I was praying theyd rip it out of Dunphy after his anti German rant.

I mean, he doesnt like Portugal (mainly Ronaldo) cos theyre "not workmanlike" then he rips on Germany for being workmanlike....u cant write comedy better than that!

"Gaffer Falls" though...classic!

I'm hoping they give them the 3rd place playoff game in its entirity as they did for the last world cup.

I thought I WAS watching Apres-Match until it actually came on! Last night, the real pundits were more hilarious than the apres-match fellas, who had something pre-recorded or in the can, as Liam would say. If they were "loyv", as O'Herlihy would say, they had plenty of material to ad lib on such as with the belief aspect.

I think "belief" has made a great name for itself after last night and replaced "conviction". A telling substitution by Dunphy with that moniker.

I can see it now after the final:

Bill: "So, in summary gentlemen, what did you think of this tournament?"

Eamo: "There was nobody good in it. It was pretty tame and simple stuff. No guile. No pizazz. Its a sad indictment on the modern generation to be honest Bill. No-one is playing in the streets anymore."

Would like to see a bit more of dunphy! The apres match lads have created some fan base in my opinion! One of the best comedies on RTE without a shodow of a doubt!

I agree. Leaving aside a few sketches that misfire, it must be the funniest thing RTE has ever done.

The funniest thing RTE ever did was having Miley in bed with Fidelma.

Class.

I'd love to see a panel of Dunphies, commenting on each other's punditry. "His delivery is arch, Bill. It's snide. It smacks of the effete banter of the Sunday supplement, not the solid working-class slagging of the terrace. He's forgotten his roots. It's shallow. It's a joke."

F**k you I have the fricking Glenroe music stuck in me head now!

Did rte ever broadcast that episode where Miley was caught in a compromising position with a sheep?

Interesting that the "badger badger" sketch is winning the online poll.

gracehopper · 26-06-2008 10:40am

Not apres related but as funny as.

Did anyone hear Bill say last night. "you know the two german centre half's are known as the twin towers, and of course they were destroyed" :eek:

Yeah I noticed that, and the fact that the others tried to change tack by saying "yeah and they move the same way as the twin towers"

Also, Bill doing a parody of himself by saying "Coming up after the break we have Germany v Turkey.....Loyv" and then giggling to himself..

apres match enjoy pointing this out, but does anyone think that the punddits need to stop using bills name at the end of every sentence?! its as if he is after forgetting who he is!

Trotter · 26-06-2008 2:42pm

He always says "Okie Doak" too!

Sherifu · 26-06-2008 7:42pm

The way Brady was saying Gaffer Falls was brillaint.

As was Gyles hosting the show.

And then the thongs...

kmart6 · 26-06-2008 10:01pm

''There he is...on the Luas, thinking about shopping''

Love it....:D

''That is Bullsh1t''

monkey9 · 26-06-2008 10:01pm

Ha HA. This is brilliant

On the Luas, were you??

sionnach · 26-06-2008 10:01pm

darkskol · 26-06-2008 10:04pm

Classic

BaZmO* · 26-06-2008 10:07pm

That was brilliant.I thought they were just being random talking about the Luas until they showed the clip. And then the Spanish bloke doing the Luas too. Brilliant!

26-06-2008 10:09pm

Bollocks......sh1t! :pac:

kryogen · 26-06-2008 10:15pm

i really do think they should ditch some of the other skits they do though.

That was hilarious.
The irelands got analysis sketches were fairly poor though but it looks like they're back to the good stuff

madds · 26-06-2008 11:06pm

What was wrong with Dunphy after they came back from the ad break earlier. He looked rightly p*ssed with someone off camera to his left, and was clearly pointing at them as Bill was trying to restart the analysis. Dunphy was a little unsettled for few seconds and kept looking off camera.

Wonder if the Apres Match guys will include that in their skit on Sunday?

scholes19 · 27-06-2008 12:18am

I'm kinda disappointed that there is only 2,possibly 3 sketches left. That apres match crowd are most entertaining!:pac::pac:

I-Bleed-White · 27-06-2008 9:18am

Just saw the Gaffer Falls one and nearly creamed myself. Hilarious

"Steve Staunton and Brian Kerr are locked in a game of cribbage"

Back to the good stuff alright.

grames_bond · 27-06-2008 9:51am

im genuinely dissapointed that there is no 3rd/4th place playoff, just for apres match to get to host it!!

monkey9 · 27-06-2008 10:22am

The old Tony Adams arm in the air ploy will now always be referred to as 'doing the Luas'

Maybe you should contact the Russian and Turkish FA's and ask them if they'd be interested in a play off?

RTÉ should just give them a seperate podcast for the final.

they were really really weak. they never really developed any of their ideas properly. I mean the Sellotanta sports digs were probably the best idea they had, but they never really went past that initial 30 secs and resorted to cheap gags like the boxing glove to no real effect. even their last effort today was admirable but meh...

_blank_ · 29-06-2008 11:42pm

I didn't like tonight's one.

It's a pity Brady is gone, best character in it now, imo.

Surpassed Dunphy.

tdv · 30-06-2008 12:22am

Yeah Brady was the best out of all the Apres charachters. The way he talked & said "Bill" was great.

_blank_ · 30-06-2008 12:26am

Which one on the RTE Website has the "Luas" thing?

He might still be able to be used. Post Ireland match interviews. Though that may depend on us qualifying for 2010

Last nights one was good....still cant figure out the LUAS one...ah il look at them all later again!!I'd imagine they'll use Brady again.
