But tonight is just too funny for words, reading his posts and his utter meltdown as Ipswich choked. Commiserations to the decent Ipswich fans on here who have congratulated Sheffield and taken it in the chin. It’s painful but you get over it. As for Gavan, he is now spewing crap about grown Sheffield fans shouting abuse in little 9 year old girls faces. Let’s be honest. It didn’t happen. It’s a figment of Gavans inferior brain. Are you feeling disappointed Gavan? Does it hurt to witness your team croak like that? Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind. Erm as they say up here that’s the pot calling the kettle grimy arse!

I just hope Bert Bert had a smile on his face! let’s face it a few weeks ago we all expected BV to be in the finals and the Witches were out of it! regardless of all the rules / shizzle bad news on closures etc I have enjoyed my matches this season and hope we can have a decent 2024.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 5, 2023 It was an entertaining meeting tonight. I was watching as a complete neutral and didn’t care who won it to be honest. I like Holder and King, on opposite sides, plus wanted young Thompson to come through unscathed for. More important couple of meetings next week for him. But I had no preference. That was until quite a few Ipswich fans got very bitter on here after the meeting. It’s always better to congratulate the victors and bow out gracefully, even if you feel injustice and disappointment. If you are raging, turn off the forum and go to bed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Ipswich fans also blaming Hume for the defeat.Imo the way Ipswich were built as a team they wouldn't expect Doyle/Sayfutdinov to drop 8pts between them anywhere like they did tonight.Could that not be part to blame too. All 7 Ipswich riders did their best, which for some of them wasn't good enough. On Tuesday night, only 6 Sheffield riders put in a shift - it could have been so much easier for them if Holder had bothered to turn up. Hey-ho. A new day tomorrow, life goes on.
