Dunphy v Brady

North Longford · April 09, 2008, 04:14:50 PM

It was going on from before the game.
Bill mentioned to Brady that he would soon be leaving the panel due to his role with Ireland. Quick as a flash Dunphy retorts.....he could be back soon too!
Brady didn't really like that either................Dunphy is just a pure wind up merchant

While Dunphy did go over the top, it's moments like last night which make you appreciate all the more RTE's coverage with the lads compared to ITV and SKY's colourless drivel - could you honestly see Gary Lineker or Jamie Redknapp coming up with cracks like that??

I always thought that he was from England. Just seems English. Maybe it's just me....

you lads always get touchy when we kick your asses...
eg stuttgart 1988 and I'll leave Mr Fearon to come up with the rest of the historical victories

no need to be so bitter just because our Euro is wiping the floor with Mrs. Windsors pocket posters!

Souness is a different man entirely on RTE. He's interesting and says interesting things. Compare and contrast with him on Sky, probably tonight. The 3 of them on Sky will be like a choir, all saying exactly the same thing. 'Are Roma shite?' 'Yes, Richard, Yes they are'. 'Are United Great?' 'Yes Richard, yes they are'. 'Was last night a fantastic advertisement for the Premiership?' 'Yes Richard, Yes it was'. 'Won't the Liverpool Chelsea tie be another great occasion?' 'Yes Richard, yes it will'. 'Are we Borg?' 'Yes Richard, We Are Borg'.

Jees you have me in stitches

but your are right.

Totally agree!

I thought it was great. RTE can mix the serious ith the surreal but riveting viewing as well. Brady can be a wee bit up his arse sometimes. Shared a pint with the man too in Belfast. Asked him if he was the first man to say 'codswhallop' on TV.

I love these people who are always "sharing a pint" with famous people.

Must have been more than a pint.

It wasnt just Rte who brought up the John Cleese comparison. Tommy Smith brought it up during the game on ESPN only he called him Manuel

magpie seanie · April 09, 2008, 11:26:38 PM

Tommy Smith on ESPN is simply the stupidest and worst commentator I have ever heard. A complete clown.

Main Street · April 10, 2008, 12:14:45 AM

Empty chair on the RTE panel tonight where Liam should have been.
Only Giles and the decrepit lizard were there along with Bill.

Anyway Liam looks the part along with Tardelli in the Ireland set up and the Great One still has to make his entrance there.

Who is this boy or where did he come from? Has he ever played football?

I think he's hilarious.
