Afet watching Reading outplay promotions contadates Ipswich Town for the majority fo the match it is disappointing not to see them win. But there were more reasons for the fans frustration. On todays performance Ipswich will be staying in Div 1 but if they have the same ref for the season then they will win the title. At every chance the ref had he booked a Reading player. To the point that Pards had to take off Sidwell because he looked like he would be sent off, Sidwell who gave Reading the lead was running the park and was outstanding throughout. Nicky Shorey was dismissed for a proffesinal foul on Marcus Bent, according to the ref. But to rub it in more was the nerve of the Ipswich Captain who clearly dived for the penalty and of course it was given. All in all a frustrating day but we still earned a valuable point!

Man Of The Match = Steven Sidwell - Was excellent throughout and took his goal well.

Ref Watch = I think I have said enough already to get the idea
