A half an hour would at least.

Where's Kennithhhhhhhhh Egannnnnnnnn and Paul McGrath, both announced as being on? Did they walk out in rage at the joke of a show they are putting on for him?

Did anybody hear "Kenneth" being interviewed about Jimmy during the week? Apparently he was "very witty for his age." Well done Kenny, patronising as feck.

Sonia always talking through teeth and looking to the ground.

Not a lot of people know this, but all Irish celebrities go to mass at the same church (except the Protestant ones, who are going to hell). Father Brian D'Arcy is the parish priest, and that's why he does so many celebrity funerals.

The issue merits a whole Late Late Show special, tbh. A very unentertaining show, certainly, but no worse than the Boyzone or Westlife ones they've had in the past.

Yes it's actually going to cause serious harm to the economy, people can't live near where they work on modest incomes and firms can't afford insane commerical rents. The old need lots of younger people working to sustain their incredibly generous state pension, we are heading in to a brick wall.

Apparently they went for a pint to celebrate Jimmy's life. We're expecting them back some time in 2019.

RayM, you were in Glenroe

Does that get you a good seat?

Isn't the show so..brusque. The Tubs LLS. Speedy talking host, snappy non funny jokes. Move along, rush the next segment. Keep smilling and tapping things. Snappy fingers stuff. Cover everything but nothing properly.

There's no flow or depth to any conversation. When you think of the Gay Byrne LLS, when time was not our master. If something interesting developed it could be explored. Regardless of whether it was on the auto cue cards!

I don't watch anymore even when I think the guests sound interesting.

Your description is so spot-on about the clicky click nature of the 'interviews', snap snap, read cards, move along.

I don't dislike Tubs, but an interviewer he ain't. The 50th anniversary of the LLS showed that Gaybo and Pat Kenny could wipe the floor with Tubs effortlessly. And they didn't even have to try that night.

It's about connecting with people, listening, being professional and human too. They have their detractors, of course, and I'm not suggesting they got everything right, but I could watch them.

And I won't even start on D'arcy... Life is too short.

Paul McGrath loved a pint.

Atlantic Dawn

That Ireland shirt is my favourite ever, I hope Adidas get the shirt contract again and reissue it.

Skid X

Father Brian Darcy seems like a decent man who would have been much happier if he wasn't a priest.

Arghus

Bit of an irony that the girl who was on earlier who couldn't find a place to call her own has now been moved out of her seat to make way for Michael Carruth and some others.

Baron Kurtz

Carruth seems like a decent skin.

Lady Chatterton

Oh ye of little faith... here's Kenny Kenneth Egan & Paul McGrath.

Ash.J.Williams

great banter

I saw him in a nightclub in Cork one night - everyone was swarming around him getting autographs and selfies when he probably wanted to be left alone, but he was a complete gentleman to everybody.

He strikes me as someone who would have made a very good Anglican minister.

I'll be very honest, I liked Jimmy a lot but he was a bit of a cheerleader (teeny, tiny criticism).

My favourite memory - I loved when he commentated on the Barry McGuigan fights of the 1980's.

It was a shame how RTE1 television couldn't show his World Title fight in Loftus Road against Pedrosa live.

They had to show it delayed 24 hours later, none of the poor children who only had RTE got to see it live.

Barney Eastwoods fault, the bastard.

Welsh Megaman

Roland Gift of Fine Young Cannibals looking rough.

Atlantic Dawn

Madison Square Gardenzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, ffs.

On that note, I'm half-surprised that Michelle Smith isn't on.

I saw Paul at two different O'Byrne Cup matches, bizarrely.

He was the exact same, couldn't have been nicer to anyone who asked for photos or selfies.

BorneTobyWilde

You just know Paul insisted that he'd sit in crowd and gave his place to one on the panel.

We listened to it on the radio.

I just wish the Catholic Church would see sense and allow priests to marry. I know a few priests who have left the church and their reason for leaving was not a change in their faith but loneliness.

Atlantic Dawn

As the head of sport get some decent sport on, ffs losing the rugby to TV3.

We're running out of time...

Terrible planning and production

Or if celibacy was optional and priests were allowed to get married.

This tribute should have been on first. Joke really.

Lady Chatterton

I've wonderful memories of Fred Cogley, I remember I used to spend my Saturdays watching rugby with my Grandad in the 80's ... the days of Ollie Campbell, Ciaran Fitzgerald..... Dear God, I'm feeling old this evening.

Arghus

Doesn't feel right for them to be flying through this.

Harry Angstrom

I hope Gaybo is okay, I miss his Lyric programme on Sunday afternoons.

Welsh Megaman

RTE Player timed out!

Cark?

Atlantic Dawn

Garitthhh Brooookes.

Lady Chatterton

Harry, you're a Benny Goodman fan, aren't you?

Skid X

This Jimmy Magee tribute would have made a good full show on its own.

The kind you would keep on your video tape or sky recorder.

I think it was Dustin that said "Lyric FM. Music by the dead. For the nearly dead."

seanhynes

Rte are woeful , no respect , how can they give him 15 mins of a tribute at most, they could have filled an hour with stories on him

Arghus

We have some guests next week.

Except for the ones we don't.

Agree. It's been done to death everywhere else.

Atlantic Dawn

Fook off Clinton.

Will we ever find out why the Irish government gave between €5 million and €10 million to a private organisation?
