Real Liverpool fans don't need rafa to justify all the B.S. in the media about his position.

Headshot

rafa has said "torres twisted his ankle"

so he might in trouble for the 2nd leg

wow eamon really going to town

~Rebel~

Christ, Dunphy really Hates Rafa!

whats dunphy been smoking?

Draupnir

Dunphy is going way over the top now, ridiculous stuff. Schoolboy teams playing like Man United, I ask ya!

Raskolnikov

I'm not sure why people are praising Robben so much. His end product was non-existent.

Madrid were a disgrace to be honest. Never looked in the game at home, which is shocking considering they were at home. The fact they lost with Torres clearly crocked and Gerrard not even starting was embarrassing.

Why he makes perfectly valid points. He says the same things every week about Liverpool because it's the same problem week in week out. Win or no win.

It's the last issue Liverpool have that could win them the league. Ronnie is spot on too, Liverpool are incredibly boring. Definitely prefer watching Utd play football than Liverpool, even though I hate them winning.

in fairness liverpool did win the man utd way tonight 1-0

super_furry

Dunphy's been at the gin again. What a fecking clownshow.

a curse omfg

now this is a proper rant

Unearthly

Dunphy

Mr.Nice Guy

I think Dunphy's pissed off cos he blew a week's wages on Rafa resigning.

LATE LATE SHOW Part 2.

Dunphy would rather play great football and win nothing!!

He must be a spurs fan....

I think he used to play at Mallorca as a kid, so maybe he spent his time on the harbour smoking crack with the Turkish millionaires who sailed in on their big expensive yachts....

This is miles off topic, but are you actually Spanish? Just something I've been wondering for some random reason.

raven136

hilarious,think i just heard rafa described as a curse on football!

must have missed the analysis i was promised before the break.

Tusky

I'm not watching...I stopped watching RTEs coverage a long time ago as it disgusts me that my tv license money goes to funding that rubbish.

Rafa had him playing for 55 minutes :eek:

citytillidie

Thank god sky block RTE up here dont have to listen to Dunphy

flanzer

I remember before Trap got appointed, Dunphy saying it was an inspired appointment, great era for Irish football etc etc....now he's slating him, along with Benitez???

He's almost on the verge of doing what he did on the Late Late, cryin, but on a football show.....he's a fcuking registered moron!

podge018

would much rather my schoolboy team played with discipline and to a system like Benitez's team and let them flair it up like it Utd when they're older and pissing about in the phoenix park.

Latchy

Dunphy.............bitter llittle man .

Got injured at 22 mins went off at 61 according to the Beeb - cant have been massively serious, especially considering he didn't even want to go off at that stage - more of a knock than anything, I'd say

LuckyLloyd

I laughed at Dunphy's rant! Entertaining as per usual.

Dunphy is great entertainment when he gets going but he does have a point -i had to watch Chelsea V Juve after watching that first half - Liverpool games are shocking to watch - I thought Madrid would please the eye but no

podge018

what point has he got?!?! Football is about winning, not entertaining the neutral.

At home, in the last 16 of the Champions League; they didn't have the stomach for Liverpool and decided they weren't arsed. Disgrace.

raven136

how can anyone take Dunphy seriously?Hilarious verging on insane,bit like the joker in Batman,never sure whats coming next.

MementoMori

I thought it was a good rant, not a great rant.;)

Never really got into full flow and was a bit disjointed.

His analysis was completely off-the-wall and Gilesy interrupting didn't help him any.

Rafa's "rant" was far, far superior. FACT :):)

Every time I watch a Liverpool CL match on RTE, and they win, they don't bother their holes to analyse the match. It's always 20 minutes of sh1te after the final whistle, the exact same bloody script every time. Then 4 minutes of 'analysis', followed by highlights of the other match.

+1, i turned over after watching Chelsea Juve (great game btw) and it took 20 minutes to find out who scored!

Dunphy slated madrid, then said liverpool don't play great football like man-u, barca and madrid!!

spockety

Pat Dolan on a polar opposite rant to Dunphy right now on Setanta. Cracking.

"Rafa Benitez should get on a plane tomorrow and go on holiday. Say to Liverpool 'fine, see how you do without me'".

"Rafa Benitez is too good for Liverpool, they don't know how good they have it with him"

"Rafa has the X Factor. Liverpool need to look at Ferguson's first few years in charge, and what came after, Liverpool have a chance of doing that with Benitez in charge, the guy is only 48"..

Basically saying it would be absolutely freakin mental for Liverpool to let Rafa go. Give him whatever he wants in his contract.

Warper

I know Dunphy goes way over the top but thats why RTE's coverage is second to none - it beats hearing the same usual tripe

Dolan is right TBH. Liverpool don't deserve Rafa. The man is a legend. The pressure he was under tonight and he goes to Madrid and makes Real look like ordinary.

PiE

That Madrid performance would have beaten Utd.

Well done the lads, lots of work to do at Anfield though.

But it's become so tired and cliched that it IS the usual tripe. He's been selling the same story since Jack Charlton's day.

I know the boys havnt a clue but they are good to watch - especially after a match - their previews are piss-poor. Its not for the indepth analysis i watch them - its the rants after the matches - classic

rte are fast becoming a joke, the same rubbish after every liverpool match, the only way i can watch a match these days is with radio 5 on in the background. What is the point of dunphy?
