I read in Liam Horans column on the back of the sports section that Bertie Ahern and Eamon Dunphy in guest slots might be presenting the Sunday game next year. I persume he was joking.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

The term "yanking the chain" comes to mind Economic.

**K-9** · 19-01-2009, 23:48

Dunphy would be interesting.

I'd gladly take either if it means getting Spillane out of the hot seat.

Austin 3:16 · 20-01-2009, 00:47

Yeah, it'd be great to have Spillane back spuing more "orgasmic" analysis from pundits chair.

It could be just me but I would like to see pat Spillane on his arse outside RTE...legend of a footballer ..annoying pundit crap presenter. yer man of TG4 should be given the top job, Im fairly sure he speaks engerish

And thats the bottom line.

At least you footballers can relate to what he asks, given his footballing background. But the man just hasn't a clue regarding the hurling. It's like he's reading off a script written by a transition year working in RTE on work experience.

Personally I'd love to see him back as a pundit he added more to the show there then he does now. Most of the pundits on the show are too restrained and afraid to say what they really think.

That's what you get when you have one thousand monkeys working at one thousand typewriters.

As a football man myself I have to agree Pat Spillane should not be presenting and adding comment on hurling when he has no background in it. If the shoe was on the other foot I would be well pissed off if someone like Cyril Farrell was presenting the football and giving me his opinion on something he knows nothing about. There should be two separate presenters for hurling and football IMO

Dunphy would be ~~interesting~~ controversial. Two different things.

Spewllane is Dunphy mark 2. Both lack integrity and bore the crap outta me.
