I have heard a few interviews from hunt lately and you would need a translator like trap has to understand half of what he says. Dead right on this occasion though

Hunt is 100% correct in what he said. Hopefully RTE take note and get that pr!ck Dunphy off the studio panel
People will tune-in in their droves to see what Dunphys reaction is now, RTE cant buy this publicity. Dunphy is earning his money this week.
why would they get rid of Dunphy!!! He brings in ratings! You may not like him but by God people love to lsiten to him. In order for you to hate him, you must be listening to him!! Lots of people claim to hate him, but everyone watches him! Would you rather have someone like Redknapp who bangs on about how world Class the ballboys are
And as for Hunt, I cant abide him
If it's true then Hunt is well out of order... No two ways about it.
who decides who talks to the press or do the conferences? hunt shouldnt be put forward. he gets on my nerve but hes one of us and I support him but he has to big a mouth IMO.
Dunphy is an analyst, he gets paid to speak his views however controversial people find them. Hunt on the other hand is a professional footballer who has become extremely outspoken and its not as if he is a senior member of the squad who's views are of significance.Ok he's 28, but in terms of importance he's well down the pecking order(except in his own opinion of course).
However, for a person in the public eye to react in the way he has using the language he has, displays nothing but a lack of intellect.
hunt's not the most articulate, but if i'd put in the kind of performance they did on saturday and then heard dunphy, i'd blow my lid too.
i hate people talking about how dunphy bumps up the ratings on tv etc. that's demeaning to football viewers/the general public. Irish Football shouldn't be akin to the ****ing X-Factor. People should want to hear about in which areas right-minded analysts think the team has room for improvement, but also should hear the players that represent their country showered with praise where it is due.
dunphy did absolutely nothing as a player, and therefore i don't respect his opinion, especially when he's being so outspoken.
giles - class player, and adds valued critique most of the time.
sounness - adds a balanced view to what can sometimes be one-sided analysis.
just need a 3rd panel member. ok, not cunningham, or whelan, but FFS that cnut dunphy should not be on the public pay-roll.
Dunphy and Giles are a team, the most compelling interesting team on Football Analysis today.
Brilliant TV, if you dont like it, dont listen to it.....there is no one forcing you to. Turn on RTE and listen to Rico and Gabriel Egan instead.....
Far more people would be gutted than delighted if RTE chopped Eamo
And once again, Hunt is a useless loudmouth muppet
I think Hunt & Dunphy have far more in common than they realise. Neither a particularly great player (although in fairness both give/gave everything for their country) but both very outspoken men who sometimes say more than they should for the wrong reasons.
And is it just me but do they also look a little alike?
Do I have to pick a side, because I think they're both terrible?
Hunt runs off at the mouth too much, the lad is passionate, but not that bright.
Dunphy now sets out be outraged and controversial regardless of the match, he's become a parody of himself.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Normally I'd say Hunt was out of line, but what Dunphy said post-Italy was probably as close to treason as you can go without being strung up.
Absolutely dire.
I'm all about criticism when it's required, but there wasn't much to criticize on Saturday. There were more positives than negatives, despite the sour taste a lot of us felt, and to say what he said was downright unpatriotic.
He's got an agenda as we all know, but it has nothing to do with the success of the Irish national football team.
Dirty rat is bang on the mark. Get him off the air.
Dunphy does what he does and says what he says because he is a self-publicist that has make a lot of money out of being controversial. Of course Hunt's comments are feeding into that. Dunphy loves nothing better than when someone rises to the bait. Something like Hunt's intemperate comments were just what Dunphy hoped for when he went into his rant on Saturday.
PS: Pat Kenny is talking about this topic on radio now. Just what RTE and Dunphy want - to boost the ratings on Wed.
