That's a bit uncalled for, especially since he was there with his girlfriend. And he did take a paycut.

Sounds like Degsey who was at the gig so it could've been a lot worse!:D

The man has no talent, is literally contemptuous towards his audience and waves his inflated salary and endless perks of the job in the face of his recession-hit listeners.

He has no place on the radio, yet they still listen.

You're absolutely right, with those qualifications he's much better suited to politics.

The worst day I ever heard him was pancake Tuesday..eating a pancake while on the show making all these stupid noises...I hate G.Ryan

I'd say if he read this thread he would be delighted at the amount of posters who obviously listen to him!

Whatever about us anonymously bitching about him on an internet forum, actually accosting him while out at a gig and telling him to take a pay cut is over the top.

Micilin Muc, did he react?

The eating, slurping, cheap innuendo, the deep breathing, "pervy" voice.... I honestly think it's to get people like you and me to cringe and listen more! It's like reading crap tabloids or riding mopeds, good craic, not very serious, but a bit embarrassing.

I think he was smiling when your man told him he was fat, but his face dropped when he started telling him to take a pay cut. He was in an enclosed area in the old stand (VIP area probably) so there was a slim chance of a physical confrontation.

I wonder is it a common occurrence.

I sincerely hope it is.
The man is an obnoxious tub of blubber PAID FOR by the average man in the street.
If we have to listen to him talking about **** all day the least he deserves is a bit of abuse in public.
He's a scumbag,if he doesnt want negative attention he should shut his fat fcucking gob and go and live in the netherlands with his mate Bono.

Just because I don't like the man's radio show, and I don't, it doesn't give me the right to shout abuse at him if I happen to bump into him. I just stopped listening to the show, problem solved.

No,thats not "problem solved".
It goes far deeper than just his show..he's on television on and off for 20 years,he got 100 grand to write a book bragging about how much he likes the highlife.
He uses these outlets to preach at people about how we should be in awe of people like him,how fianna fail are the salvation of the country and how property developers are the "merchant princes" of the country NOT the people who helped to ruin it.

He shouldnt be anytwhere near any form of media,he's a disgrace.he's unprofesional,he's unfunny,he's arrogant,he's a hypocrite,he's greedy,he's sleazy,he's egotistical and he's paid for out of the taxpayers pockets.

Enough is enough..this fat buffoon has exerted far too much of a malignant influence over the years and its time to get rid of him completely,a poster boy for a lifestyle thats gone down the tubes and a government that fcucked the country over to acheive it.

No wonder he's claims to be mates with bono..to arseholes cut from the same cloth.

Agree completely with you. If i dont like somebody who works for tv3 and i see them in the street, shouting abuse at them is out of order as all i have to do if i dont like them is not watch them on tv and thats the end of it. The same doesn't apply with Gerry Ryan and Co as we are paying for their mega salaries with our tax and we dont have a choice about this, we simply have to accept it. So if i simply don't listen to GR on radio, i am still having to fund his salary and ridiculous lifestyle. If i ever see him on the street, the amount of abuse i have stockpiled for him will be unleashed and people will say i am bang out of order but i will have every right as the taxpayer who pays this guys salary to say whatever i want to him. The guy is a disgrace. BBC broadacasters on his salary have two, three times th listerners at least. And honestly, a monkey sitting in his time slot on 2fm could get the same amount of viewers, he desereves no credit for that.

Ah, feel much better now.

akaredtop

Yeah, and a Monkey would be better looking as well. He is a disgusting Troll.

johnnyboy4711

end of discussion,show should be replaced by music for GOds sake!
We want the work day to move a wee bit quicker not drag listening to auld wans from the inner city and Gerry on half a mill telling them how he can relate to them,horsecrap!!!
sling your hook ,ya muppet!

Probably not,its just that fool name dropping people who he feels we should be in awe of.
In his crappy book he mentions Harry Crosbie about a thousand times.

In my opinion, Gerry Ryan is one of the only saving graces left on RTÉ 2fm. I enjoy his show, although he can be a bit w@nky at times.

Of course..uttery unputdownanble.

Mind you i didnt pay for it.

Ok calm down...

If he wasn't on the radio then what would be be getting paid for?

Look! Ryan is bad enough...with his smug "I'm all right jack" approach and his constant references to his kids and well heeled pals.

But that Bell Voiced bint Evelyn O'Rourke.....Jeeze what a fcukin ball breaker !

Up her own hole an lodged...as they say in Juan les Pins....is she going to be on now constantly for the Summer..??

That said she's not bad lookin...wouldn't mind throwin her a thick length of "knotty rope" if the oppertunity arose :rolleyes:

Did anybody hear him this morning, there was a guy on who had an anxiety problem. He was basically telling Gerry about how this has effected his life and how much of a problem it is for him. Gerry then interrupted him to tell him that he knows what his problem is "you're gay aren't you?" says Gerry. "Eh No, definitely not Gerry" says your man. I pissed myself laughing, what a stupid arsehole.

SuperDude87

Just turned it on for the first time in absolute years

Lasted 22 mins albeit the first 17 were the papers I decided that enough was enough when his first caller was a man who took a bat from an attack took it home gave him flies and bugs to eat and 14 years later needed to ring the Gerry Ryan Show to see if it was the right thing to do.

