Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy strongly criticised his own club's fans following Sunday's draw with Norwich.
Honours were even in the East Anglian derby, with Jonas Knudsen's goal in first-half stoppage time cancelling out Cameron Jerome's strike.
The result means Ipswich have won just one of their first four Sky Bet Championship fixtures this season, leading to some unrest among the Portman Road supporters.
But McCarthy has made it clear he rejects such inconsistent criticism in no uncertain terms.
"Look, I get sick to death by this," he said. "We play one bad half and we are all **** and we can't play. It's 'get somebody who cares', and I'm a boring ****.
"That's what somebody called me last week. I wish he'd have said it to my face because his pint of lager, he'd have been wearing it, let me tell you.
"I heard the comments, but if that's what they think about me and my team then they are sadly mistaken.
"I'm not having that. And I'm not having that all of a sudden we are great this week. Do me a favour. Let's all be consistent about it. It really does irk me that. Up and down like a fiddler's elbow. I'm all right one week and I'm not the next."
