Sky News Report

Kelly Dalgliesh: Its been a mixed night of results for Ipswich Boss Tony Hall with one loss, one draw and one win. A 1-0 defeat away to Cardiff was not what Tony Hall needed to start the night as that result disappointed the Ipswich board. A 0-0 draw in the next game against Crystal Palace was well earned defensively as Ipswich’s defence fought long and hard under the strain of constant barrages of attacks from Palace. The last game produced a 2-1 victory away to struggling Millwall with Nicky Forster scoring from the spot after being brought down in the area and second half substitute Dean Bowditch scored the second after a superbly craft Ipswich move. Those results have kept Ipswich in 16th place and Tony Hall has conceded that promotion is not going to happen this season.

Kelly Dalgliesh: In other Ipswich news….



Kelly Dalgliesh: Southampton Striker Leon Best has completed his £100K move to Ipswich, although he is currently injured he is expected to make his debut soon.

Black and whites keep up winning ways

Over the past couple of weeks Gretna have kept up pressure on Bell's League Division Two leaders Partick Thistle and now they find themselves level on points and only behind on goal difference to their rivals.


Saturday 14th January 2006 : Ayr v Gretna : Bell's League Division Two : 2-1 victory

Gretna played well from the get go here and the only surprise here was that it took half an hour for them to make the breakthrough and the goal came through Kjartan Henry Finnbogason, Gretna could and perhaps should have scored more before the interval but in 54mins Finnbogason doubled the advantage, it appeared Gretna were on easy street until former Kilmarnock diddy Jerome Varellie pulled one back for Ayr in the 76th minute and with Lee Sharp getting himself sent off in the 89th minute any hope that Ayr had of an injury time comeback faded away.


Saturday 15th January 2006 : Gretna v Dumbarton : Bell's League Division Two : 2-0 win

John Dillon made a flying start to the match, a flying kick that is as he was sent off in the 5th minute for a reckless challenge.
Kenny Deuchar finally made the numerical advantage pay for Gretna in the 42nd minute as he broke the deadlock.
Kjartan Henry Finnbogason kept up his remarkable scoring record for Gretna by scoring his 33rd goal in 29 starts in the 81st minute.
3 points and no shocks here at Raydale park today :thup:


Saturday 28th January 2006 : Forfar v Gretna : Bell's League Division Two : 2-0 win

So its these bastards again, the past three times we have met this season they have caused nothing but problems!
The only shock this time however was the lack of problems that Forfar actually caused in this match.
David Bingham opened the scoring for the visitors in the 15th minute.
Several chances came and went for Gretna during the first half but they found themselves unable to take advantage of the.
In the 53rd minute Kenny Deuchar all but assured the 3 points with Gretna's second goal.
And with Partick Thistle dropping points this moved Gretna into joint first position in the 2nd divison :thup:

Come one promotion

And thats about that

The Eagle has landed

A new year and Palace still stiuck just on the cusp of automatic promotion!! An away trip to Burnley was the tonic for the hangovers awaiting the players!!

2nd January 2006

An early wake up all greeted the Palace when their former multi million pound flop came back to haunt them in spectacular style, with a fourth minute goal against his former employers. Andy Johnson soon took offence and netted an admirable equaliser for the eagles to send the teams in level at half time. The goal was of such quality, and Johnsons contribution so good, that later he would receive the Man of the match award . Jon Macken finaly put the Palace on the pedestal they deserved when he scored the winner early in the second half. :thup:

4th January 2006

After such a hectic schedule, something had to give and, despite best intentions, it was a tired performance and a sloppy defence which let the Tigers depart with three points safely tucked away, earned via a Craif Fogan goal in the first half

Crystal Palace 0 Hull 1
Hull Scorers : Fogan (31)

14th January 2005

The Derby keeper performed heroics to keep the visitors on an even keel in this game. After Idiakez put the Ram’s in front, Palace rampaged through the Derby half but were kept at bay by some exemplary work by Lee Camp, which was recognised with a well deserved Man of the match award. Ben Wright did equalise for the Eagles in the second half but they were unable to make the pressure count and seal the win :thdn:

21st January 2005

A match against fellow EFB Manager Tony Hall, and Palace were looking for some payback after undeservedly losing the home leg after dominating the game! But despite continuing the domination at Portman Road, Palace still came away frustrated , although a point better off than the last outing! The goalless match only memorable for Tom Soares Man of the Match performance :thup:

Ipswich 0 Crystal Palace 0
Attendance : 26026
MOM : Tom Soares (Palace)

31st January 2005

The teams current slump in form was brought to an abrupt end with this fine performance Ben Wright, proving to be a masterstroke of a signing for rouchies Palace grabbed a goal in the first half , Tom Feeney did level the gamer at the last knockings of the half but it proved to be false hope for the hatters. 10 minutes after the restart Wright sealed his brace, the Johnson netted followed by Butterfield. Tom Soares, although not on the scoresheet had an influential game and deserved the Man of the Match Champagne presented to him after the game :thup:

Palace Scorers : Wright (6, 55) Johnson (77) Butterfield (85)
