Tommy Smith continues to play the full 90.

Smith again played 90 minutes for his Ipswich Town side this morning although it wasn't entirely auspicious as his side fell at home to league leaders QPR, and Smith gave away a penalty. From http://www.twtd.co.uk

In the 67th minute Tommy Smith was booked for a cynical foul on the breaking Mackie on halfway, just prior to the visitors adding their third in slightly bizarre circumstances.

Smith tackled Mackie as the ball was played into feet just inside the area, the loose ball falling for Akos Buzsaky 20 yards out. The Hungarian slammed an unstoppable effort past his international team-mate Fülöp, but referee Keith Stroud had already blown his whistle for a penalty, having somewhat harshly deemed Smith’s challenge a foul. Helguson stepped up to score from the spot.

Ipswich now face another title contender in Cardiff this weekend.
