This man is a perfect example of a rehabilitated human being. He made mistakes and has clearly learnt from them and is a credit to himself as a result. Excellent insight and content
I had the immense privilege of having a coffee and a "one to one" chat with Davie. A "meeting" set up by my son Mark. I have supported Livi since 1996 and a season ticket holder on and off since then. I truly admired David's passion for Livi and his openess about his past. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Good on him for grabbing that. He's doing a great job with limited resources. God bless you and your family Dave
A proper manager who is wholly invested in Livingston fc, very brave in opening up his family life. Wish him and his team every success and hope they get top six and earn some better money. Good luck from a cfc supporter.
As a fan off one of the Glasgow Giants .I think wholeheartedly that David is one of the gentlemen of the premiership. Doesn't bullshit just straight down the line .Breath of fresh air .
People deserve a second chance in life. His life is similar to mine 19 years ago. I was released from Dartmoor after serving 3 years first offence if people didn't give me a chance i don't know where I would be in life. A very likeable man who has his drive back. Great video Adam 👍
Impossible to hate Martindale and Livingston fc. He’s done a great job since taking over and it’s great to see such a small Scottish club with small finances doing so well. As someone who has made mistakes very similar to his in my past and who is still judged for it after 11 years, it’s nice to see him making something of himself. All the best to Livingston and him for the rest of the season, hoping they get the chance of European football to help with the finances 🧡🖤
Great fly on the wall piece. DM should be the poster child for rehabilitated prisoners. He had achieved a lot and is humble yet thankful. He’s hungry to succeed and players seeking a 2nd chance will only blossom. I’m pleased for the fella, we all screw up things in life but it’s not how you fall but how you get up.
"Acceptance not forgiveness" is very powerful and for people who've had issues in life where they've stepped over the wrong line, worth remembering to be consumed as a big positive.
Amazing. Need more team managers to do this likes. Am from Edinburgh but stay in bathgate. I have friends in jail but to see someone come out and change their life's is outstanding likes. One manager I really like. If he had more money I believe Livingston could be 4th 3rd. My two bhoys support Livingston. Amazing club. Everyone deserves a second chance
impressed .....immensely, he comes across as an honest grafter who is considerably more astute than people give him credit for, and very possibly an original diamond in the rough. Well done David Martindale.
I'm a Celtic fan. But I'd honestly like to go to a couple of livi games just to show my support to the club. They are all doing something very admirable and showing immense loyalty. I wish them all the best, which is not something I'd say for a lot of the teams in our league.
Would love to see how David Martindale would do at a Hibernian /Aberdeen /Dundee United with a better budget. Hope he gets the opportunity, he deserves it.
Good intelligent thinker of the game, very impressed with the guy, he enjoys what he does at livingston and is not looking any further than that, I am sure he will have success whatever he does in the future
Great documentary with Davy and PLZ great story from Davys past to present shows how you can turn your life around with as Davy said hard work, bang on must be very hard to be a manager in this industry today, go on Davy all the best for the future positive thinking everytime that's how you do it not feeling sorry for himself well sometimes ask his dog, 👏👏👍
The mad thing is livi could have a decent fan base . West lothians quite a big area. It's just a shame about 60% of people frm west Lothian support rangers , 15% celtic fans about another 15% hearts fans and the small 10% are livi fans . Just need to keep doing wht we are doing and try and focus on the next generation of youths and try and get them supporting livi.
A very clever man who obviously learns from some of his previous poor decisions. A man who is able to reflect, take responsibility, move on in a positive mindset, change, and evolve in the right direction which obviously brings him great satisfaction and success, both in his career and family life.
Great insight into what it's like for managers ,cant imagine Mourinho or Guardiola getting the tools out etc ,people might slate scottish football but it's only missing the finances ,what you've got that the EPL etc lost a long time ago is the real heart and soul of football, great stuff Plz
Livingston are arguably the best run club in Scotland. 1000 fans and got promoted twice and stabilised in the top league despite losing their best players. All down to this guy pretty much.
Great wee video and well done Davy on getting on in life and the job you're doing at livvy,so deserve a bigger job in the future but before that sort the pitch out 😂
Gary Holt joined our boys club team Loudoun Valley u14-u16 before leaving for the Army, but found it hard to get a regular starting slot due to myself and two others being difficult to dislodge but he was a great bloke and a right grafter.Just think Gary it was me who kept you out and I did you a favour as you were spotted playing for the army team by Pat Crerand.Gary Holt Scottish Cup winner,English Premiership player and Scottish Internationaist not bad for a wee guy fae gostin Best wishes Gary fae wee budgie🤓
what a guy I remember when the media tried to destroy him because he'd been in jail when he was younger but he faced it head on he's been honest about his past there's worse than him in the game without naming any names I'm sure if we had to dip into a few players and managers past we'd be shocked at what we'd find ... what martindale has done at Livingston is outstanding let's not forget livi has the lowest budget in the league what he's had to work with is remarkable .. I would love to see him somehow win the league cup or scottish cup if st Johnstone can do the double then anything is possible...the guy is top class ...
I'm a Celtic fan, but I like and respect Martindale he doesn't have that inherent bitterness that many sevco fans and players have. We all make mistakes, but the guy shouldn't be defined by his mistakes. He also works with players from Rangers and Celtic backgrounds despite the fact he is a Rangers fan. Martindale could well manage Scotland one day, I really believe that as he has that wee eccentric streak that I think helps at International football, he has that quirkiness that someone like Klop has. Decent bloke
Good luck to this guy I think he will go far, everbody deserves a second chance and Davie is taking it by the reins, promising things coming ahead. Might need to slow down on the lingo right enough other clubs might not understand our accent lol good luck m8. (Rangers fan)
Hi guys, Murray from ibrox here, daughters UA-cam handle just incase ur wondering lol, I really enjoyed the insight into davie martindale, however it could have been more in depth, I'd liked to have seen some of his coaching methods, a 30 minuet video from a week filming, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, well done really enjoyed it, although I expected a more detailed video, is there more to follow maybe
The only thing that let him down was his past or he would have got the rangers job we all know he rangers daft but i suppose everyone has a past good manager tho
And that shows the intolerance and snobbery of people. The man used his past to put himself through university for a degree and get his coaching badges.
Does anyone think that it’s a good idea for him to be showing his strategies and his knowledge of what he does before he faces his opposition at the weekend?
Apart from that, he’s an amazing manager and what he has done to make the turn around for Livi is outstanding, have to praise him from being a livi boy
The man is a great manager and a credit to Livi. The club doesn't even own its stadium and the land around it. So the fact he the manager and helping on building jobs around ground is brilliant. If I had the money, i would love to pump a bit into this club. So long as he stayed a while lol
Great dedication and well done to him. But talk about killing the beautiful game with tactics & analysis. To play good sport your mind must be free. 99% of goals come from men not getting picked up ,(mainly wingers who get 10 yards). Down to their zone football, but these modern coaches never talk about that or remedy it. Watch Big match revisited and compare it to the robot stuff of today.

