Hypocritical bunch of ******s. They called Rafa all season last year, saying it was the tatics or this or that. Never the fact the players were a bunch of useless arseholes who played like they were not fit to wear the red shirt! The media and those in the media drive their own agenda. -

I love em, been checking them out after games on rte, and also online.
Very funny, some of the lines are class
I'm wondering if they go down as well in uk though.
For me some of the funnier ones are with the ones taking the piss out of the regular RTE panellists and I suppose UK people wouldn't have seen the panellists to know how well they mimic them.
With some of the **** games that have been on though, they've been the only thing enjoyable afterwards

Cheers certifiable. The following shows the difference in BBC's and RTE's analysis of the England v Slovenia match:Originally posted by certifiable View PostFair play liverpel for uploading

Half-time. Fantasy World Cup Punditry, all of them in the one studio. Ready?
Hansen: “Once England got the goal the confidence levels surged, they were excellent.”
Eamon Dunphy: “They just didn’t grow in confidence at all after the goal.”
Lineker: “The goal really settled them, didn’t it? They pushed on from there.”
Ronnie Whelan: “You’d think they’d have kicked on from when they scored, but they actually got worse.”
Roy: “England’s crossing has been absolutely outstanding.”
Giles: “Some of the crossing was just awful.”
Shearer: “Rooney looks more confident, he’s getting around the pitch a lot better.”
Dunphy: “It’s shocking to see Rooney so subdued, he’s been reduced to a shivering wreck.”
Shearer: “They look much more comfortable on the ball, they’re passing it with a purpose, with pace, they’re closing down – a much better performance, it’s encouraging.”
Giles: “They’re much better than they have been, but they couldn’t have been worse.”
No arguments, then. Second half. England held on. Full-time. Ready?
Lee Dixon: “A great performance.”
Dunphy: “Shocking . . . absolutely incredibly bad . . . pretty awful stuff.”
Hansen: “The commitment was there, the spirit was there, the enterprise was there, the creativity was there, they passed it better – they could have scored five or six quite easily. Capello will obviously be delighted with the performance.”
Giles: “If that’s the shackles off what’ll they be like when the shackles are back on?”
’Arry Redknapp: “We played with pace, we got after them, we pressed them, there wasn’t a weakness in the team.”
Dunphy: “They were astonishingly poor.”
Lineker: “He looked more like the Rooney we know.”
Ronnie: “Rooney is a major worry, his form, his body language, his demeanour, everything.”
Dixon: “Gerrard was outstanding.”
Dunphy: “I can’t believe how bad Gerrard was today.”
’Arry: “Across midfield we were top drawer.”
Giles: “Barry got worse as the game went on, Milner, Gerrard and Lampard the same.”
’Arry: “Bring it on! Whoever we play we’ll be difficult to beat.”
Ronnie: “If they don’t improve they’ll go straight out, it was a very, very inept performance.”
The consensus ended, though, when Capello appeared on our screens for a chat with Gabby Logan.
The BBC was euphoric about Fabio’s euphoria, but Giles reckoned he was just spoofin’. “It wasn’t exactly the most probing interview,” said Darragh Moloney. “Well she seems a very attractive girl – maybe that’s why she’s doing the interview, she was doing a good bit of creeping there,” said Gilesie. Next time he meets his former Leeds team-mate Terry Yorath – that’d be Gabby’s Da – he should bring a gumshield.

I don't like the superficial 'analysis' of MOTD but I'm not sure I find RTE's critiques any more persuasive or profound.
I also don't find them at all entertaining - a bunch of failed managers and past-it players slagging everyone off is just Grumpy Old Men without the self-awareness..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

The top ten lovers of World Cup 2010
10. Gabriel Egan has sweet dreams about Jesus Navas:
“Ziegler will be seeing him in his sleep tonight. He won’t care though because it won’t be a nightmare.”
9. Was Steve Wilson talking about Franck’s training with the underage squad?
“It’s been a bit of an in-out season for Ribery.”
8. We now know why Ossie Ardiles famously “stroked the ball like it was part of his anatomy”:
“The ball was my lover. I went to bed with the ball. Absolutely. It was everything.”
7. Matt Smith finds Capello’s methods hard to handle:
“Rob Green’s gloves have given way to Ledley King’s groin.”
6. Craig Burley applauds frisky Swiss goalkeeper Diego Benaglio:
“He stands big and gets a leg on.”
5. Martin Tyler fears Sergio’s bark might be nothing on his bite:
“I caution you to be aware whenever Busquets goes down.”
4. Mick McCarthy almost has someone’s eye out:
“If you open your legs it can flick anywhere.”
3. Craig Burley tries a spot of ball-juggling:
“When Diaby opens his legs, he can be a handful.”
2. Didi Hamann liked the way the Greeks got stuck in:
“They passed the ball, they penetrated the ball.”
1. The tantric sessions are beginning to pay off for Chris Coleman:
“Cometh the man, cometh the hour, as they say.”
