Not a bad show to be fair, I found it a lot better than last week's episode.

Ryhs Ifans was funny enough though.

Prize money of €10,000. They make a minimum of €70000 with all the gobshi*tes that text and fone in.

Yes in Gay's time it was an actual prize which meant something and not a profit gathering excercise. Remember the massive postcard box he used to sieve through for a winner.

Gay was fairly patronising to be honest. Did you ever here him talking to Rory Gallagher? Like the man was a daft child.

I wonder does he ever ride the harley U2 gave him? I think not.
Dust collecter, if ever there was one.

I will be really upset if after all the crap FF have put us through, one of their gang becomes President. The complete opposite of what we need right now. I don't care how nice he is.

I agree - this thread is more entertaining than the amount of s***e on the show!!

I think it will take more than a wheelchair and a "but we did a lot of good things as well" attitude to get him elected... and I dont mean to be cruel on that.. I'm sure he does get a lot of sympathy votes, similar to the way that Brian Lenihan gets a lot of leniency because of his illness... I dont wish either of the them their ails, but it is a significant point for both of them...

It's simple though, whoever is the FF candidate for the presidency will NOT get elected, they will feel the backlash of the electorate..

The scary thing is that according to recent polls, a quarter of the population would still vote FF.

Now that's mind-boggling!

The place has gone to ****! What would Enda Kenny do in a time like this?

Bags have been 25 cent for ages, fat use!

Oh God! I'm going to Sydney with my finest GAA jersey!

That's not saying much in fairness. I thought it was just as bad TBH. I'm sick to death of all the sad stories every week. If the line-up next week is no better think I'll give it a miss and find something better to do my time... like scrubbing the loo. Couldn't be any worse than the sh*te served up tonight :rolleyes:

G'night all.

Eh just kidding, my toilet is always spotless

It's probably because they don't have much confidence in the current government and that in turn doesn't leave them to believe that there is a better solution to the problem and if another party was elected they would probably make it worse rather than better!!

Agree with your post; but if the current route the government is following is continued with, there probably won't even be a presidential election.
The country will collapse.

But we have to ask ourselves, in a show that is 2 hrs 10 mins long, what do we want from it? Surely the entire show can't be just "light entertainment", there is room for more serious subjects too.

Flimbos

Bit of a mixed bag tonight as usual. Hector, followed by a bit of music that in DLB's own words "put us in good form", at which point I said to the girlfriend, "he'll follow this up with some fella with cancer"....

And out walks Liam Hayes...

At least this week there was a side show at the beginning, in the form of song and dance. We got our moneys worth there, did we not?

And find a man! I'm in a dry spell (no sniggering there in the back row ) and the talent around here is sh*te.

Here is our next President



No it's not Bertie! It's the head of the IMF! Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

Yes there is 'room for serious subjects' but one's of a constructive nature and not all doom and gloom!

Agree, but God now more than ever we need something light!
Serious subjects tend to dominate the show and its something Ryan isin't capable of doing well. I think we hear enough daily nightmares at work and during the week generally, Friday is about switching off.
The light entertainment they offer is pathetic

That was a dreadful interview by Brian Crowley.

He's talking off the record about going for the presidency for years.

If he wasn't going to announce his candidacy, and why he should be elected, he shouldn't have been on the show.

He was so dull and uninspiring - he came across like Eoin McLove from Father Ted,

Actual well thought-out 'entertainment' and less of Tubridy's Fianna Fail bias would probably do the trick.
RTE is supposed to be the national broadcaster, right? For all the people of this country? Not the broadcaster of a certain party and the sitting government?
People, as far as i'm aware, don't expect anything too extraordinary; just a little bit of inspiration and some impartiality.

Hey, read back this thread. Seemingly you can't be saying this type of thing about people in wheelchairs. No criticisms allowed.

He has a private life that would put even Bertie to shame...

They need to reduced the length of the show so. 2 hours and 15 minutes is way too long.

You may actually have done. The IMF are hucksters in better suits. If we keep doing what we're doing, the best case scenario for us is that these thiefs will be here to rob what little we have left, with our own consent.

If they were capable of judging the peaks and troughs of people's attention over that period of time, and had guests that were interesting enough to excite people's imaginations, they could easily fill 2.25 hours.... A really depressing story and a FF broadcast does not constitute an interesting, imagination exciting period of time.

I'd a few drinks last night so didn't think I should post for obvious reasons

I don't like Catherine Lynch - however I thought when she went over to DLB he should have handled that whole situation a lot better - he should have interviewed her for 5 - 7 minutes - this is the second time recently it has become apparent that he can't deal with "the unexpected" (the other week was Barry Humphries).

Hector - not my cup of tea.

I like Carol Vorderman - but she's more an afternoon show guest.

Rugby guy and MEP fella - don't know them but found him interesting in parts.

Did I miss the "panel debate" last night.

Brendan O'Connor's show is much better imo
