"Became" ?


Yes, you are right.

Became extremely verbally abusive.


I think Charles was saying that O'Leary is _always_ that way...

I don't recall ever seeing him not in slagging mode (which I suspect
the man from Middlesex did subtly acknowledge) but then that probably
would not be regarded as newsworthy.

[I dunno whether that's true, though O'Leary does seem to be a
full-time douchebag.]
