Which was greeted with more frenzied glee by the bulk of the general Irish public? Robbie Keane's 92nd-minute equaliser against Germany last Wednesday or Eamon Dunphy's suspension by RTÉ last night?
It's difficult to know - and that gives some indication of the level to which Dunphy has taken Irish passions over the past fortnight.
If there is someone out there who is neutral about the Today FM presenter and RTÉ football pundit they're keeping a very low profile. As a rule, the nation adores or abominates him, there's no room for middle ground on the Dunphy "issue".
"Up yours Dunphy," screamed a headline in an Irish tabloid last week, while another opted for "Donkey Dunphy" over a green, white and orange Tricolour. His crime? Treachery. His rage over the Roy Keane affair led him to wishing the Republic's Group E opponents - Germany, Cameroon and Saudi Arabia - all the very best in their quest to deny Mick McCarthy's band of jolly green men a place in the second round of the tournament.
"I'm not a flag-waving leprechaun out on the streets, 'Ireland - right or wrong', I want Irish soccer to fulfil its destiny. I want us to fail, yes, I want it to be exposed . I hoped today that Cameroon would beat us, that Germany would beat us and that we would go out of this tournament, it would be the right price to pay for what has happened," he said.
With that the Montrose switchboard nigh on spontaneously combusted, such was the volume of callers attempting to get through to register their revulsion at Dunphy's comments.
Close to 2,000 calls were logged, RTÉ had never experienced anything like it.
It all started, of course, with Keanegate, when Roy Keane's disgraceful dismissal from the Irish World Cup squad was engineered by McCarthy/when disgraceful Roy Keane left McCarthy with no choice but to send him home (season according to taste and delete where necessary).
Dunphy, Keane's biographer, was incensed by events in Saipan and devoted most of the air-time on his Today FM show, The Last Word, to letting his listeners know about it.
To his detractors it was all too reminiscent of Italia '90 when Dunphy turned on Jack Charlton, most notably when Ireland, with an abject display, drew 0-0 with Egypt.
Charlton dismissed him as a bitter little man. Relations between Charlton's successor and Dunphy have been no less rancorous the past two weeks.
But McCarthy has survived to tell the tale - Dunphy, like Keane, has been "banished" from the World Cup camp.
