what i loved was when he'd drop a grenade into the conversation, liam eamon and john would have a deadly serious and sometimes argumentative debate, then the camera would go back to bill and he'd have this big grin on his face or be uotright laughing. a really smart man and also hugely likeable
I'm from England and always watched the World Cup with my beloved BBC However, watched Bill and the team in 2014 and never went back; brilliant coverage with him at the helm Seen him so many times I feel like he's the best host I've seen on a sports show Genuinely lovely man from what I've heard and footage I've viewed R.I.P Bill Okey dokey, will leave it there ... Thoughts with the family
What Bill said: "Ah Eamon, you can't say that..." What Bill meant: "G'wan Eamon, keep going. Tear Ronaldo a new one at least until the break." Tear in my eye for a man I never met. The power of telly.
You can't deny that Bill O'Herlihy is the host on a sports analysis panel ever IMO, have wonderful retirement Bill, I'll miss you, you absolute legend ;)
Gonna miss Bill! Loved the way he sacrificed a bit of logic with outrageous claims, making himself look like he hasn't a clue in front of the other three for entertainment and to get the best out of them. George Hook nailed it: "Any old eejit can pretend to be clever, but it takes a really smart guy to pretend to be stupid".
One of the reasons I always preferred RTE's analysis of football was because of Bill. Proper Legend. A pity he died just less than a year after retiring. Thoughts with his family. May he rest in peace.
So devastated to hear about the passing of Bill O Hurlihy. Such great memories from Italia 90 onwards. I shed a tear today, its like a death in the family. May you Rest in Peace.
Cork and Irish legend! Loved listening to him wind up Brady and Dunphy! You could never wind up Giles though. He's the most laid back fella on the planet! Huge loss to the world of Irish sport. Won't be the same without ya Billo!!
Well Bill, what can be said about your reporting?:- that was a life worth living (fair play to you)...also a great summary of a sporting legends footprint. You will be missed -R.I.P. -so far, so good!
I watched a fair amount of RTE coverage here in the States. I feel like I'm watching my dads friends speak when they're talking football. Bill was great.

RIP Bill, the football analysis hasn't been the same! From all of the avid football viewers in Ireland, Rest in Peace, we'll leave it there so...
