RTE Panel

Dunphy and Duffer not relaxed at all using it, whacking the screen with their fingers when it only needs a slight touch. Didi was much more in his comfort zone using it.

Interesting watching how seriously Dunphy was taking trying to master it. Could almost hear him thinking ; "If I balls this up they might start thinking about me as another panel dinasaur, like poor Johnny." Smile

I have spent the last year teaching my 67 year old mother how to use her first touch screen phone and the 72 year old auld boy who see's his new tablet as Superman sees kryptonite.

It's a thankless task Cry

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Duff really is a sh*te pundit. Adds nothing, spouts the usual cliches

He's making the bond Villian Eamon 'Red Eye' Dunphy look good

thinks he knows it all then

Some of the sh*te he'd say would make you cringe

Don't ban me for no reason, please.

RTE trying to copy Sky's stylish presentation/analysis on a computer screen interface like MNF and when making a point Dunphy goes "Can I touch the machine?" LOL

He probably thinks its a Commodore 64

Soccer republic doing it too in case you didnt see Wink

I was actually just watching that as you posted! Meant to be doing some work related study but not really the night for it. I remember that night vividly. I was a student at home in Belfast. We always went to the pub for games but that was just a non starter for this one. I haven't been as nervous about a game before or since but that was some night. Horrible atmosphere around town for weeks before and the match just seemed to crystallise that. It's amazing watching Dunphy callling out the six for their triumphalism after Quinn's goal - can't see him or RTE thinking like that these days.
It was a crazy night of football across Europe - let's hope for another tonight!!!! ybig

yeah wonder if he has any plan to get into coaching

will be interesting To see how Hope Solo gets on. Think she will be doing The semis.

Hate to say this but did anyone see Stephanie Roach the other day ?

Poor kid was so out of place something wrong with her voice keep drinking water all the time , I did fine it hard to hear what she was saying .

Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days .

Yeah, she claimed she had a cold or something but it was fairly clear from her voice she had been roaring her head off the night before.

Bit of a left field suggestion but I think your man on Newstalk Ger Gilroy would be good as an anchor on RTE. I don't listen to Newstalk much but heard his interview with Cathal McCarron before and just there this morning with the GAA CCCC Ned Quinn regarding the Kildare Newbridge issue and thought he was very impressive.

Not afraid to ask tough questions but not in a aggressive Vincent Browne way. I think he'd be good on it.

It's not left field at all, Ger Gilroy is an outstanding presenter as is Eoin McDevitt, when McDevitt's Second Captains was on RTE I was hoping he'd get the gig to succeed Billo.

McDevitt and Gilroy are way ahead of any of the RTE anchors, or in some cases put a w in front of anchor.

Re Stephanie Roche, she shoulda just gone sick the other day, it was very tough seeing her barely able to breathe with the voice being completely wrecked.

Dunphy has been shown up this WC as being again washed up, factually incorrect and utterly without credibility now. Kevin Doyle been a very good addition.

We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups.....
