Just watching the penalty shout from yesterdays game again, and admitting its possibly a stroke of luck, but having had sky analyse it for 40 minutes with no conclusive picture - followed by BBC highlights I want to put my point.
Keogh's arm is out when the ball is kicked BUT from the side camera view when the ball hits Keogh he has twisted and it behind his body after the ball hit him.
The referee can see more clearly than the camera where Keogh's arm is at the important moment.
The referee may not be certain if it has hit arm, body or both - which is my theory - and therefore as there is doubt can't award a penalty.
Derby fans will scream chest Ipswich arm perhaps it was actually so tight the ref couldnt call it?
This in some instances would be where press answers may have appeased both managers and the press. "I saw the ball hit him very quickly on the chest or arm, as it was not immediately evident what it hit I played on due to reasonable doubt". Boom.
But selfishly about time we got something out of Ipswich!
The defender the ball and the ref..

Craig is the nephew of George Burley.
You know it's important for us Rams fans to be 100% factually correct on here don't you

But I still don't like him.

You're forgiven VC10. Fair point well made.
On the way to the match yesterday driving through a storm we passed a 'fallen tree'.
Appropriate eh?

Yes it's a good laugh to see how they are doing down the A52.
I know I shouldn't say this but I quite like Stuart Pearce, I think he's a decent bloke who played his heart out for England. I would like him to succeed at another club one day.
Surely to God Fawaz isn't going to make that loony Keane manager. Hasn't he read the book?
I reckon when Farwaz watches Von Ryan's Express he thinks ole Blue Eyes will catch the train.
When will they ever learn?

George Burley is a die hard Ipswich fan:

Not a very good fortune teller though, wonder what would have happened had we not had to sell under his reign.

No way was that a penalty, Sky need to send Don Goodman to Specsavers

Burley played more than 12 seasons and 500 games for us, I'd reckon it's more to do with that than with any unsurmountable grudge against County. Could be forgiven for a bit of bias imo, even if he isn't all that likeable.

Fair point Walter.

Burley seemed unusually sober considering it was after mid-day.

Was always rumours about him rocking up to training worse for wear and wasn't there an alleged incident with Tudgays Mrs when at us too? We played some great stuff under him though. I think one of the most memorable was Stoke at home 3-0 or 3-1 and the Polish Pele scored a cheeky goal and Idiakez ran them ragged.
