Eamon Dunphy Graeme Souness fight about John Terry and Fabio Capello

[grtas1]

Lol, at Terry being world class. Anyone notice how Terry has only ever looked world class next to Carvalho? Just a coincidence maybe?

[osakavoxpop]

I think Sounness is on drugs

[CuchuIainn]

Great debate.

[CapersEyeLid]

Eamon is a GOD

[dylanmccourt]

Eamon Dunphy is a twat!

[UKcass1]

POTATO!!!!!!

[H4shBr0wni3]

0:00 - 0:05 Bill O'Herlihy is disguised as batman

[IrishRu5T]

Dunphy's a fucking idiot,he's done nothing.Made 200caps or smth for Millwall in the old League 2.He's more known for writing Keane's auto-biography than anything.I think Giles is pretty good pundit but his eyebrow is fucking annoying.Souness is the best in the business.When Keane's on ITV he says it how it is.Neville's the best on Sky by a mile.Wilkins,Redknapp,Yorkey,H­oddle and so forth just agree with everything and say everyone's great or as Wilkins says: ''my word,marvellous young man''

[lawndog6794]

they're both generalising and because of that, theyre both right to a degree. id be inclined to believe sounness however because hes been there done that. he has never come across as anything other than honest. rte punditry is second to none for honest call it as you see it debates. the bbc is brilliant at everything except football coverage. itv isnt even worth considering

[fookfocketyfookfook]

@lawndog6794 ITV do the best champions league commentary. But obviously you need to switch over to RTE for the punditry

[lawndog6794]

@fookfocketyfookfook sorry man but i cant stand that tit on itv. yey for england bullshit.

[tango280581]

Souness is spot on

[philbag85]

love listening to souness he is always spot on

[elemental12345678900]

Ill be honest, UK pundits are all scared of saying something concrete and raw like Lineker and Hanson, whislt the Irish ones like Dunphy and Giles just talk bullshit all the time, we get it John, you were a good player doesnt mean ur qualified to be a pundit

[arbeitsscheuer]

@elemental12345678900 Total agreement. On one side you have sycophants, and on the other side you have contrarians - neither are actually ideal pundits.

[lawndog6794]

@elemental12345678900 what qualifies someone to be a pundit? brian clough was right, punditry is a load of shite. rte however has the best load of shite. even sky has gotten ridiculous with their touch screen tv's and little patch of astro turf. not to mention jamie - never off the fuckin telly- redknapp and that bald chelsea wanker. two douchebags

[ODsDalton]

John Terry and Ashley Cole are world class footballers, there's no denying that whether you dislike them or like them!!!

[colinstephen1000]

I'm a Celtic fan and have always hated Souness but i have to say he was right in this instance,this Dunphy guy is wanting to stick up for idiots like Ashley Cole who would sell his gran if he could and John Terry who is now charged with racist/sectarian abuse and who doesn't give a fk about any1 but himself,the guy Dunphy sounds asif he just wants to disagree with Souness on everything,lol.

[Cahnt]

Souness says there was only ever half a dozen top players in the English league. Wow, that's harsh. Between his Liverpool team, the man u team of the 80s, Tottenham, etc, there were only 6 top players? That's a bold statement!

[cozener1]

Dunphy should limit himself to standing at the bar getting pissed and talking shi t! He would soon be asked to leave before he gets twatted!

[themightybmonkeydust]

@cozener1 well said you absolute champy.

[scousechick87]

usually i don't agree with souness even though i am a liverpool red and LFC steward but in this case he was right, he's played in england and managed english teams he has more knowledge than these 2 do

[Crackers3274]

sounesss is right

[westha1233]

just love souness

[60BHA]

Souness gets it spot on!

[Dewie101]

this is the no.1 reason why watching football on Irish tv is 1000 times better then engerland, no one afraid to upset theyre "buddies" Redknapp, Neville.... jog on.

[rossomaguire17]

Dunphy and Souness are both legends! analysis is quality on rte with the boys

[spacecowboy7580]

@patkawasaki

The only thing Clough managed at Leeds United, was to alienate all the players..which is why he went after 44 days.

The most ridiculous managerial appointment in football.

[blackandyellow133]

I have to say that i dont always agree with Souness but by god he has this one bang on!

[mattpark72]

Souness is a legend. Virtually everything he says is 100% right

[shelbourne14]

lets fall out ahahaha

[fluump2]

Explain........ lmfao

[spacecowboy7580]

the 1st two words John Terry says in reply to the question..Yeh..No.

What a fucking thick moron.

[imedi]

rte have to bring souness back,,, his debates with dunphy alot of the time were  better than the game

[kingofcraig]

England are shite!

