I can’t figure out who is better, George Hook or Eamon Dunphy. The two titans of Irish broadcasting are currently at each other’s throats and it looks like escalating into a fistfight over the coming weeks.

It’s fair to say that Hook takes no prisoners and is fond of shooting from the hip.

But let’s not forget, Dunphy tends to tell it like it is and more often than not will call a spade a spade. Then again, Hook calls things as he sees them, and is not afraid to give it to us straight, like a pear cider made from 100 per cent pears.

But there’s no getting away from the fact that Dunphy rarely minces his words. He’s a straight talker. But you’d be wrong if you thought that Hook would ever shy away from ruffling a few feathers with his opinions. And I can only assume Dunphy has made a few enemies over the years with that mouth of his.

It’s too close to call.
