I find Eamonn Dunphy interesting.
Sometimes I think he’s a funny bloke who will say things that nobody else will. Other times I think he’s an up-his-own arse cunt, a feckless, sycophant who will fight his corner despite all evidence to the contrary.
But I had to laugh when Terry Venables accused Dunphy of costing him the job as manager of the Republic of Ireland. He claims the FAI were scared of Dunphy and wondered how a drunk driver and self-confessed cocaine user had the balls to get away with it.
I wondered how somebody with the track record of Venables was even in the running. The man is a complete spoofer. Leaving aside the financial side of his managerial career (which would take more time to go through than Bertie Ahern’s) the sum total of his achievements are:
1 x 2nd division title with QPR 1983
1 x Spanish title with Barcelona 1985 (not the most difficult)
1 x FA Cup with Spurs (1991)
And that is it. For some reason getting England to the semi-finals of Euro96 rose his stock far higher than it should have. Since then he has been manager of Australia (sacked after failing to qualify for France 98 despite leading Iran 2-0 at half-time), Portsmouth (more dodgy financial stuff), Crystal Palace (more dodgy financial stuff), Middlesbrough (as coach to Bryan Robson, for fucks sake. The man who makes Joey Deacon sound like Peter Ustinov), Leeds (shit) and assistant to Steve McClaren at England.
So while it would be easy for Venables to blame Dunphy it would be more honest to suggest that he didn’t get the job because he was completely fucking shit and would probably, somehow, have bankrupted the FAI, and possibly the whole country, just by being involved with them.
Anyway, further discussion on the dichotomy of Dunphy can wait for another day. Is it time for a pint yet?
ITs always time for a pint.
You missed out..
Tel boy had so much in common with bertie.
bent bastards at the helm and all that.
Not sure if he would have to wait seventeen days for his shekels to come through in his offshore account though.
He’d have cashed them in his local…
Eamon Dunphy and Terry Venables should be tied together by their cocks and thrown into the 40 foot to paddle for their worthless fucking lives.
A greater pair of shitheads you will not find.
I’m an hour ahead of you so yes, time for a jar.
U in rons all day twenty … you blogging from there ?
I’m sure The Chancery is open, but probably full of tourists, and other sad cunts
I am at home. Ron’s later.
One of the best ones I heard was that Venables stole a floor, yes you read that right, a fucking floor from a function room in White Heart Lane and had it fitted in his own nite club.
A fucking dancefloor thieving east end wideboy cunt.
Would that be the world-famous Dunphy who hit the heights with an early demonstration of total football at Millwall? You forgot Venables medals as a player. All one of them!
Sorry, allegedly stole a floor. A fucking alleged dancelfoor thieving east end wideboy cunt.
I’ve been trying to think up something smart arsed to say about “Tel” but words fail me. A total crook and completely overrated as a footballer/manager: I never understood how he got so far.
“The man is a complete spoofer.”
And a charlatan. Sorry – had to add the extra Dunphyism there.
I find Eamonn Dunphy a total fucking mongaloid,
Should be the title
The only reason that sad little tv company use him as a pundit is he gets people talking about it hence more viewers,You cant beat M.O.T.D at least Garry and the two Alans have been there,done it and know what the fuck they are talking about.
And for El im a wanker Tel instead of seeking to manage the national team you should have set your sights on running the country you would have got that job with flying colours.And no Terry i dont want to buy your 03 Skoda you bought to blend in with Irish people….
bang on twenty…el tel is simply a bullshitter..a reject from “only fools and horses”…as for dunphy..they are well matched..how the fuck does he get away with all the totally inaccurate analysis he spews out ot rte2…some day hopefully gilesy or brady..or even souness, will give him a huge size 12 kick in the ballox..if i made the same amount of fuck-ups in my job,i’d be sacked..
okeydokey so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leave dunphy alone satchmo, he is by far the most interesting and entertaining man on the telly, the world would be a duller place without him and all the shite he talks
Dunpho for ever
That was the headline in the biggest selling sunday newspaper
why the fuck do people buy that rag?
I’m an FT man myself now don’t you know.
You’re right of course, Twenty.
As an Aussie who followed El Tel’s exploits in this country with great interest, I can only say that I was happy to see the back of him.
Now I want Guus Hiddink back.
Give Tel The rugby job. Anything would be an improvement.
Dunphy’s a wanker
It is hard to describe the potential level of my vexation had we had appointed that smarmy, useless cockney cunt Venables.
