RTE- Coverage of the Euros- Best bits

Decotron · 1st July 2008, 11:55

Some funny shit in here, also revealed why Dunphy doesnt like Ronnie...........

Souness - "Croatia were a little bit tippy tappy for me".

Gilesy on Ronaldo - "Marilyn Monroe was the greatest star in the world but she was never known as a great actor. Ronaldo is like that."

Bill - ""Those two defenders are known as the twin towers. And they were destroyed there"

Bill - "what do you think of Group B gentlemen?" (the group with Germany, Austria, Poland and Croatia)
Souness - "Looks a bit like World War II, Bill".

Dunphy - "Real Madrid are offering ronaldo €250,000 a week after tax, he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"

Dunphy again - "Sergio Ramos is a headbanger, he's like Paul McShane on steroids".

Jimmy Magee - "and the ball is passed wide to Ricardo Ronaldo"... Mark Kinsella too polite to correct him, then a min later Jimmy realises...'I've just promoted the Portuguese goalkeeper to the wing'.

Jimmy Magee again: "This must be the most attacks by an Italian team in an international match in the first 16 minutes than anyone can remember"

Mark Kinsella after 15 minutes of the match between Austria & Germany..............

"I see what the Austrians are tryin to do here, they are tryin to stop the Germans playing football"

Mark Kinsella after lahm had been fouled (which resulted in ballacks stunning freekick)..........."he really needed to make that tackle........doesnt matter bout the free kick lahm was on a good run".............ballack riffles one home.........."ya see needless freekicks cost ya

Jimmy again: "klasnic has scored for poland, they lead one nil" then it shows the replay and he realise it was a goal against poland and he says " of course that was Klasnic of croatia who got the goal"

Bill: - "Just one interesting point. Italy have now qualified for the quarter final with 4 points ,when last time they failed to qualify with 5 points....whatever that means........i actually don't know" ..... que laughter from Gilesy and Brady

first Swittzerland game:

Bill:"It's said the Barnetta is their best player, what do we know about him?"
Eamo:"Well he's Swiss so he mother was a banker and his father was a clock maker"

With some classic back and forth from the panel

Souness - "I agree with Liam......"
Dunphy - "Its Eamon"
Souness - "Sorry, whats your name....haha....good job Liams not here"

Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven't played a proper team yet"
Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. what do you mean a proper team?"
Dunphy - "Sweden"

Brady: "The games at five o'clock have been inferior."
Billo: "For what reason?"
Brady: "Well, I think it is cooler at night, Bill."
Billo: "Hold on, we're only talking 23 degrees. That's what it was like in Dublin today."
Brady: "Still hot. Still hot. I was playing golf today. I found it hot."
Billo: "Did you shoot a good score Liam?"
Brady: "No, not really."
Billo: "And were you as indolent as they (Romania and France) were?"
Gilesy: "You try playing golf at night Bill."

And best of the tournament

Souness unimpressed with Thierry Henry's bravery for the Italian second goal:

"He's got his hands down protecting his downstairs area and sticks his foot out like a nancy"

Eamo: "If you don't mind me saying Graeme, the shot was a bit low to have affected his downstairs area."

Cue Gilesy mumbling: "You don't know with these lads, Eamon."

Some good ones

Lot 49 · 1st July 2008, 12:08

I will never get tired of watching the RTE coverage of our 7-1 hammering of Roma.

In fact I'm going to watch it again now.

That twin towers line is genius though, which players was he talking about?

Intolerable? The banter on the RTE coverage puts it leagues ahead of the Beeb and ITV.

Somebody must've complained for it to warrant an apology. Another victory for the pc brigade. I mean it was just a joke no real harm done especially when there were only a few thousand people watching.

you spelt "Gimp" wrong there Don

Don16 · 1st July 2008, 21:40

Ah eyepops, god almighty man how can't you like him? He's just a normal man sitting there asking the casual fans questions and in a hilarious manner. I've met him a few times and hes a true gent.

Eyepopper · 1st July 2008, 21:43

I'd love to be paid that much to be that bad at a job!

He seems to be the only one with a bit of a clue. Except for Souness I guess who at least knows his stuff and does his best not to let bias be an issue.

It's not even that, but he looks at it from a non-die hard fan kind of way which is refreshing.

Anyone on here who hasn't seen the Apres Match clips on youtube of the RTE lads, go watch them now
