Yeah I do like him. It's hard to fill in for another person like Ray too. I just miss Ray when he's not on. But Anton is pretty good as a filler for a few days.

I think he does an excellent job covering for Matt Cooper too:)

Ah Anton is alright. A bit scattered but I like him.

Suppose Ray will be off for a few days at least?

Yeah. Funeral is Wednesday so I am presuming he may be back Thursday. Jenny probably next week. Will be difficult though, knowing the listeners are waiting for you to mention it etc.

I didn't know he filled in for Matt Cooper too. I rarely get to listen to him anymore though. So he's the emergency fill in man then?

Ah right. He might be out for the week so maybe. Hopefully all the messages of support from all the listeners will be of some comfort for Jenny.

I saw Jennys dads death notice in the paper. I had to smile when i saw "Up The Dubs!" at the bottom.

Yeah he does the sunday business show too

He's also a journalist and works as a communications adviser as far as i know

Say Your Number

Anton is a solid replacement. I just wish Mairead Farrell would shut the f*ck up, She ruins it butting in with inane comments.

I smiled too, but found it slightly eerie that the day before when in Westmeath they were talking about it being her father's homeplace but then Ray said how Mr Kelly was a staunch Dublin supporter.

So sad for them all and even worse when you are in the public eye to a certain extent as everyone knows your business.

I'd listen to Anton Savage anyday before D'Arcy now

Anton has a bit of a stalker admirer I think

Must agree though, he is excellent.

All male show today with just Anton and Will - felt different.

I really like Will - he's a fountain of knowledge

+1 for Mr. Savage - he's doing a good job

I also thought the 'Anton & Will' show worked well today..

Indeed. I know Mairéad irritates a few people but I don't mind her. I like it when she and Jenny usually gang up on Ray.
Hopefully it won't be long before the gang are back together....yes D'arcy irritates me sometimes, but after a small break when I listened to Tubridy I'm back and enjoying the show

i'm convinced she fancies him. All the little digs........
check out her styling his hair on youtube. auld gormless anton hasn't copped

I'm a big D'Arcy fan but I do love when Anton is on the show. He is brilliant on Matt Cooper as well and not many DJ's could do that show.

RIP Mr Kelly

She doesn't hang about does she? Not that long since she split with the husband. Not surprised though.

ANyone know when Ray will be back? Surely he'll be off for the rest of the week.

Ah they announced the split last July and were over months before that so it's been a year, that's enough time to get over it and move on. She's not exactly Jordan jumping from one husband to the next!

I'd say Ray will be off for the week now, which is fair enough.

Itssoeasy

Listened to the anton and will show on tuesday and liked it, cant lie it flowed well. What was todays like ?

cats.life

my heart is broken for jenny, i know what its like to lose a parent that quick, it has not lodged in her head yet that her dad wont be coming back, it will take along long time for that to happen.

UpCork

KC is on today, he's grand, but I never thought I'd hear myself say I miss Anton.

Ray back tomorrow apparently

xalot

Way prefer KC to Anton, he's much more fun..Anton is better when covering for Matt cooper imo

heyheyhey1982

I think Ray was an idiot saying they burried him with the docket- whats the odds on his grave been dug up in the future- lot of desperate people out there:eek:

Clanket

Do you reckon it wasn't claimed? I was thinking they claimed it then asked for the docket back to bury him with.

There's no way they'd leave €5k unclaimed.

UpCork

I just presumed they claimed it then asked for the docket back.

Ray started off sounding very subdue today. However, now he's trying a little to hard to sound jolly.

heyheyhey1982

i got the impression he was burried with unclaimed docket. Seemed to be a wealthy family- top soliciter. I could be wrong- some bet though- 5700euros on a player that never won much.

pinkypinky

Maybe they gave the money to charity? They'd hardly let it go unclaimed, regardless of wealth.
