Brady on Scholes: 'Some guys, you think they're intelligent until they start to speak'

The former Ireland midfielder believes the ginger prince is ‘trying to make a name for himself’ by criticising Wayne Rooney.

RTÉ PULLED OUT the big guns as Eamon Dunphy, John Giles and Liam Brady sat down opposite Bill O’Herlihy to lap up England versus Italy.

Discussing the recent criticisms of Wayne Rooney by former Manchester United and England teammate Paul Scholes, Brady was in rare form.

He suggested that Scholes was ‘trying to make a name for himself’ as a pundit. The former Ireland midfielder remarked, “Some of these guys, you think they’re kind of intelligent until they start to speak.” Check out the short clip here:

Meanwhile, Eamon Dunphy joked that he has been measured for the dress he said he would wear as a forfeit if England reached the quarter finals. “I’ve 36cm hips,” he joked.

    Surprise surprise…. Former United player who never said anything turns out to be arrogant and smug. You would swear the was Zidane the way he goes on.

    Schole criticism of Rooney is a bit rich considering the never cared about England and retired because he was being played out of position.

    Bradys is only dismissing Scholes because he criticised Wiltshere. He’s taking it personal. Surely Scholes, the best midfielder England produced us entitled to his opinion. Wenger got his knickers in a twist over Scholes negative comments about Arsenal.

    Too through Nigel, Brady seems to have a problem with former Man Utd midfielders speaking out

    If paul Scholes speakes you listen he knows what he is talking about he spent 20+ years just doing his job keeping his head down and being the best midfielder in the EPL now if he wants to talk about English players let him so far has he been wrong? no he has not , Brady is so far out of touch with how the game is played it’s scary , Rio has been slightly nervous on bbc but he knows what he is talking about so does carragher neville when on sky, the rte panel is a joke only sadiler and cunningham have anything insightful to say , the old farts just talk about not liking players cause they get paid big money and wear fancy yellow boots and if Brady knew anything about Paul Scholes he would know he is not a man for the limelight

    Colm don’t talk nonsense. Brady is not “far out of the game”. Sure he’s been running the youth academy in arsenal for the past decade.

    Typical United fan, insulting an Irish footballing icon in favour of your English idol’s. Sad really.

    As luke said below he is a bitter man , a man who earned a decent wage at his time but seems to resent the current professionals for what they earn , i’m not agreeing with any of the English players cause I idolise them I’m agreeing with them cause there right , Brady is pissed with Scholes cause he gave out about wilshire a while back ,what did wilshire do he rang Scholes for his advice not brady not Wegner but Scholes

    I was agreeing with you up to the point you said rio knows what he’s on about!!

    He doesn’t, how you can take a man that released a statement saying after thinking long and hard I’ve decided to leave Man U knowing quite clearly the truth was coming that he wasn’t wanted and he was told to leave the club seriously is beyond me

    He’s disillusioned about his own career and skill no way he’s gonna criticize his besties waza and co

    Brady played in Italy @ a time when it was the best league in the world, not for 1 big Italian club but 2 big Italian clubs & was & is well respected @ Arsenal for his academy work, so yeah if Scholes is being bitter towards Rooney why not Brady point out his big mouth to him.

    Agree with Paulie Cicero. Pot / Kettle.
    Brady might as well be describing himself. I used to idolise Brady the player but as a pundit he comes out with some BS e.g. blindly defending Trap, his anti Keane comments. Bitter, cantankerous, narrow minded, petty are a few words that come to mind.
