    Too many people on the panel tonight with the same message. The banks were in the wrong. There's nothing to debate on this issue.

    No debate regarding who was in the wrong but what justice they should face. Personally i think the bastards should be pursued to the courts.

    They should let Dunphy on every night. It's kinda boring without him!

    Am I the only one who can't stand Ivan Yates? He is really turning me off this show. He has no feel for when to interject or let the flow of the conversation or argument go on. He seems to talk over people or else ask them really unclear questions a lot thinking he can catch someone out. He asks an unclear question, he then gets a totally confused answer, he then tries to clear up the actual question he was originally asking. He's absolutely awful at this gig. Then there's his smarmy head. It reeks of smarminess!

    Dunphy was a disgrace last night with his comments on the Tom Humphries case. The bias was incredible. I can only imagine what Dunphys take on such a scenario would be if the victim was a family member of his and the perpetrator a totally unknown to him. There would be no better man calling for life sentences etc. in such a scenario. As it was he had the gall to call out another abuse victim for calling for harsher or life sentences. He let himself down badly last night.

    Not by a long shot. He's a terrible presenter and always has been. It's a wonder how he got any gig in broadcasting...

    ...or is it?

    :pac:

    Agreed, he's an unprofessional self-centred tool. He wants to be Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity or Piers Morgan but he hasnt got the intellect.

    I heard Chris Donoghue has been promoted to Political Editor of Communicorp this morning, but sent to the 8th Committee full time for his sins. I do quite miss himself and Sarah and Vin B, more than I thought.

    The early figures for Yeats Cooper will be interesting.

    I actually don't mind Yates too much in so far as he is removed from Cooper and the incessant PC brigade in Irish media however with that said the questions from the two lads come across as very scripted

    I could never understand his appeal.
    I don't know how people fall for his everyman contrarian shtick. He is anything but an everyman. Cute is the only word that comes to mind.
    And people buy it because he's seen as self-made but unfortunate in business. ****e. I love his wife's excuse about not knowing what she was signing. Cute out.

    Dunphy's a clown at this stage.
    That's a shockingly lenient sentence.

    Frightening viewing tonight. What are the ratings on this show or Vincent Brownes old slot? Looks like TV3 have killed what was a great tv slot for current affairs discussion with one single decision - making Ivan Yates a co presenter. It's only a matter of time I presume til this show is gone now.

    That was just strange. Do we now have to have a man, woman and someone of different races available on every single talk show topic. You have to wonder about people these days!

    What he should have been saying about the rail strike discussion is, we are sorry we have tried numerous times to get someone from the transport department or government in, but they have all refused. That is what was relevant. Not whether there were men or women present.

    This show is really getting on my tits now. I really like the time slot for a bit of current affairs discussion, but it's just an absolute rabble of a show.
