Dunphy apologises to Liddle over rant

EAMON DUNPHY yesterday apologised to British journalist Rod Liddle for insulting him on RTE’s Champions League programme on Wednesday night.

However, the journalist and Newstalk broadcaster was unrepentant about calling Niall Quinn an ‘idiot’ on the same show.

Prior to the Liverpool-Real Betis match, Dunphy took centre stage in the heated discussion on Keane he was having with Liam Brady, John Giles and presenter Bill O’Herlihy.
