Charlton Documentary On TG4

Entertainment value.

I like him, for the above reason. Im not foolish enough to believe that every word he utters is the truth, or that every windmill he tilts at is a justifiable target, I just think his undeniable passion (for the international game, anyway), his presence, and his obvious intelligence adds something to the RTE commentary process which has stopped the national broadcaster's football programmes turning into something similar to the farce of "Nice blokes saying nice things to a nice man in a nice studio" which bizarrely passes for in-depth commentary & analysis in other quarters.

Can't argue with any of that. It's priiceless when he starts trying to be earnest and is obviously talking sh1te. And also very funny when he's obviously three sheets or the odd occasions when he's been on the marching powder (early morning games in WC 2002 weren't really designed with Eamo in mind!).

I'm with BondVillain. Only a fool would slavishly adhere to every point that Dunphy makes but he's right on occasion and sometimes it's nice to hear a challenge to the dross you hear on other stations.

Entertainment value.

I wasn't entertained when he supported the sale of Milltown. I wasn't entertained when he, Giles and O'Herlihy led an incessant campaign against Jack. I wasn't entertained when he, Giles and O'Herlihy led an incessant campaign against McCarthy.

Watch Coco the Clown instead. He talks as much sense and is more entertaining.

Hindsight is a great thing
Jeez i think Italy were always going to win that gane in 1990, and I remember that packie pretty much did the damage for the poland game, and brady was an old fella and slow as hell when we had the good times

But thats how i remember it anyway

Well it was O'Leary gave the ball away for the two goals which brought Poland back from 3-1 down to 3-3 in that infamous away game in the Euro 92 Qualifiers.

[Fergie's Son]

Other than Quinn's header we never really threatned Italy's goal. We were never going to win that game. Schillachi had a fantastic free kick that almost went in.

The dropped points in '92 were terrible but England got very luck and had several calls go their way. They were a disgrace in Sweden.

yeah thats true too, but i cant get that image of a flapping bonner out of my head, it was my first taste of bitter dissapointment with Ireland having enjoyed the "success" of the previous years
