Hull City boss Phil Brown forced his players into a humiliating
halftime team talk - ON THE EASTLANDS PITCH - yesterday.
Brown said: “We had around 4,000 fans who deserved some
explanation for that first-half performance and it’s difficult to
do that from the dressing room.”
Brown stopped the team from heading inside and instead led them
to the visiting end.
They applauded their supporters then sat down while their
manager gave them a blasting before finally heading to the dressing
room.
Yet they were not able to get too comfortable as Brown also sent
them out early for the start of the second half.
He said: “People have arranged their Christmas and Boxing Day
around this game and I felt they deserved an apology for that
first-half show.
“It was unacceptable behaviour and unacceptable from a Phil
Brown side.
"It was nice and cold and we needed to do it to keep them
alive.”