[BanjoMan1916]

RTE has the best punditry for all it's sports. You get characters that aren't afraid to express their opinion. Be it dunphy, pat spillane, George hook, souness, Joe brolly, Brent pope. Love em or hate em it's great tv and analysis. Much better than any British one and the comments below prove that

[n17spurs]

@RTEWC2010 you would have thought that our press would have learnt after all these years of underperforming in world tournaments, however, we coast through an easy qualifying group and all of a sudden we're world beaters, however, on paper, our team is good and is full of champions league players and title winners, BUT, together, theyre just a bunch of over hyped wankers who only care about promoting their own self image, thats the problem with england, that and we're not spain

[turkyish]

i fucking hate john terry

[Ruthypops1]

Why cant we have good, honest, frank punditry like this in England. No nonsense, not afraid of offending anybody, not afraid of going against the Sky party line, not afraid of going against the consensus of the know nothing audience which Football panders to these days. Great stuff

[ODsDalton]

@Ruthypops1 Are you English mate, just wondering :)

[Fugazi1905]

John Terry not looking at himself for more??? BULLSHIT.

[sagan1976]

Souness might be right on the core of what he says but he should consider that he doesn't speak as a top coach. In fact, he's a bottom-half coach at best. Should i remember all the half-dead british players he brought to Benfica in the 90's?. I know, he's entitled to an opinion as i am but the mirror "works" both ways, mr. Souness.

[MUFC127]

I'm just glad the English media puts so much pressure on the team that they break. Hopefully it never changes.

[pontiuspilot1]

It's a good agrument.In Dunphys book 'Only a game' he wrote about the scrutiny he put himself under after a defeat when he was at Millwall so I understand his perspective. Graeme Souness and players-well documented.It's just great to see it being discussed on television.

[JohNNyBcOoL17]

"the tail now wags the dog"......love tht quote:)

[MasterofSpiders]

"The omlette before the game" LOL!!!

[mrlavabeast]

Souness as usual is bang on the money. Overpaid, over hyped and over self obsessed.

[poopsbags]

don't fucking diss heskey you cunt

[DamienFknHerbert]

Love RTE for his exact reason. Souness just scares the shit outta me too, wouldn't ever disagree with him. Haha

[scatmando]

England are shite !!!!! Cappello MUST stay.

[scatmando]

Haha the usual over rated English, they talk a good game but win fuck all. Focus on the job in hand ? While shagging your mates wife. I hope you silly cunts keep Cappello for another 4 years and waste your money. Overrated overpaid wankers. Souness is bang on with what he says.

[mmchugh5]

Dunphy is the man - far better pundit than anyone on Sky, BBC, UTV . . . . Anywhere!

[AstonVilla82thebest]

If i was the England manager. I'd give Hargreaves the armband he knows how the Germans work. and is a very intelligent player, and would know how to communicate with the refs, people go on about him being injury-prone. but he was the one who proved he could take a penalty against Portugal where Gerrard, Lampard, missed. a player that is overlooked but uses his "Brain" on the pitch.

[zoso7889]

@AstonVilla82thebest Hargreaves who has played about 12 minutes of football in the past 5 years?

[AstonVilla82thebest]

@zoso7889 Yhyh you'd be surprised lol.

[TheSageofWestRiding]

Interesting to watch. It would be nice if our media took an objective view of our players, and perhaps occasionally (I'm not holding my breath), took their tongue out of one or two peoples arses. My abiding memory of the last world cup was EVERY pundit one every channel, and most in the newspapers telling us we could stroll past Germany. I actually like Gerrard. But honestly, Terry, Barry, Cashley, Lampard, Upson and countless others just don't do it and in world terms are basically average.

[manicbassa]

RTE have the best pundits on TV. SKY have that clown Jamie Redknapp lol!!!!

[raymondlang]

I wonder if I can pick this channel up on SKY.

BBC and ITV are too polite and PC...Graham Souness for Prime Minister, or be head man at FIFA or UEFA.

[Shaftsus]

should have played Scott Parker, Jagielka, Baines, Walcott, Lennon, Agbonlahor, Downing, Glen Johnson, Upson, Kevin Davies, even Wilshere... Terry, Gerrard, Rooney could all just fuck off cause they were fucking disgraceful in the way that thay played and conducted themselves - totally unprofessional and ungracious especially considering that they were representing their own country.

[Shaftsus]

@dvl45 Gerrard is nothing compared to Xavi or Iniesta.

[Shaftsus]

@joeyfoey92 Gerrard is pretty shite these days though that's why liverpool has been crap 2 years running - their 2 key players didn't perform - Gerrard & Torres.

[TheFiltyWhoore]

balaclava bill.



[TheWearsider]

Eamonn Dunphy is a quality pundit.

