Even Tom Crean wud be welcome after that pointless drivel

Lapin

Pringle bringing everything back to his grief while asking the victims families to forgive and forget.

There aren't many people I'd like to punch in the face but he's up there.

ButtersSuki

45mins down, on the home stretch now Joseph. Bit of coddle talk from some salt a dee earths and he'll struggle to contain himself.


Ah fook off, Colm Murray love fest again. This has been the only thing on Radio 1 today.........apart from the other things of course.

Are you talking about Joe or Peter Pringle?

JM Skipton

Have to say if you were forced to choose a disease, MN would be the last one you would pick, an horrific disease

ive a great deal of respect for how he handled his illness and highlighted it publically.

but yeah soon as i heard he died i knew RTE couldnt help going into kneejerk mode.

its sad but it not like obama got shot or something.

Despite such a depressing show, I'll bet Joe will still get in a plug for unFunny Friday before 3 o'clock.

Come to think of it.....how appropriate if he does!

constitutionus

eh wot ?

most people i KNOW are amiable and fun. in fact its kinda a cultural sterotype that the irish can take and give a slagging.

montrose must be full of pricks if guys like colm are that short on the ground there

JonathanAnon

Cathal Murray is related to Colm Murray.. It sort of makes sense when you listen to the voice... (and take in to account the way things usually work in RTE).

Yakuza

Oh - I didn't know Cathal Murray was a relative of Colm - some proof that soundness is genetic!

ButtersSuki

Random encounters with RTE personnel. Every time someone in RTE dies we get this stuff. People who met the deceased ONCE get their 15 mins (usually literally on Lahv Lahn) on the National airwaves to eulogise someone they didn't actually know.

2 ad breaks in less than 3 minutes. Earning your money today Joe.

Just when we thought this topic was gone away..............

JM Skipton

This is too depressing, I'm off to catch up on my Colm Hayes podcasts!!!!!!

Dan Jaman

I think I need counselling after listening to this show.

JonathanAnon

Joe gently directs the caller away from being critical of the convicted woman.

I won't go on

Dan Jaman

Jeez, nipple clamps? Bring on the Brillos with batteries.

I thought the interview with Pringle about the problems of those who were convicited for murdering Garda Morley and Byrne very unbalanced.

No indication of contrition for that crime, no sympathy with the families of those two Gardai

Lapin

Well said this caller.

A classic Lahv Lahn one-sided feature then.

JM Skipton

Peter Pringle once he pops he cant stop

Why do people feel compelled to say the stupidest things when someone dies....."He will come back as a horse......" FFS

A lot of people are embarrassed by death and don't know what to say. But they feel they have to say something so basically they say lots of things without really thinking about it.

In saying that, that sort of comment is vintage Jimmy.

"That's right Joe, actually he's here now....hang on and I'll put him on to you"

this being ireland of course, thatll be in a lasagna

ButtersSuki

Am I alone in here today?

The more I listen to Joe the more I'm convinced Armando Ianucci and Steve Coogan based the Alan Partridge character on him.......except you obviously have to swap a Travellodge for Castle Duffy

sudzs

Looks like it's mental misery today...

Get to the point missus.
