Euro 2012 RTE Panel Watch

Lapin

Dunphy at half time

"Neither team will score in the 2nd half, switch off your tellys and go to the pub".


45 minutes and 4 goals later..........

He's gonna be hearing about this again and again for a long time to come.

closeline

Ger Canning it is Welbeck not Welback. Is it not Kallstrom as well no??

gnfnrhead

In fairness to Dunphy, it didnt look like much was going to happen in the second half. Curious to see how he tries to spin it tho.

desaparecidos

...for the joy for the peoples of the world...

Nuri Sahin

Dunphy on England's chances a moment ago

"England will now be talking up their chances, which is good for the games, and the joy of the people of the world"

Skid

Come on lads, don't let Dunphy away with his "no more goals" gaffe.

Skid

Gabby is on the BBC, Darragh, not ITV.

I think you got 3 touches!

Walcott: 'what?'

I think you got 3 touches!

Diabhal Beag

Ger Canning is such a bad commentator. Translates in every sport.

Jimmy Iovine

"There's a lot to work on"

- Alan Shearer. Unfortunately he doesn't go on to tell us what they need to work on.

"They need to improve all round"

- Alan Hansen as insightful as ever.

Thank fúck for RTÉ.

Lapin

Feck it, I want a pot noodle now.

Top class analysis of the Spain game there by Cunningham - plain as the nose on your face, really, but very clear forensics by the Tourretts eyebrowed one.

Must have been really hard to look back at that match.

Cunningham has the makings of a decent coach.

Neil3030

Yes!!

Brian Kerr. Immense.

"If they play with the same ferrrrrver, they'll win"

Richie Sadlier, what a fraud, when Brady put it up to him about the media scrutiny and interpretation of traps comments he quivered in his pradas and backed down like a snotty nosed schoolboy, now today he is intimating that trap hung his players out to dry with his comments.
What has this fella done to deserve a place as an expert analyst?

The_Kew_Tour

When we did apply pressure on Spain we actually made them make mistakes.

Not saying we would have got result, they were just total class, but we may have put on far better showing and lost with some pride then wimp.

The chicks like the look of him.

Ah, no, he knows his stuff.

Jimmy Iovine

I'm looking forward to a few classics from Brian tonight. He's been one of the highlights of this tournament for me.

I agree. He should be get Trap's job. Oh, wait.....

He knows how to state the bleeding obvious alright. But he does it with an authority that he has done nothing to earn.

He should never have been treated the way he was. That man would be a wonderful director of youth football in this country. Trap has reaped a lot of what Kerr sowed.

That was a lovely little nod to the conversation that himself and Steven Alkin had the other night about the "rattling" of the net.

"I never heard of the net rattling, but then again I never really played in goal that much"

Ah...he won the league with Pat's and brought an under 17s team to third place in the world cup in 1997. He put a decent enough stint in as Ireland manager.

I see what you mean, though, that must have been all blind luck.

klose

Isint kerr the co-commentator? He's talking more then houghton

Jimmy Iovine

"I'm a bit worried now. I left my jacket in that taxi."

- poor Brian is afraid of getting wet.

You would hope so, no point houghton saying much wherever he is.

Jimmy Iovine

"That's a bit stuuuupid from that range"

"The left back came up and had a lash at it"

DDC1990

Im delighted to hear Sadlier say that.

Bill trying to get the panel to talk about the Russian game which they weren't watching.

Richie cut that out fairly lively :P

Renn

Bill put it down to the 'Russians attitude'.

What have you got against?He is way better than Dunphy,Giles etc.What do they say that is insightful compared to Sadlier?

Skid

Very sloppy that they are only going through the qualification rules now (and getting them wrong - points earned between the tied teams is the first decider, then goal difference).

Lumbo

Brian is worried about his laundry bill now.

born2bwild

Brilliant comment by Kerr about the wet strips taken off at half time because of the rain: "The gerl in the washeteria won't be too impressed wit de durt a dem" or something like that.
The man is a legend.

wonga77

No matter what he says, his accent just adds a funny twang to it

copacetic

George ' the bouncing Czechs' about shots of Czech crowd.

Brian 'yeah, the Greeks were chasing them the other night, didn't get paid though'

For that alone he should get all remaining games

Neil3030

Best of the night so far:

"The bewkin' has put the tin lid on it as far as the manager is concerned and he's given him the hewk"

wonga77

"The buuking put the tin lid on it for the manager and he's givin him the hoook"

excellent!

born2bwild

Another true gem from Brian: "the buukin put the tin lid on it as far as the manager was concerned and he's given him the huke"

wonga77

lol at everyone trying to spell the wuuurds

missingtime

"Square fella"

Neil3030

Oh my god that passage was bloody brilliant!

"Gave him a fair smack of the elbow there.... or maybe it was his nails, I hope he cut his nails... <camera cuts to man in gothic facepaint in crowd>... look at the head on him!"

Thefirestarter

"The head on him" - Kerr on a Polish fan in the crowd.

Gem.

Jimmy Iovine

He's a ****ing genius. I'm gonna watch this back later on the player.

kitakyushu

Kerr better get the final! :mad:

Pro. F

This is brilliant from Kerr. Non stop quality. Has me in stitches at times.

Jimmy Iovine

"Maybe Baros has a bit of a lep about him"

born2bwild

He's brilliant. We should each of us email RTE demanding Kerr for the final.

dastardly00

If Apres Match did match commentary, it wouldn't be as good as the real Brian Kerr!

Neil3030

What I love about Kerr too is how much he sounds like he's enjoying being over there. There's a genuine enthusiasm in his voice. A football man like him, being paid to head over to a tournament and offer points on a game - talk about a dream gig!
