Not too keen on them so far

I sort of got used to them a bit. I got the guys reaction to the child with the spirit.

Just watching last nights episode now. I absolutely love it. Love the Cavan twins, and the 3 lads. Enjoy the father of the Gruffertys too
Great show....

I sure he'll be back. People even voted for it!

They might have a Peter Casey tea cosy soon!

doubt it if there fans of michael D , like the country one but not Dublin one .
i would say the house is somewhere like Carpenterstown - not the really posh part of Castleknock

The one thing that amazes me is those who can adore Michael D.

It was fairly obvious what they were going to do.
They aren't going risk it.
A guy like Peter would be good on Gogglebox just to see somebody with a different point of view.

They were very careful about the reactions they showed. Only negative reactions shown.

Came here to say the exact same thing.
Propaganda on tv3 too now. Targeting all sorts of viewers now, afraid of the "young vote" perhaps. Worrying tbh

I'm surprise they didn't overly praise the people in the audience as well.

Irish version of goggle box has gone down big time now for me. At least on the UK one they are not so pcbrigade protected. Well down editing dept. You've lost a viewer. Pity I used to enjoy most of it. Dopes!

I think this week John Connors should be on The Late Late and a group of audience members should gang up on him and let the Goggleboxers react.

Ya funny how there wasn’t one Peter Casey supporter shown during the Peter Casey late late show. Was very supriced at the Limerick family being so against him since Limerick probably have the highest population of Travellers.

I’m sick of being censored in this country.

Were y'all surprised that most people weren't impressed with Casey or what?

Everyone I know voted for him. Hopefully now he will be the next taoiseach. At least Peter Casey isn't a " frightened little schoolboy ".

Taoiseach, eh? How exactly would he be getting 70-ish votes in the Dail, do you reckon?

The frightened little boy who you all worship wasn't voted in by the public. Ie the people who pay tax and insurance. Also the nursing staff ( the workers been ordered not to take any time off over Christmas).

As it happens, I'm not a huge fan of Harris. He was definitely voted in by his constituents in Wicklow.


But back to my question - how do you expect that Casey is going to have 70-ish TDs voting for him when they come to choose Taoiseach?

Phoebas

Do you remember when this thread used to be about Gogglebox?

I think one of the sons was for him, he mentioned how high he did in votes

Well nearly one quarter of the people who voted. Voted for Casey.
I even no people who hated Casey and they'd have agreed he was treated terribly on The Late Late Show.
If John Connors was on and a gang of people in the audience gangned up on him they'd be war.
There was no comment about this.
They only showed him when he was a bit muddled and not when he spoke a little better.
There was a traveller lad in the audience who spoke terribly but they didn't show this.
Even the reaction on social sort of liberal people on social media thought he was treated badly by Ryan apart from travellers and lefty RTE people.

Sorry they didn’t show any Peter Casey supporter? What can’t u understand that? The man got 23% vote for f*ck sake, he has plenty of supporters out there and I’m pretty sure there was a least one google box person who is a supporter but they made sure now to air those opinions.

Why can’t he get 70ish votes? Look what he’s already achieved in such a short period of time.
