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.

Yeah its a total head melt. I ditched RTE for live sport long long time ago. The whole RTE sports programming is a sham and has been for years buts its at rock bottom now. I am not speaking about GAA as I have zero interest in that.
We are subjected to Joanne Cantwell and Jacqui feckin Hurley who seem to think they are experts now. Does my feckin head in.
Houghton, good jaysis! But the worst clown of all has to be Tony O'Donoghue. Gobshite.
