Shane Coleman must be the happiest man in Ireland at the moment. I haven't listened to the programme for months because of Williams. I hope they don't replace him with another obnoxious loudmouth.

Peter Casey,...you heard it here first:D:D:D

Every time I turn on newstalk they are either on an ad break, going to an ad break, coming back from an ad break or talking about what's coming up later in the show!

Last night he came back from an ad break and told us what was coming up after the break, before going to an ad break about 5 minutes before the news.


Needless to say he came back from the ad break (the 2nd one) spoke for about 2 seconds and went into the news headlines.

It'll be a woman of the very PC/feminist type. Ciara Kelly maybe :eek:

They've tried stroppy women in the morning before. It hasn't worked out well.

Yeah. Bring back Norah Casey (said no one ever)

Wouldn't mind a Colette Fitzpatrick return. I really miss her biting wit, sense of humour and easy going nature.

PC is becoming trendy.


Won't be long now.

Coleman is very condescending. I'm no fan of Alan Quinlan but Coleman is constantly on his heels. Its like he's trying to lead him through the sports news because he thinks Quinlan doesn't know enough about it or he's too slow for Coleman's liking..

He'd be right on both counts. Quinlan is atrocious on anything other than rugby Munster Rugby.

A few weeks ago for one of the European weekends he predicted all 4 Irish Provinces would win. 1 of the 4 did (Leinster lost narrowly and unexpectedly); but at best we were looking at 2 from 4 with Ulster and Connacht away. How he thought Ulster would win in Paris when they were playing like sh*t is beyond me.

Bring back Ivan to the morning slot! Nice to get a bit of light hearted banter in the morning instead of Coleman/Williams bickering.

Lol.

Not a chance he'd be getting up that early. By many accounts he barely made it in on time when he was doing it previously, skipping production/pre-show meetings and winging it.

Hearing him wind Coleman up would be funny though. He's basically just a much smarter version of Williams if you think about it.

Ah I like him, he doesn’t take himself seriously and regularly says ‘I know you’ll all start texting I’m a snowflake’

I really need to consider a new username, only picked this as I was in a room with 7 pc’s. I’m not some trendy pc person, I skirt the dark side

I'm surprised at that as he espouses what seems to be the most hated trait around here, a leftie PC leaning, more so than most other Newstalk presenters.

meeeeh

Cuddihy is good but I think he is a bit too similar to Coleman for programme to work. I find Andrea Gilligan a bit too wooden but she would be better for the programme.

Is Dil available?

I have no problem with PC given what the anti PC has thrown up.


Williams was as PC as the next guy,he just went on about ****ing "snowflakes".

Nor I, but this forum in general has a large vocal resistance to it. Cuddihy would be at the receiving end of it before his first show is out.

I nearly choked on me coddle after reading this. This has really made my day. I will be turning back the dial again back to Newstalk in the mornings. I have not listened since he was on.
Good riddance to the idiot.
Time to crack open a beer to celebrate

I have to say I like NT. I know it ain't perfect but at least it is not RTEireann.

I think Ciara Kelly would shake them all up. Ha fecking ha. But you'd never know.

At least we can talk about some other station now. Maybe Niall Boylan could be enticed with bobs to help out with his straight talking. Now that would be a miracle!

Did I hear a dig from Pat at the end of the show today as well? Something about the highlight of the show being him saying goodbye? I was only half listening so could have picked it up wrong.

Yeah there was definitely something, didn't catch it properly but he definitely muttered something smart, can't even remember what he said, but thought to myself that was odd thing to say.

Also, please don't give it to Susan Keogh.

Shane beatty, formerly kfm, has just joined newstalk. Wonder if he was signed up to replace someobe long term. Maybe that time is now

No source. Just heard him reporting about the school closures and was wondering if he could be in the running. Aparently was well respected on kfm. Came accross well when he was on with vincent browne on tv3.

If it was NIall Boylan I might start listening to Newstalk. Or give Hook a go.

Maybe they'll bring in Susan Keogh? She ticks a lot of boxes. She's female, has presented The Last Word and is a feminist, right on PC Liberal type. And she moved across from Today FM not all that long ago..

Susan would be a good shout. Enjoyed listening when she took over the last word.

Richard Hillman

Fantastic news. It will be definitely a woman that replaces him but they must trawl through the media classes to find somebody remotely right wing. Hard to find, I know but the show needs a Ying and Yang to work

Dil Vikramywhatever and Georrrrge Hook to begin new breakfast show on Monday morning.

Great news. Might turn the dial back now. Wouldn’t be devastated if Coleman goes but wonder would he be better with someone else beside instead of Williams.
Wonder is Vincent Wall ever considered, always found him easy to listen to for the business segment.

How about Vincent Browne

Good idea actually. Everytime there was a terrorist incident she could phone her mum who could tell us about her lucky escape from the terrorists as she had once visited the site of the attack a mere 27 years previously.

And Katherine herself could tell us first hand every day about whatvits like being the first woman in history to give birth to a child.....

I'd hardly call paul right wing, too be honest if you asked him which side of the spectrum he was on he would probably give you a completely different answer depending on the day and who he had talked to just before you.

His views on most things while sometimes aligned with right wing conservative ideology are more based more on his own idiocy and ignorance than any real political views.

Both very well behaved today.

Flogging a non idea that broadband is maybe not really needed in rural areas - every text in to show going against this. Great money spinner at 30c a go.

Williams giving his own obituary now.

Williams just announced he’s amongst other things going to do a Doctorate.....well that’s going to devalue doctorates overnight.
