You'd be surprised how many sentences I finish with Bill's name.

"He doesn't know what he's talking about, Bill"

"Rubbish, Bill."

"The dream is over, Bill."

Ha, it is the same with "Ted".................. The Fr. Dougal effect

Dunphy is dead on, the panel often times were way more interesting than the actual game

Love Bill's mischievous grin in that clip

I really dislike football, but I always enjoyed watching that panel.

Whenever the panel went off on a mad one, Bill would always have that little smirk on his face. He was such a messer. :pac:

What is the issue with this? Can't he go where he wants?

Bill and Ted, two greats, both gone now

For all the bitching we (I) do about RTE, they do sport - especially big tournaments - extremely well.

So, what? He was Bill's best friend. Makes sense that he would be there.

He's probably waiting for his cut out of the charity money...

Didn't Jason Sherlock present on that show aswell

Dunphy talking sense there,

If I could have all the hours I spent watching Sport on TV back... I'd watch a lot more Sport on TV

Ally Dick

Darragh is not a good replacement for Bill. Too boring

Yeah, second row seat.

Ironic how the worst presenter in RTE is hosting a tribute to the best.

Atlantic Dawn

Gas the old days in Ireland, lads blocklaying and out farming in 3 piece suits.

Lady Chatterton

Bill had a great accent, he never lost his Cork twang.

tafkach

And the little soft, meek voice on him.... hiding the greedy b*stard that we all know he is..

They had some excellent "adventures", along the way all the same!!

Bill was a tobacco lobbyist he would be well in with Frank Flannery

I remember him hosting with another gobby blonde who went on to bigger things too!!was it the same show??

Ol' Donie

Bill's Second Captains interview is well worth a listen.

He's most famous for getting the lads to talk, but he was a brilliantly articulate fella. Great talker.

Flannery makes my blood boil.

Don't agree, I think he is very good and has potential to be excellent with time

Lady Chatterton

How did Ryle become the head of RTE Sport?

tafkach

lol... on the subtitles (which are on on my TV for some reason), they called him RILE Nugent... :-)

He did, I loved that.

And I loved when Bill would laugh at something off camera, but couldn't help himself.

We'll never get another Bill, but Darragh is not too bad. Can't see anyone else on RTE who'd do a better job.

The Grip was nugents kids TV show

I disagree, Darragh Maloney is a fine presenter. It is an intimidating role to go into and break up the "Old Boys club" but although he doesn't have that wit of Bill, he is a smart and well able to stir up analysis and conversation after the game.

BunkMoreland

Nice blonde boobs, pan the camera

No one could replace Bill, but I think Darragh is very good.

Frightening to think of Derek Davis and Bill O'Herlihy gone in the space of two weeks

Been involved in sports journalism since a very young age. Got into RTE at a young age too. Must have worked his way up.

Mick Dowling, now there's another absolute gent.

Skid X

Love RTE's Olympics coverage too.

Bill talking Sport for hours and hours. All day.

I hate these odd numbered years with no Olympics and no World Cup.

Poor Bill, this time last week still with us and even went to IFTA's last Sunday.
