Apres Match

Some of it has not been too funny, but the one of Setanta sports is great, Pat Dolan..............

 

Its nothing like it used to be a few years ago, but its worth keeping an eye out for the odd time cos they come up with a few good one's. I have to say I'm a fan of the the impersonations they make of the RTE studio with Bill, Dunphy and Brady.

 

They do the impersonations very well. Risteard Cooper did a very funny 'Stan' about a year ago. 'I was undermined by my greatest weakness...my achilles heel...people stabbing me in the back!'. Something along those lines. Very well done. Then there was the great 'Dunphy' one: any team can win the Euro finals if they have pace, hunger and desire...Classic.

 

Hows it goin? My first post here, usually hang out on boards.ie. Anyways, while I normally like Apres Match wasn't tonight's brutal? The one with Joan Burton. I've seen funnier heart attacks.

 

Welcome to the site Shamrok. I remember the Joan Burton thing on 'The state of us'. The character did nothing but whinge and moan about the taoiseach. Enda Kenny was well done. The fine gael watch word is 'integrity'. It's all there in the contract for a better Ireland that you the electorate can sign on election day. Good stuff.

 

Its very hit and miss at the moment as a lot of them are done right after the game when they include the games score in the sketch so they are more or less winging it. Id rather they go back to the scripted sketches.

 

god i love it the dunphy character gets me in knots every time

 

I thought the one 2 nights ago where "Dunphy" stormed out and "Brady" got his revenge for the infamous Wenger tape that night against us in the CL was a classic..."You should ahve turned up to the editing suite, Eamoooon" and giving him the 2 figures as "Dunphy" left..classic

 

the badgers scetch was hilarious

 

Thanks for the link. Some classics.Miriam and the lads on Lisbon.

 

The ones during the world cup 2002 and 2006 were very good.

 

last nights was good....irelands got analysis

 

Some good quotes from the RTE boys.



Bill - "What do you think of Group B gentlemen?"
Souness - "Looks abit like World War II, Bill".

Souness - "Croatia were a little bit tippy tappy for me".

Dunphy on Saturday "Real Madrid are offering ronaldo €250,000 a week after tax, he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"



Dunphy - "Sergio Ramos is like Paul McShane on steroids".

Dunphy – "Luca Toni is a poor mans Peter Crouch"

Quote by Jimmy Magee, just now in the Portugal v Czech game.
He was talking about the midfielder for Portugal who had just taken a shot at goal.

"He is clearly a privileged spectator as that is the first thing he has done all day"



Jimmy Magee again : and the ball is passed wide to Ricardo Ronaldo '...Kinsella was too polite to correct him then a min later he says...'I just promoted the Portuguese goalkeeper to the wing'.



Jimmy Thegee again: "This must be the most attacks by an Italian team in an international match in the first 16 minutes than anyone can remember"



Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven't played a proper team yet"
Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. What do you mean a proper team?"
Dunphy - "Sweden"



Mark Kinsella after 15 minutes of tonights match between Austria & Germany..............

"I see what the Austrians are tryin to do here, they are tryin to stop the Germans playing football"



Mark Kinsella when the challenge was made on lahm (which resulted in ballacks stunning freekick)...........talkin bout the austrian who brought lahm down "he really needed to make that tackle........doesnt matter bout the free kick lahm was on a good run".............ballack riffles one home.........."ya see needless freekicks cost ya



Jimmy again: klasnic has socred for poland, they lead one nil" then it shows the replay and he realise it was a goal against poland and he says "
of course that was Klanic of portugal who got the goal



BILL:
"Just one interesting point.Italy have now qualified for the quarter final with 4 points ,when last time they failed to qualify with 5 points.Whatever that means,i don't know" Smile



Souness - "I agree with Liam......"
Dunphy - "Its Eamon"
Souness - "Sorry, whats your name....haha....good job Liams not here"



Rte quality last nite discussing Italys second goal

Souness: Henry didn't want 2 know too concerned in covering his manhood that he turned his back on d ball

Dunphy: Tink it was a bit low to b worried about his manhood

Giles : Eamonn how do u know his manhood doesnt go down dat low

 

There's a few gems in there

 

I remember these 3 alright they had me in creases, the same as Giles, there is at least 3/4 times every night he clearly forgets what he is talking about as he is talking about it and just starts going 'eh eh eh, anyway Bill the point Im trying to make is...'

 

The other one I heard was in Germany when the draw for the group stages was made:

Germany
Poland
Austria
Croatia

The Germany commentator says "50 years ago, these would all have been home games!!!!"

Classic

Granted I know its not Apres Match but still a classic

 

lol.
