“In Northern Ireland, we say ‘good girl’ all the time,” Eamonn Holmes | OneFootball

Eamonn Holmes has leapt to the defence of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, explaining that the phrase “good girl” is commonly used throughout the six counties.

“Brendan Rodgers is from Carnlough in Northern Ireland. We say ‘good girl’ all the time,” the ex-This Morning now GB News presenter said, as reported by Belfast Telegraph. “We are admonished for it all the time because it’s not contemporary. I can honestly tell you that Northern Irish people will say ‘good girl, good boy, good lad.”

Meanwhile former Celtic manager Neil Lennon – another Irishman hailing from the six counties – had his say via PLZ Soccer on what the current Celtic manager had to say to the BBC about the football narrative that is being created, and he can’t find fault with Brendan’s approach to this at the weekend.

Lennon said: “I would have done the same. Batten down the hatches. Don’t let anything out, don’t let anything in. It’s all about us and we will create our own story. And, ignore the noise. It’s difficult but the noise isn’t the reality.

“I mean they have had two defeats, haven’t they? I think Rangers have had four. So it’s the draws that are killing them at the minute. You are looking at it at half time and you are thinking it’s not good. The response was great. I think Idah gave them something they lacked – that physical presence.

“They have needed that type of striker for these physical games. So they just have to keep rolling, and I like Brendan Rodgers reaction.”

With everything going on in the world at the moment, BBC Radio Scotland this morning actually had an hour long phone in on ‘Good-Girl-Gate’ as they invite a pile on to suit their agenda. Apparently their female journalist who was interviewing the Celtic manager after his side’s crucial 3-1 victory against Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday afternoon, is unfazed by the remark made by Rodgers.

Yesterday we reminded Celtic supporters of Archie Macpherson’s revelations about his time going into BBC Scotland to find an institution that was both anti-Catholic and anti-Celtic to its core. It provides great context when considering the motives of the publicly funded broadcaster, with its large number of former Ibrox players working on their football output.
