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.

"Does it help that 7 of the players are from Zenit St. Petersburg".

"I DON'T KNOW BUT THEY WERE GOOD AGAINST IRELAND IN DUBLIN TWO YEARS AGO".

It's not too bad, could do with a few less Baroses and Arshavins as there seems to be at least 3 of each playing for both teams.

I'm enjoying Kerr's input.

Brian is very good, very sensible comments, straight to the point and honest. No ****e take or sensationalist crap. Quite suprised. BTW a great start to the tournament. Cans of bulmers going down well!

Why can't we get somebody who knows their football but can also convey that knowledge properly and not in an irritating accent?

I don't mind his accent: "I think the big huke might be coming for him".

His mic is too loud and some of his sentences were rambling and pointless earlier - I think he's getting a bit better now.

Russia if they don't win this match they won't be very very happy at all....,, ha ha in fairness to him he only struggles when he has to fill the air time

Now that's a finish!

Brian Kerr confirming the rumours that if you wear orange boots, you must prove that by displaying you're quality.

Glad that has been sorted.

Love the RTE in game/studio match analysis.

Nuri Sahin

Arshaman is a cracking player too.

what was the name of that guy up front that missed the chances John.

"A bloomin' idiot, is what i'd call him" Gilesy.

"What's his name again?"

"Bloomin idiot, Eamon called him"

Lol @ Dunphy

'They only lost 1-0 to Spain four years ago Bill.'

They were spanked 3-0.

3-0 AND 4-1 (just to make him even more wrong)

"Bosnich, the polish left back..." - Liam Brady

When did Mark Bosnich declare for Poland

murpho999

Good calls by Brady on poor offside play.

Spotlight technology very impressive by RTE...no expense spared!

Moneymaker

As much as they all fook up, I wouldn't swap them for anyone tbh. Makes for great viewing.

God help people stuck with ITV/BBC coverage.

Yeah. Those poor people have to endlessly hear how good the England national team are. Thanks to RTE we don't have to listen to any of that and instead only have to emdlessly hear how good Manchester United are.

Living in England I've been watching ITV and BBC today with no access to RTE. Absolutely bored senseless with the analysis. Never thought I'd say it but I miss Bill and the lads!

A plane from Australia. You'd sound like you were on drugs too after that flight.

Après Match looms........:D

Moneymaker

94% of Ireland think we'll get through the group. Lol.

HazDanz

Lol at the poll, 94% we are going through!

he hits the nail on the head to be fair. ive heard its become en vogue for the proletariat to skip paying bills to facilitate sojourning to poland.

i wonder how many of the 40,000 are on the joe cole?

food for thought

Really? Just an old stereotype. Seems the Irish are far more confident of their chances of some sort of success than the English in this tournament. English journalists seem to have written it off and "euro fever" certainly hasn't crossed the Irish Sea.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with going to tournaments expecting your team to come through for you but to say that it is what is currently happening in England couldn't be further from the truth!

What are you on about? That makes no sense at all.

Disappointed with that from Apres Match.

Expecting better from them tomorrow.

It was a social media poll, not a text poll.

Wasn't impressed at all by that Après Match, taking the mickey out of Crystal Swing seems a bit pointless

Difference is we're talking about doing well in our group.

England and it's media talk about winning the tournament all the time an fail
