    Would love to know what that's based on. Feeling? This is an imperfect methodology, but it ranks UK at 16th -

    Which is by no means terrible and does compare somewhat favourably to other similar european nations (Italy and Germany just below) but to consider UK to be the most tolerant is pretty wide of the mark tbh.

    Nice, Canada #2! I moved here in 2007 and I certainly think there's a stark difference in attitude towards people from all walks of life and backgrounds comparatively. 

    I've got a season ticket at the local club here and it's the first time I've been in a situation where the fans were booing and chanting a player is a bigot. That player had refused to wear the rainbow armband.

    Of course there's a racist element among our fanbase. Show me a football team that doesn't have racist fans. It's educating them that is important.

    I still think the club should bring back taking the knee, as unpopular as that view is on here.

    I think the question is intended to be do we have a larger issues than most in the league or country perhaps. 

    All clubs will have at least one person who has some disgusting opinions, but in my opinion (and it is just that) I think that Teesside in general has a higher Populus of those views than other areas where you see a more integrated diverse community.

    i'll try not to over react after that *** show.

    recruitment: is nothing short of embarrassing. we signed thomas and ayling in jan due to injuries and they are totally cack. far worse than our injured players. azaz i like though. but selling rogers and not bringing in a striker is utter ***. its fine to bring is second class fullbacks but never bothered with a stiker and played loads without a striker because of it. carrick and scott u are useless. 

    performances: we continue to have to play players who clearly are to *** for us. the likes of the loanee's and barlaser etc etc. teams not good enough, which is a joke. 

    tactics: carrick is a fool, trying to play clever set up and such. all he's doing is confusing his players. yesterday in that game silviera mcgree and azaz looked lost. they didnt know what they were supposed to be doing. 

    the play our from the back tosh, is infuriating, the keeper is crap at it, barlaser is crap at it, the defenders clearly dont like doing it. they can't be enjoying passing across the backline. us fans hate it. its costing us goals almost every game wtf is carrick trying to achieve. he's a fool. 

     

    my verdict, Sack carrick now because i absolutely do not want to see another season of this utter garbage. we are going nowhere under him. had a good run last season when he took over, what have we dont since? we are a bottom half side now. probably about right apart from the great start carrick had. i dont care about injuries we've had either, the blades had loads all last season and still won every week. its not an excuse. 

    i've had enough of a middlesbrough team turn up at the riverside and barely put a tackle in. pathetic, CARRICK OUT!!!!!!!!!

    Just braved watching the highlights, barlaser in involved in all the plymouth goals and big chances in a negative way. glover for their first goal. carrick is a fool starting him if dieng is fit. all on him.

    I'm glad you tried to not over react Kev

    I don't think racism or the other things you mention stem from politicians, celebrities and the media.  We're animals, and we're designed to be fearful/mistrustful of things that are different to us in some way.  It's a survival trait, and it's been there for a long time. Some people are able to think beyond that but some people aren't.  

    I happen to disagree, I don't think it's a hardwired thing that people are "able to think beyond." I think it's a cultural issue and to the posts above, I think that is amplified and exacerbated by politicians and media. At least that's my take away having lived in a few different countries now. I've settled in an extremely culturally diverse city and I was back in the Boro last year. And to be honest I was surprised by the level of discriminatory things I heard in general when I was there

    24th February and we are talking about wiping the season off...that sums up exactly what has gone wrong over the course of the season and in the transfer windows

    Absolutely disgraceful after last season

    Fans been massively let down

    Don't worry mate, we have the privilege of paying more next season for the same old ***

    In fairness to Carrick we seem to have bought / loaned a lot of utility players who can do 2-3 positions to varying degrees.

    Guess he just hasn't figured out their best positions yet.

    Silvera right, Azaz centre, McGree left, Forss up top. 

     

    Took me four *** seconds.

    Big mystery for me - why Dijksteel isn't playing. Ayling is to slow to play this formation.

    Carrick has got this terribly wrong. But he has most times at home this year to be honest.

    His last two cameos have not made that much of a mystery to me I'll be honest

    That's harsh. I honestly think Glover has been fine. He's not very suited to playing out from the back but he's doing what he's been instructed by the coaching staff

    I missed the first goal because I was helping my daughter get ready for dance class. 

     

    Just seen it and I'd like to retract my protestation.

    Think this will be the team though he might stick with Engel and I’m hoping Dieng goes back in.

    Yeah, you know this might be the type of game where Engel can make things happen in an attacking sense. But for me, in brief viewing Thomas seems to be the more positionally aware defender, which would be useful against these who are a good attacking side