[GriefTourist]

the pundits in britain are gutless yes men

[ocallaghan1916]

I agree with graham that money has corupted soccer and average players who think they are stars, and i also agree with eamon in general because he is a lege

[4laragh]

Souness speaks truth and knows the Terry stunt for what it was worth. Who is the other fool on the panel? Graham really does look like Yosser Hughes after all is said and done

[MrStallionHAN]

its was funny how MOST of the players for England had put in cracking performances for their Club but i don't understand why do they break-down when it comes to a SERIOUS international game.

[benitocorleone]

Feck, Why can't we have this presenting team on English TV?

[MiKeYdOc2007]

I think that they both have got it half way right. People like Messi, Xavi, Zidane are all good people aswel as players and will look at their own performance after a game and say they werent up to scratch but somebody like Cristiano Ronaldo will blame anyone and anything but himself

[esucil]

souness nail on the head

[NobbyTestis]

Say what you like about Dunphy and the RTE boys, they are pure entertainment when compare to the airbrushed circlejerk that is Match of the Day.

[madbadJim]

RTE evidently have a good track record on broadcasting sport... Their commentators are always the least annoying and just add to the game rather than.. BBC and ITV who seem to re-use poor poor media amateur people again and again.

It kinda makes you wonder... Sport is all about opinion and competing and controversy and rights and wrongs... and RTE took a decision to put the two most aggressive pundits in UK football in the same room... simply for the entertainment. Good bless RTE.

[MrShetty25]

Look at the big guilty sweat on "JT"

[Buth1983]

Souness is an absolute god at punditry. And thats coming from a Utd fan.

[JohnAdams198805]

well done souness for once

[converse91970]

Souness is 100% right here!

[donnyab]

@abitoverdressed

Dunphy talks total but entertaining shite....thats WHY we love him

[CFCSTEVE100]

Capello is a useless cunt, give ENGLAND AN ENGLISH MANAGER

[Sean87756]

dunphy donst talk shite, he tells the truth :) fuck england :L

[Sean87756]

dunphy donst talk shite, he tells the truth :)

[EdgeSteel]

I actually think that was a very professional discussion by all involved. Normally I hate Dunphy but here I think both men made their point and that was that.

[shakercoola]

Spot on Graeme

[aubney1]

ashley cole is a little runt id beat the shit outta him

[cat55hal]

john terry is a fuckin twat...

[Drogba10Ronaldo9]

@helltopo he was an youth at united, then played for milwall,york .charlton,reading so yeah he did play at the top level

[Kjfhotmail]

I wish Scotland had the post match analysis of Dunphy lol! It's hilarious stuff! Funny how much anti England stuff comes out, they seriously crack me up!  Class.

[ste43]

@Kjfhotmail I dont think they're anti England, I think they just call it how they see it and I think being Irish we all enjoy on some level England struggling against teams who they seem inferior. Eamon John and Bill would support Englands campaign as they would support Scotland and Wales as well because we're all neighbouring countries.

[thefdt]

Souness talking absolute sense. Terry isn't a top player, and his attitude is definitiely not that of a top player. his nose was disjointed because he was dropped as england captain after his awful off the pitch actions, and he chose to undermine the man who dropped him. he should hang his head in shame, especially after its emerged many in the england squad found him to be damaging tothe rest of the team, undermining gerrard, and isulting any attacking players who weren't roony or cole. scum

[mkjhagfv]

england are some state , u wouldnt hear of dis kinda shit happening to da german team ,and why , because they are a team , england are just a bunch of individuals who have absolutely no respect for their own shirt . u look at da german players in da champions league before da world cup and they were hopeless ,in particular muller ,suddenly they put on da german shirt and they become one of the best teams in the world and they play with such pride and flare .i think their an inspiration,

[jibsmokestack1]

Souness talking sense!

[johnnyd101]

you don't say it in an interview that shite you say it in the the dressing roo. john terry is a moron

[irishdan2007]

"do you know how hard i am?"

[colinsmyth99]

Spot on Souness, absolutely 100%.

[ShutUpYouMong]

Not one of the pundits on the BBC and ITV had the balls to come out and say what anyone with a brain was aware of - that England were going to be exposed for the shower of useless bastards they are. RTE pissed all over the British coverage - again - this World Cup, and good for them

[daysleeper92]

Souness is 100% correct. I am glad someone is saying it

[iswatchi]

Love listening to Eamon but i honestly think Graeme Souness is an absolute genius and everything he says is 100% correct

[pooka543]

On which day was this, the day after the night before? (the Algeria game) i remember watching this live the other day just.

[billyboy1871]

this irish dude is talking absolute PISH!!!!!! " I think top players are really good people" wtf?? youve got john terry and ashley cole cheating on their wives with team mates girlfriends, you've got gerrard fighting people in bar's near liverpool and thats 3 out of englands supposed top players. Stick to GAA or Hurling buddy, talking out of your arse.

