THANKS Rory.
The one cnut in the whole load of medja twats that i hate above all others now backs us.
Does this put a big downer on the past week, or does this signify just how far we have came?
(one rifle, one bullet, two choices, Dumphuck of moaninho who to shoot?)

Wait until they are inline and one shot two scum removed job done.
 
Dunphy is always good for some of his comments down the years. Has slated everyone and every team. When a team plays well he will highlight it as well.

As for the rags its not hard to see were he is coming from. All there golden era players are coming to the end of there time now in football and whats there to replace them aint up to standard. They are now not the force they once were.

. He is best known as a soccer analyst on RTÉ's coverage of the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. A promising footballer, he left Dublin while still a teenager to join Manchester United as an apprentice. Dunphy did not break into the first team at United and subsequently left to play for York City, Millwall, Charlton Athletic and Reading. It was at Millwall that Dunphy made the most impact; he was considered an intelligent and skillful player in Millwall's midfield. Dunphy played 23 times for the Republic of Ireland and remains Millwall's most capped international football athlete. Dunphy was a member of "The Class of '71", the Millwall side that lost out on promotion to the old Division One by a mere decimal point.
Since the 1980s Dunphy has also written a number of books. His first and most widely praised book is Only a Game?: Diary of a Professional Footballer, which is an autobiographical account of his days playing for Millwall. Dunphy wrote a diary of his 1973–4 season which began well for him at second division Millwall but subsequently ended in disillusionment. Written during the season, it recorded events from the dressing room. In 1985 rock band U2 and manager Paul McGuinness commissioned him to write the story of their origins, formation, early years and the time leading up to their phenomenally successful album, The Joshua Tree. His book Unforgettable Fire - The Story of U2 was published in 1988. It received some favourable reviews, but critics close to the band spoke of many inaccuracies. A verbal war erupted in the press during which Dunphy called lead singer Bono a "pompous git".[7] Dunphy has also written a biography of long-serving Manchester United manager Matt Busby and in 2002 ghost wrote the autobiography of Republic of Ireland and Manchester United player Roy Keane.

Bet your sorry you asked.

No thanks lastman, genuinly never heard of him. Embarrassed to say as me brother lives in donegal as well! Ta for that!

Squirty expect you knew all the above you tit!!
 
If it wasn't for the fact that he thinks the sun shines out of the dog walker's arse, I'd like him. Doesn't take any prisoners in his analysis, and doesn't suffer fools gladly. He's a breath of fresh air in comparison to the Thompsons, Mersons, Crooks, Platts, etc etc.

Didnt he recently describe him as a Mr rent to quote?
 
The fact that some Irish media nobody thinks we are bigger than that rags, means nothing. They will finish above us this year and its up to us as a club to make it so, but until we do so, on the pitch lets not go overboard.
 
He's always good for a laugh..or a headache.
In the past he has torn Morhinio's Chelsea et co one for ruining football, posion.etc.
Rafa Gerrard..etc all shocking..
Arsenal (this was only the other week) no spine, no fight., pretty much pathetic.
He hated Ronaldo on so many levels it was funny.
He's a lot of time for players likes Scholes though..and Rooney. SO I wouldn't get that excited. He had his moments

That said, they all do it, while they mightn't rip into teams like he does, they'll all give the team a fair going that needs one and they don't hold back.

When Ireland don't qualify for the Euro's/WC and England do, we watch them purely for the fact that it's funny out.

He doesn't hold short.

His best bits..

Decided to bump this as nobody has mentioned the best line of the whole rant.
(Feel free to skip to the last paragraph for the punchline...)

RTE has the nickname of being MUTV2 in some quarters, such is their unashamed bias. (A few years ago, they would show the rags chump's league game and follow it with highlights of... the rags chump's league game. Oh, and ah sure if you're still awake lads, here's a round up of all tonight's other goals).

Anyway, anchorman, Bill O' Herlihy, is as bad as they come (occasionally referring to the rags as "we" and the opposition as "they" etc). He was desperately defending his beloved heroes against Dunphy (especially), John Giles and Ray Houghton's assertions that the rags are an ageing team with no money to spend.

"But Eamonn," he said, "what could an investor in United do to address this situation, if, as you say, it exists? I mean, if you were an investor or even a potential investor, what would you do, Eamonn?"
"I'd call for a glass of whiskey and a revolver, Bill!"

Made me laugh.

Don't get me started on O'Herlihy; the guy is a grade 'A' prick. He knows next to fuck all about football (sure I read somewhere that he's a GAA man), yet he's RTE's main presenter for their football shows.
 
Shame there is not the same concern for the Eirecom League teams.

It is no wonder they are rubbish when a country turns its back on its own league for a bigger league in a different country.
