Just the body language involved. Seedork was in the middle of Hansen and Shearer, and Lineker passed the comment to him, it was in the studio and he said did you have a good time "out there". You could tell Lineker was being smart.

If ye can find it online ye would know better.

Wow, are you seriously trying to make fun of Clarence by calling him a dork?

I demand you take that back. You bloody racist hypocrite. You only said that because he's black.

:rolleyes:

Lineker asked him if he enjoyed himself playing ball, that is all.

ok, lets leave this as it is. If Lineker gets the sack for calling Seedork a dutch n****r live on MOTD on Tuesday, we can agree then.

On the BBC Seedorf played a charity match in South Africa and Hudson, Shearer, Lineker and of course Seedorf were on the show.

After the BBC showed it Lineker said to see Seedorf in the studio "Did you enjoy yourself out there?" Bit of racism there IMO.

Go away, that was nothing remotely racist.

I saw that clip, it was every bit as unoffensive as any reasonable person would interpret from your quote above "Did you enjoy yourself out there?", to a retired footballer .

Racism occurs when you judge black and white people differently because of their skin colour - the only person doing this here is you.

presumably you will be the only one able to tell that is what he really meant when he raises an eyebrow in a quizzical fashion? Do let us all know.

LOL racist comment!!?? "out there" is a football term used by many pundits as in out there on the pitch. How you can think its a racist comment is beyond me!

And its seedorf!

I found the way Bill asked that hilarious. Like a Partridge moment.

Dunphy re: Dutch Keeper - "Their keeper is a liability. He's certainly not the Bank of England"

Giles: "I think he's more like Anglo Irish Bank, Eamonn."

Probably the best quote of the tournament so far for me.

They have the Apres match team scribbling stuff during the games I'd say.

Hamilton had a good one last night.....

"Holland are the only unbeaten team remaining in the competition, of those that are still in it"

There was no need for the last bit George, I think it's fairly obvious that any team that is not in the competition has lost their unbeaten record.

Nope, New Zealand were unbeaten if I'm not mistaken.

Jimmy Iovine

Haha Eamon's had Spain's babies. Some man for one

yerayeah

I think that Hamilton said they were the only team who had won all their games that was left in the WC. Sure Uruguay were unbeaten up until last night as well!!

"they could be a bit scratchy" - Giles

what does that mean like!

Turtyturd

Giles really doesn't like Van Bommell.

And Dunphy reckons the final will be a good game. Must make a note of this post for half time on Sunday when he says he knew it would be poor.

Giles was a classy player who could also kick you. Van Bommel can kick you.

Bill "And what will happen to Spain then (if Holland don't allow them as much possession as Germany did) ??"

Giles "They might lose Bill"

I love the rte commentators inappropriate pauses

Good man Dunphy, for talking about how Spain has a lot of flaws.

O' Herlihy just said:

"Everyone wants Spain to win because of the way they play".... what a load of crap. I want Netherlands to win as do many neutrals!!!!! Netherlands play WAYYY more attractive football than Spain, who were only just lucky on a couple of occasions.

Giles came in talking about how Spain are some sort of artistic geniuses, saying that he hopes they win, while Holland are some kind of ruffians and brute-force type of players.

Nonsense of the highest order, Spain pass it a lot and have the most expensive players... that's no reason to think they'll win and certainly no reason to hope they'll win.

He's right, Spain are completely over rated. Wow look they can pass across the field in-front of the defence. Rarely do they have the cutting edge which is shown by their goal tally.

mike65

Chippy wants Webb to start showing red cards.

Bob_Harris

The boys are going on the "Holland are evil" theme, poor little attractive Spain are intimidated.

Bollocks.

Well I think on the basis of that first half your theory has gone out the window.


And your just wrong about pretty much everything else in your post.

Holland have been like 1990 Ireland in this match.

RTE are obsessed with themselves. I want to see the celebrations but they feel those old fools in the studio are more important. Its the World Cup, the greatest sporting event on the planet, not the RTE studio featuring the World Cup Final which is what they started to think of themselves.

Don't be completely STUPID. Ireland in 1990 were playing extremely defensively, Holland had tons of chances, they had more clear-cut chances than Spain. Spain may have had more possession, because they were doing nothing with the possession.

Spain are the team that can barely score a goal to save their lives. Even when Holland were down to ten men today they were still pressing hard to win.

Do you think Ireland were like that in the last 20 minutes of normal time? Your opinion is wrong.

RTE are obsessed with themselves. I want to see the celebrations but they feel those old fools in the studio are more important. Its the World Cup, the greatest sporting event on the planet, not the RTE studio featuring the World Cup Final which is what they started to think of themselves.

Of course. Liam Brady was saying that "it would be a dark day for football if Netherlands won".... what a disgraceful clown of a man he is.

Giles as well is starting to lose it with love for Spain, as if Spain were the good guys and Netherlands were villains.

Dunphy should know better, and does, but can't resist a bit of trolling along the same lines even though he knows it's extremly over-exaggerated what they're saying about Netherlands and negativity, tackling, refereeing. I think it's a disgrace.

That was a particularly poor comment from Brady. Both teams were as bad tonight. You can't adopt a one eyed approach to your analysis.
