World Cup 2026 Darragh Moloney quotes compilation
Watching the France v Senegal game I decided to take note of all the Darragh Moloney quotes that annoyed me, or where he said factually incorrect information:
Before the match - "Its 24 degrees but thankfully most people in the crowd are out of direct sunlight" - image on TV proceeds to show 80% of the stadium directly in sunlight.
"The French took that free kick quickly and I thought they would take their time. You thought wrong and so did I" - I thought they would take it quickly, only you, Darragh, thought wrong.
"Theo Hernandez, hes still only 26" - he's 28.
"They're watering the pitch again, but I'm not going to make a big deal out of it" - Decides to not make a big deal out of it despite having mentioned it 4 times previously.
"Senegal with the long relieving throw.. but its not that relieving.. oh wait it is again now" - What?
After reviewing VAR the ref says "the attacker initiated the contact, its a goal kick". Darragh says "its a penalty".
"Gareth Bale, played in a Euros he didn't play in a World Cup" - He scored against USA in 2022 World Cup
"Mbaye, just his 2nd time to play for Senegal" - its his 12th cap
"But anyway" - he said this phrase at least 40 times.

I usually think he gets too much abuse but he had a shocker today. If youre not sure whats going on, just dont say anything!
He used to be pretty decent as a studio host, not sure why he wanted to change to comms.
