A 'rinkydink" manager was my favourite
His reading of the telegraph before the 2006 World Cup was iconic.
Still amazing he kept the job after the rod liddle comment.
No way would that happen now.

Compilation Djibril Cisse trying to cross a ball for Liverpool and hitting the first man every time. ‘Bang’ and something to the effect of Cisse trying to kill the fullback with his shit delivery.

Jesus but that was amazing punditry. Often better than the match that preceded it

Eamon Dunphy turns 80.
To mark the occasion, he sat down with Garry Doyle of the Irish Daily Star to discuss his legendary punditry career.
Dunphy was forthright in expressing his regret over his relationship with John Delaney during his time running the FAI.
Dunphy said:
“I wasn’t trying to hide it. I declared myself to be the recipient of tickets from him and took a sympathetic view of him.
“That was part of his con. And he got me for a while.
“Definitely Delaney fooled me. I was foolish. And I got sucked into a relationship where I could ring him up and say, ‘could I have two tickets for a Manchester United match?’
“When the story broke about what he was doing, I was appalled. I did out myself. No one said ‘we have caught you!”
“I said, ‘this is wrong, I have got to out myself because if someone else was doing it, I would have been after them. Attending his 50th birthday party is a source of embarrassment. I did go. It was embarrassing, deeply embarrassing.”

In the end Dunphy enjoyed being a snout in the FAI trough as much as any of them.
Good to see he finally saw Delaney for what he was, even belatedly
He would have been the last man standing if he left it one more day.
“Where did you get these two guys from”

It wasn’t untrue though. Can you fire someone for speaking facts
Rod Liddle was on liveline the next day and had no problem with it. Eamo came on and licked his arse after Rod said Eamo was his hero going to the Den in the 70s
