Fair play to Mick McCarthy

On the penalty appeal: "I have not seen an angle where it looks like a penalty.
"We suddenly had five or 10 minutes where we were baying for blood and anywhere in the world would have shouted for a penalty. But it was not for me."

Compare that to the reaction Dave Jones would have given to that not-given penalty.

 

Mick showed us a lot of respect in his interview before the game. He clearly still has a great affection for us.

 

My favourite player when I was a kid and someone I still look up to now. He's never failed to impress me either playing the game, managing a team or just being the man he is.

I hope he's true to his word and never becomes our manager. It doesn't matter how good he is, and I think he's very good, every manager who ever takes charge at our club will eventually fail. Every manager who ever takes charge of any club of a similar size to Barnsley will eventually fail. I couldn't stand to see Barnsley fans turn on Mick the way Middlesbrough's fans have turned on their hero Tony Mowbray.

 

He is barnsley through and through, he gives a right interview . Honest and blunt

 

He always is open and honest when it comes to us.

Had it been against anyone else and I think he might have wanted something.

 

Mick was one of my favourite players as a kid - big no nonsense centre back who took no prisoners. Had a massive throw as well from what I remember
