The Stand With Eamon Dunphy

Yeah, the real animosity was clear by the end, though I think Morgan managed to maintain some dignity. Dunphy was reduced to really cheap stuff.

I know it's from over 23 years ago, but Dunphy comes across fairly terribly in that snippet - a real self-satisfied bully.

Your bias is apparent.

The Elon Musk podcast was pretty all over the place.

Yeah Dunphy didnt have a clue. The chat with Dermot Gileece was excellent for anyone with any interest in golf

Bernie Sanders(79) is the runaway leader among Democrat voters for 2020 presidential election.

Hope this is discussed on the next US podcast;

and his supporters are trying to stymie Beto O'Rourke's chances to ensure that he doesn't end up being a proper challenger.

Yes, was quite irritating how Eamo displayed no real awareness of the subject and continually interrupted the conversation flow from his guest. Ordinarily Eamo is good at the long form / detailed expertise but on this occasion it's like he was much further out of his depth.

I enjoyed the Elon episode. It was like chatting to your grand-uncle about it. He was enthusiastic, but I don't know if he understood it.

I thought it was poignant when Eamo said he wouldn't be around to see Elon's dreams potentially come to fruition.

This is a bugbear of mine on what is otherwise an excellent podcast. He is not quite at the Marian Finucane level of interrupting guests but he doe stilt a lot of conversation flow with needless interruptions.

The recent horse racing ones were great.

Agree, the Ted Walsh one in particular was brilliant.

Eamo is not a fan of the Gardaí. In fairness, the levels of unprofessional-ism are flabbergasting.

I feel very sorry for the majority whose good reputation is being tarnished by these backward fools.

He also did an excellent long interview on off the ball just before Christmas. Available as a podcast.

Another Golf one with Dermot Gilleece dropped this evening. Hopefully Eamon can make him his regular golf go to.

Gotta say I'm no big golf fan but I'd listen to Dermot all day long.

dastardly00

I really enjoyed the first Dermot Gilleece podcast, I haven't heard the latest one yet. Even if you're not a big golf fan I still think it's worth listening to Gilleece. He's one of those guys that you could listen to no matter the topic.

I must listen to the Ted Walsh interview, I think I'll like it.

Nice pod there recently on the "Magic of the Cup".

I lol'ed when Eamon asked did Gilesy remember meeting the Duke of Edinburgh before the 62 Cup final and Jonny goes "no, I don't actually ..............and the funny thing is, he doesn't remember meeting me either!"

Yeah I really liked - Giles came across really well - giving away the cup final tickets and being honoured by the whole occasion and getting to meet the 1948 team

I normally skip the football ones (because, you know, football), but I did listen to this. Some memory on Giles too. Very enjoyable.

applehunter

Informative interview with Niall Stanage re : Govt Shutdown.

John Hutton

Very powerful interview with Vicky Phelan. Dunphy is very good at these interviews

theoneeyedman

Will listen to the vicky phelan one later, but I did listen to the soccer pod with John Giles and Didi
Hamman and it was shockingly bad.

Now, I normally give Eamo and Giles a wide berth, some might enjoy them but I normally give them a miss as they are like 2 old farts rehashing the same tired clichés... If lads enjoy listening to them fair enough but you know... Anyway I tuned in because I hadn't heard Didi in a while and was interested in his opinions for a change.

What annoyed me was some of the factual details Eamo got so wrong... 1: Mo Salah got a yellow card at the weekend for diving (he didn't) 2: Bayern have offered 80 million quid for a young lad from Chelsea (the highest figure I've seen quoted was 35 million) 3: Mauricio Pachetino has hit out in recent days at Spurs hierarchy for not buying players (I've seen no reports on this anywhere recently.)

There were others, but these basic untruths would call into question the amount of research and editing on the pod. I know Eamo. Is a loose cannon at the best of times, but if he can make up stuff like this, it would put a shadow over the accuracy etc of the more serious issues he covers, like the garda whistle-blower story (with the excellent Mick Clifford) and the aforementioned Vicky Phelan interview.

I like to think Eamonn has a split personality.

The complete gob****e when talking about soccer.

The measured and informed journalist when discussing anything else.

Everything about Eamon's interviews with Nicola is old and repetitive at this point. The same old crap out of him the whole time about cocaine being a middle class drug. Rubbish.

