|2-Away Win







|1-by Mammoth/Independant



Yes its true, Ipswich Town won away from home, 4-1 at Reading.  It was a
day  of  firsts,  first  away  win,  Paul Masons first of the season and
Geraint Williams (unbeleivably) scored the fourth.

I didnt go cos I need every penny I can get, I am off to Croydon soon to
start work as an Analyst/Programmer/Consultant.  First away match I miss
and  we win it, typical eh??  Anyway, I was listening to the Rugby World
Cup  final and bashing up articles for The Word when I heard we were one
up,  "Yes"  I thought.  Not to optomistic cos we have took the lead away
from home three times to be pegged back, second half they equalised then
Paul  Mason  scored  immediately after.  Ten minutes left I am nervously
watching  Teletext,  then  the  score  clicks  up to three one with Alex
Mathie getting the third.

I spend five worried minutes snouting through the other divisions to see
how  other teams had got on (Scunthorpe won 8-1 at Torquay, Peterborough
won 6-1 against Bury).  I flicked back to 305 and saw it....

Reading     1-4     Ipswich Town

dunno 64            Uhlenbeek 43
                    Mason 67
                    Mathie 85
                    Williams 90  <---------   Bloody Hell!!!!!

I  nearly  fainted,  he scores less than John Major in Stringfellows, in
fact  both  games  he has scored in I have missed.  But I digress, I ran
out  of the van, did a lap of honour round it leaping about and yelling,
then realised the neighbours were watching.

Did  I care??  Did I BOLLOX!!  My team had won away from home and as far
as  I  was concerned I was long overdue a celebration, remember the fact
that  we  lost 1-0 at home to Luton the previous week so I was feeling a
bit happy.

So,  next week, who have we got???  Grimsby at home, Pex le Sex, see you
at Portman Road!  (If you're going that is).

Blue Army!
