As an Englishman, I wish we had someone like him on football panels. The man is clearly great value. We have to put up with cheerleaders always telling us how wonderful the Premiership is, without considering why the national team is so bad.
Best rant iv ever seen. He went out that night and did something that no other tv personality would ever have the balls to do. That panel are priceless, way more down to earth than their snobby rugby counterparts. long may he be on tv
I admire dunphy we need a lot more like him he is definitely not afraid to speak his mind he has absolutely no inhabitions whatsoever I believe he is still a lovely man and a really good person
Terry Venables responded by saying "How can a self confessed cocaine user and convicted drink driver lecture me on character"? Ouch.....the truth is always bitter Eamon.
The Australia-Iran qualifier at the MCG in 1997 still grinds my gears. Venables chose to start Steve Horvat - who was without a club at the time and hadn't kicked a football in anger in some time after being released by Hajduk Split - alongside Socceroos Captain Alex Tobin instead of Tobin's long-time club and country partner Milan Ivanovic. As it happened Horvat and Tobin played with zero cohesion at the back and Iran scored two incredibly soft goals accompanied by non-existent marking.
Trapattoni may still be Ireland's downfall.Dunphy had no issue slagging off Arsène Wenger in front of liam brady but god forbid anyone said a single bad word about Roy Keane and poor ole Eamon has a meltdown..Dunphy also once said that Taoiseach Charles Haughey represented the "real people of Ireland".He heavily criticised probably the best manager Ireland ever had Jack Charlton during his reign as manager.He called Niall Quinn a creep,and accused Rod Liddle of cheating on his wife.
The panel was so good, often far better than whatever match was on. These kinds of debates would be unthinkable now, dispensed with discussions in favour of inoffensive sound bites and pointless stats.
when billo said "invidious position" I thought , woah bill is a smart man but then by the third time he said I was just like , aww he must have learned it off before the broadcast :((
dunphy is honest' he speaks his mind. and were all on here argueing bout him! lol! dont you see?? were all interested in what he has to say! so hes gud at his job! crap' or bullshit' he makes u listen' thats what hes paid to do! lol
Is has to be the best soccer coverage in the world. Where else woud you get pure comedy and drama. Hope we never go to the political correct world of sky and bbc
@MasterofSpiders To be fair to his time at Rovers, himself and Giles held an idealogy that he felt was ripped apart by some small minded clubs, with a win at all costs style of football. They wanted Rovers to play beautiful stuff, but felt other teams hindered them. Of course, you're entitled not to just roll over against bigger teams, but it's also not nice to see very short sighted attitudes, that exist not only in League of Ireland football, but many clubs abroad, as well.
Dunphy was assistant manager and Youth Director at Shamrock Rovers when John Giles was manager and couldn't take it. He'll never manage anyone because he's not able to.
Would have loved it if he'd said 'Wheeler dealer' with Harry Redknapp on a discussion panel (we know he gets royally triggered when fans and Press use that phrase in his direction)
@TheLillywhiteArmy well said, i never thought about tht..i remember watching this rant an agreeing..but just thinkn about it maybe this rant put the fear of god in the fa an made them deliver with trap
Venables good points: He got England to the semi final of the European Championships on home ground, beating Holland and Spain on the way. Won the title with Barcelona and got them to a European Cup final the following season. Won the FA Cup with Spurs against Nottingham Forest that was managed by Clough, one of the greats of the game. Players have spoken positively about their experience playing under him and clearly have respect. His bad points: Is a journeyman and mercenary. Didn’t last more than two years in most of his jobs. Failed to qualify for the 98 World Cup with Australia through one game. Courts controversy off the field with mismanagement of money. Financially crippled Portsmouth. Isn’t committed. Didn’t turn up for his first game at Leeds to do a gig for the BBC Holliday programme etc.
Terry Venables is one of the biggest crooks, but best PR men in football. His behavior at Portsmouth towards the Gregory family is nothing short of scandalous
I am wrong how?Everything I said in my comment happened.Just because Dunphy changed his tune in the last year or so that's supposed to make him more credible in my eyes?The man advocated the captain of Ireland who walked out on his country and attacked his manager(in the media)without settling things like a professional.So the country suffered.Anyway all that is the past.We'll see just how good Trapattoni is.Just for your information I do happen to live in Ireland so yes I have media access.

At least you have Keane now
Bill was a master of riling them up, an absolute master, just knew exactly how to light the match and let them go.
