Having seen Eamon Dunphy on RTE before, you could be forgiven for thinking that he's not a huge fan of modern football.
He's never shy to label the latest hot prospect a nothing player, or predict the downfall of one of the greatest European sides of all time as we saw recently.
That idea would have been further supported by Dunphy actually urging viewers to go out instead of watching Spurs vs Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night, in a surreal moment that caught Darragh Maloney off guard.
Dunphy predicted the match would be "dour" and literally advised people not to watch.
The panel loved it, he's some man when he's in good form.
It's a bold strategy to increase midweek viewership for the Champions League, let's see if it pays off.
