    We should start keeping track of Dunphy quotes. The man contradicts himself constantly and knows absolutely nothing!

    From memory.

    "The Irish national squad have better players than Inter Milan"
    "Mascherano is overrated"
    "I know Liverpool fans and they dont think Rafa is the bees knees"
    "Barcelona are a nothing team"
    "Ronaldo is a puffball"
    "You look at the Inter Milan squad and they just dont have enough quality in their team"
    "Seville are a better team than Liverpool & Inter Milan"
    "This match is over, Liverpool are out of the champions league" (Half time in Istanbul)
    "O'Shea would get into the Inter team"
    "Cordoba is a nothing player'
    "Roma won Seria A last season(06/07)"
    "The European Cup is bigger than the World Cup...."
    "Niall Quinn is a creep"
    "I'll tell you about that guy, that gutter journalist, he is the guy that left his wife and ran away with a young one"

    Anyone else got any ?

    In fairness to him on that score I dont think there was anyone who said or thought any different at the time.



    He was on form tonight though.

    I'll add new ones to original post. If any of mine are worded wrong, let me know.

    He's right about Mascherano. I like him but the guy is not worth 17 million, someone like Iniesta is worth 17 million.

    Tusky how does he 'know nothing'? Football is constantly changing, an opinion can change with a blink of an eye.

    "O'Shea would get on the Inter team". I felt he was embarrassing tonight - prob because Souey was there. I missed Brady actually as a calming influence on him.

    Please stop listening to him, by listening to him you are keeping him in the job! If nobody listens to him he'll go away :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,968 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Ronaldo is good but could he drive the train to Cork?
    Stamm has the turning circle of a tractor
    For John Hartson to improve he needs to lost 2 stone (and circles his ass on TV)

    These may not be word for word perfect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    His whole rant about Italian teams being past it and not even close to theforce they were years ago, I was waiting on John Bill or Graham to ask him "Eh Eamon, which country are the current World Champions?"

    "And eh Eamon, which club side are the current European Champions?" Souness manfully tried to get in the Italy being world Champions point but not one of them mentioned Milan. I don't scream at tellys but I very nearly did tonight!

    I agree. Normally I quite like him but tonight he just seemed a bit aggressive or something...

    Yeah that was absolutely ridiculous. They currently hold the most propitious honors in international and European club football.

    Obviously they are not in stature, but this year I reckon Seville would have as good a chance as any team to knock both Liverpool and Inter if they drew them next...


    'Ireland are a better team than Inter Milan'
    'Cordoba is a nothing player' (Just because he's from S.America and not Brazillian/ Argentine)

    He also mentioned Roma winning Serie A last season.. Hahahaha... The mans a genius.

    Dunphy = Muppet

    RTE only keep him for the contoversial factor which brings viewers in.

    I lost all respect for him when he took sides with roy keane years ago.

    I think Sevilla would cause us big trouble alright. I was relieved we did not draw them in the last 16.

    "They didn't have the bottle Bill, they didn't have the bottle"

    - From tonights game. Camera turns straight to Bill with the usual cheeky grin on his face. I'll upload later. Classic.

    I rate Seville very highly but I still think its a bit of a silly comment when you look what Liverpool & Inter Milan have won in recent years compared to Seville.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭herbieflowers


    the mods should just sticky a SDunphy thread, there's one about him everytime RTE show a live game ffs!

    "No, no, I reject that. That is an INSULT"

    I'm not basing it on what Inter or ourselves have won recently but on Sevilla now.

    If we all close our eyes he'll disappear.Here's hoping :)

    Think he may have been refering to Steve "Im the boss, im the gaffer" Staunton here. God.... remember Stan?

    "The European Cup is bigger than the World Cup...."

    The only thing I found cringeworthy although we will probably get a few of the posters on here lying to themselves saying that Man Utd (a massive European team) winning the Champions League would bring them more joy than a country of a mere 4 million winning the WC.

    It probably is a stronger cup though.

    What made it funnier as well was just as he went on a rant about how Utd beat Roma 7-1 last year and they were champions at the time and how Italian football was a joke league, the result showing roma had beaten real madrid tonight scrolled up on the bottom of the screen.

    Someone give the graphics man a pat on the back. :)

    They're very much like ourselves - a team who produce in Europe. And I have €40 on them for the Champions League since the start! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I went into Paddy Power in February last year to place a bet on them winning it this year, but they didn't let me.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,803 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    The guy is a total fool.
    Its embarrassing how often he contradicts himself,a total and utter gob****e.
    I think Souness must sit there thinking ,"wtf am i doing here with these 2 hasbeens,is this the best i can do?"

    Arsenal playing in the community shield would bring me more joy than a world cup win.

    Dunphy tells it as he sees it which is a valuable quality in a pundit.
    He doesn't always get it right but he gets it right more than anyone other than Giles and Brady and I'm including in that all of the english punditry teams.

    Half of the things quoted here already are right for crying out loud. The European Cup IS the biggest, most important championship in world football. Any team Liverpool can beat comfortably at the moment aren't a very good team (and I'm saying that as a Liverpool supporter). Again, as a Liverpool supporter, I don't think Benitez is "the bees knees" and Mascherano has yet to impress me. Certainly, I don't see 17 million in him.

    And I'm still at a loss to understand how people can fault Keane for standing up to that idiot McCarthy. Ok, he could have handled it better but he was in the right at the start and McCarthy sided with the suits (you know, the guys who hired Staunton) instead of the players.

    They are 6th in the league and all they have won recently is the Uefa Cup!

    I'm honestly not trying to start and argument with you and I dont want to offend...but I find that comment mind boggling. Anyone who knows anything about football can see that the boy is class.
