I'm not sure why the groundsmen is anywhere near our manager to be honest but, as I said elsewhere, I expect our manager to acquit himself professionally as the most senior employee of the club.
It's similar to the "if you don't like it don't come" from Rojo, it's not the words/actions that are a problem it's the continuing decline in standards of professionalism from top to bottom at our football club that really, really worries me.
Knowing nothing of the real happenings I will speculate. Wimbledon's commentators were mentioning forthcoming events for the volunteers. i took it to mean the volunteers who work for the club in some way or another, given their history I imagine fan involvement is high at Wimbledon. maybe the member of groundstaff in question is a Wimbledon fan. Then add in the banner that Wimbledon fans were parading mentioning that Robinson is a c***. Then add in the MKD thing, and the dramatic end of the game. Ingredients for a perfect storm if I'm right.
It would benefit Karl if he spent some serious time considering how he deals with some of the pressures of the game, and I include match officials in that. I am not suggesting he becomes any less passionate, but develops techniques to use that passion better.

Like ensuring we hang on for the three points - that would make him feel better, post-match.
I watch this and can only think of the class of Chris Powell, one of the true gentleman in this game.
And these effing idiots running our club thought it a clever move to dispose of his services, landing us - is it 5 or 6 managers later - with our current incumbent.
Groundsman has no right to say something to him. I would probably have done same thing after giving up late equaliser. Good to see he has some passion.
More than anything, I guarantee that is the only club that would have happened at.
As a manager, you should let other people show themselves up for what they are rather than stooping to their level, how you can control a team and put discipline in them when you are after a barney with a groundsman is hilarious. Still though, I guess it is "passion" which is one of the first emotions that could be interpreted positively... For me though, the guy is a twat.
Robinson will say he's embarrassed by his actions, then will give a 10 second awkward angry glare to emphasize how annoyed he is by the fact that we dropped 2 points.
After the game, Robinson was involved in an incident with a member of AFC Wimbledon’s staff as the teams left the field.
“He knows what he said to me,” the Manager said. “We get stick, it’s part of the game, but when an employee of the other club says something like that, it shows the class of the person. Certain aspects of it were disgusting and shouldn’t be part of any industry.
“To be fair, their staff and everyone else in the building has been brilliant since then. Credit to them and I have got a lot of respect for the way they conducted themselves.”

I despair.

MK Dons, through and through.
So cringey, can we get Riga back?
Classic Robinson!
