Cahill is at it again.

FlutterinBantam

For the last week we had to endure Dezzie positively slavering about the Irish Bobsleigh team and the 'crisis ' in the Winter olympics.

First item on the bulletin day after day!!! who gives a bollox!!!

Then we have him on the Trevor Brennan about bringing a group of 'de fellas' to

Paris and "hoping they all get there safely hmmmphh essssc hhhe"

What are they?? a group of children.

Then he breaks back into the MI schedule to bleat about some goon rowing across the Atlantic.

WTF!!! Will we have to listen to this rubbish for the next few days.

If Cahill wants to be a colour reporter, well go ahead, but i want NEWS in these Sports bulletins not plugs for every gimp who rings in with some off the wall venture.

RTE should rein that guy in.

ldee

yeah oddly enough as a guy who's known for sport he doesn't really give an good insight or analysis.
wouldn't class him as a sports journalist or anything. he's just an rte presenter.

Barname

What is with all the bizzare noises/sounds that emanate when he is on air?

Has he a constant sniffle? what is that damn noise?

Not professional, simply irritating.

Clean out your dog damned nose and throat passages prior to Airtime Des !

I always have this image of him grinning and dribbling

syklops

He's as much a sports correspondent as Derek Mooney is a Naturalist.

FlutterinBantam

Whenever he gets excited about something(usually about some lowlife idiot cycling to Azerbaijan or how a few idiots stuck in New York in the snow hired cars to drive to Florida to get to Croker for Sunday - he just loves that shyte)
he sucks in the air thru the snout and sucks back on the spit.

Thank god in a way Ireland didn't qualify for SA as you'd be listening to Dessie interviewing 'Tony,Anto, Deco and Murrier' who sold their cars ,jacked in their jobs ,took a low cost flight to Windhoek and hitch hiked across the Kalahari to get to Irelands opening game."

I can do without that to be honest.:cool:

Never mind. George Lee will be takin over sports when he gets back as he's not allowed do political or economic stuff. George'll sort it out....

Ah now in fairness the Winter Olympics could be considered a worthwhile piece, the rest sounds like nonsense alright. Cahill's delivery does give off this general air of cluelessness, punctuated by some rather dramatic nasal whines. Annoys me almost a much as Joanne Cantwell.

telekon

Whats that bit 'Off the Ball' do slagging off Cahill and Pat Kenny - happy sports news or fluffy sports news or something...its spot on.

TimmyTarmac

Sweet Christ Mr Bantam et al, he was giving it serious socks this morning with Pat Kenny and Brent 'Popey' Pope about his (Popey's) stylish jacket -how it was a pity he wasn't goin out to Paris with 'De Fellas' and how he'd definitely pull this Valentine's etc.etc. (Insert spit, snort, snot + hair dye as appropriate)
The worst of it all is a quick glance at Radio One's very good JNLR numbers would suggest that the adult radio punters of Ireland really like this stuff.
Ah well, no one ever lost a dollar underestimating the bad taste of the public 'n all that.

parasite

the worst part was when the French journalist was saying how cold it would be and Des says 'sure I'm doing a GAA match in Donegal, hrmmmpphh, snort etc..'

Plenty of dollars lost due to the Irish public's bad taste in political parties though.

Can we have no abuse on presenters appearance, it has little to do with their radio persona.

Is that the way it works out?

yeah, that's the way the family circle the wagons.

And you're the worst in the world when you pipe up and say "What the fcuk is going on out there"

Two high profile staffers found out the hard way that commerce outside the Montrose 'cocoon' is a little rough and tumble and quickly scuttled back to the womb, where, cossetted and protected by the 'system' and the general air of arrogance and invincibility the talk down to the masses and trouser wedges which have most pundits and observers open-jawed with disbelief.

Hold on. I didnt say you are not entitled to your opinion. Of course you are. And you do make valid points now and again.

I dont think there is a person on the planet who can say that everyone loves them, so I dont think people working in RTE or Today FM think so either. All I was pointing out was the fact that you used a mad exaggerated scenario relating to the world cup in South Africa, about men jacking in their jobs etc.,..

It just came across as incredibly childish as do most of your posts which have dreadful English and silly words. Pilgrim? What is that all about?

Did anyone see Liam Fays article in the Sunday Times about RTE this Sunday? It was a similar theme to this post. It was very funny.

Cahill is still at it.

Interviewing the Irish U23 cross country team this morning, after they 'went gold' in Portugal, first thing he asks is what time they went to bed at, followed by about 20 secs of snuffling and harrrumphing fnaaaar fnaaaar wink wink.

Very little about their performance,all he was interested in was the 'afters'.

