And Clare nodding away like she understands what’s going and not a fucking notion.

I was very impressed that she knew who Patrick Bamford is.
He’s very well educated
She wouldn’t know who Lionel Messi was
She was speaking about him on the show just last year. She mentioned how he would never match up to Diego. I was very impressed.
i know we can rehash any of these but the intro to this and the following speech is wonderful- an absolute character assasination… “a holllow man”
" terry Venebles was sacked by England last Thursday morning at half past eight…"

Fantastic TV. When Eamon puts the glasses on to read a pre-prepared statement it’s going to be box office.
I was making a nice bit of money on Betfair laying all the short priced favourites for the job - Venables, o’leary, Giles!, Philippe Troussier. When Trap went short odds I thought there was no way he’d take the job so gave up most of my winnings.

“His CV is riddled with failure…and worse than failure” Eamon is a gas man

Bill with the flattering statement written by Dunphy in his back pocket
“must have been written after a libel case, Bill”
I’ve done my homework for the last ten days

I used to love the way he’d mix up his lists of greats every so often.
The Mick Kinane’s, the Brian Cody’s, the Henry Shefflin’s, the Padraig Harrington’s…

He was some singer in his pomp I’d say.
Didn’t he say to Tom Jones ‘shut the fuck up, I’m singing’ in Lillies once upon a time?

Gilesy was a big “Mack the Knife” man on a social occasion after a few rum and cokes.
They were of their time . We now have men like Steven Kelly , Duffer and Richie Sadlier who are clued in to modern game
Dunphy set Irish football back years that night. Venables would have been a great choice but they fell out in the players union in England years before. Eamon didnt forget.

Venables would have taken the money and laughed up his sleeve at Eire.
