    You're interested in the views of a vile fawning elf-skinned puttock! Why ?
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    He writes for some tabloid so his comments will be in print somewhere today, no doubt.

    Don't waste your time, just recall any of his other brutal, "controversial", assaults with no foundation and you've hit the nail on the head.

    Same old simple ramblings, using one or two incidents to highlight his point and ignoring the rest of the game. Did anyone here expect us to do better than we did? Thought not.

    He was presumably drunk again as all three on the panel with him were gobsmacked to the point of laughter. Comedy character he is indeed.
    The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

    Dunphy

    Why do we believe Dunphy? Why do we suddenly take him seriously when for years he was the butt of jokes. He has shaped our view of the Jack era. He shaped our view of McCarthy and he destroyed Kerr in the final games when we could have qualified for the world cup. Now as Brady says he is out to undermine the next manager. Thats all he does -he destroys. And so many of us are taken in. He claims to critique but its not positive criticism. Its polemic

    I felt his points had foundation. The others didn't seem gobsmacked - Brady actually admitted that he agreed with a lot of what Dunphy had to say.

    Not sure what you were watching. Maybe you were the drunk one.

    Let's be honest here for a minute. Dunphy will never forget what happened in Saipan and is still anti whoever dared to disagree with Keane. I'm not a huge Staunton fan but that's purely because of his inexperience, nothing else. The final straw for me re Dunphy was the other night when he said that Miller should be in the side(the same guy he said previously wasn't good enough). Now maybe I'm being over cynical but you have to remember that Miller's just signed for Dunphy's hero. Think about it
    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    Living abroad I didn't hear Dunphy's comments but how anyone could treat that gobs**te's opinions with any credibility surprises me. He'd still have a moan if Ireland had won 5-0. He tries to be controversial to hide the underlying fact that he doesn't really have much of a clue about the game.

    He is unintentionally funny at least though.

    Dunphy is a joke. Its time RTE showed him the door. He wrote in the Star today suggesting Staunton was a clown for having a joke with Houghton before game. Im sure that really affected the performance!
    The biggest fear is that idiots are probably listening to him and will start turning against the team soon enough.I believe that Staunton is still very unproven and the jury is out but am willing to give him a chance. Its not his fault we dont have the players.

    I'd be pretty sure there's a reason why he's trying to cause all this controversy recently. Is Monday's edition of the Star (if that's the day of his column) losing readers?

    Thumbs down

    Dunphy has an agenda to destroy the manager. Brady made the point - "I agree with some of your points, but I dont agree with your desire to undermine the manager". (not an exact quote). Its Dunphy's agenda and his politics that are vicious. Great point above about Miller - he suddenly likes him because of Roy Keane signing him. Its so obvious. Of course he makes some good points, but his whole approach is a disgrace.

    Truth is any manager in the World would struggle to make us a top class side at the moment.

    Have to agree, Dunphys attacks on Staunton seem very personal and are driven from his so called loyalty to Keane. Keane must be hanging his head when he hears some of the comments. The Star are making a mistake by letting him write such crap and expect us to buy it.
