he was dood. bill was there to bust out the lols when he knew something was funny. you need someone to just laugh at funny things on the panel. that breaks all the ice.
The halcyon days of soccer punditry in Ireland. We had it so good, no filters, agree or disagree with them but always interesting. Brady's defense of Wenger was brilliant and spot on.
God rest Bill, he played the ordinary man, so well, and he was way smarter than that. But that's why everybody loved him, he just asked the questions that everyone wanted him to ask.
Imagine if we had football panel of Eamon Dunphy, Graeme Souness & Roy Keane. That would be dream for football fans to watch them calling out what it is.
God love him. He was my hero from when he came down to us after York all through the years of disputes, ducked tackles, great passes his team-mates couldn't read, abuse from other supporters who valued journeymen like Harry Cripps way above him, his period of exile when he worked as a barman and the eventual departure for Clowntown. And Only a Game is still the best book about football. Period. Oh and I'll never forget the look of injured innocence on his face just after he kidney punched that git Trevor Hockey just in front of us. That and, less happily, the notorious team photo with the wardrobe malfunction. He has always been a dodgy wee bugger and long may it continue.
Gary Neville said that Alex regretted that he hadn't signed Gerrard because he is Scholes and Keane rolled into one. Manure Utd fans grossly overrated Scholes. If he had played for Liverpool during the Gerratd period he would've been anonymous.
I always remember before the 2002 world cup RTE done a preview of the tournament on the evening before it started and Eamon Dunphy in it said it was a shame that two of the greatest nations in world football were out of contention in the upcoming world cup. Brazil- the great teams of the past were gone the Brazil team now scraped through qualifying and were useless, Ronaldo was finished. Germany were in the same boat, forget about them no leaders a bunch of journeymen. The world cup final that year was Brazil vs Germany with Ronaldo top scorer including two in the final!!
Don't always agree with Dunphy by any means, but some of his one-liners are undeniable gold. "If that was a concert, you'd boo." "He's got more form than the train robbers." One of the rare pundits who dares to call it how it is with Steven Gerrard as well.
Great panel, Giles, Chippy and Dunphy makes it, he says what others only think but would not dare say. Even back then Dunphy was right about the FAI, taking the Irish soccers fans to the cleaners.
At Murdoch Towers, their job is to sell the game. It's the same at BT.. At the BBC, they're not much better. The one pundit who does shoot his mouth off over here is Robbie Savage, who is condemned as a know nothing idiot, but he's never afraid to admit when he's wrong. Chris Waddle also shoots from the hip, but he's only on for the biggest games. I envy the Irish. Dunphy, Giles and Brady often look like they're going to start a fight, and they don't spare poor Bill O'Herlihy if they don't like what he's said. It's great TV.
Re the Dutch team statement, In the excellent documentary called an impossible job re Graham Taylor there is a brief dining scene that featured black players and white players on seperate tables, it always struck me. I ended up putting that to natural gravitas. But it was still surprising.
Eamonn is all over the place for me. When he goes on his rants where he says messi is finished, or that higuain is an expensive donkey, it's laughable. But when he talks about the Italian team, or Juventus, or when he criticises the EPL, I love it and it makes perfect sense.
18:35: "They're the champions of England, and they did nothing right to get there". The most correct thing I've ever heard Dunphy say. Mancini still is a total spoofer really and bad news for Inter now. . .
I don't think for one moment that he was ever interested in being controversial for ratings. Agree or disagree with him, this is be what punditry and journalism should be. Challenging and thought provoking and thinking outside the box. A pure genius.
