It was a very awkward interview.

Did they make Ciara Kelly talk to someone about it too?

BREAKING NEWS:
Football manager and player have a disagreement at a major tournament.. Player walks out in a sulk.

This all happened 18 years ago. Only in Ireland would this still be news. What are we like?

But the pitch was like a car park at the end of the day etc etc.

Feck all to talk about now except covid19 - judges and covid19, RTE and covid19, Sinn Fein and covid19, Fine Gael and covid19 etc

At the time Roy Keane was one of the few live internationally known symbols of Ireland after U2 in fairness.

Tell me how

Well, America is insistent that the views and awareness of the world by a few men at a time before the Industrial revolution and when the countries population was 1% of what it is today is a sufficient way to prepare to govern the country.
And the UK recently expressed a desire to turn the clock back 40 odd years in terms of their engagement with the world.

At least all we're doing is having a chat about times past.

Couldn't understand it myself. What was the occasion? I was heading home this evening and they even had the 'kit lad' from the U21 team talking about it.
Why?

Was he on to talk about Saipan? Or the passing of Maurice Setters, Charltons assistant.

Didn't hear the piece but as Setters passed away today, maybe he was being discussed.

It was voted one of the 20 most important events in Irish history last 20 years in some poll or other.

Just saw that now on 6.1. Both gone this year. I don't think we'll see the likes again from the Irish soccer team.

We're a crackpot country ...always wallowing in the past and not only that but with a narrow view of that past thanks to the twisted 'republican' version of history pumped into so many youngsters in school.
Ironically there's a proverb in Gaelic which goes 'Is fearr féachaint amháin romhat ná dhá fhéachaint id' dhiaidh'...better one look ahead than two looks behind.
Good advice there I reckon.

Felt like Pat didn't have much faith in David McWilliams and his leprechaun economics today, it didn't feel like he was sold on the how feasible it is.

Saipan yesterday, it is 9/11 today it seems

it wasnt that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things , Roy Keane rows with his own mirror first thing every morning

Is Newstalk 20 years old?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really not in the mood to reminisce about September 11th at the moment.

Odd decision by Newstalk.

They were 18 in April 2002 so we have to suffer/enjoy it in two years.

According to Newstalk this thing they have on now is simply "The 20 most official moments of the last 20 years" - as chosen by listeners.

https://www.newstalk.com/podcasts/highlights-from-newstalk-breakfast/the-20-most-influential-moments-of-the-last-20-years-4

It will go on for four weeks.

It seems to be just filler as little is happening in the world/nationally due to covid19 and it will fill the time until Christmas.

That's actually not such a bad idea is it?

Yeah but borrowing a page from your train of thought for once. Given covid19 etc wouldn't it be better to pick nice and uplifting moments top 20?

I will never understand why this country is so obsessed with Saipan. Even a musical!

It makes me cringe every time I hear it being talked about again, and again, and again.

Pat just read out a text along the following lines which tells a lot about both the listener and Pat:

"Walking along the sea front this cold morning there was lots of child minders and joggers around. It was amazing to see the amount of vapour coming from these joggers and child minders".


The premise was the spread of Covid from somebodys breath.

Now I know Pat wanted to ban jogging in March and April, now it seems his listeners are going after childminders for some strange reason.

Why do you even listen to Pat Kenny. You seem to despise him.

I've said before I think some people don't realise that the texts he reads out aren't his own opinion, he reads out all sides of an argument. What reflection does the that text he read out have on him?

Morathi

He rarely responds to them either, he just reads them and let's people make their own decision, which I like. Yates did it as well, and even Hook. From what I've heard, Yates' replacement does as well.

It's in stark contrast to Moncrieff, who responds to every message.

Or perhaps it was an amazed comment on the actual observable visual spectacle of how much breath the average person expels? Which wouldn't have been observable in any other context.

So, rather than "ban joggers", maybe it was "wow, look how much/how far breath can go; probably a good idea after all to distance indoors and wear a mask, eh?"

My point was really why the texter emphasised child minders.

Not sure I'd read too much into it. Unless it was a class-based comment about 'the help' using the seafront!

But how does it reflect on Pat when all he did was read out the text?

Isn't that a question for the texter?

Only a guess but maybe the texter was referring to the children not wearing masks rather than the actual minders and either Pat or the texter phrased it badly.

Moncrieff can be a oh-so-woke smarmy condescending old git at times when a txter holds a contrary view to himself imv

Not to take away from an important issue, but between Pat and his two guests, this discussion on climate change sounds soooo middle class, first world problems.

And one of the first pieces he has on is about the justice system being too tough on people from disadvantaged backgrounds. At least he's predictable
