sport news Sky Sports pundit who was slammed by Ipswich star during Premier League ... trends now
A Sky Sports pundit who faced criticism from an Ipswich Town player during their boozy promotion celebrations has hit back at the star.
Ipswich were celebrating back-to-back promotions earlier this week after they booked their place in next season's Premier League on the last day of the Championship season when defender Luke Woolfenden took to the microphone.
He took aim at Sky pundit Don Goodman, who features regularly on the broadcaster's Football League coverage, including Championship games.
Woolfenden said, in unedited footage broadcast by Sky: 'I'll have to sit for six weeks now, and listen to Don Goodman tell us we're not good enough for the Prem like we did in the Champ. We're still going to finish mid-table, Don, but don't worry about it.'
Goodman, however, speaking via OLBG, was left puzzled by the 25-year-old's comments, and bashed him for his words during the club's open-top bus parade.

'I've been nothing but complimentary about Ipswich Town from the moment they beat Sunderland on the opening day up until their promotion was confirmed.
'It just seems like Luke Woolfenden has a problem with me rather than anyone else at the club. I'm going to be a grown-up about it, but unfortunately Luke has been a little immature.
'The only other thing I can think of that Luke may have taken personally was my observation reference what it usually takes from a defensive perspective to get into the top 2 of the Championship.
'They had conceded a lot of goals compared to the likes of Leicester City and Leeds United and it's a fact that across the last 10 years and 20 automatically-promoted teams, there has not been a side which has conceded more than Ipswich's 57 goals. That is a fact.
'I can only imagine being a defender, that's where Luke has taken it personally. I genuinely can't think of anything else.'
Woolfenden continued his rant, which took place prior to later celebrations with Town fan Ed Sheeran,
