Ipswich Town 6 Manchester Utd 0 (March 1980) PART 2

[southaussieblue]

Don't forget this Man Utd side were no mugs - they finished 2nd that year just 2 points behind title winners Liverpool. Ipswich's style of play was just amazing, the dutch boys were the final bit of the jigsaw that saw that side become truely world class. Quite simply the best team never to have won the title.

[jjgeorges]

what year was this?

[Zorg2006]

Despite the penalty saves, Bailey was terrible for the other goals. It was a great Ipswich team though

[slambert006]

I was at this game - it was raining coins from the United thugs in the corner of the North Stand where the away fans used to stand,

[senorsoupe]

Wow, Man United were rubbish in that game.

[ForAllDisparity]

The good old days alright, I wasn't born yet back then. But back then every club had a chance of winning international cups. Now it's only the rich clubs, money has ruined football. It's not about the game anymore, it's about the business.

[Esseeja]

im a child but manchester united are fucking rubbish

[omarfrancis]

How many points would Gary Bailey have got in Fantasy League? Despite conceding six goals he did save those penalties and saved quite a few shots.

[junkybabes]

ipswich were shit hold back then...

[JDBLUES100]

BLUE ARMY!!! KEANO KEANO KEANO COYB

[GleeOnlineHD]

@JDBLUES100 oh the irony :)

[Paladin24987]

poor gary bailey :( - gr8 pen saves tho :)

[cardigan3000]

clearly he only saves two penalties

[RPOED1]

wtf the score could have been double figures

man utd suck

[everton777]

Division Three level by today's standards.

[karlmarx71]

wow I remember the game well. It was surreal, I used to worship Gary Bailey. Ipswich were the daddies back then, I went to their ground and met the players as a kid with my team. Used to love wearing my Utd away kit back in the good ole 70's......nostalgic stuff.

[Mazurka1001]

Amazing match, and if I saw it right, the Man U keeper saved no less than three penalties!! God, football was so much more fascinating n those years...

[thedoc24100]

Ipswich were a far, far greater team than Man Utd in the seventies and early 80's.

Neither were as good as Aston Villa, mind.

[Mr6292]

This was a brilliant Ipswich Town team and I always enjoyed watching them play, maybe not so much in this game, as I'm a Man Utd fan. Beating them 9-0 in later years has obviously no bearing on this team, so it's hardly revenge. Instead, it was proof we had an amazing Management team who might give us some success in the future. The amount of that success proved to be immense but ,on that one special day, Ipswich Town and their fans lived it BIG. Let them enjoy the memory.

[TheManurules]

We trashed them 9-0

[madbob73]

Bot of a difference. This United team was in the top 3 i think. That Ipswich side was dire.

[luciee1324]

My Dad Is In This At 1:43 Lol

[Stephen1965]

I remember this game and this was probably the best Ipswich team I've known in my 44 years but you had Sir Bobby as manager at the time. :) Despite conceding 6 goals Gary Bailey played a blinder.

[DrummrAzzr]

Ipswich Town F.C. One of the greats :)

[MrForeveritfc]

6-0 r u sure we wernt playin naaarich

[eroast]

ITFC the all time classic football team, ups and downs, proper passing game, true fans, great town where ALL the locals support the tractor boys. Would be great to see them back in the prem. Come on keano! ps funny how no man utd fans recall this result!

[docrsnthl]

That's why Bobby Robson was great.

[1978Jubes]

Luv seeing the Reds get Stuffed ...Fantastic!

[swimrunt314]

[usernameofnobody]

Those were the days!

[theElfwarrior]

fucking 3 pk's saved

[pablotjob]

brazil???? curious surname, eeee

[Bondiaa]

I´m from mallorca and I start following british footie cauze Ipswich Town.Cooper,Mills

Osman Butcher McCall,Wark Thijssen Mürhen,Brazil Mariner Gates.(Robson the manager)Small teams put the charm.And what a ns adidas shirt,and the red & white mitre ball...those were years.

[MokaMartini]

same for me! how i did love this team! wark, brazil, mariner... ohh sweet memories

[Torowe2]

What is even more amazing about this game, is that United were neck and neck with Liverpool at the top of the table for the title - and this was March !!! Tony

[DonLusher]

Fantastic

[dunamission]

LOL! I remember this game. I was totally gutted, we were humiliated bigtime.

Arnold Muhren was absolutely sensational that day. Bobby Robson - England's best manager since Ramsey.

[theElfwarrior]

i cant believe we missed the pk 3 times!!

[inzithaksin]

what the fucking hell was up with the united defence?

[06munsona]

where is wark when you need him haha WOULD have been 8 then

[BrivoidTheCool]

should have been 8-0 lol

[TrueLegendKiller]

8?

More Like 28 =]

[docrsnthl]

Wow! That really does remind me of happier times. I was there.

[Wolfington]

United had a good side that year as well, we only lost the title on the last day of the season to shitty Liverpool. One of those days for Ipswich when everything went right...

What lost United the title that season though was losing home games to the likes of Wolves - a horrible match, at least Ipsich were a good side then.

[cajjer]

Bloody hell, yeah. That Wolves match; Sexton's tactics; not playing Andy Ritchie; Jimmy Greenhoff's injury. If the Doc hadn't have been sacked, we've have won the title in 1980 and 1981.

[negba]

amazing to think of the score could have been higher if the penalities had been scored. I remember being at Old Traford when Dundee Utd managed a 2-2 draw in the Uefa Cup.

[cajjer]

We won 3-2 at Tannadice

[gray707]

wonderful stuff, was thier that day in the Churchmans Stand. Sadly money talks and we might not see the likes again. Up the TOWN.

[tmilsted]

These were the days! Ipswich made Man u look silly!!!

[cajjer]

Tragically, yes. Tactical errors and some incredible mistakes cost us - both that day, and the title. Still pride in Bailey's three pen saves, However. And it made the 9-0 in 1995 sweeter. :)

[RICHIEBSQUI]

My good mate sent me this clip.................... Hope that ITFC get back into The Premiership next year. From MUFC fan Rich.

[gunnwun]

cheers mate

[MarcusBowen]

Let's hope Roy Keane gets them promoted, goes to Old Trafford and whips his former club!!! :D :D.
