More calls against a club is not evidence of bias — the spread between clubs is close to what chance produces. RefCard publishes the ledger, not an accusation.

Every confirmed error involving Ipswich

• 2024-25 · Aston Villa v Ipswich (2025-02-15) — referee Robert Jones; the decision went against them. Panel: Axel Tuanzebe was wrongly given a second yellow card resulting in dismissal.
• 2024-25 · Manchester City v Ipswich (2024-08-24) — referee Michael Salisbury; the decision went against them. Panel: Savinho challenged Leif Davis in the penalty area and the referee did not award a penalty, which the KMI panel determined was incorrect but below the threshold for VAR intervention.
• 2024-25 · Ipswich v Leicester (2024-11-02) — referee Tim Robinson; the decision went against them. Panel: Ipswich's Conor Chaplin was challenged by Leicester's Fatawu Issahaku in the box, but the referee did not award a penalty despite the KMI panel determining it should have been given.
• 2024-25 · Ipswich v Brighton (2025-01-16) — referee Tony Harrington; the decision went in their favour. Panel: The body position and contact, initiated by Burns, should have been penalized. Van Hecke has to engage as he tries to get past the defender. No attempt is made to look at the ball by Burns, let alone play it.
• 2024-25 · Ipswich v Brentford (2025-05-10) — referee Sam Barrott; the decision went in their favour. Panel: Tuanzebe is not looking at the ball, Collins tries to break free and Tuanzebe holds him with both arms and impacts his movement. The holding was not mutual.
• 2024-25 · Ipswich v Tottenham (2025-02-22) — referee Tim Robinson; the decision went against them. Panel: Referee did not award penalty for O'Shea's challenge on Danso, KMI panel ruled penalty should have been given but error did not meet clear and obvious threshold for VAR intervention.
