Allison is in for Dempsey this coming week. Don’t say ye weren’t warned...

Taking bets on how many times does she mention her twitter account/the text no / babies ... I won’t do the drinking game as I’d be hammered after the first half an hour

Allison who?

Ursus Horribilis

The Brazilian goalkeeper. The lad Liverpool wanted to sign.

Dermot and Dave off again next week. Joe is in

Who told Joe Donnelly that he'd be good on radio? He has a voice for insomniacs.
The whole station is going to hell in a handcart these days. Should never have moved D&D off mid-day.

Joe is perfect for that time of morning. Dermot and daves 'banter' would be better suited to Darcy's afternoon slot.

Yes, having them laughing and chuckling just after 9am is just too early although I can't suggest any other time it's suitable for.

Personally I like Joe, he's easier to listen to than the forced banter.

I couldn’t agree more. Joe is absolutely brilliant. I was actually looking forward to listening to his show when he was on for those two weeks. He’s 100% natural. He’s a great personality and no old waffle with him. If only he could be on permanently.

He doesn't take himself too seriously anyway

Anyone else think Joe Donnelly sounds very like the celebrity gardener Gerry Daly?

It's not all that long ago that people were calling for Muireann to get a permanent slot. Now she can't do anything right. Be careful what you wish for.

I think Muireann is unfairly getting a bit of a hard time but i cant understand why todayfm dont have her on the mid morning slot and D&D on lunchtime, it would make far more sense

Her show format is utter garbage, she was grand sitting in for Dermot and Dave a couple of weeks back.

I'm not sure her show is any different to ray foley back in the day,its a difficult slot to be able to do anything different in,she would be far more suited to the mid morning slot where they take phone calls from someone with a quirkey problem,or talk about something a bit serious etc,the lunchtime slot is all about fun so D&D are ideal for that,tony cascarinos club classics was made for friday lunchtime

D&D with Rachel Allen the other day was the stuff of legend, just what they are good at. Some of the Best radio fror me, along with them talking to Diarmuid Gavin, and Mario's Roy v Roy and Ronan meets Ronan.

EPAndlee

I didn't think Rachel Allen would be up for that, she'd a good laugh at it in fairness

Sheep Shagger

Am I the only person who thinks D&D are the unfunniest two on radio around (ok maybe PJ and the other guy on Classic Hits are as bad), the only people laughing at their jokes are themselves (and whoever they know in Communicorp who keep them in employment).

Even back in the 98FM days they were pathetic and nothing has changed, maybe it’s a sign of the poor ‘has been’ radio hosts we are subjected to.

johnire

Yea. I would kind of agree with you. I don’t particularly mind either of them but it’s the same old thing rehashed with them week in week out. They have the “Irish “ thing done to death.
As regards genuinely not understanding the appeal of someone I honestly do not get how anyone thinks Fergal Darcy is funny or interesting. He talks absolute rubbish and he constantly talks about “back in the day “. His language too at times can be very questionable for a nationwide afternoon show.

I have to agree, i dont think hes all there to be honest, even when he is presenting he seems to be on another planet

I thought Ray Foley was dreadful as well

I am unfollowing this thread as it seems to be all just about slagging off presenters.

No, you are not alone.

Cannot stand them, whelan is about as funny as Des Bishop, but even more annoying........who knew that was possible.
Whelan cracks crap joke, the other gimp wets himself, rinse and repeat........awful.
We usually change channels on the radio in our office, but now Today is off limits when they are on, health and safety reasons....:P
