Stephen Hunt has branded Eamon Dunphy a 'skinny little rat' after the pundit described Ireland's performance in drawing with Italy as 'shameful'.
Speaking ahead of the final World Cup qualifier against Montenegro, Hunt was critical of a few pundits who, in his words, 'say stuff for the sake of saying it - to be the bad cop.'
However, most of his frustration was aimed at Eamon Dunphy. Hunt explained: 'People in the press write columns. I know one or two of them do it and they generally don't turn up here.
'That's the truth of it but they say things for the sake of it and you think, what are they doing? What are they trying to achieve? Sell more newspapers or get more viewers? It's ridiculous.
'Where do they get their kicks from? And especially Dunphy, he should know better by now. He's a skinny rat, a skinny little rat.'
