McCarthy’s fairytale ending turns to tragedy

MICK McCARTHY is rarely one to mince his words. On Saturday Mark Halsey was on the receiving end of some no-nonsense Yorkshire words of wisdom from the Wolves manager after his side’s 2-1 defeat.

McCarthy accused referee Halsey of getting two big decisions wrong after watching his side slump to a fourth consecutive Barclays Premier League defeat.

Trailing 2-0 in the first half to goals from Demba Ba and Jonas Gutierrez, Halsey first failed to spot a clear foul by Steven Taylor on Jamie O’Hara inside the area.
