northern boro 446 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 AK has had a pop at the fans following the defeat against West Ham @SimonBird_ Aitor Karanka moaning that the Riverside crowd were too demanding and should have showed players "more respect". Crazy thing to say.#boro @SimonBird_ Aitor Karanka moaning that the Riverside crowd were too demanding and should have showed players "more respect". Crazy thing to say.#boro @dpcoverdale Karanka says the "atmosphere was awful" today and that #boro fans have a "small memory". One way of losing the fans is to start criticizing them @GraemeBailey Boro boss Aitor Karanka slams his own fans: "The atmosphere was awful. They demanded too much. Thousands asking for long balls." Bizarre. @GraemeBailey Just to clarify Karanka's quotes - Boro's fan were brilliant today, as they have been all season. Disgusting comments. Link to post Share on other sites

Weasel 965 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Clearly just comments of frustration, let's not get all offended and dramatic. Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The comments after the article.....we seem to have a load of trumps on board...how dare anyone say anything about us and suggest we aren't perfect Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Playing that sort of football for 3 years, what does he expect the atmosphere to be like? We are bored watching this side week after week Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well I've got to say I'm shocked that Graeme Bailey is trying to stir the pot, he's usually so unbiased about Karanka... Link to post Share on other sites
Alves car salesman 152 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I would like to say in the south stand today block 64 we had fans arguing with each other! Some fans want us to play open and expansive football, that's not our style and we don't have the players to do that! It was a strange atmosphere today as Adama splits people as he can be frustrating to watch! Stuani the normal boo boy had a good game just like against Watford! This season has seen us gain a lot of what I class as plastic fans that weren't watching us against Bolton at the riverside 4 seasons ago! Which has also created this strange atmosphere Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 4 shots on target in 3 home league games Is it a surprise the fans want attacking football??? Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well I've got to say I'm shocked that Graeme Bailey is trying to stir the pot, he's usually so unbiased about Karanka... I think this has got lost in translation a. Bit. I think what he meant to say was. I coach the team all week to play a certain way and due to pressure from the crowd we played a completely different way in the last 10 mins and I think the crowd have to buy into what we do and back the way we play Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 AK must have read my comments after the Southampton match, I thought that the fans showed a lack of respect to the players that were on the pitch, that day. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Odd comments certainly. I don't think the crowd did anything bad. I didn't hear any booing or anything. Seemed like the kind of think Mourinho would say. Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 "Slaven Bilic felt the Riverside atmosphere was no different to any other Premier League stadium as he was asked for his take on Aitor Karanka's post-match comments. Bilic says home fans can often be demanding but didn't notice the "awful atmosphere" which Aitor Karanka felt hindered his side in the game against the Hammers" http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/slaven-bilic-riverside-atmosphere-well-12488713 Link to post Share on other sites
