A few days ago I posted regarding my long held views on managers and players doing post match interviews.<\/p>\n

After further thought, there’s a lot more wrong with the way things are done, not only at Celtic Park, but in the game itself.
\nFirstly, and most signifcantly, ththese interviews take place too soon after a game has finished.
\nTV restraints and time schedules of course have a lot to do with this but I believe that both the managers and players should have had time to wind down after a game,collect their thoughts and have time to go over contentious decisions that may or may not have had an impact on the final result.
\nAll too often it seems a microphone is thrust under a managers face within minutes of the whistle, the interviewer acutely aware through replays that certain decisions have had a massive bearing on events and the manager may just be on the edge as the question is posed, thus providing him with an off the cuff emotional remark that may later show the interviewee was wrong, and has just made a fool of himself.
\nFor me anyway a cooling off period should be given.
\nThe manager should have the opportunity to review the footage and time to evaluate the situation if indeed there has been one. This would allow him to ask a few questions of his own.<\/p>\n

Especially where the more contentious game changing events are concerned.
\nAny post match sensationalism, which is what the tv companies want, could be added to by bringing in \u00a0referees \u00a0to do post match summaries so they too can explain their decision making during games when contentious incidents have occurred and they have been forced to make a judgement call that has affected the game as a result.
\nGive them a good 45 minutes to review and perhaps even re evaluate any wrong call they may have made. Or, indeed, any right call.
\nThis I believe could go a long way to nipping any of the usual conspiracy theories from forming regarding bias and honest mistakes. and it could also cut down on the abuse of the appeal system, when clubs appeal knowing they will lose, but allowing a player to play in an important game.
\nAll to often managers run off at the mouth and end up on a disrepute charge as a result.whereas refs make their calls and that’s the last you hear \u00a0about it even if they have obviously made a mistake.
\nNever accountable ,never approachable and ultimately above resolving the matter.
\nIf a ref came out held his hands up and said “Look on review I have called it wrong there and have apologised to the injured party” then most would be able to accept that and move on. It would also earn them a degree of respect that isn’t there at the moment.
\nThis setup needs reviewed as I believe it would allow us all to calm down and move on that wee bit quicker if things were dealt with in a calm rational manner.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it would make everyone accountable, and involve a degree of transparency not always apparent in the game.<\/p>\n

Just think, a manager and a referee discussing how the game went.<\/p>\n

Live on television after they have both prepared their arguments.<\/p>\n

And then they could take it in turns to punch Neil McCann or Pat Nevin.<\/p>\n

No reason, just because they would be there.<\/p>\n

If Celtic are to improve their current PR, they need to take control of the media. A delay in post match interviews will be a start. \u00a0Even just a few more minutes to allow the boss to compose himself and structure his comments .<\/p>\n

Failing that, he could do them in Norwegian.<\/p>\n
