A Propper Pundit

[martyfree]

I know sometimes he talkes through his hole but at least it beats the shite on BBC and SKY


Eamon Dunphy Quotes
On Luis Garcia:
"They (Liverpool) should put Garcia where he belongs - in the dustbin."

On Djibril Cisse:
"here we have Cisse, right wing, attempts to put in a cross, BANG...hits the full back, again BANG hits the full back, BANG...off the full back again, and once more, BANG...smacks the full back again.... Millions of euro and he can't clear the first man, I mean...what's he trying to do to the full back here, Kill him??"

On Harry Kewell:
"Kewell should have been yanked off the pitch at half
time and put in a hot bath, a boiling hot bath."
"Fat and a clown. A fat clown for all to see."

On Rio Ferdinand:
"Ferdinand is a clown. He was a liability for the
first goal and he is always a liability. It was Jan Vennegoor of
Hesselink against Rio Ferdinand of Barclays Bank."
"a tramp"

On Fabio Cannavarro:
"If Rio Ferdinand is worth £100,000 a week, then
this guy is worth €100 million . . . . . a day"

On Liam Brady (After Ireland lost a two goal lead against Holland in 1983):
"He is often looked on as a great player. He is nothing of the kind. His performance on Wednesday was a disgrace, a monument to conceit adorned with vanity and self-indulgence, rendered all the more objectional by the swagger of his gait. He was deemed by many observers to have had a splendid game."

On Niall Quinn:
"I'm not gonna address the Niall Quinn agenda, Niall
Quinn is a creep"
"The man's an idiot, a Mother Theresa"

On Barcelona:
"After watching Watford against Manchester City last night
that was like a bubblebath. It was beautiful."

On Garth Crooks and Sven Goran Eriksson:
"ha, ha, ha, that's the first time you'll see sex between 2 men live on the BBC"

During the coverage of Euro 2004:
"You need dictatorships and poverty to produce great footballers."

On Christiano Ronaldo:
the way Ronaldo "clicks his heels", is the "most wicked thing in the game." "a simple cheat" "Poof ball"

On Mick McCarthy:
"He's one of the biggest whingers in world football... he's a bloody eejit."

On Kevin Kilbane:
"Kilbane's head is better than his feet. If only he had three heads, one on the end of each leg."

On John Giles:
"Usually it takes a bottle of Bacardi and a gallon of Coke to get John out of his seat."

On Michael Carrick:
"Carrick was signed for Spurs a few years back for £3m. That's the level he is at. He is a nothing player. He is one-paced. He doesn't have the personality to always get on the ball like a United player should. "

Before the Liverpool .v. Real Betis game at Anfield when Roy Keane announced his retirement from football Bill O'Herlihy stated that in the column about Roy a journalist called him a thug. Dunphy continued roaring at Bill asking him who's column it was. Bill replied it was on the back page of the Sunday Times. "Look at it" he told Eamon. Eamon still pestered him asking who wrote it. Bill replied "I can't remember his name". Eamon continued saying:
"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

On about the Fergie V Strachen feud:
Eamon: "Scots they're either nice or they're horrid and these two are horrid.
Bill: "The Scots wont like that Eamon, thats bordering on racism".
Eamon: "Its not racism its ethnic criticism Bill".

On the stubborn climate which exists in the board room at Real Madrid:

"Bill, Bill... those directors over there are on another planet. They're on mushrooms or something...THEY'RE ON ACID BILL!!!"

On John Hartson:

'Bill, Hartson is not a 7million pound player....its a disgrace, a shambles! This is the state of football today Bill. I have a clip here of why Hartson is NOT a £7million player....Roll it there Bill! (literally 1 second in to the clip) OKAY, HOLD IT THERE BILL!!! (draws a circle around Hartson's arse) Bill, that is NOT the arse of a £7million player!''

That Hartson one is quality.

I think Dunphy is a loadmouth bogtrotter. That's not racism by the way, it's ethnic criticism.

He was right about Hartson though. And Kewell.

[NIred1]

He's funny when you're in the mood. For instance I didn't watch last night but I have chuckled at many of the things he has said whether or not I agree with them.

It is racism.

But I'm sure you meant it in a funny way so thats ok. Did you like Bernand Manning?

Some great clips linked to this:
Eamon Dunphy Appreciation Society <LegendaryDunphy>

He's a twat btw but entertaining.

Souness, now there's a cunt of grade A proportions!

no. Fat honky cunt.

[loadsoftrophies]

Dunphy is brilliant, pure entertainment. If people take him too seriously then they're missing the point.

[ReddOrDedd]

The Hartson comment is ace. I've seen Dunphy on Youtube a bit, and although he's out of his tree, sometimes he nails it, and and at least he isn't Gray, Redknapp, fucking Tyldesley et al.

Is there any way to watch RTE in England?

[Red Mist]

He's a fucking twat. Who the fuck does he think he is to be calling other players crap? He was a nobody, a garbage player who won nothing and accomplished nothing as a player. Yet he's having a go at footballers who have made a far greater impact than he ever made.

[Whelan5]

NEVER thought Id see the day Dunphy was discussed on this site. Bizzare.

Read loadsoftrophies post again.

Yes he is a bit of a tit and annoys the fuck out of me at times, but at least he gives opinions not the shite you hear on Sky & BBC.
Can anyone remember a controversial opinion form Sky or BBC (Excluding Hansen's)

I don't take the words of a former footballer who did fuck all in his career seriously. Especially when his favourite hobby is licking the arsehole of Roy Keane. He's a twat who shouldn't be given air time for his worthless views.

Yes but if you don't take him too seriously some of his comments are funny.

lol, you mean a loudmouth who happens to be a bogtrotter, ethnic criticism is a nice turn of phrase.

Watched the game on RTE last night and he did say some good things bout us, he said we were brave and should have had the two pens (Babel and Hypia) Bill the host of the programme made the point that Benitez comments bout Drogba going down easily may have hindered us in those two decisions, he may have been right too. Thats not a criticism of Rafa he needed to make those points.

It's just entertainment. If you find it offensive, you're missing the point. He's literally a professional wind-up merchant, and I find it entertaining even when he's talking complete shite (which he often is).

And it's not as if he's alone as a pundit who had a mediocre career. See Sky Sports. Moreover, quite a few journeymen have become good pundits. See Michael Robinson in Spain; he's widely respected there, and deservedly so.

The point of a pundit is to say something. And if all you have to offer is a ragbag of banalities, great former player though you may have been, just keep your mouth shut.

Dunphy is great, he has no line. But you must be in the mood for him.

Was excellent on tuesday night, Souness was on a bit of a rant and Dunphy interrupted him and Souness said "Sorry Eamonn, what position did you play again?" - Dunphy shut it and Souness went on with his rant.

Was Quality.

Souness is really getting into the spirit of it lately. He was a bit shell shocked at first but he's finding his feet.

Apparently Souness started crying during YNWA before the Anfield leg of the semi.

That show badly needed a voice from Liverpool. Brady, Giles, Dunphy ripped us to shreads every single week.

Some funny quotes.

Pity he's a cunt who knows fuck all about football.
