Karmafaerie

Some beautys in here.:D

Gilesy on Ronaldo - "Marilyn Monroe was the greatest star in the world but she was never known as a great actor. Ronaldo is like that."

Bill - "what do you think of Group B gentlemen?" (the group with Germany, Austria, Poland and Croatia) Souness - "Looks a bit like World War II, Bill".

Dunphy - "Real Madrid are offering ronaldo €250,000 a week after tax, he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"

Bill: - "Just one interesting point. Italy have now qualified for the quarter final with 4 points ,when last time they failed to qualify with 5 points....whatever that means........i actually don't know" ..... que laughter from Gilesy and Brady

first Swittzerland game:

Bill:"It's said the Barnetta is their best player, what do we know about him?"
Eamo:"Well he's Swiss so he mother was a banker and his father was a clock maker"

Souness - "I agree with Liam......"
Dunphy - "Its Eamon"
Souness - "Sorry, whats your name....haha....good job Liams not here"

Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven't played a proper team yet"
Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. what do you mean a proper team?"
Dunphy - "Sweden"

Brady: "The games at five o'clock have been inferior."
Bill: "For what reason?"
Brady: "Well, I think it is cooler at night, Bill."
Bill: "Hold on, we're only talking 23 degrees. That's what it was like in Dublin today."
Brady: "Still hot. Still hot. I was playing golf today. I found it hot."
Bill: "Did you shoot a good score Liam?"
Brady: "No, not really."
Bill: "And were you as indolent as they (Romania and France) were?"
Gilesy: "You try playing golf at night Bill."

And best of the tournament
Souness unimpressed with Thierry Henry's bravery for the Italian second
goal:
"He's got his hands down protecting his downstairs area and sticks his foot out like a nancy"
Eamo: "If you don't mind me saying Graeme, the shot was a bit low to have affected his downstairs area."
Cue Gilesy mumbling: "You don't know with these lads, Eamon."

That's the one I was thinking of, my jaw was starting to drop as I realised what he was going to say but he managed to brush over the end of it, barely

Unfortunately missed the comment myself, but Giles' crack about the Lisbon treaty during the semi-final power outage sounded classic.

Gilesy: "You try playing golf at night Bill."

Bill - "What do you think of Group B gentlemen?"

Souness - "Looks abit like World War II, Bill".







Dunphy on Saturday "Real Madrid are offering ronaldo €250,000 a week after tax, he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"







Dunphy - "Sergio Ramos is like Paul McShane on steroids".







Quote by Jimmy Magee, in the Portugal v Czech game.

He was talking about the midfielder for Portugal who had just taken a shot at goal.



"He is clearly a privileged spectator as that is the first thing he has done all day"







Jimmy Magee again : and the ball is passed wide to Ricardo Ronaldo '...Kinsella was too polite to correct him then a min later he says...'I just promoted the Portuguese goalkeeper to the wing'.







Jimmy The gee again: "This must be the most attacks by an Italian team in an international match in the first 16 minutes than anyone can remember"







Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven't played a proper team yet"

Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. What do you mean a proper team?"

Dunphy - "Sweden"







Mark Kinsella after 15 minutes the match between Austria & Germany..............



"I see what the Austrians are tryin to do here, they are tryin to stop the Germans playing football"







Mark Kinsella when the challenge was made on lahm (which resulted in ballacks stunning freekick)...........talking about the austrian who brought lahm down "he really needed to make that tackle........doesnt matter bout the free kick lahm was on a good run".............ballack riffles one home.........."ya see needless freekicks cost ya”







Jimmy again: klasnic has socred for poland, they lead one nil" then it shows the replay and he realise it was a goal against poland and he says " of course that was Klasnic of portugal who got the goal

Souness - "I agree with Liam......"

Souness - "Sorry, whats your name....haha....good job Liams not here"







Rte quality discussing Italys second goal



Souness: Henry didn't want 2 know...too concerned in covering his manhood that he turned his back on d ball



Dunphy: Think it was a bit low to b worried about his manhood



Giles : Eamonn how do u know his manhood doesn’t go down that low

I'm sorry, but I must strenuously disagree!

Jimmy Magee isn't getting senile.

He's always been that way!

"I see what the Austrians are tryin to do here, they are tryin to stop the Germans playing football"

Given it was the Turkey game I was more disappointed Eamonn didnt interject with something along the lines of "and they got destroyed by a team of determined muslims and all" :eek: Dunphy has tamed too much :pac:


Lads discussing the prospect of Italy v Spain ending in penos

Bill "So Eamonn, do you reckon we are in for a long night?"
Eamonn "All Ill say is Bill, I hope you dont have a date tonight" :pac:

Bills reaction in the thickest Cark accent "ahnowEamonn, godbewiththedays!" was hilarious.

Dunphy went into a who is he Bill/murdered/destroyed/nothing player classic after (or was it half time) in the Turkey match (in reference to zee Germans though).

The Walsho

I loved Bill's failure to control his laughter on one occasion when they'd returned from Apres Match - laughing like a schoolgirl he was! Their little speeches about Liam on the last night were pretty nice too, I'll miss the A-Team panel.
We've a much better panel here than on ITV or BBC.

staker

they should release a "best of" compilation. i'd buy it. anyone know if there is??
