DRUNKEN DUNPHY UPDATE
Eamon Dunphy arrived at work on Sunday morning to provide his usual outrageous offsides about the World Cup as usual. Alas he had lifted his self-imposed booze ban the night before and was still, as they say in Ireland, blotto.
His usual sure-fire pre-match analysis was replaced by slurred slurry and soon afterwards he was driven home by colleagues. Dunphy, who is Roy Keane's official biographer and a strident critic of manager Mick McCarthy, has been the scourge of the Irish team - he went on air to declare he was supporting Cameroon in Ireland's first game.
Today, a sobered up Dunphy admitted he was "tired and emotional" but is smarting at the way he has been treated after a 25-year career with RTE, declaring he won't be doing another World Cup for Irish TV. "I might do Iraqi TV," he said. Book him now.'
