Ahem...

[Burnleyareback2]

I’m on episode 2 of this Birmingham thing- I didn’t think anything could make me want Wrexham to succeed.

I was wrong.

[agreenwood]

I note Muric isn’t even on the bench. Is he injured or completely out in the cold?

[Foshiznik]

Brum really disrupting Ipswich flow with all these niggly fouls.

[agreenwood]

Brum really disrupting Ipswich flow with all these niggly fouls.

Just wait till Ipswich play Eustace’s Derby County.

[Burnleyareback2]

Can anyone post a rumor that we are making a £5m offer for Stansfield- just to pi** this buffoon of an owner off for a few days?
