There’s few things that make me want to punch someone in the face more than being called a “good girl”.

Unless the person these two words are directed at is under the age of about 13, or a dog, there’s not a single scenario in which this is an acceptable turn of phrase.

When it’s most certainly not acceptable is when it’s directed at a woman who’s going about her job in exactly the same way every man in her profession does.

The particular incident in question came at the end of Celtic’s 3-1 defeat of Motherwell at Fir Park at the weekend.

They had come back from 1-0 down to win.

In Brendan Rodgers’ post-match television interview with BBC Scotland journalist Jane Lewis, the Celtic manager’s first sign of irritation came when asked about his side’s first half performance.

The interview then progressed and, when asked about the title race, Rodgers replied “the story has already been written about this group, but we will write our own story”.

Lewis pressed him to explain his remark, asking: “You don’t want to give us a bit more insight into that and what you mean?” before Rodgers repeatedly said “no”, snapping “You know exactly what I mean”.........
