Euro 2012 RTE Panel Watch

BaZmO*

Ray "hindsight" Houghton :rolleyes:

He'll always complain that whenever a player does something, and it doesn't result in a favourable outcome, that it wasn't the right decision.

Player shoots and it goes wide? Should've passed the ball!

Player passes the ball and nothing comes of it? Should've taken a shot himself!

He's the most frustrating commentator of the lot for me. His hindsight commentary is relentless.

Dempsey

Imagine Ray Houghton as an underage coach :eek:

Sir Gallagher

All the talk of Bill reminded me of this, he's some man. Last line is brilliant.

"I will in my arse. Are ya mad?"

"Do you want to get an ice-cream?"
"I do in me arse"

"I don't want to hear you singing, I don't want to hear you talking, and I don't want to see you doing any goals"

"What kind of a ****ing eejit"

Sheer brilliance from Billo. He has a touch of a Brian Kerr to him. Would love to hear him commentating on a match. He'd be a laugh.

Hopefully Kerr gets the nod for tonight. You'd imagine Hamilton will be commentating on Ireland's match.

Jimmy Iovine

**** off Ronnie. We want Brian.

Ronnie is the worst commentator ever

If Kerr had co-commentated we'd have won easily :mad:

Yeah, terrible selection by Trapattoni.

Thought Dunphy was a bit mellowed earlier, but he's gettin warmed up now :pac:

Dunphy complaining about no McCarthy. He's unbelievable

To be fair I don't think he meant it like that. He was just mentioning that McCarthy and Coleman have been over-looked in the last two years or so.

SirDelboy18

Didn't think I'd ever agree with Dunphy, but spot on when he says Traps methods are redundant and stone age.

SarahBM

I wish John would agree to come back and manage Ireland.

Kerrydude1981

I can see Bill doing some severe sh1t stirring after the break

Lapin

Not really in the mood for Apres Match tonight.

Seems like Bill looks forward to Apres Match more than the actual games

This is starting to feel a bit like "death by RTE" - just lie how Sean Gallagher got taken down before the presidential election.

No harm imo.

They mentioned Roddy Collins earlier - a great opportunity (given today's demise of Mons) to discuss the relationship between the weaknesses in the LoI and the disgrace of a national team that we have.

dastardly00

Did Craig Doyle just say that Dunphy is on his show tonight?

kitakyushu

I think the only way forward for this team is : Manuela + "some other Italian manager"

born2bwild

Manuela looking sexaay.

Bill called him Ronnie Collins. At least we got one mispronunciation tonight.

Yea he did. Surprised to see Dunphy in there. Thought he'd head straight to the pub.

cgpg5

Did Dunphy just say Paul Pilkington or was that me? And Coleman? He should be nowhere near our team frankly

Kiwi_knock

I love when Dunphy talks about the players that have been excluded from the squad, he talks like he is the only person who has heard about the player before and has discovered them.

J. Marston

''The great Fabregas of Spain.''

You'd swear he's talking about someone of Maradona/Pele's status.

Kerrydude1981

Let Chippy talk Eammo

Don't we all!!
In other news - Dunphy's on a roll!

Jimmy Iovine

Go ahead. Go ahead. You're on a roll.

Go ahead, Go AHEAD! You're on a roll, you're on a roll.

Brilliant.

Lapin

Dunphy is off

He is overdoing this, he could have named 2 or 3 players who should have been on the pitch. No need to be going down the list so far (and making up players!)

ntlbell

look at gshuy, he can score in an open goal from 7yrds, genuis.

look at this fella, he can get fouled on the halfway line and win a free kick what a player

poor ireland

missingtime

Good man eamonn! On a roll, heart on a sleeve stuff.

monkey9

Ahahaha!! Liam is trolling the sh!t out of Dunphy!! Eamo is running out of things to say so he is says to Liam "do you want to take it here, Liam?" Brady: Now you keep going there Eamon!!

cgpg5

Dunphy showed a clip of Coleman winning the ball from a desperate pass and then passing the ball to a teammate about 5 yards away and then making a run. Bloody hell anyone could do that. Would love to see what team he'd pick cos he appears to be just throwing out names.

AT least Brady is talking sense by acknowledging a system change will be needed if Hoolahan/Pilkington are to be included

Lapin

Every time Chippy says Going Forward the Irish team take a step backwards.

keith16

Would you talk to trap chippy....please?

BaZmO*

We definitely need to sign more Spanish and Italian lads......going forward like.

kitakyushu

My fellow Irish. As a young boy, I dreamed of being Liam Brady. But tonight I say, we must pass forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

murpho999

Nice showing how Swansea play with ordinary players but do they really expect a stubborn Italian in his seventies is going to change his philosophy?

No chance!

cgpg5

Haha Dunphy referring to Liverpool fans applauding Swansea when it clearly showed the Swansea fans celebrating

Do the panel know any player names other than the Irish and the big stars? "look at the number 7" etc

J. Marston

Uh oh, the depressing video package.

(Don't cry, you're stronger than this...)

Maybe so but Liverpool fans did applaud them off the field though.

"that's the Swansea player who was in the middle of the park, there"

Even a tiny bit of research would not go astray Mr Giles

AH yeah I know but he said something like "look at the Liverpool fans there" and it a sea of white
