That jerk Duffy

FlutterinBantam

Jaysus, how does that chav get away with it, Todays Liveline stoking up the lowlifes who phone in after bringing knives, toy guns, fruit and other fcukin stoooooopid things on aircraft.

I keep switching off then someone starts a thread that suggests something interesting happened. Bah. :mad:

Mike.

FlutterinBantam

What good will that do Sergei???

DMC

Should the lowlifes be the preserve of Adrian Kennedy?

Or has Flutter become a snob?

FlutterinBantam

No.. but Jaysus..we all know why airport security is in place.

All it needs is one breach to screw everything up.

We all know the adage."You have to be lucky all the time, we have only to be lucky once.

Duffy was egging these gob****es on ,totally to up the pressure level,and not being objective at all.

fcuker should be outed... aaaah i'm geting too worked here.

Sorry tSubh....:cool:

tbh

That guy who brought the fireworks on was an asshole. His daughter wanted fireworks, so he let her buy them as long as "she carried them in her own luggage". Then he complains that they were let on the plane without being scanned and "sure they could have caught fire joe!" Take responsibility for yourself you knobhead, ask at check-in if it's ok. This "Someone elses problem" attitude really bugs me.

Ah yes. General ignorance and, as tbh said, lack of taking responsibility for one's actions. And Duffy taking their points, when they have none. You are most certainly right.

I've begun to think that its reverse psychology by Duffy, eg "lookie here at the dumb fcuks, I'm just helping them dig their hole deeper for them."

Wertz

Have to agree with the bantam on this, was off work today and tuned in for some laughs...the amount of idiots calling in saying they were met with armed police for carrying raw food stuffs onto US soil was comical but Joe wasn't one bit objective...he was moreorless giving the attitude that these people weren't terrorists and it's only a bit of fruit....were the tide turned and half our country was awash with some crop pest or veterniary disease brought in by some African or whatever, the liveline would be jammed with calls to deport everyone and such.
DMC; I thought that too a little...I mean he's not a stupid man, whatever way people personally feel about him...there may have been a sarcastic edge to his pandering to their tales of woe and mistreatment...

I did feel a wee bit sorry for the woman who asked about oxygen on the plane though; she'll no do that again lol

FlutterinBantam

Exactly Wertz,:Its the "shure it's only me" stick thats being shaken by people who are used to the blind eye being turned in this sainted land,and then ****e themselves when some people actually enforce the regulations.

Would not agree that Duffy has any other agenda ,other than stoking up the fuels of controversy,irrespective of the rights and wrongs of a listeners point of view.

All Duffy wants is to pump up the volume for Liveline,and he doesn't give Jack Shidt whether the core issue is right or wrong.

Just take the populist view,and sit back and wait for the outcry,while playing the class,race,and any other card which will rile up the listeners.

You don't fool me Josey.

tbh

Bantam, I have to say, based on todays show, I'm coming round to your way of thinking. There was a bloke on today who bought a toy gun in london for his kid, and was stopped coming back. I think he got a bit carried away with the story, but it ended up with the cops telling him to bin the gun and him refusing unless they refunded him. What kind of asshole does that? Duffy should have put him straight on that right away but he indulged him to the point that the caller was practically bragging about his Fight-da-powah episode. Rabble rousing - you have it exactly.

sudzs

Oh Gaaaaawd!

Here he goes again with the Headshop "debate".

tbh

another perfect example today. The discussion was about diabetics, and their problems getting insurance / mortgages, something I have a bit of experience with myself . There was a girl on who said that she had a hard time getting mort. protection and then went on to say that she had high bloods and was already suffering from complications. JD was talking about how unfair it was, but it's not really. Who's going to take a gamble on someone who's not looking after themselves? There is a lot of sense in some of the rules describing what a diabetic can and can't do - and I say that as a type 1 diabetic myself. To just put the message across that these are unfair and discriminatory is lazy journalism, nothing more. It does a disservice to diabetics in ireland, tbh.

