However Dunphy made for great television on it, and he was right, Quinn is a creep and an Idiot and the liddle guy is hardly one to be calling someobody a thug.

Dunphy caught Brady out with the facts about the contract at Nottingham Forest. I actually thought it was one of his best performances. Sure beats Ally and Andy on ITV.

I don't agree that Brady is totally anti-Keane. Rather perversely he proposed him as the next Irish manager

. He is against his Saipan performance which a large number of Irish people are also against. Why is Liddle a thug ? Who's knee did he deliberately try and destroy and then sneer over them ?

I can't remember the Nottingham Forest contract - what was that about ?

"Creep and idiot" for Niall Quinn - 1 nil to the pot over the kettle there. Other than that ridiculous "let's be friends" hand shake with Keane at the Sunderland game, what has Quinn done to deserve this odium ?

Its all to do with personalities I suppose, I would prefer Roy Keane to Niall Quinn, that cant be proved its just personal taste.

Why cant you remember the Nottingham Forest bit is that because It does not suit you. Brady interrupted Dunphy to say that he had his facts wrong about a clause in Keanes Contract at Nottingham Forest. This was after he had made personal insults to Dunphy. He said dont argue if you have not got your facts right. Dunphy then explained the cluase in his contract allowed him to go for a million if they got relegated and he was still their best player that season. Brady said if he had the clause he woudl have went for a million and Dunphy said now because there was then a bidding war between Blackburn and Utd.

Dunphy is a fool but makes for good television and he is rich out of causing controversey.

Brady is a bitter ex footballer who is anti Keane and Man Utd. Him proposing Keane as manager is not out of love for Keane as when he said it he said that maybe he would see what life is like on the other foot and that he deserves the FAI now as he has caused the mess in the FAI.

There is lot more serious stuff which happened to Liam during his playing career that he could be bitter about yet I don't hear a trace of it when I hear him talk about it. I have found his opinions about certain aspects of Roy as team captain to be rational, he is consistent about these things and very clear about the duty of an Irish team captain.

Amen to that Geysir.

I didn't see this exchange but Dunphy, for all his abilities to reach the kernel of a matter at times, doesn't "tolerate" any evaluation of Roy Keane that doesn't conclude that when Roy farts the room fills with scent of Petulia.

I presume the Nottingham Forest thing had something to do with questioning Roys loyalty.

The reason I can't remember it is because I didn't see the whole argument because, as I mentioned either here or some other thread, the wife switched over to Corrie

when the whole thing was kicking off. So your personal attack is unwarranted.

Do you remember Brady being anti-Keane before Saipan ? I certainly don't. He is just reflecting what many football people think about Keane post Saipan (for me post Iran play-off).

And why would he be bitter - the only Irish player successfully to play in the hardest league in the world (Italy) and he's not short of a medal or two, one being an FA CUp medal if I remember it correctly when Arsenal beat Man U in that classic comeback. Why would one of the all time Irish greats be bitter ?

Brady isn't pro or anti anybody. He's just a damn good analyst

brady was on the eamon dunphy radio show one time reviewing the italy v korea WC2002 match when they were knocked out and he said he hadnt seen it but his wife told him all about it and then he proceeded to say in detail what the italians had done wrong.
maybe mrs brady should be on the telly instead.

i'd say that was a furthur testament to Liam's class, the choice he made in selecting the woman who he would share the same house with. How many of us would even dream of having a conversation about football with our partner never mind blindly trusting in their observations about a football match. Its surreal.
