He's right, cos look at everything that United have won since Alex Ferguson left the club... Oh wait..

I dont think he could possibly have picked a worse analogy

woejus · 19-10-2015 2:08pm

okay? okay. Okay?? Okay.

vicwatson · 19-10-2015 2:08pm

I hope the backroom staff go with Billy

I can nearly hear Joe trying to come up with some boxing puns, so to speak.

He'll make a fist of it anyway, so to speak. Or deliver a knockout blow, so to speak.

sligojoek · 19-10-2015 2:08pm

Jimmy McGee on line 2

Dan Jaman · 19-10-2015 2:08pm

He wants much more money, Joe. You'd know something about that.

vicwatson · 19-10-2015 2:09pm

And those coaches will be treated the same despicable way as Billy Walsh was treated for years by the IABA/Sports Council

Surely that's up there with the most stupid questions Joe has asked in 2015?

Steady on, it's only October. There's plenty of room left in the year for Joe to top that repeatedly so to speak.

PeterTheEighth · 19-10-2015 2:10pm

Straight question here... I've heard Joe on every station promoting that book of his. Is he getting all the profits from this book? Does anybody know?

my friend · 19-10-2015 2:10pm

Carruth out batting for the IABA

Shameful whitewashing from him

Wacker The Attacker · 19-10-2015 2:10pm

Its a big blow.

Mick Dowling didn't win an Olympic medal

Dan Jaman · 19-10-2015 2:12pm

Are the gloves off, now? So to speak.

vicwatson · 19-10-2015 2:12pm

Bloody hell, the board is made up of bankers, soilicitors, mathematicians and fund managers - Holy Fook !

Wacker The Attacker · 19-10-2015 2:12pm

The IABA should be teabagging Billy Walsh on demand.

He's worth that much

He won a community games medal, Joe, not an Olympic games medal.. And that was for art... :pac:

Yes. It's a private venture. Nothing to do with RTÉ at all.....except for all the 10's of thousands of advertising revenue they're giving Joe for free by allowing him to publicise the book on every TV & Radio programme available to them to do so. I'm expecting someone to tell me there's a picture of the buke itself on D'Angelus at the moment so to speak.

my friend · 19-10-2015 2:13pm

The great unspoken difference between USA and Ireland is the dole

Boxers here are taxpayer funded in more ways than one, Stateside they HAVE to turn pro, ergo their best are not amateurs and therefore don't go to the olympics

Socialist states like Ireland and Cuba therefore appear to thrive in boxing, but not in the real pro cash world

True.

He did win 2 European bronzes though

Hey Butters, how are things. I know I've been slagging him about the fact that it is a private enterprise, but he presenting it to everybody as if it's a public service that he's done and a tribute to the families of the dead. I find it hard to believe that he wouldnt give any money back ?

dvcireland · 19-10-2015 2:15pm

next on Liveline

Joe speaks to dvcireland about the time he saw Billy Walsh in TK MAxx

".....a small dapper man, stylish, a great eye for a bargain...."

BPKS · 19-10-2015 2:15pm

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrround 3

Roger_007 · 19-10-2015 2:15pm

So, Mick doesn't know what the issues are, but he knows it's not money??

vicwatson · 19-10-2015 2:15pm

Its crazy stuff, why not pay the man the money he is worth FFS and lets go win some medals in Rio.

Pathetic Irish bullsh1t again. Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

They're definitley missing a trick here then. They should become phone operators. 75mins a day, 4 days a week, 30 weeks a year for €360,000 would allow them the cash to hire the best coaches and train in the best facilities, and the 75mins a day wouldn't interfere with their training time at all. Like Joe, they could treat it as rest or down-time and maybe even do the crossword while they're at it......so to speak.

If he'd a conscience at all, he wouldn't sleep easily knowing he's in receipt of a fantastic amount of money (ten times the average worker's wage) for blathering and pressing buttons for a few hours a week. In fact, a conscientious individual would donate at least half of that money to a charity - and other earnings from private book sales, too.

cowboyBuilder · 19-10-2015 2:18pm

20Eur ?

I went there two years ago, it was 16Eur and 2 free pints plus a taster and pulling pints course .

Amazing museum with fantastic views and proper quality pints ! - Bargain

Wacker The Attacker · 19-10-2015 2:18pm

If they wanted him out.

The simple question is why?

somesoldiers · 19-10-2015 2:19pm

Billy is a great after dinner speaker according to my mrs and makes a good few bob at it

PeterTheEighth · 19-10-2015 2:19pm

Well I don't know definitively that he's not giving any monies to charidee so to speak, but I haven't heard anything to the contrary yet so to speak.

I have long suspected of Joe that despite being rich far beyond any talent or ability he possesses, that he's actually from Cavan (sic) and not Ballyer. He's a great man for giving other people's money away and taking credit for it, but he never seems forthcoming or giving himself so to speak. I have posted on this previously.

A friend of mine was at a Microsoft speech a few weeks back, and was told that they had the choice of Jim McGuinness, Billy Walsh or Gordon D'Arcy... And McGuinness was the cheapest !!

Mick comes out fighting, but gets hit with a quick uppercut from the former Lord Mayor. Now Mick starts dancing, in steps that Billy taught him, and I don't mean Billy Barrie. The referee has gone quiet, as he often does. Doesn't look like there is going to be a bad line knockout in this one. It'll go to the final bell.