Latchy

I know i am away from the topic in question and i agree that JD does at times seem patronising , but to be fair to JD and liveline it did highlight the recent debate over lack of treatment in the ROI for people with cronic lung problems (forget the name of the illness ) and it was distressing to listen to those people suffering in the background and also so intrusive but it brought the point home and achieved positive feedback with people willing to donate time and finance to helping those who are suffering .

UrbanFox

OP, for purposes of comparison, what do you think of DAMIEN O'REILLY, who does locum for JD ?

If JD was to move on who would be a good replacement ? DAMIEN O'REILLY ?

True. I think the woman who 'accidentally' packed a foot long breadknife in with her smalls ("I don't know how it got in there Joe, I must have picked it up with my washing"....are you for real woman?) was up there aswell.

moe_sizlak

i could almost forgive him if the awful FUNNY FRIDAY was to be banished of the airwaves forever
anytime you have both brush shields and brendan o caroll combined with ringers in who think they can impersonate bertie , you know youve entered a world of pain

NUTLEY BOY

Two points.

1. I agree with moe_sizlak. Those Funny Fridays are just not funny at all. They are utterly tedious and somewhat forced. Better ditched.

2. I see from to-day's papers that Ann-Marie Kelleher will get state funding for spinal surgery in London. Two annoymous sources offered Liveline to fund the procedure privately after the item was aired. Score one for JD & Co.

Result.:)

I find it unbelievable that JD earns €250K a year. He'd be lucky to get a DJ job on hospital radio in the UK.

FlutterinBantam

All part of the cosy cartel which links the top presenters salaries out there in Montrose,whilst they work teachers hours.

They have some nerve criticising the TD's 'holidays'.

They should look a little closer to home before slinging the mud.

And if you delve under the top layer you will find some more extremely well paid liggers too.

I don't think that Duffy ever claims otherwise or engages in self-agrandissment.

Duffy has no perspective and doesn't even pretend to. But he's a member of the proletariat. That "oul 1970's TCD red thing" is a bit tired at this stage. Ability as a broadcaster also involves knowing when less is more, otherwise it is just Adrian Kennedy with a mantle of respectability.

If you want to look at excellent then you would be far better to look at his predecessor who did not allow Liveline to turn into the Whineline it has become.
Kenny or Paddy O'Gorman have infinitely more talent. RTE in recent years have pushed the cult of personality excessively and Duffy is merely a manifestation of this.

I actually think that what constitutes 'good radio' is down to taste for most people. I don't think that saying someone doesn't know good radio is helpful. Taste is just that, taste. Personally, I don't like Duffy. He thinks he's superior to everyone, and he is very patronising at times. I also hate that he when someone says something that he doesn't think should be said on radio he lets out this sigh and mumbles something inaudible. He's on the radio, if he wants to mumble to himself he should wait until he's off air.

I rarely listen. I only do when I'm at home and my mum is listening. (She hates Joe Duffy too but is a bit of a radio snob and refuses to believe that there are any other channels.) I don't listen because I don't like the show, or Duffy, and that's my personal taste.

FlutterinBantam

Look ,what sets Duffy apart is the class card.

The guy practically salivates when phone in dude happens to mention that perhaps,just perhaps mind you,that single mothers just might,just MIGHT,mind you be working the system.

All Duffy is interested in is ratings, thats what I said,ratings.

Once Liveline is in the news he's happy,how ,why ,wherefore, outcome,doesn't matter, keep the programme in the news ,thats the goal.

Always remember that.

It's not just taste.Some broadcasters are talented,Gay Byrne,Joe duffy,Gerry Ryan,Chris Evans.These guys are the top of the bunch.They set the standard.

Is probably from Walkinstown and wore an anorak in the 80's , and played the underprivileged and deprived card which was believed by the masses,who instead of telling them to go and fcuk themselves actually tolerated them and gave them positions of trust.

You sound jealous that a working class guy made it big.You call him a "red" and other communist insults.what's that got to do with anything.Citing o'gorman and kenny makes me think you haven't a clue.That's my final word on the legend that is Joe Duffy.
