Town boss Jim Magilton refused to blame the officials despite Town having a 'goal' turned away and two strong penalty appeals turned down in the goalless draw with QPR.

Referee Paul Armstrong waved away claims for a spot-kick after Alan Lee was twice bundled over in the box and then turned down appeals from Blues that Velice Sumulikoski's close range effort had been cleared from behind the line by the hand of a Rangers' defender.

"I'm not going to moan about the officials," Jim told Ipswich World after the game.

"I did not have a great view of the incident at the end but my first thoughts were that Shumi should have smashed the ball back into the net.

"That said he was adamant, as were the other lads, that the ball was over the line and then hit the lad's arm.

"We also had two stonewall penalty appeals but we're not going to cry about it.

"We had the better chances and their 'keeper has made two world class saves but it was two teams going all out to win.

"It was surprising that the score was goalless at the break. There was one occasion when each side had two chances in the space of two minutes. It was end to end and too open for my liking but for anyone watching, it was a great advert for Championship football."
