Right-back for Newcastle United Kieran Trippier got into a heated argument with a fan.
Kieran Trippier has apologized to Newcastle United fans following Saturday night’s 2-0 loss at Bournemouth.
The travelling Geordies made the 700-mile round trip to the Vitality Stadium but were left disappointed after Dominic Solanke’s second-half brace inflicted a first Premier League defeat since September.
At full-time, Trippier got into a verbal spat with a supporter. “Were the lads not giving everything?” the England international inquired. and repeatedly asked, “How many injuries have we got?” before being dragged away by Joelinton.
When asked about the incident, the 33-year-old said to Premier League Productions, “It was just one of those where they were emotional and they had traveled a long distance – we were having a chat.”
“A message to the fans: we sincerely apologize for this result, and the lads are doing everything they can in the circumstances.”
“We’re not scared, and we have to stick together.”
“The international break has come at the perfect time for the team to relax and recharge before returning.” It will be relentless again after the break.”
He later told Sky Sports, “The fans are emotional; they’ve come a long way.” I spoke with one of them and told him that we are giving everything and that there is no need to panic.
“We got beat and we apologise for that result but the lads are giving everything.”
“Yeah, it was obviously frustrating,” Trippier said of the game. We weren’t our usual selves. We were far off the pace, and Bournemouth deserved to win.
“They’re a good side (Bournemouth). We knew it would be difficult to come here. We did our best under the circumstances, but there are no excuses.
“That is the truth. We wanted to compete in every competition, including the Champions League. This is what we desire. We’ve lost a lot of players, but now is the time to stand tall and give even more. The international break has arrived just in time for us.
“We fell for their traps and turned it into a basketball game.” We had to establish our authority. We must return to the Premier League with a clear mind for Chelsea.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for the young lads.” We will require everyone. They have trained well and handled themselves well, which we will require.
“We have a few weeks for the injured lads to get back in shape.” It’s the ideal time for an international break.”
