Incredibly TalkSPORT and the Daily Mail were among the first media outlets to cry foul after Brendan Rodgers said the words ‘good girl’ to conclude an interview with Jane Lewis for BBC Scotland.
Both of those red meat organisations are the first to wade in against snowflake culture as they like to term it but seeing the opportunity to put the boot into Celtic was too good an opportunity to miss.
When it comes to interviewing anyone connected to Celtic Jane Lewis isn’t really the person that you chose, there is a reason that Sky Sports steer Kris Boyd clear of speaking directly to any Celtic players or Rodgers.
The reporter is a bitter rangers supporter who can’t act professionally. Rodgers rightly put her in her place.

Pre-match Rodgers had to correct Lewis for misquoting him when she asked about ‘Celtic now having to concentrate on themselves’. As the manager stated that has always been the case, they have no control or influence on results elsewhere.
It is standard stuff from every boss but Lewis picked up Friday’s comment and decided to put it to the Celtic manager rather than ask about the tactical changes to his side at Motherwell or Stephen Welsh disappearing from the 19 strong matchday squad.
After Celtic’s dramatic late victory the BBC reporter wanted to focus fully on the first half, she basically ignored Rodgers’ answers to keep on beating her drum over the poor first 45 minutes from the visitors at Fir Park.
BBC Scotland also pay Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Alasdair Lamont, Neil McCann, Kenny Miller and Steven Thompson to follow similar thinking.
Sensing that the interview was virtually pointless Rodgers finished up with a ‘good girl’ comment, pre match on Sky Sports he had concluded an interview with ‘good man’.
He could have taken Lewis apart at her obvious pain over Celtic’s late victory, cutting the gap at the top of the table from five points to two.
As a freelance TalkSPORT and the Daily Mail have failed to commission Lewis for any work, it seems that BBC Scotland is the only outlet that values her skill-set.
Since Rodgers returned to Celtic in June BBC Scotland haven’t been invited to any pre-match media conferences for domestic matches.
He said “good man” to a male interviewer in the previous interview to this one. Not sure what the problem is. ????

She purposely misquoted him before the game and he had to chin her, then she kept picking away for an “explanation” of something hes been clear about for weeks.
She played for the reaction and she got one. Play silly games win silly prizes.
And shes also a Hun, so theres that.

She’s asked a silly question and he basically told her to do one. What’s wrong with that.

They’ll be singing “we’re up to our knees in cisgenderers blood but still we follow on” next week.
Mibbes naw.
If they go to Lesbos we will follow on.
LMAO
What has happened to your articles, only the first paragraph is coming up.
Only in the Scoddish meedja particularly the cabal of huns at BBC sport would someone so talentless get a job as a “journalist”..
BTW. She gets VERY defensive when it’s pointed out to her the number of ex hun players employed at BBC Sport Scotland.
Motherwell fan my arse!
I have to laugh at the cowardly, hypocrisy and double standards of the WOKE, the feminist Soy boys and their interactionalist feminist allies.
A man simply states an off the cuff remark in the form of “Good Girl” at the end of an interview, and he’s unfairly labelled as a sexist by the wannbe offended, need to be offended brigade, but the very same movement (the WOKE), show how cowardly and hypocritical that they are, as they willing volunteer to participated in the biggest act of misogyny that is currently being forced upon women worldwide today, when they chose to help psychology deranged men (to identity as women) in order to take away women’s rights by enabling them to invade women’s spaces using Blackrock’s DEI as a shield to hide behind
