1
Martin, just before we went to that interview we were talking about Kieran Tierney saying
2
that this felt the most special of his trophy wins, his title wins.
3
Didn't say that.
4
He did, he did.
5
And I imagine with everything going on around about it,
6
it's been such a difficult season.
7
How do you sum it up?
8
How do you reflect on what you have managed to achieve?
9
Well, I managed this lad.
10
He was a major problem to me.
11
Thankfully you didn't have him this season.
12
I did.
13
I had a great team then.
14
Really, really great side.
15
And, you know, that team,
16
his team, won the matches for me.
17
And this is exactly what this team has done.
18
They've won the games for me.
19
And the coaching staff have been sensational.
20
The players, what I think about it,
21
is that Celtic today, when there's unison in this stadium, it's rocking.
22
And they never gave up.
23
Maybe I did, but maybe they didn't.
24
I was going to say they've not made it easy for you there's been so many late winners,
25
late moments a late moment here today
26
but ultimately you've found form right at the right time to go and win the title it's a good point
27
I'm never sure about momentum I'm never sure about it
28
because the lads will tell you that can change in an instant
29
and people kept saying we had momentum but we were striving hard and if you'd asked me before we played Rangers,
30
could I take it into the final day,
31
I would have bitten your arm off.
32
Not sure which one, but I would have bitten your arm off.
33
And so we did it here.
34
And if Hearts had gone and get the result,
35
we couldn't do anything more.
36
They put absolutely heart and soul into the game.
37
Heart and soul into it.
38
And the one thing I do,
39
we know, we make plenty of mistakes with this great,
40
great courage within the team.
41
I'm not saying physical courage,
42
I'm talking about mental, mental courage,
43
which has carried us over the line.
44
How much of that has had to come from you, from your guidance?
45
Honestly, I'm a bit part in proceedings.
46
I am.
47
The coaching, the coaching staff,
48
you've got all the lads, they've been magnificent.
49
but you have to have a response to that.
50
Now I think to myself,
51
I just think, they see me every day,
52
the players, and they think,
53
he's a terribly old man.
54
And they think, what's he doing here among us?
55
Well, what has happened is that they've given me,
56
they've given me a rejuvenation, seriously rejuvenated.
57
And it's nice, you know,
58
way back in October, I was just having a coffee in the King's Road down in London,
59
kind of enjoying retirement although never enjoying a retirement I get a call to come back
60
and then I get a call again in January time
61
and it's been I obviously I thought the days here of
62
me lifting a trophy at Celtic Park in front of these fans is well
63
and truly gone I mean you've enjoyed tonight yes what about next season though
64
because everybody's saying well you know this is to be martin's last season you've got the cup final next week
65
but i know you've got the appetite
66
for it but have you have you got the energy to go again it's a good point chris
67
and a serious point i just don't know i i really
68
don't know it does it does take its toll honestly i mean
69
when you boys ever get to my age
70
which i hope you don't it'll be you look so young boys honestly you do Look at you, Brian.
71
You look immaculate.
72
You know, so I was- You have to be used to all day long.
73
I was riding you off most weeks.
74
I know.
75
A bit like when I played.
76
You are the worst judge that has ever, ever lived.
77
Here's one, Brian.
78
I have no idea why they put you off, honestly.
79
I think a lot of people feel the same.
80
But you know, after Dundee- When I watched your team's asses, it's the same.
81
And this is my chance to say to you,
82
you were fantastic for me.
83
You were fantastic for me.
84
Absolutely fantastic.
85
So my chance to say that.
86
Thank you.
87
You were fantastic.
88
But you know after...
89
Don't ask me another question.
90
Just ask last one.
91
After Dundee United, when you said we had to win seven.
92
Honestly, I was thinking that's going to be really difficult, not an impossible.
93
Did you actually believe that yourself?
94
Well, it meant having...
95
I thought to myself, yeah, we probably had to...
96
It might have been able to slip in a draw somewhere.
97
It wasn't to be.
98
That was in the back of my mind thinking,
99
well, maybe, maybe, you know,
100
with hearts playing Rangers, hearts playing kids,
101
things like this here, I just thought the games might be really difficult and they might not win the matches.
102
But I know we had to win them all,
103
which I wouldn't have thought really at that stage.
104
Matt, we can measure what you've done here because you see lifting the trophy,
105
the fans around the place.
106
What's it done for you?
107
What has it done for me?
108
Honestly, it's given me a lease of life.
109
I think I was with you here this time last year on this very spot,
110
talking to Brendan about winning it.
111
And I've got to tell you,
112
I was really jealous, really jealous.
113
Honestly, Brendan, really jealous of people collecting the trophy.
114
And I thought, not for one minute did I ever think I'd be back here
115
so last year you carried the trophy out this year he carried it out what's that say
116
I'm retiring as well what are you saying he says last year you carried the trophy out
117
and then I've done it this year
118
did you carry it in did you not see me it
119
was amazing I was amazing I managed to put on the plaque itself you've got enough trophies
120
listen Martin as well I have to say we've been sitting here in the stadium
121
and there have been so many banners with your name on it
122
so many lovely messages from supporters how heartwarming has it been to come back
123
and then to deliver on a serious note it's just been
124
fantastic honestly I really can't take it in at this minute
125
it has been really sensational for me genuinely I just can't I really can't believe it
126
When did you know that you had it?
127
When did I know?
128
When Callum Osmond...
129
Not until that moment.
130
No, no, absolutely.
131
You didn't believe it until that moment.
132
Absolutely not.
133
Absolutely.
134
What a finish.
135
And what a season it's been.
136
And just a word on hearts,
137
how far they've pushed you,
138
how much they've pushed you.
139
Honestly, it's very, very easy to be patronising and sycophanting.
140
They've been magnificent.
141
They are the big story of this season.
142
They are really the big story of this season because they've come here.
143
I don't know whatever happened,
144
Celtic and Rangers, but at the end of the day, they've come.
145
They've come with like terrific, really, really terrific.
146
And they deserve all the credit.
147
The manager's been fantastic.
148
He deserves the manager of the year.
149
He's been brilliant and hearts have been brilliant.
150
They've been really.
151
Now, it's very easy for me to say this,
152
but I'm hoping that I would have said this had they had taken the championship.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
