2 balls in the back of the net. Refs crapping on us worse than usual

Glad we had all that ‘time on the grass’. We are actually worse. 
 

Wharton can complain about how bad life was under JDT as though he is Baresi MKII….he is a shocking player.

Besides the horrendous GK error we've looked very solid. Should be level here. 

[BigBar]

That's very harsh, bias aside I think it should have stood.

Chrisene looked onside for first one, but I think their defender maybe booted it into the net because he saw the flag anyway.

We need to take confidence from that, they may be a good team but they aren’t world beaters 

[danger19_80]

the keeper knew exactly where the ball was just wasn't able to save it. Should have stood.

[WacoRover]

TV explanation:

“Szmodics was in the goal keepers eye-line…”  Bosh

But that’s not the rules so it’s not relevant, he’s in an offside position in the keepers line of sight, how likely he is to save it isn’t in the equation

Kieffer Moore is everything Gallagher isnt

[moerpho]

Either way there's the post-game excuse in the box: If that goal had stood we would've blah blah blah

[CambridgeRover]

So many times we lose the ball from just lumping up the pitch

One of the replays shows Szomdics to the side of the keeper not directly in front

Where’s the fight, the anger or desire?

Sad to see what we have become.

And, if we’re honest, Eustace isn’t going to be the man to do anything about it.

[Tom]

Get Dolan off that’s a pathetic challenge, not the commitment we need dickhead 

[Exiled_Rover]

I haven't watched Ipswich play much - they must concede a lot of goals, right? They look so ropey at the back.

And Ipswich Town are a club that Blackburn Rovers are not.

Apparently if you're offside and within the GK's peripheral vision it's offside. Despite the fact he's nowhere near the ball and was easily beaten. 

New rule to me.

Wait, you're disappointed with this performance?!

[Polky]

Come on, let’s stick together…

[danger19_80]

Shambolic refereeing

[Exiled_Rover]

Lads. This ref is a disgrace. 

[joey_big_nose]

I was really confused by that disallowed goal. 

Were making a lot of unforced errors but overall on the balance of play weve been good value. Think theyve only had one decent effort which they scored from. Weve opened them up a couple of times. Unlucky to be behind.

But... Doesn't feel like Ipswich have really got out of second gear. 

[roverandout]

We're blaming the ref for rovers being inept?

[Andy]

We’ve done absolutely nothing, other than waste possession and concede the softest goal I can remember in living history.

Struggling to find any positives from that half?

I am 

 

How many shots have we had? We’ve created one chance, we need to be fighting for our lives and it’s just not happening