Knowing what we know now about the FAI, it is quite possible they would have appointed Terry Venables. But Dunphy's take down was so captivating at the time that they may have reconsidered. I remember watching it at the time.
Tells it how he thinks it is as he's often ranting about nonsense but still entertaining. I will say, one of his long running rants I have always agreed with...hes been calling it out for at least 20 years at this point. The culture of Irish football. Hard work and commitment is all good but you need to remember about playing a bit to. We dont need to play like barca but there needs to be a change at grass roots in how kids are taught. Relax, hold onto the ball and not been told to pass it the second someone is 5 yards away like its a game of hot potato. It starts here and that breeds a lack of composure under pressure right the way to the top level. Its why countries ranked 50-100 places below us knock the ball around us.
God be with the days. The panel was often the main event and the match an afterthought.
A national treasure. Those guys will be missed big time. 2/3generations of Irish football fans have had it good with these lads. Golden generation
how can you not like him? he's just gold
Don't care either way, just curious, but is Dunphy half cut in a lot of these clips?
@@TommyCeltic definitely lol
He slags English off but was happy to live there absolute prick
@@TommyCeltic abso fuckin lutely
bill was a massive part
he was dood. bill was there to bust out the lols when he knew something was funny. you need someone to just laugh at funny things on the panel. that breaks all the ice.
His was also to piss them off at the right time too. Provoking them with his seemingly innocent questions
conor lumsden lumsden he was a master conductor to be fair to him , He’s hugely missed the panels gone too serious with out him
Ahhhh Bill
Bill was the orchestrator. RIP Legend
''You've jumped over the Fence baby ! '' Classic Dunphy
You're lucky to have this guy - in England we have to put up with Jermaine Jenas - zzzzzzz.
Poor you he's retired now 😢
Get eamo babbiii back, the rest are a fucking joke especially darragh
It's improved a bit last few years in England on Sky at least. BBC will always be a joke.
He was a 💎
The Terry venebales rant was priceless & correct Goodman eamon lad
the lads in the joy want back in the cells 😁 priceless
rouryglen my favourite too..👍
I always come back to this 2 or 3 times a year. Its still as funny every time. You jumped over the fence baby!!!
The halcyon days of soccer punditry in Ireland. We had it so good, no filters, agree or disagree with them but always interesting.
Brady's defense of Wenger was brilliant and spot on.
where did you manage? I managed to stay alive for 63 and a half years baby hahahahaha
daveeol1987 😂😂😂😂😂 genius
Glenn's ZenDen watching this again genio genio genio
First captain, second captain, whatever
God rest Bill, he played the ordinary man, so well, and he was way smarter than that. But that's why everybody loved him, he just asked the questions that everyone wanted him to ask.
Bill fixing pocket in his suit jacket at 3:56 , priceless 😂😂😂
Rest in peace Bill
I could listen to him all day.The best analyst on any TV show. Very insightful and intelligent
The chemistry between these 4 is great. Particularly Bill and Eamon.
Eamon a one off, never predictable but always funny when he delivered. More often than not the panel were more entertaining than the match itself.
Love when Dunphy says baby
I love Eamonn Dunphy. He's a breath of fresh air and isn't afraid to say what he thinks.
Imagine if we had football panel of Eamon Dunphy, Graeme Souness & Roy Keane. That would be dream for football fans to watch them calling out what it is.
Bill, Liam, John, Eamon. Were unreal there missed hugely
RIP Bill
I always loved that Dunphy called things as he saw them, he didn't give a flying fu(k what anybody thought.
Great watchin this, Love Eamon, his Pocast is fantastic
God love him. He was my hero from when he came down to us after York all through the years of disputes, ducked tackles, great passes his team-mates couldn't read, abuse from other supporters who valued journeymen like Harry Cripps way above him, his period of exile when he worked as a barman and the eventual departure for Clowntown.

