Probably the same people who think having a Craig Doyle show was a good idea.

not seen any rte coverage but is it dubstep?

Was the last montage not some crappy euro-dance trash? About "shutting it dowwwwwn..." ?

Or is my sarcasm detector temporarily switched off :P

I wouldn't necessarily call it Dub Step, but it didn't suit the theme of the games today.

Anyone have a link to Dunphy's "bull****" outburst before the Greece match?

Got to 9:30 in this video. I'm surprised they uploaded it. Thought they might edit out the comments.

Bill was hilarious with his stare when he said "Me too.", and the cute little nod he gave was great haha.

Surprised they left that in alright. Dunphy has always had it in for every Ireland manager though.

TheRedDevil10 · 13-06-2012 4:45pm

Thats Didi on 3 days in a row now! Whats happened to Richie ?

Jimmy Iovine · 13-06-2012 5:21pm

Not enjoying the lack of Brian Kerr today. Everyone's too perfect today. Names being pronounced correctly, and players are being referred to by their name as opposed to the colour of their boots

Ger Canning and Ray Houghton for the second game apparently.

Lovely second goal by Portugal. Orangy boots had no chance of saving it.

"That was travelling a rate of knots"

- Peter Collins getting all nautical in his description of Varela's goal.

Bah. Houghton and Canning for next game. The worst of both worlds.

Canning and Collins are in Ukraine. Hamilton and Alkin are in Poland. Just to warn ya for future matches.

Mark Lawrenson is on BBC. He's worse imo. One of the most annoying voices around.

His voice has nothing on the announcer in the Aviva.

A DJ on 4fm. His name evades me at the minute. Dermot Kennedy or some such.

Mr. Guappa · 13-06-2012 8:14pm

Canning to Houghton: "It's a commentators worst nightmare Ray; a Lahm marking a Robben"

Luckily the Gomez goal broke the subsequent bewildered silence.

"Hunteelaar ,they call him the hunter"- didnt know that translated over to dutch...

Ive switched to BBC Radio 5 commentary,couldnt listen to Lawro no more

Gilesy thinks the Dutch have had a change of manager since the world cup. Now I have lots of time for him but a little bit of research into the sport he loves wouldn't go amiss.

wonga77 · 13-06-2012 9:47pm

Giles having real trouble with the name Badstuber

Renn · 13-06-2012 9:47pm

Giles has always been useless. Hummel?

He was impressed with the German CB's. Just not impressed enough to remember their names.

go easy! he more or less asked had they and was quickly told they hadn't. i don't think Gilesy's role has ever been to keep up with these kind of details. Gilesy generally just calls the game he's just watched as he sees it. Dunphy is far worse, because he does pretend he has done his research, watches La Liga every week etc., and he still makes far more of these kind of errors than Giles

The panel needs a fourth permanent member a total Statto. I've been saying in 3D land for a while. A real football wonk that could fill in the gaps in knowledge the lads have. Pluck someone from obscurity too.

I think it would add to the programme no end.

For some reason I can already picture Dunphy giving him a wedgie and firing paper aeroplanes at him.

I'd have him sitting between Billo and John. No messin'. There, eh, Bill.

applehunter · 14-06-2012 1:00am

Kenny Cunningham has been the most impressive so far along with the German fella.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-06-2012 1:37am

The BBC punditry has been the worst of all imo. They just spout a lot of cliches and sit there snickering at their unfunny jokes. The attempt at analysis for Holland/Germany was so bad it was offensive. I like ITV's efforts more but they seem to be limited for time in their post-match stuff. So far I'm liking RTE the most although they could do with more research.

Yeah Lawro was pretty bad, but I listened to it as the only alternative was Canning/Houghton.

Solution : Have Kerr for every match RTE no matter the cost! Blanket coverage if you will, like a blanket over three Greek centre-forwards.

TimeToShine · 14-06-2012 2:47am

What's the name of the guy who was commentating on the Spain vs Italy game? I thought he was the only good one, got very excited whenever the ball made its way into the penalty box and had good chemistry with the other fella.

_blank_ · 14-06-2012 9:37am

Jimmy Magee would be better than that Gah commentator.

I also turned over to BBC, would rather listen to Lawro than that fella spouting his crap about "scores" and "sideline cuts".

The hack of him.

I wonder will the send him to commentate on the Javelin or something in the Olympics?

Agree with this.

He can take Ray Houghton with him - who knows where the serendipitous flight of a Javelin might land?

Renn · 14-06-2012 10:25am

He didn't say "sideline cuts".

No, he's got this really fycked up culchie/posh accent where he says 'sideline cats'

Samich · 14-06-2012 10:32am

Anyone hear Dunphy on the radio this morning?

Said Giles was the best "forensic analyst" and he was a more "sober man" than him :pac:

Asked about Keanes punditry on ITV

"Well...I've seen him other times..and he's not up to much."

And then goes on to say

"At the ITV you're surrounded by spiffs"

:pac:

Hamann told him his name - badstuber - and a few seconds later he forgot it again, hamann looked like he was about to burst out laughing but managed not to.

giles should be gone, he doesn't even know half the players names & thinks it's still the '70s, his knowledge on things like that & like the dutch manager are awful
