QuoteWell, Inter certainly went out to play for a draw, especially after they went down to 10 men.
But... what the hell is Dunphy on about!?
Sorry Neil but I don't think Dunphy's sensationalism deserves a new thread in this case.Obviously it's a no brainer and Dunphy's just doing his best to play down Liverpool's win.

Billo asked him about the defensive side of Italian football and if we will play like that under Trappattoni. Eamon said that we would not as we are a better side than Inter and he would rather go to war with the Irish guys.
In Trap we trust
No prob I think I can get over it. You are right to put it in the rest of the Dunphy thread.Originally Posted by eirebhoy

He reached a new low last night. It was cringeworthy stuff. The two of them actually dismissed the one person with actual knowledge of Italian football (souness) because Dunphy watches La Liga on the box every weekend.
Zlatan is a nothing player.
As for their oral wa*king over Gerrard I hate it. One thing he did last night , 1 thing, and they cream themselves. Except Giles. He really can spot a chancer in the middle of the pitch.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Ireland are better than Barnsley who are better than Liverpool who are better than Inter. simple really.
When Inter beat the scousers 3 nil he'll say Inter will win the Champions League......
The really cringe-making stuff was when Laughing Bill congratulated Giles/Drunkphy on their part in helping to appoint TrappatoniAt least Giles had the good grace to say, other than his attempt to get Jewell appointed, he had no part in the process. I don't think Drunkphy's rants against Venables had any effect on the matter. As evidence by the polls in foot.ie, most fans were dead against the appointment and I suspect that was reflected in the FAI Board, otherwise he would have been appointed straight away. For Laughing Bill to publicly thank the two for their roll in the matter - well pass me the sick bucket.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

Here Owls fan you should give Kevin Myers a call.
In Trap we trust
he also said doyle and o shea would start for inter milan....i think....
Myers is perhaps the only person in the country more objectionable than Humpty Dunphy.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Lads, i think too many people take Dunphy seriously. He's just there for entertainment value and if everyone realised that they'd enjoy his rants so much more. Everything he says should be taken with a bucket of salt.
For intelligent analysis, see Giles and Brady (not Souness - he's like a little mouse when he's with the lads)
Like the 10+ years vicious and personal campaign he lead (aided by Giles and Laughing Bill) against Charlton and McCarthy. I took that seriously as I took his support for closing down Milltown seriously. Only in Ireland would a total clown like that be tolerated on the national airwaves venting his spleen and making a fortune as well at the same time. The hypocrite citing Venables misdeamenours when he's been up in court more often than the Yorkshire Ripper. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Was the Yorkshire RIpper up in court much.

He did say Doyle, though muttered it more like. Don't think he even believed it himself..he also said Stephen Ireland would and Duffer of course would get in obviously. Thats 6 Ireland players in the Inter Team, who are walking away with Serie A!! I luv DunphyThink he said Dunne, O'Shea and Keane, if he said Doyle, I don't remember it.
Think Souness is a good addition to the panel, if Brady joins Ireland I'd welcome him on board. Think he enjoys being able to speak freely on irish tele as opposed to offering cliches on Sky.
Taken from football 365's mediawatch page - sums up what I think of Dunphy perfectly;
Rent-A-Quote And Bullsh**ting
And there was yet more proof that RTE firmly pulls down the pants of every broadcaster in England in the shape of another Mediawatch favourite Eamon Dunphy's post-match 'analysis' of the Liverpool game.
Having predicted that Inter would win the match, Dunphy proclaimed shortly after the final whistle: "Let's put Liverpools achievement in context: Inter are crap."
Apparently winning Serie A two years running, leisurely strolling it this year and going unbeaten for five months are not good enough to impress Eamonn.
But he didn't stop there. According to Dunphy, the Irish national team that required injury time to beat San Marino, and were spanked 5-2 by Cyprus are better than Inter, and that John O'Shea (at this point you'd be forgiven for thinking we're making it up. We assure you, we're not) would stroll into their side.
He rounded things off quite nicely with a startling lack of knowledge about, well, anything, with the pearler: "Look at Roma. They got beat 7-1 at Old Trafford a few years ago and went on to win Serie A!"
Entertaining stuff. All the more entertaining when you remember that this is the man who accused Roy Keane of being a 'rent-a-quote', 'bullsh**ting' and 'vacuousness'.
If you'll excuse Mediawatch, we have a satellite dish to re-position.
In mitigation of that point, he said before the match that if Inter showed up they would win. Obviously they didn't, and so, using Dunphy logic, they are crap. Not sure how to explain how that justifies a rant about Serie A, the excellent Cordoba being a nobody, and Jos getting on the Inter team, however.
On topic, Ireland are definitely better than Inter. When have they ever beaten us?
Dunphy is nothing more than a fella sitting at the bar spouting off whatever comes into his head. We've all done it. He just does it in front of the camera. That's what makes him stand out in the inane world of punditry.
He obviously can't stand Liverpool though, and was discombobulated by the result.
