The Ray D'Arcy Show - 30th. January 2016

Welsh Megaman

Here we go again!

*sigh*

Heathers are among the acts performing on The Ray D'Arcy Show tonight.

The tuneful duo comprise Ellie Macnamara on vocals and Louise Macnamara on vocals and guitar. Their latest single, November, is the first new release of 2016 from the siblings whose second album Kingdom was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in 2014. Their first album Here, Not There, released in 2010 yielded the smash hit, Remember When.

Senator David Norris will also join Ray to talk about his life and career to date and as they prepare to defend their Six Nations title next month, Irish Women’s Rugby Team members Niamh Briggs (captain), Marie Louise Reilly and Nora Stapleton will be in studio.
Comedian Sean Hughes will also explain his unique take on life. The Ray D’Arcy Show airs on RTÉ One at 9:35pm.

It'll be interesting to see how Ray manages to offend the rugby players. It'll be along the lines of "for female rugby players, a few of you's look attractive, almost femine. I have some male friends who have said that they definitely would when looking at photos of ya's. Would you's be stronger than me? Could you's actually pick me up? Stand up there now and try to pic........are you's taller than me??"

Wow, I haven't heard from Sean Hughes for a long time. Anyone remember Seans Show on Channel 4 in the 90s?

I seem to remember he was quite a funny fella. He was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks too.

Might watch till MOTD, but it'll feel like I'm doing it against my will, even though it won't be. That's what this show does to you.

He still is, but I'm sure D'Arcy will suck the life out of him.

If he doesn't say at least one of those things, I shall eat my hat.

Jeez, the last time i heard of Sean Hughes was... afaik last week on with Anton Savage:D
Nah, remember some of those madcap shows on Channel 4, maybe that's where he gets his sense of humour afaik his parents are Irish?

Btw: 1st dibs on RuggerRay to the Rugby players, "I'll have you know, I played a bit of rugby, in my time,"
No doubt that'll be the first ruck of the evening:rolleyes:

"Which contains strobe lighting"...I'm sick of all these warnings about lighting and flash photography, if these are a problem for you don't watch telly, simple.

My first Ray D'Arcy show

100% Irish as they couldn't get any foreign celebs, and no Irish celebs either.

paleoperson

David Norris... oh god, can't seeing this going pear-shaped at ALL........

Atlantic Dawn

I liked LIDL's purple ball campaign to show awareness of womens sport. I and probably most people I know couldn't name 3 players of any female sports team in Ireland.

RobertKK

I hate rugby.

I'd lower your expectations considerably.

Evening all. Female rugby players. This could be awkward for Ray. Didn't Ray play a bit of rugby?

Ol' Donie

Lads, I don't dislike Ray as a bloke. I mean, I never listen to his radio show, don't know much about him at all.

But the way Brendan's show was stopped for this is just such rubbish.

Because, while i don't dislike Ray, he really doesn't seem like a natural. The opposite in fact, it's like there's a weird anxiety about all of these I've seen.

Every interview is a bit like when you meet someone you went to school with, but weren't really friends, and both of you just want the conversation over.

Atlantic Dawn

D'Arcy would make a good bellboy for a hotel.

'' And now, the Ray D'arcy Show, which contains strobe lighting'''

It also contains an egotistical, patronising, balding git, but the announcer forgot to mention that. An oversight, I'm sure....

Wouldn't mind seeing these three in the shower after a game, working up a lather

"she kissed me on the top of the head" sez Ray

Welsh Megaman

Ladies, could you please demonstrate a rugby tackle on Ray.

Atlantic Dawn

Womens sport gets terrible coverage and backing, do fellow women have no interest in supporting?

Ol' Donie

I played second row for a while in school.

I was b*llocks at it.

What's up the camerawork???

He must have influence, anyone I have heard going recently to any hospital said it was worse than a third world kip.

I love horse racing and feel I support women jockeys. They really are up against it as they are in amongst the men grappling for decent rides. The best really do get to the top despite the odds. Its hard to support other women's sport as it's so sidelined and at the same time covered in such a patronising way. And they're usually referred to as either girls or ladies by male commentators. Such a bore listening to that, very off-putting.

Welsh Megaman

Methinks Ray is in competition with Tubs to see who can bring the misery the quickest in an interview

Liver cancer, five seconds in
