I assume these new visitors to the thread fail to see the irony in them taking the time to visit the thread to moan about something they don't like - in this case other people taking the time to come to the thread to "moan" about something they don't like.

There's no irony to see... a daily moan about Tubridy..the afternoon whinge at Duffy or maybe Ciara Kelly ...month after month. ..the radio always happens to be on in the background somewhere...made up most likely. ..long dreary repetitive self important posts .. I'd say most of ye are some crack all right

MOD - Don’t post on this thread again

Do you really not see any similarity in moaning about people posting comments and people moaning about a radio show?
Maybe it's apparent to the lord of the craic like yourself but its unclear to me what the difference is between what you are actually doing and what you are complaining about.

MOD - Cards have been given, bans may ensue if further trolling goes on here.

Avoid backseat modding, please, it’s being handled.

I would guess that his point is that the same people post the same comments in these threads day after day, so to speak as they say. He doesn't post everyday pointing this out, so therefore there is no real irony in his position.

Cheers for clearing that up mate, doing it everyday is bad but only doing it sometimes is ok -gotcha.

Glad to be of service, so to speak, as they say.

Would you say the repetitive nature of the thread is anything to do with the repetitive nature of the show?

Tubridy is like a broken record. He is really an unmerciful pain in the bollix. And that can't be stated enough as far as I'm concerned.

He certainly takes a lot of abuse on here anyway.

I enjoyed what I heard of this morning's show.

The Best of LLS is on in the background and some of it is pretty good.

It's light entertainment he's doing not Chekhov.

He gets heavily criticised for his broadcasting output. The majority is fair. Im surprised it doesnt get more personal than it does.

I listened back to the quiz after reading the thread. It was very funny. But that was due to the caller, not Tubridy. And it was a very rare moment.

This reasoning is as repetitive as anything else on the thread. The show is terrible by light entertainment standards unfortunately. Just because something isn't serious, doesn't mean you should just churn out any old sh*te.

IMO he's false, patronizing, pass-remarkable and generally an unlikable privileged chancer who is totally detached from normality and refuses point blank to accept criticism. The "toyman" stuff. The "look how much I read books and love JFK" stuff. Awful, awful shíte. Really abysmal.

What do you think are his strong points?

I couldn't agree more. He is utterly devoid of ability or talent having been handed down the keys to the most viewed show here by dint of his family legacy and is contemptible by his nauseating air headed repetitive quirky idiosyncratic behaviour and his childman ambivalence towards sensible adult life.

An abject lightweight earning multiples of what far far more talented people do for inexplicably few hours or any apparent responsibilities. His predecessors actually worked hard for a living and were often cutting edge. Ryan is a blunt tool.

Although the point about repeated moaning by many here may be well made as evidenced on this forum, the point is that the cosseted protection by his employers and his utter rejection of any criticism whatsoever despite a deluge, and his complete lack of self introspection as a broadcaster as evidenced by 11 years of complete rubbish infuriates ordinary people who can see this garbage and contribute to his enormous salary through the state. That's why people are entitled to moan.

I guess it's fair to say that you don't like the guy and nothing I could add is likely to change your mind.

As far as I'm concerned it's just a magazine type daytime radio show of the type common on radio stations all over the world.

It's not the best I ever heard but certainly not the worst.

I’ve said this loads of times but when he got the late late gig Ian Dempsey said in clear language that he would be “found out” and he was but was also protected

Didn't know Dempsey said that.

Didn't hear that at the time and realise it's a million years ago but don't suppose anyone has a clip of that? Would love to hear it.

Do I slag Mr. Duffy? Yes, it's impossible not to given his output and outrageous fee arrangement.

Is this me by any chance? Let it go. I am under no obligation to reveal to you, Boards.ie or moderators where I work.

When posters didn't get an answer to this on the public forum they went crying to mods.

It's a thin line between obsession and a passing interest.

That's the point, now you shouldn't measure a show by saying "there's worse out there", but it's not bad.

If you just don't like something or someone you are never going to like what they do and really should just move on. It will just drive you insane picking apart everything they do.

Not to me, but you are to boards and the mods if you have a vested interest in the subject so to speak as they say. Allegedly of course of course.

Never said it was you. Feeling guilty though?

Well that's easy to quantify.

Of your 35,806 posts, what percentage relate to Duffy et al? 80% maybe? Higher?

Of my 789 posts, what percentage relate to you? 0.3% maybe?

No idea. But could be, if it's not blocked at the firewall at this stage.

I’m sorry that my post was too difficult for you to decipher, despite my putting “YOUR” and “ME” in caps for you. Not me and Mr. Duffy.
