Switched on to ITV... REVERSE REVERSE!!

Cantstandsya

Bloody hell RTE... I'm sure the lads could have talked rubbish for 30 mins, it's the World Cup... it's rare for me to complain about some classic Simpsons, but come on.

murpho999

Looking forward to a month of the lads on RTE.

Poorly researched, limited facts and personal missions and prejudices.

But it's frank, open, passionate, great craic and uniquely Irish.

No BBC/ITV blandness.

Think this is their last tournament , will miss them.

vidor

Right, is that it for the night about how whacky the guys on RTE are? Good.

Just Bill's last tournament I thought?

Will miss him though and his planned stupid questions just to set the boys off

Dara O Briain on Twitter.

Well, if the football matches the opening ceremony... it'll emerge from a giant Chocolate Orange and we won't be able to hear it.

The England team visited an orphanage in Brazil today.It was heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope.

Happened years ago. It's been a cringefest for so long at this stage.

ITV is soooooo boring. Simpsons until RTE returns it is.

That_Guy

RTE should have went for the Father Ted episode with the over 75's football tournament.

You didn't see ITV at the beach so. The laddish nonsense on BBC with shearer and rio will be worse.

Adrian Chiles is too smug and cocky for my liking.

He thinks he's hilarious.

That_Guy

Eurosport have Joey Barton as part of their coverage if anybody fancies it. :pac:

Best coverage on television for years imho, I can't stand the blandness on other channels . Even panellists that toe the line elsewhere open up on RTE , all great stuff. We will miss them when they are gone.

Ha ha ITV have England as a Dark Horse! Best they could do!

Adamocovic

I'm stuck watching ITV coverage, really not a fan of Adrian Chiles, his attempt at dry sarcastic punditry just annoys me and comes across as if he doesn't know what he is talking about. Only good thing was watching Roy Keane's reactions when Chiles said something silly, but no Keane with ITV world cup coverage, has ruined that for me.

I think he's always like that. Isn't it special needs or something. Or some learning difficulty.

Oh there's Gus Poyet. Sacked in 3....2....

It only dawned on me that the English media didnt actually hype them up at all this time, like the overkill of past tournaments.They finally got a bit of cop on.

Wait until they win a game and if they beat Italy, then God help us.

And as RTE coverage resumes, Bill can be seen slyly hiding away the shot glasses from view...

It's a different sort of sh*t but still a sh*t in the end.

Adamocovic

No disrespect to England but have they earned the right to be called possible winners? Like they are behind Switzerland in the rankings and no one is even mentioning them (A good bit behind too). England haven't in years shown the ability to win it, last was probably in the early 90s. I think it's just the reputation of an old England team that builds this sort of hype around them. Saying that, they'll probably make me look like a fool now and go on and do very well. :P

The one on itv is one where everyone has to evacuate the house such is the stink off of it. Rte can be flushed and all is forgiven.

Is the game on RTE viewable outside Ireland?

Use an Irish proxy or something

Honesty of effort there

Lack of creativity in a match where they beat the world champions 3-0?

There's Giles analysing some Brazil game from bloody years ago. :pac:

DeanAustin

I've defended Giles forever but I cannot believe he just used 1970 footage to get the point across that Brazil are a "functional team".

Real insightful John.

Jesus wept.

"David Luiz would be a liability playing in the League Of Ireland"

Fúck sake Dunphy.

Just so excited now, the greatest tournament in the World is only a couple of minutes.

The fact that it only happens every four years makes it even better every time it comes around.

Picking Spain to win it and France as the ones to spoil the home party.

vidor

FFS. Are all the WC threads going to quote what someone on the panel said?

I'd argue that the Euro's is better. All killer and no filler.
