1983 is 25/26 years ago.
When he was corrected he ignored it.
Bet he can count to 500k though.

Even with that, he's Einstein compared to Joe Duffy at de auld Matty Matticks.

Let's not be coy here. The Guard was the greatest load of cliché Paddywhackery I've ever seen. If Brendan Gleeson had not been in it, it would have got the reviews it deserved.

He'd be fairly quick to jump on a guest if they made that mistake.

If the sacred cow wasn't in it, it would have bombed.

Just listened back to the interview with Roland. it is utterly appalling stuff from Ray.

sligojoek

Not this "Great stretch in the evening" sh1te again

sligojoek

"What's wrong with that poor woman?"

If a white man said that about a black woman, would he be so sympathetic?

Did I hear Ray just say that his school nickname used to be 'Rainy D'Arcy'!

Well, at least he told it against himself

Brainy Darcy surely!

The topics of concersation seem to be motivated by the newspapers. By 3pm this mornings news paper is ready for chips. All the topics have been done to death throughout the day. So often I noticed before Christmas that his topics were the same as what Ian Dempsey had covered or Dermot and dave. Is there no researching being done for different content?

BarryD2

Yer one there on now, who rudely went on Newstalk to rant about George Hook and then flounced off.

jeremyj1968

Every time he mentions the name of a song he mentions Spotify. He gives them more promotion than Kathryn Thomas gives the insurance company.

jeremyj1968

Absolute contempt for the Nuacht team again. As if they were interrupting his monumental interviewing. He never seems to have any problem breaking for the ads seeing as how they shovel 400K in to his bank account.

sligojoek

True but for once I'll go against the grain here and say I was enjoying the interview with FF. Beats Lorraine Keane telling us how much her and her father enjoy buying and doing up houses. That one went on till 4.06.

sligojoek

Just heard him there telling the band to get a move on because "Mary Wilson is on the way". Funny how that never bothers him when Nuacht is on the way. Mary would tear strips off him. I wouldn't care to get on the wrong side of her.

A couple of weeks ago on either the Saturday or Sunday sports programme they went over for the Nuacht a few minutes after four. As it turned out Máire de Bhailís was not there so it was broadcast a good bit later. I made a mental note to check the time of the Nuacht at the weekends in connection with the discussion here, but I never got round to it since.

It could be that the Nuacht is not set to appear at the top of the hour, maybe because it is also late at noon because of the Angelus. So D'arcy may just be following the set schedule. It would be unforgivable if he deliberately delayed it every single day, and I cannot see how he could get away with it.

In general RTE radio is a bit loose with News times. I am usually listening at 11 am and it can be up to a couple of minutes late. BBC Radio 2 is sometimes a bit off as well, but Radio 4 is always precise to the second.

I would t read that much into it Hound.

Like news programmes are very tight on time and running order,and issues.

If an interviewer has a guest and is only getting to the nub of things then they will delay the news a bit, but advise listeners.

D’Arcys show has nothing like those issues so no reason to deviate from the allotted news times.

It’s ©️ hairdresser radio after all


Hahahahahhahahhahahahah

Tuned in today.. "we had 6 kids which is unusual in Texas..." actually it's not that mad I come from a family of 9"
"it's unusual in Texas from one man"

"yeah"

sligojoek

"I love the mixture of your Texas drawl and Irish brogue"

There wasn't even a hint of an Irish accent there.

Reminded me of Brendan O Connor alking about Maura Derrane's "Connemara brogue" and her talking with a D4 accent.

Yeah, there seems to be a reverence for Mary Wilson that is not afforded to the Nuacht team. Funny to think that a social justice warrior like Ray, who would moralise to us all about the equal treatment of our fellow man, should actually observe his own class system in the way that he treats his colleagues.

Mary Wilson = RTE Royalty, like Joe Duffy and Ryan Tubridy - to be treated like gods.
Nuacht Newsreader = The plebs - To be treated like the sh1t one gathers one one's runner during a run across The Curragh.

dxhound2005

The Plebs got their Nuacht today Saturday at 4:09. There was no reason to delay it, if it was supposed to be at 4.

I think it is safe to say that it is not set for 4 o'clock with or without D'Arcy directing affairs.
