The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread - Mod note Post # 1 Updated

Mark 00 · 2007-04-23 10:55:23

Is anybody getting tired of the Ray D'arcy show. well not so much the show but rather him and his moral highground. If i'm looking for an opinionated gobs**te, there are plenty of other shows. His show used to be just about havin a laugh and not takin things too seriously but in the last year or so he cant seem to talk…

I don't listen to it, used to, but gave up on it. This thread isin't entitled the "who loves Ray D'arcy thread", for God sake, everybody should be able to come on here and have their say. It just so happens that these past few weeks Ray has brought on more criticism on himself.

It's about time that somebody shouted at the politicians.Martyn was one of Brian Cowens cronies , he didn't do a thing to stop him as he let his banker pals screw the country.
Did he speak up when Bertie Aherne said anybody who said the economy was heading for a crash should commit suicide.

Good on ya Ray. Great show.

Please don't be fooled into thinking that Ray was somehow the only person gutsy enough to challenge corruption etc. in politics. He would love to believe he was, but my God, when these corrupt politicians were in power, Ray was the first to announce his adoration for them and their party.

This thread was started almost 4 years ago and is over 100 pages long. almost all of the comments are negative.
My point is that people complain and moan about something they don't have to listen to.

You will see that on almost every thread about a radio show and many TV shows. People don't tend to post glowing tributes to things they love, people post about what annoys them: see the Liveline thread, the Mooney thread, the Take Me Out thread etc.

Cringeworthy isn't it!

in fairness he said the most he would have is a glass of wine when he is doing the show the next day. funny then how i seem to remember them in talking jibberish and slobering about been out the night before like anybody give a sh1t. when you add to that the fact that gerry ryan was drinking the face off himself and even on a bad day he was twice as good as darcy

I have to say I've stopped listening to him cos of several things.
Jenny and Mairead have really started to bug the **** out of me.
And Ray really annoys me about his gripe with negative equity.
He went on about for ages before he let it out he's been affected by it too.
Its the same crap over and over again.
The show has run its course imo

I'd say it's more like a PR stunt from Today FM.

Cowen is still the taoiseach, so D'Arcys promise only comes into effect when Enda becomes taoiseach officially.

I saw him this morning in Dalkey, out and about with a camera crew.

Given the grief that he's invited on himself with the Enda Kenny stuff, I was tempted to shout something about him leaving the country and good riddance, but I thought I'd be the bigger man.......not difficult with Ray (short) Arsey around.

Yeah, because before we weren't going to just because he said so...:rolleyes: He really does think that people hang on his every word.

Don't listen to him by choice. Am subjected to him from time to time on busses, in other peoples houses and in two of my past jobs Today FM was the workplace station of choice. (I only say this for the benefit of those who say "If you don't like him don't listen blah blah blah..." A lot of the time people have no choice...)

Who is going to replace Ray D'Arcy when he leaves though ? I haven't heard any names mentioned maybe Tom Dunne, they haven't got too long to decide as the Dáil is due to sit again next week to elect a new Taoiseach with Enda Kenny, the most likely winner and Ray did say last year that he'd leave the country if Enda Kenny became Taoiseach. Hope you've got the cases packed Ray.

See ya