What a singer, good on ya Dumphers.
Saw Denis Irwin at a Fall gig once nice dancing Denis!!
Hahaha Goodnight Bianca. I love this man!!!
Bill, John, Liam and Eamon the panel of my childhood. Will never be topped.
Eamonn's analysis is brilliant .... he got it right at least 95% of the time .... by far the best pundit around.
“Ronaldo isn’t a great player”
@@sm7baller435 He did say he got it right 95% of the time so..
"Gerrard he's a nothing player" haha love Dunphy
FOUND OUT TONIGHT
Ah I think Gerrard was overrated. I take Alex Ferguson view, a very good player, but not a top player.
@@robertpirsig5011🤡
@@robertpirsig5011that's why he tried to sign him wasn't it ?

hahahaha Bianca!
Bill was brilliant at what he did rest in peace Bill
And Nat King Cole to finish?? Feckin' best 28 mins I've spent with a bottle of wine in ages!
(Don't tell the wife!)
Hero!

Call it how it is 🤦
I know next to nothing about football but I love this man and the adventures of Trapper Tony.
"he's a german human being."
brilliant.
"This fellow Ronaldo is a cod"....pmsl 😆😆
That was gold. Dunphy got it spectacularly wrong sometimes, but have to say I think he nailed it most of the time.
Brilliant compilation - god we so miss the wonderful days of Giles and Dunphy and the peerless Billo.
You know this guy is outspoken when Graeme Souness sits next to him subdued
Brilliant, just brilliant. What a legend
I love herlo "Ah Eamonn you can't say that"
The RTE lot actually have a laugh and give honest opinions rather than cliche riddled trite.
English coverage is so bland by comparison.
Zanzibar Breeze come on,Jermaine Jeenas is gold,a great analyst... for when youre drifting off to sleep.
I can Listen to that man all day Eamon Dunphy what a hero
Great panel, Giles, Chippy and Dunphy makes it, he says what others only think but would not dare say. Even back then Dunphy was right about the FAI, taking the Irish soccers fans to the cleaners.
26:54....are briiiiight........Liams reaction.
You could cut the air with a spoon when he's going off about Noel King
@Leeroy Smith That it's really tense. The other lads seem uncomfortable with his blatant honesty.
I love his Ronaldo rant! He’s so spot on about it I absolutely love it 😂😂
I've managed to stay alive for 63 and 1/2 years baaaby !! Lol
Eamonn Dunphy: A pleasure to listen to an intelligent man talking sense.
Pure comedy gold. He would be great on sky sports

joeyxl3456 I was very sorry to lean that Bill O'Herlihy passed away last year.
hes to real for sky sports roy keane is to
cbak12sg tbh that’s just most ordinary Irish people in general we say it as we see it
What’s fantastic man,oozing with charisma and intelligence.Best pundit ever.Amen.
From 09:43 Brilliant. "It going to be a long 45 minutes... the lads in Joy have asked to put back in their cells..." :)
Lol he wanted Gibson in the team and criticising trap for not picking him and then he called him brain dead after the euros 😂😂😂
nice video , dunphy is unique, good singer
Hate him or love him he’s a national Treasure!
Good on ye baby.
The legend, the man
He is of the old brigade, tells it like it is or at least as he thinks it is, not afraid to upset a sponsor.....
Irish republic real native man Eamon duphy I'm your fan
Eamon is definitely entertaining. He comes out with some garbage but he would be great crack to go for a pint with.
Until he starts signing
Dunphy is a Legend.
Re the Dutch team statement, In the excellent documentary called an impossible job re Graham Taylor there is a brief dining scene that featured black players and white players on seperate tables, it always struck me. I ended up putting that to natural gravitas. But it was still surprising.
Legend baby
Dunphy was the greatest player in the world, a top pharmacist quantum physicist new reader and Baker thanks Eamon
bravo Eamon bravo legend
Goodnight bianca is one of his most underrated moments 😂😂
Eamonn is all over the place for me. When he goes on his rants where he says messi is finished, or that higuain is an expensive donkey, it's laughable. But when he talks about the Italian team, or Juventus, or when he criticises the EPL, I love it and it makes perfect sense.
That's what the piss does to you
all along souness is thinking its pogbas fault
You'll be missed Eamo
Good man Eamon Dalton. Class video.
Bill was brilliant at watched did rest in peace bill
Went to town on Tel 😂
18:35: "They're the champions of England, and they did nothing right to get there". The most correct thing I've ever heard Dunphy say. Mancini still is a total spoofer really and bad news for Inter now. . .
Whats your opinion now ?
That team ain't going nowhere.... except into the knock out stages of the Champions League 😂
Emmett Byrne Made it to the champions league final that year too 🤣🤣
If only this video was made a year later:
"The pitch was a fucking bog, he was fucking shitting it!" 😂
We're in showbiz, baby :)
LEGEND
Legend is right Dobbers...Dumbfounded them all...Amen to that
What a sad say it will be when Eamon leaves rte. We will be left with nothing a spineless bunch no different than the BBC and sky
Eamon is a very good man.
Dunphy: "I know all about bottle" - Yes you do Eamonn. Yes you do.
"I managed to stay alive for 63 and a half years baby"
"Denilson better than Flamini"
Dunphy was dead right to tell him he hadnt a clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Assassinated Venables, not a hope of getting the job after that. He wouldn't have got a job in Macdonalds after it.
Little Paddy Land. 😂😂
lmao 18:44 never saw Liam Brady laugh like that hahaha cool
Love how he eviscerated Noel King
what a hero
Ye know he means business when the glasses go on
TV Gold here
7:08 is the best bit
“He left his wife for a young one” I would have added “I hear she’s smoking, fair play”
I don't think for one moment that he was ever interested in being controversial for ratings. Agree or disagree with him, this is be what punditry and journalism should be. Challenging and thought provoking and thinking outside the box.

Our patron saint Eamonn.
😂😂 hes comedy gold 😂😂😂
Hilarious. Gas the way he knows the exact time Venables was sacked 🤣 😂
10:00 Dandelion soup for dinner 😂😂
Showbiz baby
