All the Northern Ireland Boxers always fought for Ireland, regardless of creed or belief.

Either way, he was always a great fighter and a great ambassador for Ireland and Boxing.

True Skid, but he wasn't a Northern Ireland boxer, as such.
Anyway, it's something that used to annoy me a bit at the time. We didn't have too many sports stars down here back then. Britain had plenty of them. I would have preferred if he'd nailed his colours to the Republic of Ireland mast, instead of being ambivalent about it.

Fair point, Harry. I don't really agree with you to be honest but I know what you mean.

He made me pretty ashamed to be Irish when he refused to shake Steve Cruz's hand after the match in Las Vegas in 1986. I was at that match and we were mortified when he rebuffed the outstretched sporting hand of Cruz. We shook the hands of all the Cruz team afterwards and they were very appreciative of us (who in fairness had spent a lot of money to go to that match).

Then he began whinging which lasted for an awful long time.

I lost the "luv" for Barry after that evening.

If I hear one more version of Danny Boy, I'll throw my radio out the window.

Mooney: "Oh I remember Fernando...heh heh heh!!!"
Loves the oul gay double entendre:rolleyes:

SEPT 23 1989

ranting and raving again:rolleyes:

Let's hope ABBA aren't going to release a history of the band because Paul G(I think) fecked that idea.

Eanna was restricted because they listen to the mooney show over there as well , her reputation preceded her

Again, Derek begins by pontificating about something he has no experience with, i.e. getting kids to fall asleep.

IvyTheTerrible

I'd sing the telephone directory if it helped my baby sleep! Such a non-topic!

Harry Angstrom

If they want to get their kids to sleep, just play back The Mooney Show to them.

IvyTheTerrible

Ah, the campaign to get another RTE employee's child employed by the station is launched. :rolleyes:

oh. sweet. jesus.

constitutionus

ah This take me back.

the ma lulling me to sleep with "smack my bitch up".

those were the days.

My kids love Queen (We Will Rock You a big favourite) and Meat Loaf (though repeated exposure!) but we do play some pop stuff too in the car. When on the bike with my youngest, she sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a loop. Bedtime consists of stories, not songs

My 21 month old likes any lively music, including rock and traditional music.
We don't sing at bedtime either, it doesn't calm him down!

I don't even bother listening anymore. Usually Mooneys gay agenda or yer one from Kildare screeching about something or the Friday a holes pontificating.
I had to give up....:mad:

It's car crash radio. The cringe factor is off the scale.

This lad currently on about Holst's the Planets is talking to Derek about the magic of Uranus, .... I have no words
Actually he is pretty interesting to be fair :-)
Holst's planets fella I mean, not Derek

IvyTheTerrible

Will Derek have the gumption to ask this chancer why he's on about debt recovery when he was around in the height of the boom encouraging people to buy, even apartments in the Cape Verde islands!

Economists, so-called "financial experts" and the media seem to have very short memories.

In fairness, Eddie was one of the very few who foresaw the crash and I remember him warning us about the level of debt and how unsustainable it was.

Ya after he made a fortune flogging apartments, he wrote book telling the same people it was only all a big bubble!

My heart bleeds for all these luvvies who are "between roles". If you want a steady job, get a steady job. End of.

Oops69

Of course Derek wasnst arsed to do a report for rte news over the weekend even though he's Been in Scotland all weekend , I know he's not a reporter but were paying him enough !

Oops69

At least know it all isn't on , giving his amateur crash test investigators opinion.

In fairness he covered the story with sensitivity on his own show today. Mooney is not a news reporter.

RTE already had 2 fully qualified news reporters covering the story in Glasgow over the weekend.

It would have looked odd if Mooney was filling reports too just because he happened to be in town that weekend. Unless he was on the scene when the incident occured, it would be inappropriate for someone better known for gameshows and light radio to cover such a tragic story.

If a similar incident occured in Dublin would we still expect him to cover the story or a journalist whose paid job it is to do so?

Mary Byrne again. It must be all of 5 minutes since she was last on The Mooney Show :rolleyes:

She's nothing more than a pub singer but neither she nor Mooney seem to realise this.

Children's books, AND a detective novel.

I'd imagine that there are plenty of genuine writers who would kill to get that sort of publicity.

Harry Angstrom

She's a philosopher and theologian now as well :rolleyes:

Her father was a handsome man and her mother was a beaut

They get it a few days before Christmas on Liveline when they all get to plug their vanity published drivel.

She reminds me of the girls that used to sit and the back of the school bus and "sing" along to songs on the radio. But actually it was just showy-off shouting. THEY thought they were great though.

Mayerdy Button yet again.
Those goons from Lucan should be back on soon too I'd say.
