Theres alot of B.S to be written in fairness
Agree to disagree so. I don't think they were too negative - in fact, I'd imagine that if King had answered the first (valid imo) question, the others wouldn't even have been asked.
And, again in my opinion, nothing in the transcript from some of the interview posted earlier by Geysir supports any suggestion that TOD was gunning for him, out to get him, trying it on, etc.
Dunphy chose his words carefully when describing King as 'out of his depth'. It was a calculated insult designed to hurt and wound as much as possible. That's the really nasty side of Dunphy: he's the worst kind of bully. (King should have reacted with a bit more dignity in the interview; all he had to do was bite his lip for a few minutes - after all, it's unlikely he'll ever be interviewed live on national television ever again).
But would we miss Dunphy if he left the panel? Of course we would. For all his faults, he's not without a sense of humour; is always entertaining and can even, on occasion, be quite self-deprecating.
He's just not a very nice person.
I think you're right, and in my opinion King was having a rant against RTE in general having been expecting a snide dig or two, which maybe never came - or maybe the very hint that the selection wasn't justified set him off. King clearly had Fridays criticism still in his ears.
But I just watched the SKY analysis which I recorded. They decided to pick on the positives and in particular the difference Reid's return made. Instead RTE pick on Doyle being selected ahead of McGeady as if it were a crime against football. It was just biased nonsense by a pundit or two with an agenda.

The self deprecation is only a defence mechanism. When he speaks of himself as a journeyman footballer, if that's what you're referring to, it's only to eliminate the likelihood or impact of somebody else throwing it at him.
Was that Shane Long's message about what it appears to be about? a donkey King etc?
Robbie played the captain's role well with his message of universal love for Noel King and hoping there will be somebody appointed soon without disrespecting King in the least.
"I don't know if there's anything between them (King and Dunphy) but he hasn't spoofed any of the lads this week. He's been honest as they come, a credit to himself the way he handled himself," said Keane, who had earlier registered his 61st international goal.
"To come in, change it all up and leave out players who want to play, he's done well. All the lads enjoyed him, he's one of our own, he's fantastic."
The Ireland skipper did, however, urge the FAI to move quickly on the appointment of a new boss ahead of mooted friendlies with Hungary (home) and Poland (away) next month.
"If Noel is here in November the lads will support him but you'd imagine it's the perfect time to have a new manager," he said. "Otherwise, what's the point in having these friendlies?"
What was Shane Long's message?
Something like "Cowboy! Nuff said" before the match.
Cowboy? I thought it was donkey.
Though I remember there were 2 exclamation marks used.
Via what medium? Twitter?
What else?
But sure Tony was waxing lyrical in that radio piece about 'modern football', about how players positions are less important, and about players moving around the pitch etc.
I think it really shows up the agenda he went with in the interview last night, for him to take the angle about doyle and stokes being out of position only a day after stating the stuff he did on the radio is childish really
Havin a weekend away is quite frankly,lettin ur team mates down!
The comments were bad enough on their own but the two squares at the end are just nasty.
Liam Mackey was suggesting in yesterday's Examiner that there was discord among omitted players. The doc was clearly one, now we have Long. Maybe if Long didn't keep hitting the goalkeeper or ballooning good chances over the bar he'd have more of a case. #barndoor
I think after Doyle's listless performance in Germany, Long would be aggrieved not to be selected for the wide header-winner role but he only has himself to look at. His recent performances for Ireland have been below-par.
I don't know Charlie, it could be just cheeky, I'm not convinced that this is a genuine strop.
#good honest lad
edit, I thought those were 2 smilie laughs but they're not, they mean something else, not happy? stinks?

I suppose so, but it's a bit odd he didn't just clarify and say it's nothing to do with the manager. Either way, at least he didn't do a doc and start moaning on message boards.
