What. A. Finish. 😱

Ipswich Town left it late, but George Hirst’s ice-cold 95th-minute penalty earned the Tractor Boys a massive point on the road in a fiery Championship opener against Birmingham. 

We talk you through the chaos at the end:

⚽ The penalty incident – fair call or harsh on Birmingham?
🔥 Players clashing, touchline tempers, and the roar from the away end
💪 Performances. Who stood out. Who needs to do more?
🔍 First impressions of the squad and just how short of quality we look?

💬 Was that a stonewall pen or a gift from the ref? Let’s hear from you in the comments!

📅 Final Score: Birmingham City 1–1 Ipswich Town
🎯 Goals: Birmingham – Jay Stansfield (21’), Ipswich – George Hirst (95’ pen)
