Eamon Dunphy Classics

[Final Whistle]

On Luis Garcia:
"They (Liverpool) should put Garcia where he belongs - in the
dustbin."

On Djibril Cisse:
"here we have Cisse, right wing, attempts to put in a cross,BANG...hits the full back, again BANG hits the full back, BANG...offthe full back again, and once more, BANG...smacks the full back
again....
Millions of euro and he
can't clear the first man, I mean...what's he trying to do to the full
back here, Kill him??"

On Harry Kewell:
"Kewell should have been yanked off the pitch at half time and put in
a hot bath, a boiling hot bath."
"Fat and a clown. A fat clown for all to see."

On Rio Ferdinand:
"Ferdinand is a clown. He was a liability for the first goal and he is
always a liability. It was Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink against Rio
Ferdinand of Barclays Bank."
"a tr**p"

On Fabio Cannavarro:
"If Rio Ferdinand is worth £100,000 a week, then this guy is worth
EUR100 million . . . . . a day"

On Liam Brady (After Ireland lost a two goal lead against Holland in
1983):
"He is often looked on as a great player. He is nothing of the kind.
His performance on Wednesday was a disgrace, a monument to conceit
adorned with vanity and self-indulgence, rendered all the more
objectional by the swagger of his gait. He was deemed by many
observers to have had a splendid game."

On Niall Quinn:
"I'm not gonna address the Niall Quinn agenda, Niall Quinn is a creep"
"The man's an idiot, a Mother Theresa"

On Barcelona:
"After watching Watford against Manchester City last night that was
like a bubblebath. It was beautiful."

On Garth Crooks and Sven Goran Eriksson:
"ha, ha, ha, that's the first time you'll see sex between 2 men live
on the BBC"

During the coverage of Euro 2004:
"You need dictatorships and poverty to produce great footballers."

On Christiano Ronaldo:
the way Ronaldo "clicks his heels", is the "most wicked thing in the
game."
"a simple cheat" "Poof ball"

On Mick McCarthy:
"He's one of the biggest whingers in world football... he's a bloody
eejit."

On Kevin Kilbane:
"Kilbane's head is better than his feet. If only he had three heads,
one on the end of each leg."

On John Giles:
"Usually it takes a bottle of Bacardi and a gallon of Coke to get John
out of his seat."

On Michael Carrick:
"Carrick was signed for Spurs a few years back for £3m. That's the
level he is at. He is a nothing player. He is one-paced. He doesn't
have the personality to always get on the ball like a United player
should. "

Before the Liverpool .v. Real Betis game at Anfield when Roy Keane
announced his retirement from football Bill O'Herlihy stated that in
the column about Roy a journalist called him a thug. Dunphy continued
roaring at Bill asking him who's column it was. Bill replied it was on
the back page of the Sunday Times. "Look at it" he told Eamon. Eamon
still pestered him asking who wrote it. Bill replied "I can't remember
his name".
Eamon continued saying:
"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and
left his wife for a young one".

On about the Fergie V Strachen feud:
Eamon: "Scots they're either nice or they're horrid and these two are
horrid.
Bill: "The Scots wont like that Eamon, thats bordering on racism".
Eamon: "Its not racism its ethnic criticism Bill".

On the stubborn climate which exists in the board room at Real Madrid:

"Bill, Bill... those directors over there are on another planet.
They're on mushrooms or something...THEY'RE ON ACID BILL!!!"

On John Hartson:
'Bill, Hartson is not a 7million pound player....its a disgrace, a
shambles!
This is the state of football today Bill. I have a clip here of why
Hartson is NOT a £7million player....Roll it there Bill!
(literally 1 second in to
the clip) OKAY, HOLD IT THERE BILL!!! (draws a circle around Hartson's
arse) Bill, that is NOT the arse of a £7million player!''
