Great article and comments from Lubo Moravcik, the former Celtic midfielder in the Scottish Herald and he has picked out perfectly what MON is like and why we like him.
Some choice quotes which we can all recognise as being the MON ‘style’
“With Martin we sometimes did not play the best football but we could score goals and people were happy. They want to see goals, they want to see action. They want to see us win,” he said.
“I remember many games when we just scored goals from corners and free-kicks,” he said of the O’Neill era.
“I watched the first half of Aston Villa v Reading in the FA Cup ,” he said of the tie where O’Neill’s side went in at the interval two goals down. “I said to my friend: ‘I do not want to be in the dressing room. I know what will happen. Martin is not happy. I saw his face’.”
He added: “Martin was clear with me.” Moravcik spoke of his manager’s orders about the midfielder not doing what he wanted. He said: ‘If you do that, I kick you up the bum’.
