which one ?

I wish we had Dunphy on our TV - rather thanthe comfortable golf-four the BBC put up. I would like to listen to that panel.

Dunphy also wrote one of the finest Football books.

Great thread!

MYOB, YOU are welcome to Northern Ireland for exactly the reasons you state. We don't want those bowler-hatted, drum-bashing, sash-wearing, orange-brained, bigoted twats. All the while there was an active IRA military campaign targetting civilians we had to keep it, but now there's no reason. Tell your gov't they can pick up the keys tomorrow.

I like the fact that once again he has turned a thread about football it a thread about how great he thinks Ireland is and what a bunch of bigots some of the English are. It is a skill.

Personally I blame McGhee

McGhee Out!

All of them.

If they don't want to hear sycophantic coverage from England, they should get some of their own journalists covering World Cups.

The cocks.

 

[NMH]

Nor here, and I'm neither Oceanic nor Twatford; but if you apply the criterea that a lot on here seem to think Ireland should apply to our player choices, it comes damn close to it. And yet they don't apply their same bigotry to their own team...

Oh? And while you mention Ireland, how was it they managed to get the best defender ever to walk on grass, playing for them when he was as English as black pud?

Mark Lawrenson. Have you heard of him?

Black pudding is a Cork delicacy too

Lawro has Irish parents or grandparents, I dunno which; never even attempted to play for England, got his first senior cap at 19 for Ireland.

And we have our own journos covering it, including a full commentary team, post match interviewers and the punditry panel. However, that interview was sycophantic shit, and they were slagging it off as such, not using it as part of their coverage; although had they left Apres Match rather than the alcoholic prune to slag it off it would have been to greater effect.

His father in law encouraged him to play for Ireland at an early age. I think in hindsight it was a hasty decision as he would have played regularly for England and in tournaments.

His mother comes from Waterford (I think). I met him when he was playing for Albion in the old old 1st division and asked him why he chose Ireland over England. He said he was approached whilst he was playing for Preston in the old old 3rd division and the conversastion went something like this (I'm paraphrasing):

"Hi Mark, do you want to play for Ireland?"
"But I'm English"
"Yeah, but we've done some research and we've found out that your mum comes from Waterford, that entitles you to play for Ireland"
"But I want to play for England, plus I don't consider myself Irish, I always wondered why she talked a bit funny."
"Yeah, but look how many players England have to choose from. And, not being funny, you're playing in the 3rd division. The best you can hope for is a few caps and you'll always be dropped to make way for Liverpool or Man U players. We can virtually gaurantee you'll be an immovable fixture in our team, not just a bit player"
"Oh, ok then."

He then added, and he didn't say it arrogantly although it will come over like that here: "If I'd realised I was going to become as good as people say I am I would have waited."

Well I don't think any English channel would show a foreign post-match interview (with subtitles) then slag it off.

Even ITV have more class than that.

Just the celts having a pop at the English as usual.

 

[Cian]

...with good reason, because you could almost see Crook's rimming Sven. Had something similar happened with another of the European teams in that was recordered in English, or with the US/Australia, it would have been treated similarly.

And no, ITV don't have more class than that, ITV are effectively televisions Jordan, men&motors being its terrible boob job. Have you ever seen ITV2?

Oh, and considering you could barely get through a night on British TV in the 80s without a "Paddy" joke, I think its payback time.

I could be wrong but wasn't his father-in-law Johnny Giles? I think he was the one who when he realised that Lawro's mum was Irish put his FAI mates onto him.

I thought his father in law was the chairman of Preston.

Anyway, back to those darkies you were talking about MYOB...

I'm (obviously?) talking about their sports coverage.

Problem, I guess, is that the Irish didn't qualify so the wee men busy themselves slagging off the English. La de da.

Oh, and your Eurovision entry was shit.

National morale must be VERY low in Eire right now.

I don't think that sounds arrogant - in fact I don't like Lawro very much but that comment raises him in my esteem.

 

[C1 BHA]

Sorry but I can't be arsed to wade through all 6 pages of this, however, at the risk of repeating what loads of others have already pointed out......

Who gives a toss?

We're in the quarter finals, it doesn't matter HOW.......bloody hell, tell me we're not gonna cancel the celebrations after we win the final just because we didn't win every game 4-0. What a load of total arse

Wonderful sense of rhythm and natural grace, apparently.
