For more giggles Fifa have given MOTM to Arjen Robben who did feck all during the game,Clasie,Vlaar,De Vrij or Blind should have got it.

Yeah Vlaar and Vrij were more impressive but Robben played part in all 3 goals. So far from feck all.

I just don't find this "paddywackery", funny captions, and the same skit over and over to be entertaining that's all.

As a 2 minute slot they occasionally get a few jokes right, but this extended drawn out thing is just painful.

Go on. Define "paddywackery" for me.

So the Dutch coach and Brazilian coach are wrong then?

Why wouldn't they be happy? Finishing third in a World Cup is a fantastic achievement.

That was a sarcastic end to an ongoing discussion.

I think third place play offs are great.

I think they should have 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th place play offs to fill the gaps between the Quarter Finals an the Final when there aren't games on every day.

Yes.

In Scolaris case he probably wanted to slink off home after the Germany game because he knew what was going to happen.

Ireland could play in the 33rd place play off!

Still haven't managed to define "paddywackery" have you? Genuinely looking for a definition of this, by the way.

I thought that was f'kin hilarious.

Fair play to them.

Nice touch playing out with The Ramones too.

Forget it..

Some people enjoy 2 grown lads chasing each other around a studio, "funny" captions and watching the same shtick over and over .. some don't

Tropic Thunder just started. That'll do.

Also Van Gaal didn't know what his players were going to be like for the match, whether they would show up or not. There was always the chance Brazil would come out firing and sullying the fine run he had (especially with the state of Brazil a few days ago), so he wanted to wash his hands clean of it. He looked pretty happy when the goals went in.

Apres match was class. Too late now but couldve been an idea to make it an apres match style match thread.

Bit like a football match.

Good first half but terrible second half.

I was disappointed with the Brazilian teams game, to call it a performance would be giving Brazil too much credit, but I really wished they scored a goal to give their loyal fans something to cheer about.

RTE 2's commentary and half time "analysis" was even more pathetic, I had to switch to the BBC to watch a professional half time discussion that pointed out the Dutch were offside in the second goal. When will RTE's standards improve?

You can't mix a legit comment with a trolling one-it just doesn't work

It was a fairly meaningless match. There was an "end of term" feel to RTE's coverage, before the serious stuff tomorrow night. They've been taking the piss out of the third/fourth place play off matches for the Euros and World Cup for a while now. Personally, I look forward to it. Tonight was very entertaining. BBC or ITV wouldn't have enough imagination to do something like it. Well done RTE.

Who gives a crap about whether a goal was offside in a 3rd place playoff? RTEs standards are far, far higher than the dullards they have on ITV, not withstanding the fact that the punditry was literally meant to be a joke today. Not sure where standards are supposed to come into it.

I am bewildered as to how you could be disappointed. They were pi$$ poor all the way through the first round, completely inept in their last match they continued at that level, as most people expected.

There was no analysis on RTE. It was a comedy skit. Most of it was not the best let us say ... but the last bit with the video analysis and diagram and the skit on the younger guy was absolutely priceless.

I agree wholeheartedly. It is always a very important match. 3rd place is an important prize and you could see in the game how very seriously the players took it. 100% commitment.

And even apart from all that it was worth it to see the Brazilians hammered yet again and Luis fulfilling all of Dunphy's 'head banger' assessments of him. Priceless.

Well, they were obviously told to liven the commentary up in line with the choice of panel.
But Kerr seemed to go overboard, with some quality slurring every now and then.

Obviously don't know for certain, but it ended up like some fella who thinks he knows it all down the pub.

It may have started there as well.

You mean like when Giles is talking about how players need to be "looking for the ball" and not sit back when they go in front, or when Dunphy is talking about how everything used to be better in the glorious old days when they played real football and the cancer destroying football, or when Brady is trying to be funny or generally making a pig's ear of the analysis?

But yeah Martin O' Neill, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, Gary Lineker etc. what the hell would those dullards know.

I'd say they were certainly winging it when "Dunphy" threw the strop about not having Joe Duffy and Derek Mooney in his dressing room.:D

I do. This is the World Cup 3rd place not just any random playoff. The fact that one of the teams was not good this year doesn't diminish it's value.

I could see RTE was putting on some sort of comedy from the bad wigs but I just didn't get it, I tuned in to watch a World Cup football match not some silly skit and expected something more intelligent from a national TV broadcaster.

Google the meaning of "knick, knack, paddy whack" and you'll get some idea of its original meaning.

It's a compromise so as not to make 2 people that have possibly had the **** beaten out of them from having to go at it again.

Not as much as Giles or Brady in their little fingers.

Mr.Micro

Pathetic Brasil found out again. Scolari saying the other day that the 7-1 thrashing by Germany was a one off. Lol, what a hopeless case he is, that's two now. No doubt he will stay on manager. Brasil kicked their way literally into the semi final, and I am not talking about the ball. FIFA paved the way....until the Germans showed them how to play.
