Ridiculous, yet sadly predictable, that so many have seemingly forgotten there was a game of football on today, instead desperately falling over themselves to paint themselves a victim in order to abuse the manager once again. Utterly, utterly pathetic. | |

It's genuinely very sad that so many people loathe themselves to the degree they show here. | |

To be fair, it was a pretty extraordinary incident if intended as it appears. Even the wife commented on it. | |

Have you ever seen a manager of any club react like that? He said he wanted to win it for the fans. That is hardly clear from that reaction. Disgraceful. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

You assume it's going to be asked in the proper way. ITFC supply commentators to Radio Suffolk, Radio Suffolk will not want to risk that so they wll suck up to the club like always. | |

It just looked like spur-of-the-moment elation/aggression to me. See it in football every week. | |

Hard to really tell who it was aimed at - shouting 'fck off' as a release in a moment of celebration is hardly a problem (indeed, people were gleefully sharing the clip of Mick shouting it directly at Bradley Johnson from the match a few years ago). Anyone using the footage as proof either way is being very disingenuous. | |

IF it were aimed at the fans, I'm sorry, but he's supposed to be a professional. How can he expect the players to remain disciplined on the pitch, if he can't remain disciplined himself off it? | |

The footage showing the whole thing and the agressive stare which goes with it, at the Town end, is clearly evidence which is relevant. Plainly its not clear proof, but it is significant evidence. | |

As I say in a different thread, there is a possibility that a Norwich player may have been on the same angle who said something to him as he was celebrating. Otherwise it is in the direction of the Town fans. However, I'm hearing that Town fans had been singing "Mick McCarthy, your football is sh1t" which if true makes that response more understandable, if not fully justifiable. But on first viewing it looks awful, the glare even more than the swearing: anger bordering on hate. | | | |

Whether or not he meant to tell our own fans to f off, the fact that he made it look like that on national TV is really disgraceful. He should be way old enough and experienced enough not to do that. It reflects the fact that sadly the criticism - and he's taken a lot of it - has got to him. I think he's a decent man but he's allowed this rift to widen on various occasions and doesn't seem able to contain himself. However, unfortunately I think he'll still be here next season. It suits ME financially, and the stubborn old b****r is clearly determined to prove his critics wrong. | | | |

Many think our team is poor and many think our manager is rubbish. The main issue is some of our fans are utterly idiotic. We are all disappointed but some of the comments I have read could be written by someone who has never watched football in their lives. | | | |
