Ray doesn't know if a soccer ball is pumped or stuffed yet he gets all indignant on behalf of Johnny Giles and makes an ape of himself again, his levels of courtesy to his guests is appalling.

Aaah come on man, he is only asking the questions which were agreed before the show, he couldn't give a fhook about Giles , he is just doing a job.

Can you not see that:rolleyes:

Ray doesn't curse.

Orla: I don't know whether it was a man or a woman.

30 seconds later : She said she'll get back to me

Ray apologizes for sound different today, because he's in a different studio!!

Best chickenwings in Ireland, great radio...

my friend

Gerry Ryan used to do that too - having a bacon sandwich whilst looking at the papers, and schlurping during items on wine-tasting.

Not cool

Ray making sure he gets a comfortable seat on the Paul Dunne bandwagon

In fairness, he has to cover it, seeing as RTE have built it up all day. Golf is clearly not really Ray's thing, mine neither.

Maybe im being cruel but youd have thought after 50 years in Ireland his english wouldnt be so accented.

Ray hasn't given up on yesterday's news, at 3:00pm he's still trawling the papers the rest of RTE were finished with by 10am

Mrs. Brown not iconic enough for the Guinness book of records. Proper order. Wait till Joe Duffy gets back. He'll sort them out.

Newspapers again today, his English is so bad,
Ray refers to 'a letter written to the Irish Times today' - well if it was written to the IT today it wouldn't be in the print edition.
You would expect such a highly paid broadcaster on our supposed flagship national station to be capable of using proper terminology, for example 'published in today's paper'
He's low brow and proud unless of course he has an educated guest, then he's quick to inform them of his psychology degree...
Ray is the stereotypical Irish inverted snob.
RTE should can him.

That's really your best example of Ray's English which is "so bad"?

Pedants be pedants I suppose.

Camel milk in porridge at 3pm!
