    Bloody hell RTE... I'm sure the lads could have talked rubbish for 30 mins, it's the World Cup... it's rare for me to complain about some classic Simpsons, but come on.

    BLASPHEMY!!!

    Just Bill's last tournament I thought?

    Will miss him though and his planned stupid questions just to set the boys off :D

    "I was reading in the paper this morning, this English journalist thinks David Luiz is a great player, what do you think about that Eamon?"

    The England team visited an orphanage in Brazil today.It was heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope.

    Happened years ago. It's been a cringefest for so long at this stage.

    ITV is soooooo boring. Simpsons until RTE returns it is.

    RTE should have went for the Father Ted episode with the over 75's football tournament.

    You didn't see ITV at the beach so. The laddish nonsense on BBC with shearer and rio will be worse.

    Adrian Chiles is too smug and cocky for my liking.

    He thinks he's hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Eurosport have Joey Barton as part of their coverage if anybody fancies it. :pac:

    Best coverage on television for years imho, I can't stand the blandness on other channels . Even panellists that toe the line elsewhere open up on RTE , all great stuff. We will miss them when they are gone.

    Ha ha ITV have England as a Dark Horse! Best they could do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    I'm stuck watching ITV coverage, really not a fan of Adrian Chiles, his attempt at dry sarcastic punditry just annoys me and comes across as if he doesn't know what he is talking about. Only good thing was watching Roy Keane's reactions when Chiles said something silly, but no Keane with ITV world cup coverage, has ruined that for me.

    I think he's always like that. Isn't it special needs or something. Or some learning difficulty.

    It only dawned on me that the English media didnt actually hype them up at all this time, like the overkill of past tournaments.They finally got a bit of cop on.

    Wait until they win a game and if they beat Italy, then God help us.

    And as RTE coverage resumes, Bill can be seen slyly hiding away the shot glasses from view...

    It's a different sort of sh*t but still a sh*t in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    No disrespect to England but have they earned the right to be called possible winners? Like they are behind Switzerland in the rankings and no one is even mentioning them (A good bit behind too). England haven't in years shown the ability to win it, last was probably in the early 90s. I think it's just the reputation of an old England team that builds this sort of hype around them. Saying that, they'll probably make me look like a fool now and go on and do very well. :P
