"Very happy, very satisfied," said Gilesie at full-time. "Satisfied but disappointed," said Ronnie. Dunphy? Spooky stuff: ecstatic. Bill was puzzled. He thought the win was there for the taking, if only Giovanni had been a tad more adventurous.Print this post
(Note: we haven't made this up). Dunphy: "RTÉ shouldn't be always knocking the Irish manager, we've got one of the best managers in the world, we're going to South Africa, this project is on track, relax Bill, we'll be doing it from South Africa, live Bill, LIVE!"
"All I can say to ya," said Bill, "is 'poacher turned gamekeeper'".

poacher turned gamekeeper
Only caught the last 10 minutes of the Irish match but didn't miss the RTE punditry afterwards, from the Irish Times:

Maybe a bit of loyalty to Liam Brady???
Very strange to hear the lads being so positive - even in their criticism of Hunt they were highlighting his positives.
That said, I think that the two games were great - defensively they have been very composed and gave away very few chances. They might not have had loads of goal opportunities, but they looked controlled and held possession very well away from home (massive progression from Stan and even Brian Kerr).
Even the papers are for the most part positive, which no doubt means that the backlash will be even greater when they do f&*k up!
I thought it was class also the way Dunphy took the mickey out of Bills accent...must say though...the project....getting Ireland to a World Cup is exciting.....this campaign could get really interesting...so far so good......pity Mageady couldn't do a little better.
Otherwise, the team looks good and has a sense of purpose about it. Defence looked very solid with O'Shea commanding at the back. The bones of a very good team there and with the right management and commitment from the players...I think we will make it.
