His comment wasn't aimed at fans who weren't there today. In fact it's difficult to tell who it was aimed at. And I never agree with a coach - or a player for that matter - criticising the fans for normal fan behaviour. It's unprofessional and always ill-advised. Having said that I wouldn't even be talking about it if people weren't either being outraged by or trying to defend what was said.
Anyway - good win today and Palace beat Man City so I'm a happy camper tonight.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Na des were waiting for Chester and the bags of sl experience he's got
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
i agree radford was out of order, but in hindsight maybe he regrets his remarks, i hope so, imo he still isnt the right man for the job, but i really really hope am wrong
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
For calling out the fickle amongst us, if you think it was aimed at anyone who just couldn't go for varying reasons then you'd be mistaken. It was clearly aimed at those who change their mind week in week out and probably mostly at those throwing verbal abuse at players on social media.

Show me a fan on this board who's changed their minds week to week? Fantastic win for the team today, great game, end to end, but have I changed my mind on Lee Radford? No I haven't, and he did himself no favours today, slagging the fans off, that Mr Radford is part and parcel of coaching, and having an atrocious coaching record, take the flack, like you said In the paper, your big enough and ugly enough to take it, well clearly your not, but someone needs to tell you Ill timed comments like today, will do you no favours with the fans

I don't mind him speaking his mind, it's better than pre prepared media statements, however I think he's massively jumping the gun with his comments, we've acheived back to back wins once during his time in charge, he should be waiting till we've recorded several wins and are back in with a shout of getting 8th before slagging fans off. Also a lot of clubs would love to have 850+ (club website numbers) at any away game, never mind one across then Pennines in such poor form.
