MM abused all season 22:23 - Apr 17 with 2341 views | groovyASH | And he refers indirectly to fans as f**kers and there is meltdown. If anyone bothered to read the full comments in context they would see it was clearly not a dig at town fans. Funny how people miss the points where he acknowledges his side have been s**t at PR this season, how he was pleased to be involved in a day that paid tribute to Sir Bobby. funny how people are happy to push the performance of the season to the background so they can clutch at comments made by a wily old Yorkshireman to further their agenda of enmity. Frankly would not blame MM if he had called half of you lot f**kers. Today of all days, the focus should be elsewhere on positives. Great performance and tribute to a real football legend who just happens to be a massive part of the culture of our club. | |

MM abused all season on 22:26 - Apr 17 with 2300 views | Kieran_Knows | Agreed. Not that I really care that he has called us that, does not bother me in the slightest. It is funny to see grown men getting annoyed about it though, noticeably those that have given Mick the most sh*t this season. [Post edited 17 Apr 2017 22:55]

MM abused all season on 22:28 - Apr 17 with 2261 views | Reuser_is_God | The biggest thing about MM's disregard of the fans lately is that he's not trying to build bridges which, for me, can only means he's off. He can call me what he likes as I often swear about him! | |

I'd be very surprised if it is based upon one performance. | |

The 'Mick stay or go' poll that Phil's been running has changed by a 2% swing towards 'stay' since this morning. Edit: can't find it now, but should have added that this morning it was around 73% for Mick to go, whereas it's currently around 71%. [Post edited 17 Apr 2017 22:40]

MM abused all season on 22:32 - Apr 17 with 2233 views | PhilTWTD | Indeed, I didn't take it as a dig, just as a figure of speech, albeit a sweary one, along the lines of Jools Holland's "Be there or don't be a groovy f****er" 5pm trailer for The Tube, aimed at helping to motivate the team. Re the other comment - which was made to me, incidentally - about atmosphere and fans' role in it, I think he was reiterating his previous point - again rather more grittily than was perhaps necessary - that fans can have an impact on games, positively in today's case, or negatively in previous matches. | | | |

Yes, but you're a sensible adult, and not a precious little flower. That was what you asked me to say, wasn't it? | |

Its unsurprising that his comments have become more gritty and harsh as the season has gone on, he's spent pretty much all of it on the end of abuse and disrespect in one aspect or another. | |

MM abused all season on 22:54 - Apr 17 with 2025 views | jeera | Grown men who want to scream abuse in their hundreds, and think the management and players should take it without protest... Then whine when they get a bit back. And even then, barely anything at all. "I said, ‘Not us by the way, I’m sure none of the f****rs are coming to watch us the way we’ve been playing here. So if that’s the case, I’m not bothered about that but make sure they’re talking about us when they go home, in a positive manner, and make sure they’ve come and they’ve enjoyed watching us’.” The club should pay for counselling. | |

Is that it?! I had assumed he'd at least insulted my Mum or something... | |

He will be gone before our next game. Amazed he was not dismissed this evening. | |

Has has seemed increasingly irked by it, certainly more so as the season has worn on. I think largely because he feels it's not deserved on the overall balance of his time in charge. | | | |
MM abused all season on 00:16 - Apr 18 with 1725 views | BlueAllOver | Agreed, heard his interview on the way back home in the car, nothing wrong with it at all, much as most of his interviews of late. Some just like to pick out the negatives of everything he says and ignore the majority of perfectly reasonable comments he makes. Well done to Mick and the team on the last two performances, thoroughly enjoyed both. COYB! [Post edited 18 Apr 2017 0:20]

That's exactly how I read it. You can see a tragedy on the news and say "those poor f@ckers". My mum would have said "those poor devils". She wasn't calling the victims of of an earthquake or bombing Satan worshippers. It's a figure of speech that has been misinterpreted by those who want Mick out. | |