Pre season for some teams in terms of the training schedule, the diet, difference with normal training, ball work, other workouts.

The lad has done well , more power to him for constantly struggling to better himself 👍
What a guy. Asset to the Scottish game, lucky to have him. Universally appreciated across all clubs.

Genuine and authentic with a glug of humility and honesty … 👍 David 👍 from Ayr fan
Well done davie takes alot to fight for yourself in this country and you stuck it out pal
Probably the best football documentary i've watched. Absolutely superb.

I stay local to Livi mate and definitely going to start taking the kid along to games from now on
Why do celtic fans always start sentences with "I'm a celtic fan but..."?
You live in Livingston and choose to support Celtic, dont you?
To all at PLZ, a really fantastic podcast you should be proud of this one and I hope that you make many more along the same lines
Would love to see how David Martindale would do at a Hibernian /Aberdeen /Dundee United with a better budget.
Hope he gets the opportunity, he deserves it.
Went to uni with Davey. A tremendous baller and a great guy.
Hopefully more docs like this around the other clubs in the league outstanding content what a guy martindale is
Brilliant Doco, top man Davie Martindale. Would love to see him at Tynie, give these lazy barstewards the shake up they need..
Dons fan here, absolutely fascinating. Love an insight to 'below deck' and that was magic. Hope he gets a gig somewhere else.
Superb piece of insight from a very good football manager. Well done PLZ and full of admiration for how David has rebuilt his career
Great segment guys, more like this please.
Absolutely superb watch 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love DM I’m a jambo he is refreshing and a good guy seems to have a soft spot for the jambos never has a bad word to say.

Quite upset seeing Livingston at the bottom of the league genuinely love his character. Wishing him all the best.

Keep your hands on the wheel at all times there Davy. You’re on film. 😂👍
Love listening to Davie, very admirable the way he has turned his life around.
I just wish he would stop referring to himself in third person 😂
I'm a Celtic fan, but I like and respect Martindale he doesn't have that inherent bitterness that many sevco fans and players have.

He is likeable
Martindale is a future Scotland manager for me, but he probably needs to win something at a bigger Scottish club or in England first.

From boxes of powder to penalty boxes in the spfl 👏
Next Rangers Manager
gonny please keep yer hons oan the steering wheel when yer car is moving David, My hearts in my mouth everytime ye take them aff it lol
Future hibs manager 🇳🇬
I can't see him doing anything that bad to deserve that.
He’s already been in bother and paid the price, doesn’t need it again going to Hibs. 😂😂
Was Kenny that manager who put himself in at 50 instead of the younger guy
On the grass
The only thing that let him down was his past or he would have got the rangers job we all know he rangers daft but i suppose everyone has a past good manager tho
And that shows the intolerance and snobbery of people. The man used his past to put himself through university for a degree and get his coaching badges.
