Dunphy clarifies ‘shameful’ remark

VERMIN and body-building were on the agenda yesterday as RTÉ football pundit Eamon Dunphy clarified remarks made following the Republic of Ireland’s draw with Italy at Croke Park last weekend.

A disgruntled Dunphy had used the word “shameful” in his post-match analysis on RTÉ.

The matter escalated when Republic of Ireland international Stephen Hunt, questioned about Dunphy’s comments at a press conference on Monday, decided to respond in kind, and labelled the often-controversial pundit “a skinny little rat”.
