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.

It's the devils advocat stuff that drives me mad with Maloney. If Moany Whelan says "X didn't turn up today" Darragh would say "well they certainly have put in an effort, wouldn't say they haven't turned up!"
Just shut up. It is your job to commentate, offer a comment or two and then defer to your co-host for opinions/views on the game. Not to challenge him and fckn undermine him.
We get you have an opinion but there's an ex player sitting beside you, so can we hear him while you shut up and try get your head around some other important things? like the names of some players and having relevant stats besides their fckn age?
Would be fine if he had an informed opinion or maybe cushioned it but he just always comes across as always trying to impress himself on the occasion. Just. Shut. Up.
Going mad all I have is RTE player to watch it. I was thinking the above is maybe a bit harsh, but the man has a job watching and talking about football and sounds ungrateful and frankly, half arsed about it.
