    Well Alan Shearer for the BBC.
    Ian Wright

    Much more in fairness.

    Do they comment on clubs they're currently employed by?

    thats a poor excuse for a post. If you're going to post then do a little bit of a background check to make sure you're not looking like an eejit....

    Brady was one of dozens of former managers linked to the Republic of Ireland manager's job after the sacking of Steve Staunton on 23 October 2007. On March 7th 2008, the Football Association of Ireland announced that Brady had agreed to become an assistant to newly appointed manager, Giovanni Trapattoni.[2] He will continue to work as Director of the Arsenal Youth Academy

    Shove it up your arse.

    Brady shouldnt have been on the commentary panel for either of the liverpool - arsenal games imo. he thinks its grand to sit there and watch a montage of ronaldo's "mistakes" during the SF against Milan last season but as soon as his precious is in the firing line the toys go out the pram.
    when it comes to analysis of arsenal and their football he is sorely lacking in the integrity and principles needed to do the right job. thats why he shouldnt have been there.

    he was annoyed that arsenal "were robbed" tonight and the other nights and it all obviously reached ahead as soon as they showed a frustrated arsene wenger. if hes gonna give fair and accurate analysis then he has to leave his arsenal hat at home, which he clearly didnt do.

    I'm not really surprised that Brady had a hissy fit during the ad break, sure he had a hissy fit during the show.

    There seemed to be a lot of sour grapes from Brady all night. Personally I agree with Pigman that he shouldn't comment on the Arsenal matches as he comes across as too biased. And likewise, Dunphy was right to call him on the fact that they are paid to be analysts and that means that all managers are prone to getting a bit of stick. If it was Fergie, Mourinho or Benitez they were having a pop at he wouldn't of had a problem. I don't blame him for being p1ssed off but that's what happens when you have a conflict of interests.

    RTE should not have Brady as pundit when Arsenal are playing, he is not impartial.

    agreed. and i'm an arsenal supporter. I think the only reason he's there is because of his attatchment to the irish naional team

    That's the thing about Brady. While it was all fine and dandy for him to do the Ireland matches as he is able to be partizan but when it comes to the club games Brady can't seem to leave the Arsenal hat behind him for the evening.

    It works for Sky Sports


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,477 ✭✭✭newbie2


    OK
    the latest news is that he asked to speak to the executive producer of the programme and the deputy head of sport (Ryle Nugent - yes Ryle Nugent) came in from home to speak to him.

    Hopefully Ryle gave him a kick in the nuts , told him to stop being a baby and to go home to his subbuteo.

    While true Dunphy doesn't do it as much as he used to do it though. :)

    Eh, don't Sky Sports have players in studio all the time? Injured etc so they come in to talk about their team?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker


    i don't expect or want an impartial opinion from brady,i know he's heavily involved with the arsenal set up.. anyone watch thommo on the saturday sky? i just love the way dunphy goads a reaction and then sniggers and snorts to himself. only pity is that it wasn't souness that was the victim, dunphy would be in a van with big blue lights!!! brilliant tv, beats that smarmy lineker,hansen,wrighty whatever lineup hands down

    To be fair I think even Dunphy would know what would happen to him if he started goading Souness :D
