Euro 2012 RTE Panel Watch

noodler

Did he just refuse an non-Irish journo question because he was 'non-Irish'?

Or was he just peeved that the guy didn't know Ireland hadn't been in the Euros in 24 years.

Dempsey

I think Manuela does a fairly shít job when it comes to getting Traps point across to the media.

kitakyushu

Why not just let him speak Italian and then she can translate.

In fairness, there's not much she can do when he speaks English.

Think he was on about how he wasn't Irish he didn't understand how good an achievement making the euros after 24 years.

Also can't even hear the questions :mad:

Manuela makes me happy

Not stunning, but Id still ruin her like a Japanese banquet

She should explain to him that his English is ****e and let her do a proper translation of what he wants said

Trap: The first 90 minutes are very important?

ShaneScouse

In some odd way i do feel a little sorry for trap, (yes i know he gets paid a gazillion dollars every year and should have learnt english fluent by this stage) but the lads 73 and didnt need english till very very late in life, be hard to learn it at that stage esp if your brain is for football not education.

Must be so hard and frustrating to try get your point across so hard yet hit the language barrier.

Football is back on. Boo!

You're in good company.

Trapattoni has been like that for the last 4 years.

Andy Burton from Sky Sports was asking questions wasn't he? He's a goon, can't stand him.

From the little I could hear, a good few of the journalists sounded British.

I only recognised him and Tony O'Donoghue. Don't like either of them as interviewers. One asks retarded questions (Burton) and the other seems to try and create a bit of controversy with the tone of his questions (O'Donoghue).

Manuela you saucy minx! It was you all along.

What other languages can she speak? I reckon this should weigh heavily on who the next manager is.

We could get her to interpret 'Arry Redknapp for us...

Far too many people will not get that! Kudos, sir!

Manuela answers that question in this Irish Times interview.

So are you blaming the tactical faux pas on him learning English and that pushed out all the good football stuff ?

TBH respect is all good and well I think everyone would be a winner if we didn't have to end these press conferences more baffled than before they started.

"Scott Parker who hasn't ever scored for England, in International football"

Eh, as opposed to Intergalactic football?

Jimmy Iovine

"It seems like he's been there for 10 years or more, and he has"

- Ger "GAA" Canning on the puzzling longevity of Olof Melberg.

Jimmy Iovine

"It's like the reverse of the Michelin guide"

- classic Eamon talking about England's style of play tonight.

"you'd make a detour to avoid this sort of rubbish"
- Dunphy re England's passing

DDC1990

He very nearly said Shít instead of rubbish as well :P

kryogen

He also mistook Danny Welbeck for Scott Parker, which is quite some doing if I may say so

Dempsey

It could be our greatest mistake.....

/camera cuts back to Daragh and Dunphy bursts into a hysterical laugh

Classic stuff!

The usual massive begrudgery from the chip on the shoulder brigade - and nobody in there with the spine to challenge this nonsense. They pick on a couple of bad passes and call that analysis. What about the possession stats ?

If Ireland had produced a performance like that, they'd be swinging from the light shades.

Given the quality of Irish players they'd be right to do so.

Haha. Not really. Ireland rubbish on the ball. England rubbish on the ball too. They're just calling a spade a spade. If England could actually hold onto the ball for more than 10 passes they'd be dangerous. As true today as it has been for the last 20 years.

No they wouldnt. The performance was almost exactly like Ireland actually. Uninspired, solid enough defensively against an average team and scraping a lead.

Lapin

Ha ha, so much for going to the pub !

wonga77

lol, Dunphy said no hope for a Sweden goal. 3 mins in and a goal...

Would love to see the reaction

Does conceding seven goals in two games constitute solid defence now ??

cyrusdvirus

Seemed to be a bit of handbags there with hart and ibrahmivich there.

Forgive the spelling.

theoneeyedman

Terry the accident waiting to happen .....good call. Completly lost mellberg there

Lapin

Can't wait to see Dunphy eat his words after this !

Sweden are a completely different team in the 2nd half fair fuks to them.

Jimmy Iovine

"Theo Walcott with an absolutely delicious shot"

- Ger is getting very excited

Brilliant, cant wait to see Dunkeys reaction after. Sadlier must be ripping the piss out of him

Ireland got hammered twice. England are winning a game they only need to draw. No comparison - and Dunphy, the old bigot, is winding himself up and trying to find the courage for a big finale in which he criticises the manager, the players, the tactics, the supporters, their songs and maybe even our Queen that he professes to love so dearly.

Bring it on baby !

Stand by for the most begrudging post match review in RTE history.
