Grand. And make sure to tell us about the McSavage incident. :-D

Beer was good. Beer very good.

And now, on to Mr Mcsavage and myself ...

The last time Mr McSavage was a guest on this show I posted about an altercation I had with him in the past.

The posts mysteriously disappeared shortly afterwards. He's a great man to hurl abuse at others, not so keen on taking criticism himself :rolleyes:

It was during the Edinburgh Festival a few years ago. He was standing at a corner hurling abuse at passers by, like he used to do in Temple Bar.

He roared something at me, I told him it's bad enough having to endure his gibberish in Dublin and that the good people of Edinburgh didn't deserve his ludicrous inane 'performances'

We had a heated debate for a few minutes, during which neither side changed their opinion. Eventually I left him and went into the Three Sisters Pub for a much needed Pint.

and for some background to why McSavage might have got my posts deleted

Why is Boards.ie like the Ministry of Truth when it comes to David McSavage-bashing threads? The way they're just vaporised, and thus never existed...?

Seriously, if you're just going to delete threads without a word, maybe you should put up a sticky explaining the website's position on this topic to its members/contributors?

I'm not itching to attack the guy or anything - my only view on him is if he's going to dish it out, he should be prepared to take it, but the way these threads are being dealt with in such a secretive manner doesn't look too great imo...

But hey, that's all in the past.

Hope to see you all for the Ultimate SNS thread in a fortnight.

Super OP tonight, GHG.

So he's a bit of a spanner in real life?

Aw, that's a shame, I thought he might be sound and it's all a big act.

Did he really just shout abuse in the street? In a sort of a "please look at me" way? So, not really clever at all.

When he does his 'performance' piece in public places, he isn't a likeable person.

And someone who makes a living out of satire should be able to live with honest reportage of real life incidents being discussed on message boards.

Apart from that, he might be a lovely person in real life for all I know.

I know nothing about Mr Gerrard but I overheard a few lads in my office arguing over him, apparently most of them think he was extremely overrated lol

Atlantic Dawn

Twink, Linda Martin, Crystal Swing and Johnny Logan, there needs to be atleast 2 of these to have the final show a success. It has run from January 2010 to now, lots of highs and lows on the show and in my life, I shall make the ending with a few fancy drinks.

I don't know why Stevie G is being discussed on this learned thread, but ...

The boy done good.

He won the European Cup for Liverpool single handedly against AC Milan. And that was with Djimi Traoré in the team. I was a useless heifer of a footballer, and I was still much better than Djimi Traoré

Don’t blame it on Biscan,
don’t blame it on Finann,
don’t blame it on Hamann,
blame it on Traore.

He just can’t, he just can’t, he just can’t control his feet

Is it true that Stevie G punched the DJ cos he wouldn't play his fave tune- Born Slippy???

WTF? How was McSavage on again? That must be the 2nd or 3rd time he's been on this week alone. Ridiculous.

His last appearance was on 14 February:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=94287462

And before that, he appeared on the episodes of 16 March 2013 and 1 March 2014.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=83684345
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=89255161

He was also due to appear on the episode of 4 February 2012, but was dropped because he "just wasn't up to scratch". Hmmm...

http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/risky-comic-mcsavages-routine-dropped-from-saturday-night-27999991.html

I wonder if he was booked this week on the basis that he is one of Brendan's favourite SNS guests, if not his favourite of all?

(And again, Brendan has every right to make this consideration, even if many other people wouldn't consider McSavage their favourite SNS guest.)

I only watched this show on RTE Player to see the McSavage interview and I was cringing for O'Connor.
I'm really surprised it took RTE so long to dump him.

Ehh no he's not.

Without any disrespect intended, El Diablo... do you genuinely believe that Ray and his show are going to be better?

CatFromHue

I can't think of anyone in RTE who would be able to interview McSavage better than Brendan.

We are Brendan fans here - no dissing the dude.

No, I definitely don't think D'arcy will be any better. I've heard him do some woeful interviews on radio.

The Daniel O'Donnell comment from McSavage was funny.

This is The Saturday Night Show thread. Maybe you need to open a separate
Brendan O'Connor Appreciation thread.