Absolute gold. RTE Panel will never be the same without Bill, John and Eamon.
Bill was the best at stirring the pot 😂😂
Goat
Haha yeah, brilliant
Best rant iv ever seen. He went out that night and did something that no other tv personality would ever have the balls to do. That panel are priceless, way more down to earth than their snobby rugby counterparts. long may he be on tv
"Little Paddy Land", hahaha, gifted!
"Why did HE do it?"
"Be too late then John... we're buggered." Where else would you hear such a legend.
RIP Bill. Miss you a lot.
roytheboy68 I miss Bill too
Bill's smile at 2:20 haha. Miss seeing him on RTE was a great shit stirrer and character
if eamon dunphy got a job on sky he'd be sacked a week later for being honest
Best days of my life were spent watching Eamon, John, Bill and the lads.
Grew up watching them on rte on champions league nights and ireland games. The best there ever was. Honorable mention to apres match aswel
4:55 "The savage loves his native heath" oh man fucking brilliant
Dunphy makes a very compelling argument here.
HAHA!!! I love the bit at 2:20 when it cuts to Bill and he's smirking away at the lads arguing.
QUALITY!!!!!!!
RIP El Tel whose passing has brought me back to this compelling punditry
This has aged well still watching in 2024
The way they talk on these panels is so refreshing
Miss them
Eamon Dunphy is a legend and always will be.......
love it!! proper passionate dabate on football, never get anything like this on sky sports
I really miss these discussions. Miss you Bill.
Long Haired Messi at the end there, proper champions league nights those were.
2.21...the look on Bill's face...he's lovin' it ! "We're buggered"...classic Dunphy!!!
This is fucking priceless.
Great stuff from Eamon that night.
I admire dunphy we need a lot more like him he is definitely not afraid to speak his mind he has absolutely no inhabitions whatsoever I believe he is still a lovely man and a really good person
2:20, brilliant cut away
What a panel! Wonderful analysis and entertainment when compared to the bores we have on football panels on RTE now.
very tenables good man john
Terry Venables responded by saying "How can a self confessed cocaine user and convicted drink driver lecture me on character"? Ouch.....the truth is always bitter Eamon.
Chris Lacey literally nothing too do with football tho is it?
Would love to see bill john and eamonn one last time on tv 😣

Dunphy after being calmed down: FECK! ARSE! SUGAR! BUNG!
''The savage loves his native shore'' hahahahahaha
A bit of Jimmy White about him..😂😂
dunphy is a legend----brilliant
Good oul Bill - the face face of impartiality 0:10 fixing his hanky...he loves it lol
Trapattoni may still be Ireland's downfall.Dunphy had no issue slagging off Arsène Wenger in front of liam brady but god forbid anyone said a single bad word about Roy Keane and poor ole Eamon has a meltdown..Dunphy also once said that Taoiseach Charles Haughey represented the "real people of Ireland".He heavily criticised probably the best manager Ireland ever had Jack Charlton during his reign as manager.He called Niall Quinn a creep,and accused Rod Liddle of cheating on his wife.
Rob little did cheat on his wife.
RIP El Tel and Bill. Glorious punditry entertainment on show here.
The panel was so good, often far better than whatever match was on. These kinds of debates would be unthinkable now, dispensed with discussions in favour of inoffensive sound bites and pointless stats.
RIP Bill 🙏 he is very badly missed
5.50.. John Giles... "not every night!" 😂
when billo said "invidious position" I thought , woah bill is a smart man but then by the third time he said I was just like , aww he must have learned it off before the broadcast :((
Should've got him. His personality to put players at ease mixed with Irelands honesty and hard work attitude; could've been a winning combo
dunphy is honest' he speaks his mind. and were all on here argueing bout him! lol! dont you see?? were all interested in what he has to say! so hes gud at his job! crap' or bullshit' he makes u listen' thats what hes paid to do! lol
Ah the good old days.
I haven't seen Souness say so little since he was on Sky Sports
Verry Tenables.
Hold On! Hold On! Hold On!.... Eamons catchphrase
rooney2cantona: can u upload the old rants when stauton was in charge or do you even have them anymore, I would like to watch them again.?
Haha! Bill laughing at 2.21.
Little paddy land 😂😂😂😂 Dunphy is a gas man! Poor old Bill too, what a loss!!
greame souness is actually a good guy, he knows what hes talking about
Thank doG we don't have to worry about El Tel anymore.
class
Dunphy was on fire here 😂😂😂
quality!
