Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v2.0

JonathanAnon

Can you just pass along the papers there....lol.. two of them crouched over one paper like the picture round at a table quiz....

JonathanAnon

Vincent making a lot of mistakes again tonight.. Again I think things run a lot more smoothly with Ivan Yates steering the ship..

Didn't see Yates... he couldn't have been as polished as Ganley surely?

Yates was much better than Ganley.

He is a natural at this, and Vincent should raise his game before TV3 give Ivan the gig full time.

Ganley was good too.. But Yates, after a few days getting the hang of the autocue, was better than Ganley imo...

Vincent is shown up as being slow, stuttering... deliver is clunky and doesnt flow... he has a tendency to be very petty and to go off on complete tangents... And on a show where you are only 90 seconds away from the next break, that's a serious inhibition to getting clear and relevant answers from your guests...

But the pestering and the hectoring of politicians and the absolute refusal to take anything other then a contrary view of any issue... he has skills that no other presenter has IMO.

I'd take that over smooth delivery any day of the week.

Are you a tv critic?

VB says about ten words on the autocue, it's not as if the programme uses it frequently. So what if he's not "fluent" on it.

VB is letting the guests discuss the matter. Very interesting tonight. The priest is deluded again.

JonathanAnon

That priest is probably the worst representative the Church could have possibly sent up to TV3 studios.... The arrogance, piety and complete denial... He represents everything that was/is wrong with the Church..

Fair play to Fine Gael on standing up to them...

It's not specifically with the autocue I'm talking about .. it's more his very slow delivery of the questions.. with loads of "eh.. emm.. ehh.. eemm" .. in the same way that Dara O'Briain does.. like I said, the thing flows better and has more immediacy with Yates or Ganely hosting..

Very interesting tonight. The priest is deluded again.

Hey, we finally agree on something.. I'm gonna print this out and frame it..

Finally a minister not clouded by their own religion in this matter.

That will-you-pass-the-Newspapers-to-each-other business is very clunky.

They should go to the break and then distribute the papers to the guests before they come back.

But Shatter is Jewish.. not Catholic..

It's simple when you think about it really.. lol

Obfuscation and smoke and mirrors from that cleric. Fair dues to Shatter - but they still don't seem to get it - its about CHILD protection. Mandatory reporting can't come soon enough to end the depradations of them b a s t d s. :mad: Our kids are entitled to the protection of the law - bring it on I say.

/Wonders if Brian Cowen retirement had anything to with the drop in sales.

The point is that he's not Catholic, hence he's not biased, the way previous ministers were. See Michael Woods, the 2002 deal.

That's the whole point, Jon.

He is not in awe of the Bishops, as he practices a different religion.

Although to be fair, Enda Kenny tore strips off the Vatican in his Dail speech - more than any Western leader, Catholic or otherwise, has ever done.

What the servants of the church did was terrible, but did you know that the same abuse happens in the home and happens there to a much higher extent as well. What amazes me is, why no big fuss in the media about this? is it because there's no money out of it? or is the story too near the bone for the people, the journalists, the media to cover? Very strange when you think of it. Bash the church, but what about guardians and parents? I'd love to see the papers, tv, radio, etc, take this one up, give it the same coverage as the church scandals. Vincent might do it.
We're a dirty old nation in what we do to our vulnerable people, a very scary race. What the hell are we "really" thought of abroad? People might feel scared of us around children when they find out we're Irish and by god, we're not helping ourselves, that's for sure.

A pity he couldn't back it up with facts when he was asked. Of course some clergy did terrible things, not all of them though. Let's see what exactly our politicians will really do, really really do.

A blowbag riding the wave that was already crashing down on the church.
You'd swear the way some people were talking about him that he was some sort of sole crusader.
As headmaster said, let's see what he has got beyond words.

The Catholic Church is a large institution that engaged in the act of covering up the abuse of children, they covered it up. So even if it was only a minority invovled in the abuse itself, a good lot were involved in the cover up. A shameful and disgraceful act from an institution that frequently makes statements on the way people should run their lives, in particular their sex lives.

Do you not see the significance of it?

Just watched last nights prog on web and I now understand why the RC is so petrified of women .... Marie Collins made minced meat out of that gobsh1te masquerading as a MORAL theologian.

Alan Shatter was very impressive too

JonathanAnon

Jaysus had to do some diggin to find this thread again...

Good show tonight.. very surprised that the Fianna Fáilers let Vincent in to question them.. just goes to show how much trouble they are in, that they have nothing to lose by letting Vincent Browne question them..

ah there's Averidill.

She's doing a Sharon Stone job on Vincent.

Welcome to 'Defending the Indefensible', with Averidill and Friends

MrThrifty

Off topic, but Vincent isn't looking too well healthwise... Is this connected with the fact that his show was being presented by various people over the past few weeks/months?

Lady Chatterton

Oh look, it's Timmy Dolittle!




Sorry, I mean Timmy Dooley.

What's a "rekanittion" ?

Michael is grasping at straws there going on about palestine. FF are finished..

Big Smiley Head on Vincent there when he was talking about Micheal Martin in 'The Convalescent Ward'

He liked his own joke, liked it a lot

I'm wondering if Vinny has any mirrors at home.

He has one on the ceiling of his bedroom for when Cassie calls round..

Liam Byrne

Loads of twisting from the new recruits and Micheál Martin is now contradicting the OECD.....

Do these guys go on a special FF course on how to lie and deflect with a straight face ?

"Some things change, some stay the same....."

JonathanAnon

He calls FG cynical.. This is the man who's been blaming FG for not being able to clean up the mess him and his party caused.. Used to have a lot of respect for Michael Martin, but I really despise his cynical party political games... He doesnt seem to give a sh1t about the country, just the survival of FF..

You could see that answer from a mile off.

Hmm a new Palestine state. I wonder will they enter the Eurovision?

JonathanAnon

It really is unbelievable that they cant collate the information on teacher qualifications.. If that was a private company, one person at each office (or school) would be designated the task of filling out an Excel spreadsheet with the teacher names and qualifications.. then email it to the head office... who could create a database with the info...

Could be done in a day if the will was there..

Sir Oxman

It was refreshing to hear the 'young guns' of New FF basically boasting about the huge and disastrous spending spree over the past ten years as if that was some national achievement - SW tripled, benchmarking, crazy PS pension schemes etc etc. rather than what it was - splurging the country's future on FF's only rasion d'etre - to hold onto power no matter the cost.

That few minutes last night should be final proof to any doubters that FF will NEVER change no matter that they wheel out their 'young' guns - young guns who are now pleading ignorance of what their party did pre-2007..IT WASN'T ME SIR!

VB looked a bit peaky last night, breathing the same air as those utter wasters probably got to the poor guy.

Callan57

Averil Power ... whiney, whiney voice drives me mad
:eek:

jmcc

Why does Micheal Martin seem like a rat whose cheese has been moved (look at the hand movements). I thought FF had media trainers.

Peter Browne was talking about this last week.. he said that he thinks the Greeks will try to get as much as they can in handouts and then say to the ECB ... "fuk this for a game of soldiers", we're defaulting anyway... This would then lead to a serious problem for one or two of the French banks...

He envisaged that Nicholas Sarkozy may be faced with the same situation that Brian Lenihan was with Anglo in September 2008.. He said it should be interesting to see what Sarkozy (who has been telling us that we we can't burn the bondholders in our private banks) will do when he is in this situation..
