This was one of the greatest put downs of all time.
I love the little apology to Giles at the end

The two lads were up in arms when he delivered it. He drove me mad but he was just a stone cold broadcasting legend. ‘dont it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.’
“I think this should a referendum issue, it should be put to the people”
Every time this thread is bumped I’m expecting to hear that he croaked.
The more I look back on Dunphy now I see a poisonous little fucker with absolutely no substance.
I think he let his emotions get the better of him a lot.
Its fair to say that a large part of the cocaine problem in Ireland is down to his normalising of it.
He was very entertaining. But he needed Bill. Bill was such a brilliant broadcaster - he had a great sense of timing.
He doesn’t have any remorse for some of his comments.
All he was interested in was theatrics and his ego ultimately.
Bill was a massive cunt by all accounts.
But that’s what we the viewer wanted also…
Arent we all
I think Roy Keane might be the current day version. Entertainment over depth.
Heard that a few times over the years
Dunphy had a bit more substance to him than Keane.
If you are in the public eye there’ll always be one lad who met you on a bad day.
Keane’s metamorphosis into a Panto Dame is unfortunate.
Every day was a bad day with Bill.
