McCarthy hits out at 'idiot' fans

ENGLAND - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has hit out at the "mindless idiots" among the club's fans who jeered his substitutions in the 2-2 home draw with promoted Swansea City at the weekend.

McCarthy's team have slumped to 16th in the English Premier League after a poor run of results and some supporters chanted "you don't know what you're doing" during Saturday's match.

"There were lots of dissenting quarters but I'm overthat," the former Ireland defender told the club's website on the eve of yesterday's League Cup fourth-round tie with Manchester City. "Let's not give any credit (to the) dissenting voices, the mindless idiots that do it."

Wolves were 2-0 down to Swansea when McCarthy brought on Nenad Milijas and Adlene Guedioura for Adam Hammill and Matt Jarvis. The substitutions worked.