Coke has been the drug of choice for anyone with a day's wages and an arse in their trousers for the past 15 years, even during the recession. The quality of ecstasy plummeted in the early 00s and coke took a hold. E, and its offshoots, strengthened again but it's not social in the way that coke is and won't get a hold the way it once did.

I'm from a working class community and I work in the commercial law sector, so I see I wide range of class types in both environments. Coke is the drug of choice for them all and their net salary has nothing got to do with that choice.

dulpit

At least he freely admits that he has been a drug user in his past, would be a bit disingenuous of him if he didn't.

He does have a right horn about the Regency shooting though, his pieces with Nicola Tallant have become very repetitive.

neris

listening to some of the premier league round ups and previews when he has giles on and johnny seems to have lost his sense of humour and gone very serious when talking about things teams have done in a game. dunphy made a smart remark about johnny wearing his man city shirt the other day and he nearly lost the plot with dunphy. far more light hearted when hes brady & hamann on

Haha.. I thought this was hilarious. Eamon's always having sly little digs at Giles because he doesn't have the same bizarre vendetta as him against Pep.

Today's with Mick Clifford re childrens hospital is very good, heads will have to roll

jeremyj1968

Mick Clifford is always excellent and balanced. The podcast was a good listen but Eamonn should have left out all the references to the nurses as it just sounded populist, and wasn't relevant to the conversation. And he seems to think that the nursing unions would be flexible in making changes to working practices which is bizarre, given the history of unions and their penchant for doing a shakedown of the the Government for even the most minor of changes to running any public service department. Like I said should have just left it out of this particular discussion.

Mick Clifford is brilliant, if he goes after the Health service he could bring down the HSE.

He's one of only a few investigative journalists left. He's always worth reading and listening to.

There's a core honesty about him that is endearing about him as well though. When Eamonn tried to blow smoke at him about how he was the only one who had taken Maurice McCabe's side of the story, Mick interrupted him and gave due credit to Katie Hannon and others to make sure that the credit was spread around.

I agree, he could based on his work with Maurice McCabe.

The podcast on the children's hospital didn't suggest either of them knew much about the construction process. Even less about how tenders work, especially in the public sector.

There was no mention of how the scope of the project has changed. Just half an hour of repeating the same numbers over and over again. There was nothing to be learned from this one that wasn't already reported on the hourly radio news.

Hopefully Mick is just beginning his research.

Very good interview with Eamon, covers his upbringing, the current homelessness crisis and he has a few digs at RTE.

Found the latest pod to be really interesting and insightful. Lara Marlowe is a good guest, seems fairly balanced in her views and gave a good account of what is happening in France, and beyond. If you've been following the "gillet janues" story, you probably won't learn anything new but I found it was a good concise summary of proceedings in France.

If only Dunphy would stop talking over his guests...

Thought it was terrible. Dunphy kept returning to how hard he had his family had it when he was a child. Ran down people in rte; that Billo should have being left in the job, that Giles should being left in the job. That basically him and his mates all past 70 should have been left at it. He needs to accept he was an employee and his managers dispensed of his services when they believed it to be the right time.

Everyone’s got their own attitude to dunphy but when you hear his analysis and how hard it is for him to get through sentences without making factual errors it’s hard to think of him as anything other than a very successful bluffer.

CatFromHue

I didn't think it was terrible but I did think there were some holes in his arguments.

Eoin O'Brion went to Blackrock, Paul Murphy The Institute, and Boyd Barrett to Michaels. All fee paying schools and all are vocal on the housing situation so I'm not sure how much class comes into it.

Listening to the latest podcast on Trump & the states, Dunphy doesnt seem to have the same vitriol & anti Trump bias that every other journalist and radio show host has for him.

I think that is a conscious position, the logic of which goes that as Trump is firmly established as a figure to be derided, media can get away without applying any analysis or scrutiny. If you avoid that guff, then you have a chance to consider Trump as a president and not as a clown.

Would think Trump is aware that a media charicature serves him well, it simultaneously emboldens his supporters and buffers his critics.

So I think Eamo is 100% right here.

I'm excited about Mick Clifford being the host.

Smart move by Eamo, it could work out well for him.

Hope Eamo is ok

Podcast out this morning with Eamonn presenting. Assume its one he did in the last few days before taking time off

jeremyj1968

John Waters spoke about the interview from last year with Eamo and why he got so angry. Video up on youtube on Gemma O'Doherty's channel.
