Martin O’Neill says current Ireland assistant manager Keith Andrews “hasn’t done anything in the game”. PatKenny
Martin O’Neill has said it was hard to take criticism from current Ireland assistant manager Keith Andrews because he “actually hasn’t done anything in the game”.this morning.
“But sometimes then when a player comes in; when a player who should know a little bit better is criticising, then that’s tough. He said Andrews criticised his team for relying on set pieces and suggested “quite a number” of the current team’s goals arrive the same way.He said he never got on with the press in Ireland and when he was asked if that was because he was born in the North, he said: “Well, I was called a Northerner on a number of occasions”.
“We played badly my last year, absolutely right, so you deserve any criticism that is coming but I didn’t honestly think any of it was from the fans,” he said.O’Neill said he faced an “outpouring of vitriol” after Ireland were hammered 5-1 at home by Denmark in the World Cup playoff and also felt unfairly blamed for Declan Rice’s decision to play for England.