Honestly you couldnt make this stuff up

The fat prick..surely that sort of behaviour is covered under Incitement To Hatred or whatever the legislation is.
You wouldnt have somebody with a foreign accent ringing up for him to say "are you a paki or a nignog"?.
The fat tool was accusing the bloke of being gay..wanker that he is.

I also heard him licking up to that Tax Dodger's "McManus", saying how well he looked after his cancer scare. Who gives a toss. If the fat prick had a brain he would say people are dying of cancer in this country from lack of facilities because McManus is not paying tax here.

Likewise his much-ballyhooed "friend" Bono Hewson...a money-grabbing hypocrite of the first order and yet Mr "man of the people" has his head buried to the second chin up his arse.

Yup, I was just going to post on this and saw it had come up already. I watched 'Private Parts' last night (years since I've seen it, great movie) but parts of it reminded me of G. Ryan back in the day. The Lambo incident smelled strongly of a watered down Stern beating up his Program Controller lark, several years on. Throw that in with the 'What's he going to say next' factor. I remember him getting a slap on the wrist early on after he announced at the end of his show that Mark Cagney was playing an entire or tracks from a new album on his show and that people should have their tape recorders ready. Simpler times for sure

Time was though he was a good presenter in his day. Maybe it was my age at the time (around 12) but his show in the evenings on 2FM was great. He was genuinely funny though, in hindsight, he was probably starting to climb up his own hole at that point. Now I think back I remember him doing his final show ****ing on about the champagne he was drinking and thatting to Mrs. Ryan as he went. Things went very downhill after he got the morning show.

Out of interest, anyone know what became of his brother Mike? He had a gig on 2FM for a while but then seemed to vanish. He seemed like a harmless chap. I certainly don't remember anything offensive about him or that he was a bad presenter.

I was listening at the time (trying to drown out some babbling nearby). Ryan was trying to 'profile' the guy and came out with the 'are you gay' comment as his first pitch. I though the poor dude on the end of the line was about to lay into him but was just in shock and replied no in a wtf is that question manner???

I dont think Ryan is the worst by a long way but he is a loose canon and the above is a prime example. Hope the Broadcasting committe kick him around for this

He was bashing the chef Gordon Ramsey yesterday again. The chef was in trouble with some TV presenter in Oz, the Oz president gave out about Ramsey and of course Gerry was praising the president. Obviously still smarting from getting kicked out of the chefs house after calling him a cvnt at the top of his voice in his house while his kids were present.

That was a fook up, he should face up to that.

bilko1234

What's it with his obsession with supporting the administration of the USA.
He regularly talks about Clinton as the greatest statesman the world has ever seen. When Hillary Clinton was going up for the Democratic party candidate there was a fund raiser at the US embassy in Dublin strictly for expat American citizens to contribute to the campaign. Gerry Ryan somehow ensured he was at the gig getting his photo in there.
This morning he slammed BBC's Newsnight for "attacking" Barack Obama in their programme last night and of "telling lies".
He went on to refer to BBC's award winning journalist Kirsty Wark as a "cub reporter"
He is now kissing the ass of the visa official from the US embassy in the studio.
I think he is trying to get visas for all his children so they can have dual citizenship, and the more he sucks ass of US officials, he reckons their visa applications will have a much better chance of success.
He is already on record as saying his eldest daughter "Lottie", wants to work and live in New York. I'm sure we'll hear sometime soon that she was successful in her application......:cool:

akaredtop

Kirsty Wark is a top journalist and presenter. Ryan is a foul mouthed unqualified yob.

As much of a t*sser as he is, fair play to him. He obviously reads all this stuff about himself and can just laugh it off. He's one of the most successful radio presenters on Irish radio, so he knows for all his "haters" out there, he still has a lot of fans.

At least he doesn't go crying to the newspapers everytime a bad word is typed about him, unlike some of his colleagues :rolleyes: *cough* Nikki Hayes *cough*

I met Gerry through work a few months ago and thought he was very pleasant. He's as you imagine him... granted, I'm not a regular listener.

Though Nikki Hayes, mother of god how does she have such a high priority time slot in Irish radio when there's so much talent out there?

In fairness to Gerry he has very thick skin

humberklog

He had a good one today with two chemists and one guy from the HSE. It was gloves off and a bit of shouting and roaring. He let it run for about 40 minutes. It was good to hear both sides being allowed to get stuck into each other and he was a good host for it.

As for the alternative this week at that hour? Myles? Fanning? Dunne? Good grief. That's some knitting circle you've got right there.

Oh yes!
So that's why he named and singled out Irish Times Journo Jim Carroll as "an awful journalist" and "useless" and "that he better get used to it" following a reference to Ryan losing listeners in an article on RTE a couple of years ago
It's why his (former) missus used to tear out unfavourable comments and articles about Gerry from the Sunday newspapers before he read them, lest he get upset.
So that's why he rang up Geraldine Kennedy, editor of the Irish Times, to plead with her not to run the review of his "book", a draft of which he had read.
So that's why he lambasted the RTE Guide's Donal O'Donohue for reviewing his book in an unflattering fashion...."I was incredibly dissapointed, shocked and saddened""My daughter was left very upset and it caused me huge problems in a very difficult time of my life"
"Who does he think he is anyway, Bob Woodward?This is not meant to be Watergate. It was insulting""I phoned the RTE Guide editor to complain, but they did nothing"
Thick skinned....I think not!
