    One of the best interviews i've heard, good probing questions and a manager bristling with agression leads to a must listen interview. I thought McCalls views on the first half were spot on, his views on the second were well off. Seems unusually under pressure for so early in the season. Like his passion but seemed way too defensive when questioned about transfers.

    Don't mention the strikers!

    Signings clearly a touchy issue for McCall at the moment going off that interview. To be fair I believe that the club have attempted to sign the players mentioned in the T&A article, but i'm a little bit dubious about the alleged reasons why they haven't signed for us. If somebody is reluctant to drop down from league one to league two surely the standard protocol is to offer them a bit more money to sweeten the deal?

    Passion in a post match interview means SFA if it isn't displayed by the players in a game. He's not gonna pass on his passion by osmosis. Way too defensive towards the end there yes. Fair play to the lads for asking the questions.

    I thought it was a good interview from the Radio Leeds interviewer. And he certainly got under SMc's skin at times.

    It was interesting what SMc said about possible PL loanees. Our approaches seem to have resulted in a not just yet response and we might get back to you. But only a minute earlier he had been praising the two PL loanees in the Lincoln team. Didn't it make him question why Lincoln had been successful in attracting PL loanees and we couldn't do that? It did me!

    I didn't get the impression he was defending anything. He sounded angry with the performance, and even angrier about the transfer situation.

    He wants a player who can play rb, cb and cm all in one apparently.
    I feel for him really on transfers becasue he's being thrown under a bus. I can't imagine their is much leadership going on above McCall and with only Kenny really as any kind of support then what else can he do?

    That match was awfully disappointing. Game over really in the first 6 minutes. Ahaha sort of have to laugh, it was one of the worst performances I’ve seen.

    My wee lads first match he’s actually sat down and watched with me, couldn’t bare to put him through it all so turned off the game at 60 minutes in and stuck some cartoons on for him.

    Losing it already, he might walk saturday at this rate.

    Well perhaps not, but that was a shocker of an interview and quite needlessly aggressive , No more Mr super cool! Maybe the penny is starting to drop

    Yeah i spotted that faux pas. Moaning about fans going on about transfers, must be patient we can't ask Tonttenham to just give us their players then in the same breath praising the premiership loanees that Licoln had brought in. Make your mind up, how about getting on to the powers above and ask why our premiership loanees are still yet to be delivered but Lincoln's are already having an effect? Too much for the ipad to do i guess.

    I just finished listening, I don’t think the end of that interview will help with player morale behind the scenes.

    He definitely said the game could have been counted as over after 6 minutes, and said there was no way we were going to make a game of it at 4-0 down at half time.

    That's pretty definitive to me that he wasn't defending the performance. Pointing out a couple of positives is probably more for balance than to defend the performance.

    Not sure. Just sounded pissed off but in a diplomatic kind of way. I thought his honesty regarding his team in the first half was admirable. He didn't back em nor did he specifically call individuals out.

    Only because he’s been asked about transfers every pre and post match interview since pre-season. I imagine it’s starting to grate a bit having to repeat the same answer.
