Martin O'Neill - BBC1, 9.00

eirebhoy

There's an hour long documentary about Martin O'Neill in 20 minutes on BBC1 for anyone who's interested. It's supposed to be very good.

Thanks i have a look at it. Heard about this the other day. sounds interesting.

smemon

just showed what a great character he is. he's loved at celtic by everyone and deservedly so.

it's remarkable people still question his achievements as a manager and play him down. he's one of the nice guys in football and imo one of the best.

met him in galway once by complete accident in a hotel i was staying in, he was staying there because leicster had pre-seson friendlies. asked for his autograph expecting a wee scribble on paper and that would be it. he actually chatted for a few minutes and got a picture.

very nice fella and celtic are the perfect club for him.

The mans a legend, As he is a celtic supporter - i think it would be hard for him to leave the club and hope that he will stay at Celtic for a long time...

but I was over for the rangers match just a few weeks back and there was a lot talk about him buying a house in London <? Maybe just rumours ?>.. and you can see in the program, that he was trying to keep his daughter quiet when she talking about clubs... its getting worrying..

Not exactly a hard-hitting expose! A bit like the 70th birthday show of Sir Bobby Robson - soft and cuddly!

i also heard that runour as well when i was over for the hun match in bairds
think thats all it was tbh
but then as you pionted out there he was defo trying to keep his daughter quiet.
and then when jackie fullerton was asking him does he see himself signing a contract again he didnt say yes or no but changed the subject.....
startin to get worried now so i am .... like if he does go its going to be hard for the fans to accept, but at the end of the day he had to be replaced , but by who lets be honest ?

hopefully

leaping martin still be there for the forseeable future

The Rooster

The wife seemed a right moany old hoor. Complaining about all the moves she's had to make - what's that? - 1 move in about 7 years??

As I've said before she's doing her very best to get out of Glasgow, with London being the preferred destination. Without her in the mix, you could see O'Neill staying in Celtic forever. Although winning the Champions League is obviously his ultimate managerial ambition.

Spurs seems to be off the cards now with Arnesen signed up. The Liverpool rumours are dying a little, and will dissipate completely if Dalglish gets a Director of Football type role. Though its not certain that Kenny will get a job, and if he did and it was just ambassadorial then O'Neill might not be put off.

Maybe there'll be a big surprise with Chelsea?? Maybe Celtic have done enough work behind the scenes in the last 2 or 3 weeks to help him change his mind??

It was a good programme and I liked it a lot .

as a younger footballing fan , I knew he had played for forest but I didnt know he was a European cup winner(twice) , and a Northern Ireland captain .
