Surely a strength!

Oh wait, you know that. Never mind.

RTÉ
Strengths
Hilarity
Scepticism
Chemistry
Duration
Indoctrination of Souness

You forgot that with all RTE live broadcasts there is just sheer unpredictability.

Someone might walk out in front of a camera, VT won't be ready to roll when they want, cutting to ads rarely happens on time, camera will pan widely from person to person and Dunphy/Souness struggling not to curse when they get agitated !!!

The studio is deadly craic apart from when Ronnie Whelan or Peter Collins are there, it's the commentating Im talking about. Bunch of fucking dullards

Remember when Giles used to do the actual match commentary with Hamilton?

I'm fairly certain i'm not imagining that.

When did Jim Beglin leave RTE?

He did. You're not imagining it. Begs left a couple of years back. Razor got promoted to chief co-bore.

Stilian Petrov: Celtic Petrov
Martin Petrov: Other Petrov

I'll never forget how negative beggerz was during our defeat to Spain in 2002. It screwed with my morale. Good riddance.

Darragh Maloney does a decent job but he deserves a better wingman that Houghton.

Remember when Packie Bonner was hosting on TV3? Now that was truly heinous.

They actually called Toni 'Rossi' as in Paolo Rossi, the man who led Italy to WC82 glory.

brady called toni - rossi, giles said thats toni not di rossi, then giles called grosso di rossi honest to fuck it was hilarious. the clip must be somewhere.

Aul lads don't do foreign names well at all. They're representative of their generation. Different times. Simpler times.

It was like a surreal football sketch show hosted by a giant leprechaun

 

[Mitchum]

Yeah Houghton knows his shit. He's a pro. There's always the sense that he wants to down the mic and headphones, tog out for the team and play in everyone's position and do an infinitely better job than them. Good for him.

He's a moany ol' scrote.

Allegedly the same in the Anfield dressing room.

Me too, I put 40 euro in my paddy power account on the first day and just withdrew 220 yesterday with 20 still left.

I'll put that on the Germans to beat Croatia then if that wins put the winnings on Poland if not then I'll enjoy my 220 euro

Bring back Joe Kinnear.

Brady: “The games at five o’clock have been inferior.”
Billo: “For what reason?”
Brady: “Will, I think it is cooler at night, Bill.”
Billo: “Hold on, we’re only talking 23 degrees. That’s what it was like in Dublin today.”
Brady: “Still hot. Still hot. Still hot. I was playing golf today. I found it hot.”
Billo: “Did you shoot a good score Liam?”
Brady: “No, not really.”
Billo: “And were you as indolent as they (Romania and France) were?”
Gilesy: “Try playing golf at night Bill.”

That was a good exchange alright.
