I respect tubridy more after this interview

bigjohnny80 · 03-09-2010 10:11pm

This is the most embarassing interview i have ever seen on the late late. Tubridy is a joke, i cannot believe how bad he is.

I feel sorry for Blair but at least he is running rings around him.

Tubridy should be ashamed of himself. The RTE execs must be cringing.

This is so irritating.

To be fair what Irish presenter would be on a even playing field with Tony Blair. Blair is a master and no Irish presenter would have been able to challenge him.

Dermotsull13 · 03-09-2010 10:12pm

jesus this is brutal...tubs line of questioning is shocking...4 or 5 jibes in a row about drinking....we get it lik

Bodhisopha · 03-09-2010 10:12pm

Tubs just recycled the same question over and over. Was it the wrong decision? Are you a war criminal? Do you have blood on your hands?

The man is useless.

I don't particularly like Tubbs but I thought this was a very good interview and Tubbs did ask some tough questions. It's a hell of a lot better than that Richard Dawkins interview. Makes me angry even thinking of that!

phonypony · 03-09-2010 10:14pm

God help me, i never thought id say this: bring on Jedward. They're much closer to Tubridy's level of intelligence...

Sorry to go against the grain here but I find Tubridy is asking more pressing questions than the staged and recorded Andrew Marr interview on BBC two nights ago, but I'm sure a lot of people here didn't see that.

I saw that myself and Andrew Marr's interview was done in 3 clear stages and was clearly pre-agreed and staged. Tubridy has covered a lot in this interview but he simply doesnt possess the intellect to challenge Blair. Few can. Ask a hard-hitting question like "But there were no weapons of mass destruction were there?" and Blair will give his stock reply. Tubs simply doesnt possess the debating skill to take him on that point so we just get another question not linked to the one previously.

Blair has laid the blame for the WMD lie at the door of faceless "Intelligence". We will never know how much was intelligence and how much was Blair.

Dawkins doesn't deserve a good interview, he's a know it all.

johnn · 03-09-2010 10:15pm

Why get an entertainment presenter like Tubridy on the late late if they were gonna continue with social/current affair issues?

I assumed it was gonna be revamped into what his sat night show was like with all current affairs on The Frontline

baldbear · 03-09-2010 10:16pm

I hope jedward go apeshít on tubs. Karate kick him into the head by accident or something!

Tony Blair is a master of using his emotions to convey sincerity and empathy. A lot of sales / persuasion books would tell you that you to bring people with you need ..... Empathy + Sincerity = Persuasion .. similar to Bertie, who used his emotions in the Dobson interview to bring people back on his side... People will not believe you unless you are passionate about what you are speaking about..
Which is the reason that Gordon Brown and Brian Cowan will never bring the people with them....

Kiwi_knock · 03-09-2010 10:19pm

I thinks Tubs knew he did not have that much time with Blair so he hurried through his questions. He asked three questions when only one was needed. He should have calmed down and asked one question and let Blair talk instead of butting in with another question and not fully challenging Blair at all. It was not a good interview but I can not think of an Irish presenter who could have done much better than Tubs.

well it's better than the "razor blade section" the plank had on as the last segment on every show when he was presenting it,resulting in me looking for only fools and horses or something good hearted to watch before I went to bed :_

In fairness he was probably just fooking sick of the ridiculous repeated questions and constant interuption so at that stage wanted to go.

Tubs has some neck asking everyone about their drinking habits and making snide innuendo with it. The lad is fond of a few pints himself so I just dont know where he is trying to go with it.

I think that Cherie let the cat out of the bag with that one. It would be hard for a former British Prime Minister to explain how his kids have passports of a foreign country.

Furrowing your brow, putting on a pained expression, interrupting someone and asking some stupid question? Tubs can do that very well.

Kenny or Richard Crowley would be good. What a wasted opportunity, how often are we going to see an Irish person get to interview Blair.

JonathanAnon · 03-09-2010 10:22pm

(good thread so far lads, enjoying the contributions)..

By the way, Pat Kenny said today that he is recording an interview with Blair which will be on the radio show next week... Will be a good opportunity to compare a seasoned pro against a great pretender... Think it's gonna be on Monday..

He asked about the drinking because Blair mentions that he was drinking too much in his book.

In fairness i think tony blair is one of the good guys he should get great credit for what he did for NI etc. He was bullied into the iraq war by the Americans

No it wouldn't. The oil wells aren't in the cities. And the only precious resources Afghanistan has is being shot up the arms of the poor bastards in this country!

Absolutely. A fine interview. IMO far better and less 'staged' than Andrew Marr's.

He has never done a good interview with a politician.

Rubbish! It's not a politics show. It's meant to be light entertainment. Look at the two clowns on now if you don't believe me.:rolleyes:

apart from the new-age "really, this book is a journey" crap, TB comes across pretty well. Not too polished. Gave the impression of engaging with the questions (crap, really crap questions that they were) and seemed able to take care of himself.
