    The best of Dunphy

    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. "

    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. "

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

    On the Midfield* *- " United have nothing in midfield - they are a
    shambles. Any decent sides they meet will destroy them. "

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

    On Roy Keane - He's a gentleman. He's a class act. He's a rebel. And he
    stands up to bullies."

    On Roy Keane - "He's right, he's right about everything!"

    On Niall Quinn - "I'm not gonna address the Niall Quinn agenda, Niall
    Quinn is a creep"

    On Niall Quinn - "The man's an idiot, a Mother Theresa"

    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 Liam Brady and the vacant Irish Job - "It would have to be a young,
    hungry fighter. that rules out everybody here."

    On Harry Kewell - "Kewell should have been yanked off the pitch at half
    time and put in a hot bath, a boiling hot bath."

    On Harry Kewell again - "He's fat and a clown, Bill, a fat clown for
    all
    to see"

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

    On Jose Mourinho - "We'll all see through Mourinho. We'll find out he's
    just a Bengal lancer["

    On Ireland in the 2002 World Cup - "I will be supporting Germany and
    Saudi Arabia in the contests ahead."

    On Garth Crooks and Sven Goran Eriksson - "ha, ha, ha, that's the first
    time you'll see se* between 2 men live on the bbc"

    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...whats he trying to do to the full back here, Kill him??"


    On Liverpool v Barca* - *"I was hoping in the last fifteen minutes that
    Barcelona would beat them. I've made my mine up on Benitez tonight.
    He's
    a nice man but he's got a huge negative streak running through him.
    Liverpool were terrible in the second half. They didn't play football.
    If that was a concert, you'd boo. Gerrard: found out. A nothing player.
    They were terrible. Terrible"
    :whatever:

      He's mostly is good i enjoy him and he tells it how it is, He's kinda fickle sometimes. He does have a tendancy to go after Liverpool in previous seasons and this year laid off them an attacked Manure, but after the Barca match he got on Liverpools case again!!

          You'd think that from reading the above but really he's a great pundit. He gets really caught up in each match and slates eveyone and everything if the match is not played in an efficient professional manner. I dont think he really meant that about gerrard, but was frustrated by the amount of ball that Barca were allowed to have in the second half of the 2nd leg. As we all were to an extent.

          Between himself giles and brady - its the best punditry around. I cant watch bbc sky or itv's punditry because frankly its appalling, whereas the rte pundits have no agenda, no fear of the media's interpretation of their comments etc. Its such a pity you cant get rte in england cos i think these three pundits would be cult heroes if you could.

              They keep contradicting themselves though. After we beat PSV 3 - 0 away they were say how negative we were. Next morning on radio Brady said it was a fantastic performance and great result for us.

              Do you not notice that they always seem to suggest that when we win it is always because the opposition were poor?

              Incidentally its not mentioned above but Dunphy doesn't rate Ronaldo either, and I'm afraid that sums him up.
              "With Ron Yeats in defence, we could play Arthur Askey in goal."

                I've seen them before and I don't like them. Well, I like Giles but Brady's just a gormless, Arsenal-loving tit, and as for Dunphy...

                Yes, the punditry over here is abysmally anodyne, but I find the RTE lot (mainly Dunphy) just as unpalatable. They're at the other end of the scale - far from being bland and 'safe', it's controversial for controversial's sake. Ludicrous hyperbole and frankly ****tish statements of absolutely zero substance.

                RTE are just as bad as ITV/Sky/BBC, but for altogether different reasons. None of them offer any insight or balanced, well-thought out opinions.

                    RTE is the worst. Loved 'em at first, but as you say it quickly becomes tiresome.

                      Its the most free speaking analysis on tv they tell it how it is. I enjoy it but as you've said you dont, different strokes i guess

                        I think they only do it to be controversial. Where does slagging off everyone get you? Nowhere. Just the same as praising everyone gets you nowhere.

                        As far as Dunphy is concerned, if it's not Roy Keane it's ****.

                          i think dunphy has his good points though sometimes he gets it wrong especially after the barca game i was shocked what he was saying. though i still remember distinctly he was the only one who was still giving us a chance at half time in istanbul! that cisse quote is funny as fcuk!

                            Thing is though foxy, "tell it how it is" always means "come up with a load of sensationalist crap that might sound slightly plausible at first, but doesn't actually hold water, and is in fact largely bollocks".

                              You're right in some ways. However, Giles offers the most balanced insightful opinions of any pundit on tv at the moment. He picks up on the inoccuous elements of professional football (bread and butter defending etc) and highlights such things that other pundits ignore because they are not sensational. I agree that Brady is an arsenal-loving tit, and Dunphy is overly-controversial at times but the three of them together make for a fine and entertaining mix of views.

                              Im not saying that they're right all the time, or even most of the time, but at least they're giving their own honest opinions on players, matches, managers - something which is sorely lacking in relation to the Uk punditry.

                              I dont watch them because I agree with everything they say, but rather that I know im going to get honest straight talk about football, and not the rose-tinted infuriating drivel that is offered by sky and to a lesser extent the bbc.
