Euro 2012 RTE Panel Watch

James Forde

Dunphy and Giles completely making a balls of the disallowed goal for Greece!

Liam is gonna have a stroke!

Will I Amnt

Eammo doesn't even understand offside ffs.

How has Dunphy lived this long and still not understand offside.

flyswatter

I think he was onside myself.

Renn

HE PASSED IT BACKWARDS, NOT OFFSIDE

Dunphy was looking at the wrong player for the offside incident, sweet jesus...

Sappy404

Dunphy you clod:

"The linesman just about got it right."

First replay: nothing. a few seconds later "he's never offside"

Then, "I was looking at the wrong incident"

"It was marginal , Bill. Marginal."

Suryavarman

He was looking at the wrong player? I would have thought it was pretty obvious that the crosser was getting called offside.

Brady,unlike the other two does watch some of the other leagues.Giles has not a clue outside the the top six in England

Moist Bread

Poor auld Liam. They wind him up something terrible.

That discussion on the offside pretty much summed up what is great,and terrible, about the RTE coverage. You have to love it:D

kitakyushu

Shocking game by Dunphy. He can usually play it broad enough to spoof his way out of a corner, but that was too much even for him.

Ray Treacy & Clarinets, LOL

Haha, Liam called Dunphy's BS off-air.

Mars Bar

That was such an odd conversation. I liked it!

RTE have waaaaay too much time on their hands.

According to the RTE commentator Russia and the Czech Rep are "two countries that have changed their names in recent times". Thanks for the simplistic history lesson there!

Dempsey

Brian Kerr going on about the dancers throwing shapes

Pro. F

Kerr on the pre-match entertainments: ''A lot of dancing and people throwing shapes in the middle of the pitch.''

He's quite a coup for RTE to have landed. Hopefully he'll be promoted to the studio panel someday soon.

Something I always wondered about.

Why do Czech Rep get the history, but Slovakia don't?

Same with Russia, they get the USSR history, but all the other former SSRs don't.

Ukraine and Georgia would have had a huge influence on the USSR sides of the past

Complaining about the RTE panel not doing their research is like going out with a glamour model and complaining when she doesn't cook your dinner.

Please don't compare Dunphy and Co to glamour models. My dinner nearly came back up.

I suppose the ones who want to break away give up the history.

Great to see Jerkoff and Arseshavin back at the biggest stage.

Jesus lad, get it together and do your research before posting. European border and territory history is not that hard to keep track of.

I think the FAI/IFA situation disproves that theory.

No you're not on your own.

He said "tight" like Goldmember does. I can't take him seriously.

Russians tearing the Czech defence apart. Wonderful ball through!

Wouldn't that back it up tho? The Republic are the 'breakaway' team from "Ireland" ( Northern Ireland do claim all the results prior to 1921 for instance).

Kerrs havin a bleedin stormerrr!

feck off Craig Doyle

Moist Bread

Was that the prick that was in the 'You didn't expect Everest to be doing that today, did you?' ads? ****ing gowl.

Jax Teller

Funny them trying to Pronounce the names

eagle eye

I'm enjoying Kerr's input.

mike65

Russia never changed its name, the USSR simply ceased to be.

Trippie

Could be worse lads, could be forced into watching US coverage, first game was Steve McManaman and Ballack in the studio. Alexei Lalas and Casey keller doing match commentary

Giles just keeps saying random names and sticking OV at the end of it

Russia is the team FIFA recognise as the successor to the USSR side.

Slovakia get a Raw deal though.

He knows his football but he talks far too much and much too loudly. It's actually painfully irritating.

I wish he would just be quiet.

Kerr "Michael Ballack, er Bilic"

Soz.

no, but you can expect to be called on it if you are criticising things that people criticise every time this happens.

We know they are bad, but they are entertaining.

We know the hipsters prefer "knowledgeable" pundits, but they are boring, bland and afraid to say what they think on ITV and BBC.

RTE makes up for it's failings on the information front by being trolling geniuses, and funny, and colourful.

I reckon the RTE boys are lot more knowledgeable than you give them credit for. Far more knowledgeable than anything BBC or ITV have to offer.

He looked like Baros :pac:
