This is what you call a bollocking!

[Tevez]

Wrong or right thing?

(Sorry about lack of size of picture)

Hull City vs Man City.

[Uncle Albert]

Wrong.

Why did he have to give them a bollocking on the pitch? As if they werent huniliated enough, Phil Brown is a dick! All he is doing is trying to play up to Hull City supporters and all other supporters around the Country. And more importantly the media.

Why couldnt he of just got all of them in the changing rooms to give them a lecture? Then to let them back in 10 minutes later was pointless. What a clown.

[DB11]

No video? Ah well it'll be on MOTD tonight.

Anyway I agree that it did humiliate them but if it scares them into losing next time and they do better it'jj have worked. But if they work dead hard and still lose then they gonna be scared (maybe a bit of an over reaction) of him and what he'll do even if they've worked their socks off.

[Milky]

They've got the footage on the bbc sport site.

Face facts.

They were losing 4-0 to a team in the drop zone.

They'd let down their manager and thousands of fans who travelled along the M62 to watch them.

They deserved EVERYTHING that Brown gave them.

And judging by their improved showing in the second half, it looked like the message was received loud and clear.

This "clown" has taken Hull to the highest league position in their history. And he's determined to make sure their recent bad run doesn't turn into a slump.

Give the guy some respect.

[Corky]

Right.

I don't think it makes any difference. He was always going to give them a bollocking, so I don't think it matters where he gives it. Doing it in the dressing room wouldn't have changed the fact they were 4-0 down.

Face facts. Would Fergie take Utd out to the pitch if they were getting a hammering off someone? No. And if Brown was doing it to show them why didnt he do it when they were getting slaughtered by Wigan earlier in the season?

Phil Brown is a quality manager with his tactics and has done superb to get Hull to where they are but at times Brown does seem to play up to the media and do things that will get people talking.

[CosbehFox]

It will work for the better in the long time but may cause some short-term problems.

His team's let in 9 in the past two games, give him some slack.

Why are you comparing SAF to a 'clown'? I doubt he'd have done it against Wigan because most of their goals were scored in the second half (i think)

I would agree though that Brown does play up to the media although personally I wouldn't criticise him for what he did today.

I don't think ANY United team under Fergie has ever been 4-0 down at half-time.

He has been known to assault players during the interval though - remember Beckham in the cup-tie against Arsenal? Hardly an example for other managers to follow.

Couldn't tell you. Different circumstances perhaps?

Possibly so, but from what I've hears his main concern was the prospect of his team getting an absolute hiding, which could have been far worse than the eventual scoreline of 5-1.

He is no Neil Warnock or Ian Holloway, so to label him as a "clown" is unfair.

[Father Ted]

Right.

That is how a manager should be. Takes no crap and let's his feelings known. Just like Martin Allen is/was and how Pearson is, he lets his players know. The same with Fergie and all the best. That's why we went down last season, Holloway was intimidated by his players and was too busy licking Milan's bum.

THAT IS A PROPER MANAGER!

Ok then what about Wenger when they were 5-1 down to United at Old Trafford? Did he keep them out on the pitch? Nope. And Arsenal being 5-1 down at half time to United is abit more humiliating.

To call Brown a clown was a tad harsh so I will take that back and call him a media whore instead.

Good play on words but for those thinking that it's Holloway I'm referring to it's not, Walkers is just acting like a 'clown'

I don't think that's fair either.

There are managers in the Premier League and elsewhere who are far more accommodating to the media than Phil Brown.

And given Wenger's alleged antics at Villa Park this evening (which may earn him a touchline ban), I don't think he's setting a great example either.

[Guest]

Part of me think what Phil Brown was bang out of order. Part of me thinks it was bloody brilliant.

Could someone please help me get the splinters from out of bottom cheeks?

[Daggers]

I've a lot of time for Phil Brown.

Your a fine one to talk mate!

"Forums prefer a premise of open and free discussion and often adopt de facto standards. Most common topics on forums include questions, comparisons, polls of opinion as well as debates."

Isn't debating a part of a forum? If people want to discuss about whether Hull City's manager is right or wrong it's peoples discussions. Just like he has done for the time he's been on here. At least he's "debating" and making something to talk about which is right for the forum, yes?

Nobody is perfect, and **** is abit harsh and it is Christmas!

Aww poor players...must have dented there ego's for all of an hour. Well they drew the second half 1-1, seems like a bit of an improvement to me.

Ay, this lad Albert is ok.

No, on a serious note I respect the lad for always sticking up for his beliefs, although most of the time he is wrong.

He is very similar to myself in speaking his mind. I have disagreed with him on so many occasions and as I do with everyone, never hold a grudge, right or wrong.

He is a decent lad I suppose. Although I am only gathering this through his posts, not personally.

On this particular matter, I think Brown is right to do this and to demonstrate to the Hull fans what he thought of them, after all most of them would have wanted to do the same and would have probably been asking the question "What's he going to say to them at half time?"
