Wolves boss McCarthy refuses to bite back at taunting fans

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy refused to hit back at home fans that taunted him about being sacked during their 2-2 draw with Swansea City.

McCarthy, who limited the majority of his answers during his post-match press conference to a handful of words, refused to be drawn on his feelings regarding the Molineux fans.

"They (the fans) can react all they like, it was a great point today and I am delighted. I can't explain the comeback. We were really, really lucky," he said.

"We have played better over the previous five games and got nothing. We have needed something to get us off seven points, something to end the run of defeats. We needed a bit of luck or a bit of magic and if this proves to be a turning point I will be delighted.

"I'm not bothered. We got a point. We needed something."

McCarthy also jokingly challenged the assembled media to a fight, after being asked about his battling qualities as a manager.

"I'm up for a scrap if anyone fancies it," he said. "If someone wants one now I'll happily accommodate them."
