The fallout of Celtic’s win over Motherwell has virtually enraged a positive set of soccer supporters this weekend.
Or to be more precise, it’s what Brendan Rodgers said after the match that has enraged a positive set of supporters now. Especially talkSPORT presenter Jim White.
White is famously a huge Rangers supporter and after Rodgers refused to explain his comments regarding a ‘story being written’ from the media about Celtic this season, White used to be searching very pissed off on the radio show. Especially after what he heard Martin O’Neill say.
In this afternoon’s episode on talkSPORT, White was getting a wee bit extra agitated than normal about the Celtic manager’s feedback and after hearing what Martin O’Neill said about Rodgers’ feedback only appeared to further annoy the talkSPORT presenter.
When requested what he thinking of Rodgers’ comments about a ‘story being written’ about Celtic yesterday, O’Neill used to be very upfront and honest.
O’Neill: “I suppose my take on that there is that Celtic have been dominant for so lengthy that human beings start to assume that Rangers have not solely closed the gap but have truly long gone past them.
“You’re speaking about the immediately aftermath of the sport that Celtic have received by means of the way, didn’t play so well in the first 1/2 however then came roaring lower back and won the game.
“The most necessary component is the hole ought to have stayed at 5 points with level video games suddenly and now it’s returned to two.
“From an backyard viewpoint, it is sincerely excellent for the for the recreation in Scotland. However, I think what Brendan intended was once that humans are speeding to conclusions right here or rush to judgement should say, that there almost the feeling that Rangers are going to overtake them this season and that they have their very own story still to right.
“I’m without a doubt thrilled as nicely too that he obtained a bit prickly. I’ve executed interviews that I’ve regretted. And I have bought to say I was once simply thrilled that he received a bit prickly.
White: “Did he have to Simon? Did he have to? Had he no longer answered that the way Martin has just given us his take on it? If he’d answer that like that?”
O’Neil: “Like what? I would have performed the same thing.”
White: “You would have carried out the equal thing? Like a chip on his shoulder?”
O’Neill: “Yeah, yeah.”
White: “Why?”
O’Neill: “Because I sense as if, ‘Hold on. You are attempting to write some thing here. There’s still a quantity of video games left. We can win this league. We can do it.’
“I think that’s the point he was once trying to get at”
Martin O’Neill is for sure correct. Celtic are being written off via some sections of the Scottish media after their recent slip-ups however what many are forgetting is that this title is nonetheless in our very own hands.
Two factors with two Glasgow Derbies left to go is nothing and after gazing Celtic combat to a deserved win the day gone by afternoon, it would be folly to write of the Parkhead club just yet.
With Dundee and Hearts up next for Celtic, some other six points will go a long way to make the media narrative about us appear certainly silly now.
