    I'm not Rays biggest fan but Jesus Christ it's like everyone here is only hoping he f**ks up. First LIVE transmission from this studio then. Give him a little slack, a week, two weeks then you can use your best keyboard warrior skills.

    So today is the first second time he's cocked up on radio ? The guy has form, he would have been walked through the console and studio numerous times.

    Imagine if the soup had been a euro. He's have been lost for a cracker of an anecdote to kick off with.

    10 minutes in and talking about... 1 cent and 2 cent coins. How riveting.

    Miscuing the first song too, he's beyond parody at this stage.

    Walked through? Black boards grinds and tutorials more like it.

    I'm just saying it doesn't matter what sort of equipment it is, be it a cash register that your used to and you go to another job where you use a different cash register there's gonna be cock ups.

    And after having used said equipment after over 15 years you think he'd know it by now.

    I'm sure it's different equipment. Have you ever been in a radio studio? They're not all the same you know.

    Yes quite a few actually and the software used in most is the same with most music/packages etc all pre loaded and ready to go.

    A mixer is a mixer, its fader up and fader down..................

    This guy used the same one in Today Fm for years and still couldn't use it when he finished. Sorry but if you're on that level of pay you can at least spend some of those 105 meetings learning to use the basic equipment.

    This isn't Ray Darcy. It's Oliver Callan, doing a big p*ss-take. It must be.

    It's the bally ballyness of it that makes it all seem so bally bally.

    I've just banned three people for trying to be funny with a "Hi Presenter" post; next one will have a week to ponder how funny their post really was...

    As I said I'm not Rays biggest fan myself, I find I either have to be in the mood to listen to him or I'll turn him off after a few minutes. First day in a new job, new equipment, nerves, huge expectations...if he's still messing up after a few weeks, sure criticise then. And yes I've been in a few radio stations myself and no it's not as simple as "shur they all use the same software" and "it's just a fader"...

    None of the things you listed can be used as an excuse for starting his first broadcast with a depressing sigh and a godawful monologue about copper coins. Christ almighty. I thought I missed Ray from my radio, I tuned in and tuned back out after 15 mins. Too much same old, same old.

    Even if the equipment is different a professional would have himself acquainted with it to prevent dead air.

    I'd say Moncrief doesn't know what to do with all his new listeners.