Is has to be the best soccer coverage in the world. Where else woud you get pure comedy and drama. Hope we never go to the political correct world of sky and bbc
A week? That’s being optimistic, he might just make it 10 minutes before he would be escorted by security from the building ;-D
@MasterofSpiders
To be fair to his time at Rovers, himself and Giles held an idealogy that he felt was ripped apart by some small minded clubs, with a win at all costs style of football. They wanted Rovers to play beautiful stuff, but felt other teams hindered them. Of course, you're entitled not to just roll over against bigger teams, but it's also not nice to see very short sighted attitudes, that exist not only in League of Ireland football, but many clubs abroad, as well.
I love Dunphy!
Dunphy was assistant manager and Youth Director at Shamrock Rovers when John Giles was manager and couldn't take it. He'll never manage anyone because he's not able to.
1:47 Hitler like fist gesture from Heir Dunphy!
Would have loved it if he'd said 'Wheeler dealer' with Harry Redknapp on a discussion panel (we know he gets royally triggered when fans and Press use that phrase in his direction)
@andymacceltic exactly, well said
Bill s. Grinning face true all this. Proves.= what i always belived. Hes a shit stirrer.. Lol. He starts them off
I almost wish Venables had gotten the job; the analysis would have been absolutely priceless!!
I'm really not here to agrue with anyone.I just see the hypocrisy that is Eamon Dunphy.But I do enjoy his honesty I suppose if nothing else.
@TheLillywhiteArmy well said, i never thought about tht..i remember watching this rant an agreeing..but just thinkn about it maybe this rant put the fear of god in the fa an made them deliver with trap
whats goin to happen when these lads retire??
Who's the punter?
pigriser me
Great Dunphy exposing that crook El Tel..
@cbak12sg amen! we love him
Bill's face @ 2:20. Fuckin gas!
"must have been after a libel case" how ironic...
6:03 sums up dunphy. The world's gone crazy and he's the only sane one left
5:32 Who's the punter?😂
When you look at the Venables records you can't really argue. For some reason I thought he had won an awful lot more.
Venables good points: He got England to the semi final of the European Championships on home ground, beating Holland and Spain on the way.
Won the title with Barcelona and got them to a European Cup final the following season.
Won the FA Cup with Spurs against Nottingham Forest that was managed by Clough, one of the greats of the game.
Players have spoken positively about their experience playing under him and clearly have respect.
His bad points: Is a journeyman and mercenary. Didn’t last more than two years in most of his jobs.
Failed to qualify for the 98 World Cup with Australia through one game.
Courts controversy off the field with mismanagement of money. Financially crippled Portsmouth.
Isn’t committed. Didn’t turn up for his first game at Leeds to do a gig for the BBC Holliday programme etc.
Berry Terribles
Eamon Dunphy recently called Roy Keane a "politician and a bullshitter".
Terry Venables is one of the biggest crooks, but best PR men in football. His behavior at Portsmouth towards the Gregory family is nothing short of scandalous
The smile on Bill 😂😂😂😂 he was just so good.
Yeah of course we're in worse shape, that's why we had to lend you billions eh?
Not in Ireland, where there are three popular kinds of football.
very Tennables! LOL
0:48 seconds Giles nearly said very terrible!!!!
okey doke ..
He was going for the job at the time, he was in an awkward position.
ahaha "little paddy-land"...
I dont know verry tenables😂
he should have Fairly Shitty, the worst drama on telly
It must be Venables accountant
Iv been wrecking my head for years. cant decide if i hate dunphy r like him. Just cant fucken make tat decision. Lol
I dont know Very Tenables! 😅
Dunphy is as high as a kite
Souness is like wtf
Damn good punditry. Damn good TV. The golden age
Alex McCleish got Birmingham and Aston Villa relegated.
Graeme Souness can't keep a straight face. :P
sounds like dunphy has something personal against venables
Eamon Dunphy is god, hahaha i'm cryin here, Padraig Pearse stubborness
I am wrong how?Everything I said in my comment happened.Just because Dunphy changed his tune in the last year or so that's supposed to make him more credible in my eyes?The man advocated the captain of Ireland who walked out on his country and attacked his manager(in the media)without settling things like a professional.So the country suffered.Anyway all that is the past.We'll see just how good Trapattoni is.Just for your information I do happen to live in Ireland so yes I have media access.
