Following on from the map controversy on the Late Late Show,this week we have had Sean O'Rourke laughing on air at Liam Cosgrave's suggestion that water was too good for the hunger strikers and Eamon Dunphy thanking God on air for "Londonderry" (referencing the contribution of Martin O'Neill,Mc Clean and Duffy in Cardiff).
This has caused a howl of protests up North,but no adverse reaction at all in the South.Are we too sensitive up here? I must say I did laugh at Dunphy's comment,which I interpreted at the time as being tongue in cheek
Dunphy was tongue in cheek. Anyone offended by that is definitely too sensitive which a lot of northern nationalists definitely are. This is the first I heard of the other comment.

Which is exactly what it was. No need to engage in the predictable anti-south rhetoric on this.
over the years there has been lots of examples like this in RTÉ and some Irish newspapers
It would stir up more disappointment than anger tbh
Dunphy will just say anything that he thinks will provoke a reaction
In fairness to dunphy he has defended james Mc clean when other westbrit journalists where having a go
He said he didn't like Martin O Neil regardless of what job he was doing the other night
Smacks of O Neil not giving him the time of day and little eamon is reacting to some rejection through the program
my biggest gripe is that him and Brady are terrible analyst
At least brolly offers some insight in the Gaa programmes
Listened to rte radio coverage of the match on Monday night. Anyone know who the co-commentater was?

Sorry yeah, Kerr was commentating on radio v Moldova, so it probably was him. He doesn't like O'Neill, you can tell by the little remarks he makes even when something goes well.
Sure there are no decent soccer managers in the 26 counties anyway. At least Martin O Neill has decent experience.
The panel during 26 county matches are like 3 mothers talking about a child with very little aptitude for the game. Dunphy is hilarious. Especially rapping about Hoolihan.

Any time I feel like I'm becoming too sensitive I read Ruth Dudley Edwards column in the Belfast Telegraph. This reminds me that everything that is wrong in Ireland is the fault of northerner Gerry Adams. Examples are:
- Stormont deadlock
- Brexit
- Water shortages
- Homelessness
- Ireland's failure to reach the 2010 World Cup Finals
- GAABoard down
Yeap, all Adams' fault.
Has Dunphy liked any Irish manager after Eoin Hand's tenure?
Perhaps Tony and Northern Nationalists could make a voluntary donation of say €100 each to RTÉ seeing as they don't pay them a Licence Fee??
It would
A - be an extra proof of their Irishness
B - force RTÉ to treat them properly.

I am pretty sure Brian Kerr was either born in Belfast and spent his early years there,or else his father was a Belfast man,so he would hardly have a bias against the North
I think he has family connections in Ardoyne.
He came out very strongly against northern nationalists playing for the 26 County team.
His co commentary on Today FM is brutal
"A joke or not, Eamon Dunphy's Londonderry comment was cheap"

Quote from: T Fearon on October 11, 2017, 10:14:20 AM
Has Dunphy liked any Irish manager after Eoin Hand's tenure?
No, and would say he disliked Charlton, Tappatoni and Mick McCarthy more. His dislike for McCarthy was fairly vicious when he was a player, apparently going back to a time when he was taking Dave O' Leary's place on team, much to Eamon's chagrin, and Dunphy challenged him to a race to prove Mick had no pace.
Dunphys comment was a joke. He has a pretty nationalist outlook and is very supportive of the northern boys playing for Ireland.
Brian Kerr was a great youth coach but didnt do it for the first team he didnt beat a single team ranked higher than 80 (EIGHTY FFS) in a competitive match. He reckons he didnt get a fair go at it but he did! Euro 2004 he took over after 2 defeats fair enough but he was in charge for the whole 2006 campaign which included 2 draws against Israel were we literally just threw away the points and then the big must win game against Switzerland I dont even think we had one single shot. He was rightfully given the boot but should have been replaced by a proper manager not Staunton (what were they thinking of???????????)

Correct.
Brian Kerr was the bargain basement choice after Mick McCarthy was sacked.
All that's wrong with Brian ever since is that the FAI have moved away from the incesteous Dublin soccer circuit when looking for new national and underage managers.
The Dutch fella who is technical director now has ruffled a few feathers amongst the Dublin based football intelligentsia- The hardcore DSL & LSL crew who think that north of balbriggan & south of Kilternan there be dragons.
Kerr is a fellow traveler with that mob and unless you are cut from a the same cloth you are an inferior being when it comes to Irish football as those boys see it.
If Martin O'Neill was from Monaghan or Mayo it wouldn't make a difference to Kerr & co

If they don't have the rights, what can they do? You might say that they should buy the rights, but if Sky or someone buys the UK rights how can RTÉ reasonably stop them. In rugby there is an all Ireland team, but soccer is partitionist.

Sometimes it is better to call out the idiot before the unthinkable happens.
Dunphy was vehemently anti republican and nationalist up until he witnessed the famous Night in November 1993 at Windsor Park.He changed his tune right away,after witnessing the bigotry,sectarianism and anti Irish hostility that night,and became almost a Sinn Feiner.
Kerr was pictured not long after losing his job as Irish Manager at a Setanta Cup match,involving St Pats Athletic,in the North,with a bag of chips purchased from a chip van in a small decrepit stadium.Something I doubt you'll see any other ex Irish manager doing

I don't know about the Millwall story,but his press writings up to November 1993 were akin to those of Ruth Dudley Edwards in terms of Sinn Fein and Northern nationalists.They changed completely that night in November 1993 when he was working as an RTE pundit and observed the bigotry and sectarianism first hand.
Dunphy's views are generally what is best for Eamo. In the main he is a charlatan but shouldn't be taken too seriously .
Although paradoxically his emotional side can overcome rational thought .
He is a necessary performing clown who is pure establishment .

It is correct about Bloody Sunday. But as regards changing his views after Windsor Park I'm not so sure. He was a great F.G. supporter but certainly deserves to receive some recognition for his jumping on a bandwagon ability
I think that game had a profound effect.It was a hell of a lot more than sectarian singing.Pure hatred for 90 minutes,referencing the then recent Greysteel Pub massacre, and frenzied attempts to prevent th southern fenians getting to the 1994 World Cup Finals. Worst ever,and I remember Dunphy commenting about it on tv after the game.Since that day he never wrote a disparaging comment about SF

Kerr was pictured not long after losing his job as Irish Manager at a Setanta Cup match,involving St Pats Athletic,in the North,with a bag of chips purchased from a chip van in a small decrepit stadium.Something I doubt you'll see any other ex Irish manager doing
"vehemently anti Republican"
In other words did not favour sectarian slaughter of innocents by bombing pubs in Birmingham etc
Because that is all republicans are and do/have done. Ejit

Dunphy is an ejit but I wouldn't pay too much attention to these comments
So is Trump. And look where he is now.
Sometimes it is better to call out the idiot before the unthinkable happens.
While I appreciate the logic of your post, I don't think there is any danger of Dunphy running anything nevermind any country

Dunphy was vehemently anti republican and nationalist up until he witnessed the famous Night in November 1993 at Windsor Park.He changed his tune right away,after witnessing the bigotry,sectarianism and anti Irish hostility that night,and became almost a Sinn Feiner.

Sorry yeah, Kerr was commentating on radio v Moldova, so it probably was him. He doesn't like O'Neill, you can tell by the little remarks he makes even when something goes well.
Kerr might be decent analyst I dont know as his whining voice is so grating as is Michael Owen
