Speaking to Thomas Mlambo on Metro FM's Ultimate Sports Show, McCarthy revealed what caused him to go off at coach Tembo in the DStv Premiership. Apparently, Tembo called McCarthy a c*** and it made him very upset, according to The South African.

"I said if he thinks he has any right to call me what he did, the next time I won’t be as kind," said coach McCarthy.

McCarthy said that Kaitano Tembo overstepped his boundaries and there was no way he was going to let it go. He also spoke about how people always expect him to react. He felt that what was said to him was the ultimate form of disrespect.
