Next week he'll be chatting to Jim Power and call small businesses the life blood of the economy and how this has the potential for total economic catastrophe.

Chalk McHugh wrote: » Listened to this weeks football podcast there and Dunphy pontificating about the payper view for the Liverpool v Sheff Utd game said 'a lot of Liverpool fans wouldn't have much money'. A silly comment. Do Liverpool fans have less money than others on average? Was the game even on payper view? I'd rather Giles set up his own podcast as i find Dunphy to be insufferable.

This (I assume non-scientific) article from 2018 has them in lower half of league: https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-football-highest-earning-premier-league-supporters-have-been-revealed-20180802 And yes - it was PPV in UK. Premier Sports had it in Ireland though.

So what if Dunphy said something like here in Ireland it is tough on Leitrim, Meath or Carlow or any other counties people to afford pay per view as they don't have much money? I don't think that would be a nice thing to say. Absolutely no need for saying that about Liverpool fans. Or any other fans.

Chalk McHugh wrote: » Interesting piece about Dunphy's fractious relationship with Liam Brady in the 80's on the Journal. Shows what Dunphy's all about really. Runs with the hares and hunts with the hounds. Criticised him for years as a journalist, saying he was over rated and often mentioning Brady's wealth and him being a 'millionaire' and not looking interested when playing for Ireland. Really gave Brady a hard time by the looks of it. Then in typical Dunphy style at the 1990 World Cup he does a complete 360 degree u turn and rips into Jack Charlton for not playing this 'great' player. Dunphy is a complete spoofer with a nasty streak in him.

In relation to Brady specifically, I well remember a vicious article after Ireland had lost a Euro qualifier at Dalymount 3-2 to Holland having been 2-0 up ( with a young Rudd Gullit pulling the strings) . Dunphy savaged Brady afterwards. A quote that has always stuck in my mind "he is often spoken of as a great player, he is nothing of the kind." Now fast forward to the RTE panel where Dunphy would regularly refer to John and Liam as "great players". Remember him savaging Giles too after Saipan, when he dared to disagree with him over the Roy Keane issue. He said some really nasty things about Giles at the time. Giles proved himself to be the bigger man by even speaking to Dunphy again. Not sure I would have. He was happy to lick the arse of Delaney too while he was in power, which in the scheme of things is a far bigger crime. In Tighes book now he's trying to come across as sceptical about the whole thing. He was one of the few people at the time with the real profile and power to put the boot into Delaney, the way he did to every Irish manager. Not a squeak out of him though. Too busy sucking up to Delaney for Man U tickets.
