    He seems to be popular when he fills in for Ray Darcy

    No.
    I was feeling optimistic after listening to the interview with Eddie O'Connor on The Sunday Business Show, so I decided to turn off after that as I couldn't face another trawl through the papers for the most depressing stories you can find :)
    I like Anton when he stands in for Ray D'Arcy and sometimes when he stands in for Matt Cooper but most of the time I find him trying a bit too hard to be a serious reporter when he speaks over the guests and keeps pushing them to answer pointless questions.

    I really couldn't give a monkeys. Who his parents are does not make him a better or worse broadcaster.

    Whatever about that fairly dismal episode I just find Savage utterly uncompelling (is that even a word?) he has absolutely no gravitas which I like in a current affairs presenter so even if I disagree with their views (hello Tom McGurk) I can still be engaged by what's being said.

    Too many offensively inoffensive milk sops on the radio.

    I agree - he has no depth and resembles a cardboard cut out of a reporter.
    That toothy smile and his love ins with Matt Cooper are stomach churning.
    He Makes Matt look like a heavyweight, and that takes some doing.
    Both of them have some talent, but they have mistaken that for a lot of talent and as a consequence have ignored adding to the depth , breadth and substance of their knowledge.
    This makes them particularly embarassing when interviewing overseas guests.
    Our homegrown gobsh*tes rarely expose their limitations.

    The thread topic refers to the Savage on Sunday show. You are free to express opinion as to the show or the show's contents.

    Please refrain from posting off topic. That includes matters unrelated to the show whether they refer to a presenter of that show or not.

    I have already referred such posting to the legals of boards.ie and that is their position.

    Susan Lanigan - this is not the first time you've raised such matters on this forum and hence you should know better. Do not persist. This is not the forum for what you wish to say. There will be no further warnings.

    Others - the problem with such matters is that people will post information which if can be verified and is on topic is fine (as some of the previous postings may have been), but then stray into heresay, throw away comment, creative writing, and speculation, all of which causes problems not for the poster but for the publisher. While I appreciate the desire to have a natter about such matters as had previously been posted on thread, here is not the place for it.

    This decision is final and should be considered direction to all posters.

    Thank you.
