So what's shams HistoryOriginally Posted by anto eile
with all due repect,the full quote was (i heard it myself) was "roberto baggio to brother dino".hamilton later blamed it on dodgy notes he was given by rte before the game.
what the f.uck are "shams"?
Watched the tape of the Pats-Shels match back this morning, and noticed this comment from Paul Doolin "No team has retained the title since Shamrock Rovers in the 1980's" Truly, a re-writing of history that uncle Joe Stalin would have been proud of. What a plonker.
Yes I agree 100%... walked out on us after 20 matches in which we had statistically possibly the worst sequence of results in recent history... We were the 4th best team in form in the final 16 games of the 2003 season and only went down by 2 points...PD definitely responsible for our going down last season and we will enjoy taking points from DUFC next season.
It is policy in the hacker household never to allow a discussion on commentators to pass by without a mention of ........CANNING.................an absolute carbuncle on the arse of RTE.
I stand by what I said about George Hamilton being a great commentator. Its not the same watching an Ireland games if he's not commentating. People are referring to his Baggio brothers mistake. That's what commentators do. They make mistakes. John Motson made plenty of mistakes, but it doesnt take away from his legendary status. It's hardly Geoge Hamilton's fault that RTE dont show more EL football. He is an easy target.
As for RTE not showing more games, thay show what is in demand. That is the Premiership and Champions League. While I prefer EL, I am able to accept that more people prefer Premiership and CL. RTE are interested in viewing figures, not in keeping a handfull of Derry City supporters happy.
With regard to Max Powerless saying that nobody takes me seriously, I'd say that is a rather ironic comment. At least I contribute something to this site. I've rarely seen a post of his that is more than 2 sentences. 'Nuff Said.
"Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe." Dillo
But he does make an awful lot of mistakes.If only I had written down every stupid quote I've heard from that man,I willl from now on.I remember in the shels v lille game(i think),he took the time out to tell us all that the lille keeper once had a TRIAL with parthick thistle.Actually now that i think about it,it might have been a different game,but the point is the mans football knowledge does not go beyond british football.He always has to make a reference to the game in britain.At the cup final,he reminded viewers that man utd came back from 1-0 down in the last few mins and this was even before our comeback.The whole of RTE are the same.Dunphy's football knowledge does not go beyond man utd,After the cl final last year they decided not to talk about the match but about man utd,chelsea and arsenals chances for next season.Another time they were talking about how overpaid pre-madonnas are no longer ruling football.Singling out teams such as greece.Dunphy then goes on about how japan over achieved in reaching the semis of the world cup(strange,i thought it was s.korea) and how teams like porto and...........he couldnt remember who porto played in the cl final.Anyway i know this is going off the point,but i'll do some research and come back with stupid things hamilton has done
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Someone did...http://dangerhere.com/george.php
I just think it's sad that there's moral outrage when he makes a positive comment in trying to promtoe the league. It really shows why people look at EL fans are being a bunch of whingers, not only this but people were moaning about RTE actually showing the game ffs, we're literally never happy.
sorry slash/ed i take his comment as a total insult......as far as rte is concerned friday night....is far from eircom league night.......sat afternoon is another counties league afternoon, now there is a true statement

I don't think I have every witnessed George commentating when he did not make some comments which indicated to me that he knows nothing about football. He may have done some research and drop in bits of information from his notes periodically, but when something occurs in the actual play he usually draws the wrong conclusion.
I for one always switch to another channel to watch the match, if the choice is available, rather then listen to his ramblings..
And there was more than a Longford fan saying they liked hamilton too.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
and a lot saying they had no time for him either, it was the comment i picked up on anyway, not the man himself. i would ahve posted that no matter who said it.

the "pulling him off" one was priceless. I remember it well. Spain 92. -i think it's featured on every danny bakers top 50 football bloopers videos ever since.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
football in ireland IS the garrison game so take up GAA if thats a problem for you
Get over it. It's a fact of life that a manager will want to go to a bigger club. Would you turn down promotion in work? You're sounding like the CHF whingers: It's Roddy's fault we went down etc etc blah blah.
How about looking at the players for the reason you went down?