[RTEWC2010]

@TheDk321 Just like the BBC were. They couldn't help whinging about it. They hype the team up and then tear them to pieces. England National football team are shite. Ireland should be there and if they played them they'd beat the shite out of them.

Capello is a useless cunt and Dunphy is king of analysis. Gerrard and Lampard are a bunch of unskilled cunts who couldn't pass the ball 5 feet in front of them.

Thank god they're out. God bless Germany and Fuck England off out of the road.

[gymlord]

FUCKOFF TERRY YOU CHOCOLATE ORANGE FACED TWAT!

[Scotsdave]

RTE, on the ball providing this on their channel. Good on them!

[jinkjack]

All players on the kind of money they're on think they're special, not just in footbal,, but life.Terry thinks he's even more special than most. If he hadn't apologised for his outburst he would no doubt have been sent home. After the world cup he will be very lucky if he plays under Capello again!

[oshman4]

you could really see souness's hatred for the modern players there. his time at newcastle id say really turned him off management.

[menduxsai]

Agree or DIsagree they have an opinion. Thats why i would much rather watch rte than match of the day any time.

[libertineoverdose89]

they played awful today aswell but the boys over on bbc were sayen they played great and on rte they said the truth, dat they were bad

[marionhamilton]

thats good from souness hes the one who ruined the s.p.l. paying overrated players big money then fkn off when celtic got there act together,typical hun talks pish

[descentfromhistory]

Also you cant teach an old dog new tricks. The majority of England's football team is made of pompous, self righteous, conceited, overrated, overpaid assholes. Capello tried to bring some discipline and one by one they will start turning on him. The truth is that these players don't care about anything but themselves and I dont care what bad decisions were made by the manager you never criticize their actions during the FREAKING WORLD CUP! It was completely unprofessional what Terry did.

[descentfromhistory]

A lot of people are complaining about Capello's leadership and strategy. The fact is we all know England is football team that thinks itself better than it actually is. They brought in Capello for better discipline and order but what seems to have happened is short of blame game within the team (of which Terry is wholly responsible). Now tell me how is Capello supposed to organize the team if the media and even players are questioning his judgement? This is the problem.

[scarliley]

great stuff and surprisingly from Souness as well!

RTE showing the way again with how to broadcast football.

[JohnAdams198805]

i admire dunphy and souness for speaking their mind especially eamon dunphy comparing to the bbc crap souness and dunphy are spot on about terrys press conference

[converse91970]

@scarliley I agree. I think when he works for Sky, Souness has to work to their more tailored agenda whereas with RTE he is let off the leash with their "tell it like it is" style. I like RTE's coverage but I can only get these snippets from Youtube unfortunately. Rather a shame it is not on my Sky box!

[WARRENL30]

dunphy is a legend .... the rte analysis is the best in the world .... sly sports and the bbc has nothing on them.

[RTEWC2010]

@abitoverdressed

Feck off.

Most Irish people love him. Your British pundits are useless and Dunphy has said that himself on numerous occasions. All they do is chat shite. Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy aren't afraid to speak the truth.

Dunphy has said that Gerrard is a nothing player. He is right. Alan Hansen wouldn't have the balls to say that on BBC.

[19Wylds95]

@RTEWC2010 yeah well Dunphy just said that Gerrard is a "top player" you dick, so whats your opinion now? Dunphy had the sense to back track and admit Gerrards world class, will you be stubborn or sensible?

[tinkerin0]

first time ive ever agreed with souness bang on

[XxJamesWilsonxX]

I dont know why people are having such a fit about what Terry said about joe cole and rooney. Just because Terry thinks they are the best way to open up defenses why should he be so opressed for it, as everyone in football says everyone is entitled to their opinion so these people who are sitting here and saying that the players are arrogant and full of themselves can just fuck off and get a life

[herstad]

For John Terry it's all about John Terry. Regardles if he's right or wrong it's says it all that he takes it to the media in stead of the manager. England would be way better of whithout John Terry. @Chrismumford so because the media (in YOUR perception) is saying the same as John Terry it's correct what he is saying? What a pathetic argument!

[chrismumford]

Just goes to show what a mug Souness is. How can he question John Terry's commitment? Terry is right. Most of the media are actually behind him on this.... for once. England are not good enough, Capello is wrong tactically and mentally. Capello is easily led and the Paroncel incident has now been revealed as a false story .She has publicly stated there was not an affair between her and Terry. Both the Mail and the Guardian have run that story. So why hasn't Capello given him the captaincy back?

[kjek1]

@chrismumford hes spot on it what he says.

terry is a chav bastard who is doing his best to cause a rift in the dressing room

[paintyourcarpink]

@chrismumford - Wrong. Most of the media are not behind him on this one. Get your facts right.
