Celtic TV

and i pretty much nailed what everything he then did go on to say i didn't have him saying we could have scored six or seven dead easy and that was even beyond my expectations but um

yeah the interesting thing was i think if you did you i don't know if you've seen the celtic tv uh post-match interview which is generally a load of nonsense and nothing much controversial.

But the interviewer, even on Celtic TV, seemed to turn on the criticism a little bit.

And he was saying like, you know, Martin, yeah, I know we had all these chances and all that, but do you not think we bring a lot of these problems on ourselves by not defending, et cetera, et cetera? And Martin O'Neill kind of bristled a bit at that.

So I think you'll find probably the guy interviewing him won't be doing it again next week.

But it's interesting that even the Celtic TV interviewers are starting to have a go.

I wonder is Tanner Baugh a friendly figure there or not? It's hard to say.

Yeah.

get

arrogant to that it's like I'm I'm fully but I've bought into the idea that whatever the media training is at Celtic it is purely on the like let's propaganda is the way forward like it spans from everywhere from Celtic TV to manager exclusive interviews and now it seemingly has made its way into player interviews like I feel like they have to just say this like it'll wash with a very select percentage of the supporters and like I don't know it's just I just feel like there is a proper propaganda network in place to try and excuse what's every problem that comes up it sounds great I wish I had a

propaganda network

so

Was really unhappy with that first half performance, but then thought of how rejuvenated Martin O'Neill feels and that lame scales is Irish.

And then Celtic TV reminded me that we were good in Europe just six decades ago.

Maybe I'm just an ungrateful sod.

That ties in quite a few of the points already made, Brian.

I would be surprised if O'Neill's still on a job by January, by the end of January, to be honest, if we don't change the midfield.

if we insist on playing with two strikers either side of them instead of with two proper wingers that we have at our disposal.

Did anyone hear, sorry David, last night, He was in commentary on Celtic TV.

Granty was on.

There's an archive

on Celtic TV, Alan.

You've got plenty of free time.

You can go back and redo those

How does that compare to your experience of attending sports stateside?

Yeah, and even though I haven't been to a home match for Celtic, certainly the Celtic TV experience for any North Americans or anyone across the world not in the UK or Ireland is certainly you get the full Celtic experience of not getting your value for your money with feeds frequently getting cut for whatever reason, no score bugs with the time or score, no the audio going in and out, the audio being ahead of the action, being behind the video.

So yeah, so even from Celtic TV, you don't get that experience.

But comparing American sports and Celtic and other clubs in the UK, it's interesting because like I mentioned, I think American teams, a lot of times they're trying to get as much money out of the team as they can, their ownership and the front office.

But they don't do that kind of in a outwardly capitalistic way, like just charging a higher price for everything.

No, in a good way.

In the last couple of weeks, obviously, we came back from the international break and he sat down with Celtic TV and he said, those three results aren't the end of the world.

I mean, to kind of underplay just how bad the results are for not only that run of games, but for the season.

We're out of the first tournament, the first opportunity of silverware.

Martin O'Neill speaking.

I know he spoke to Celtic TV, but that aside, speaking publicly, uh, for the first time about his decision to stay.

Says it was an easy decision.

Says if there hadn't been an international break to mull it over, he probably wouldn't even have mentioned it and would have just cracked on.

See, when you're talking about the home commentary almost being biased, that actually puts me off.

If I'm ever watching Celtic on Celtic TV, the Celtic TV commentary actually puts me off because they're so biased.

I'm like, just fucking comment on the game that you're watching.

You don't have to make things that are not real because you're a Celtic man.

I, I said a couple of weeks ago, this is the most likely outcome of what would happen.

There was a lot of noise, there was a lot of speculation, but I just had a feeling that we were always gonna get this Martin O'Neill Celtic TV interview in which he kind of tries to move on from that press conference after the Rangers game, which I think we can all agree was not Martin O'Neill's best press conference in his life, where he kind of doubted himself a little bit.

He said he had to have time to reflect.

It raised all sorts of furore around his future and, like, how he's feeling and whether he's best suited to take Celtic on.

Martin O'Neill wants to continue.

That's what we now know.

Um, he sat down with Paul Cudihy, uh, in about a 10-minute interview on Celtic TV last night, and this was the, the, the result, really.

He said, "You can lose to your archrivals.
