Liverpool fans demand Irish duo quit TV show

[McDermotX]

Glad they've done the right thing but if you ask me it's a pretty sad state of affairs that it took a load of pressure from supporters to get them to withdraw.

Spot on. They've withdrawn because of the reaction, not because it was the right thing to do.

Well done. Hats off to the pair of them

they only did it after immense pressure mate....nothing good there...

[RichC]

disappointed in the pair of them, for it to take pressure from fans for them to pull out is unreal.

Both were there that day and Whelan was the captain are they really so nieve to not realise this was totally wrong - idiots!

No kudos required they are both still classless ******s.
They didnt withdraw,RTE withdrew them from it as Houghton clearly states in the report.

I lost all respect for Whelan a long time ago with his constant sniping about Rafa and the players.He was even asked to help get the last owners out but preffered to moan about Rafa.

From the report:-

Ray Houghton has told TheJournal that he didn’t know anything about the decision by RTÉ and added: “It’s down to them I’m not going to say anymore.”

Houghton and Whelan both sounded pretty annoyed when I rang them. Possibly because it was me or maybe because of the events of the day #LFC

It seems this way, however I hope that we are wrong.

Yep, looks like RTE made the decision for them.
