Eamo knows his audience; the normal Joe Soap wants to hear his opinion on the state of the nation, not tabloid fodder

I was a litle bit disappointed that he didnât launch into a monologue on the decline of Italian football and Italian society, didnât have a go at Cristiano Ronaldo, and that he only mentioned the Irish womenâs team and Kellie Harrington as opposed to âthe Kellie Harringtons, the Shane Lowrys, the Rachel Blackmores, the David Cliffordsâ, but you canât have everything.

He always used to mention Henry Shefflin but Henry had been demoted from Eamoâs list of Irish sporting excellence.
Henry demoted DJ. Joe Canning must surely have made it into his awesome foursome at some stage.

Love the man on tv but Ive never, ever heard his podcast. Heâs a TV animal, a knock out artist now. Simplistic and then you get fed a killer line. Just watching Rte on a friday now, Bronx Tale on tomorrow night, its like its 20 years ago.

Pity he didnât give an auld spiel regarding âOooh ah up the Raâ . TFK might have got the weekend out of it

There has to be an Eamon Dunphy Late Late tribute show at some stage. There simply has to be. I think it should be next week, not least because he might not be available for many more.

It would be iconic in a Nighthawks type setting with guest appearances from Shane Ross and Guggi discussing some time that Eamo refused to pay for a bottle of Dom Perignon in Lillies; special hologram contribution from Shay Healy

What was the gist? Qatar/FIFA bad etc. Anything else?
Eamo always named checked four Irish sportspeople. Always four, no more, no less. It was about the cadence, the rhythm, the symmetry.
Eamoâs awesome foursome generally followed a formula. There would always be somebody from horse racing and GAA, usually a golfer, and one miscellaneous.

Im wonderinv did I ever hear him finish with a âBrian OâDriscollâ for emphasis?
Kolo and Yaya Toure whose arses he used ridicule are both up for the Wigan job Ive just seen, time moves quick.
Jerry Kiernan another wonderful, fluid pundit. God rest him. Youd get the sense these lads would make a gillion dollars today but I donât know would that kind of brilliance extend over a podcast.
Van Barneveld has a new fiancee and a hair transplant, which he is shaving off?
Kevin Sinfield is some man

Like John Oxx, the absolute best but shit has moved on. Ya actually now. have to train two year olds
This is the world Roy Curtis is consciously trying to recreate a version of.
1989, Con Houlihan holding court in Mulliganâs on a Monday morning, Irish Press journalists falling around half pissed in the White Horse on a Tuesday afternoon, a clatter of political journalists led by Vincent Browne telling stories about Charles Haughey on a Thursday evening in Doheny and Nesbitts, Eamon Dunphy going large in a Leeson Street wine bar on a Saturday night, Roddy Doyle laughing at the Ayatollah Khomeiniâs death in Tonerâs on a sunny Sunday afternoon after Ireland had beaten Hungary 2-0.
When Dublin was Dublin and men were men and women were women and the drinking and the smoking and the words and the everything else was hard.

He definitely started with âthe Brian OâDriscollsâ.

Clough didnât give a fuck about Notts ForestâŚor Derby for that matter. If he did, he wouldnât have managed both.
Ye can romantisise about him all you want but all Clough cared about was the Clough family and where his next drink was coming from.