Eleven o'clock bulletin he was still at it.....

How did that lad get a slot in RTE?

I agree about Cahill.. He's far too overfamiliar, and tries to force his parochial humour into every conversation... RTE, you cannot do humour, do it straight or dont do it at all...

Wasn't really surprised to be honest...Cahill peddles a brand of blokeish buffoonery while making sure not to offend any of the decentskins in the various sporting bodies.

It's too much of a risk to his lucrative compere / MC business on the side.

That is why he will never condem anything ...from downright thuggery in Rugby/GAA to obscene fat cat salaries in FAI.

I would have more respect if he came out and said what many people think i.e that Paul O'Connell acted like a thug when he elbowed the French Guy in the face...but no he will snort and harrump and say he was probably "provoked"!

Nonsense ! Bullsh1t....man up and grow a pair Dessie ...

That is so so true. I remember when he did his sports show following drivetime and a caller referred to the big wigs in the IRFU as 'buffoons' or similar.

Dessie lost the plot and went completely OTT...it was cringeworthy to be honest. It was like someone had slagged off his friends or family. The caller was taken aback as well, before he was unceremoniously dumped. :mad:

Haven't liked Cahill since he did that. Totally unnecessary and OTT.

Happens all the time with cahill I'm sure you will have noticed.

That is why Newstalk have wiped the floor with RTE in the area of Radio sports discussion programmes.

You can forget abut any edgy, near the knuckle,challenge the sacred cows sharp stuff from the likes of Cahill...too many vested interests.

Great though to see the greedy goons in the IRFU / FAI got burned on the ticket bundling scam / prices they tried to stiff John Public with for in the recent Internationals.

Hopefull the same will apply to the Six nations matches - interesting to see if any lessons will be learned .

Cahill was at it again today, relating how 'de fellas' in my pub put money behind the counter to save up for Cheltenham.

Who the fcuk does this in 2011.


Where does he live?

In 1956 in a council estate ?

I heard this as well: it was an interesting exercise in how to lower one's blood pressure when one encounters someone who's clearly not on the same planet as you. This kind of faux-nostalgia was just about acceptable during the boom, but when people are losing their homes, it's pretty tasteless.

Lapin

Heard that too. At first I thought they were saving for an annual trip to Cheltenham which might have its merits if organised properly.

But when it transpired that that they were only chipping in to get some betting money together, I thought to myself, what a bunch of sad morons.

Grown men giving Gerry the barman a fiver a week all year in case the missus takes it off them.

Wouldn't happen in my local boozer I tell ya. Either Gerry would do a runner with the cash the week before Celtenham, or the pub owner would call in the liquidators and píss off to the races himself.


By the way - I hope these two aren't brothers !

Anyone remember the story Pat Kenny told about Des and the RTE table quiz?

Pat was quizmaster and it was the sports round. The question was "whats the maximum finish you can achieve in darts? The answer was 170.

Now one could be forgiven for saying 180 (maximum score). However Des's answer was...."147, no wait, 174!!"



.............174, everyone, 174!!

What? They are probably from a lower socio economic bacggkround and so can't just splurge for the week will nilly. Therefore they took the responsible step of putting a little aside and thereby having a guaranteed kitty to play with for the week, if they are lucky they can turn a profit. :rolleyes:

I follow racing myself and Cheltenham is one of the highlights of my sporting year. If I don't go there, I take a half day off work for 2 days during the festival and watch it down the pub.

However there is no way I would take part in one of those savings schemes they have in Des Cahill's boozer. Here are just 3 reasons why.....

1, I worked in the pub game long enough myself to know that such things inevitably lead to arguments, or at the very least tension, when one or two of the regulars fall behind. For the same reason I would never join a lotto syndicate.

2, As I alluded to in an earlier post, I wouldn't trust anyone in my local pub to hold my money on my behalf for a year. Have these guys never heard of the Credit Union, or a simple Post Office savings book?

3, If I was chipping into one of these kittys, the last thing I would want is Des friggin Cahill telling half the nation about it on live radio.

They can afford to spend the week in the pub and the bookies.

Spot on son.

That kind of crap is the stuff that went on in the 50s, I'm told, when 'the man' was the only one 'working' and needed to hide the full story from 'the missus' .

I'm not surprised Cahill thinks that outdated shíte is great crack as he seems to revert to type and 'go ferral' whenever he mixes with these neanderthals.

I can imagine him bellying up to the bar with 'de fellas' after another RTE junket and regaling 'de fellas' with tales of derring do and places visited all at John Q Taxpayers expense.

I have stopped watching the Sunday game since he took over shoooorrrt snooort :mad:
