Ipswich manager Paul Lambert has accused Norwich of a 'lack of class' and insists he has no regrets at being sent off during the 3-0 defeat at his former club on Sunday.
Lambert was given a red card on the stroke of half-time, when he reacted angrily and had to be restrained by a police officer as a brawl broke out between the two teams, and he had an angry exchange with some of Norwich's backroom staff.
The 49-year-old's relationship with the club he left in 2012 has long been strained and he told Ipswich's official website: 'It was a lack of class on their behalf; I've never been involved in anything like that at all.
'Some of the things that were said were totally out of order, and I'll fight the corner of this football club.
'There were things that shouldn't have happened, not through our doing.
'We played a really good game without getting the reward, and that's been the story of our time here. Regarding what I saw and what I've heard, I won't let this club be bullied by anyone.'

All the video evidence tells a different story Mr Lambert, couple that with your team instructions to kick the other team at every opportunity, makes you a very sad, sore loser. The Ipswich player, Chambers also showed a "lack of class" by grabbing Ben Godfrey by the privates!!
I probably heard more than you matey! :)

Doing a really bad job so in order to deflect attention away from the pitch, he's resorted to 'fighting' for the club he probably couldn't really care less about!

How on earth is this bloke still getting clubs to employ him as a football manager. He is and always has been stealing a living. Ipswich bottom of the league,honestly what did they expect!

Before judging his actions I'd like some idea of what was said by Norwich bench?

Norwich are so bitter that Ipswich have more trophies than them.
