'I never won over the media. I don’t know why, but I said in my book I was made to feel like an outsider. I was called the Ulsterman.'
Derry native Martin O’Neill believes an anti-Ulster agenda in the press was a constant during his time in charge of the Republic of Ireland alongside Roy Keane with the Republic of Ireland.
The subsequent World Cup qualifying campaign ended with a horrendous 5-1 defeat at home to Denmark in the play-offs and after the Nations League campaign in 2018 ended in relegation, O’Neill and Keane left the job. “It’s right up there with everything I did. But I never won over the media. I don’t know why, but I said in my book I was made to feel like an outsider. I was called the Ulsterman, I’ve tried to explain this… just recently I heard an Irish commentator saying we have had outsiders as managers, we had Trapattoni and we had O’Neill.
