Funny that the lad that claimed to be in China was in the chippy having battered sausages two days earlier, do you think maybe he was lying?

Take the other one....RTÉ are shower of puppets for the government....even the Bailey interview SOR spent the whole time trying to help her only she was too stupid....stick either of her or Leo the kitten with someone who would do a proper interview and both would fail dramatically

Would have thought Bailey did fail dramatically....O'Rourke could see the hole she was digging and held off destroying her entirely.

Use a bit of common sense pal ..if O'Rourke subjected her to a really filleting interview he would have difficulty in getting polls to com on his show...and he needs that to happen !

O'Rourke is well able to do a proper interview...his expertise was just giving her enough rope to produce the epic fail !

Sixteen minutes between my comment and your retort. You seem to be living on this thread.....Someone in FG paying youth lurk here?

I thought one of the “selling points” of varadkar was he was good at the media etc etc media savvy

He was Effin woeful this morning

Stuttering and scuttering and stammering throughout

Sniggering inappropriately, nervous as befcuked in case he puts foot in it

Useless !!

Increasingly clear that

Fg backed the wrong horse (and ironically the members wanted Coveney not LV)

And ff are happy to let him swing in the wind as his party’s ratings continue to drop

Not another red cent !! Remember that one ?

Veruka wouldn't get into the ring with VB. He knows VB would make him look like a bumbling clown (which is what he is)

Vincent Browne would have that bluffer turned upside down in about 30 seconds flat.

Pal????



She did fail but not because of the presentor....she done it on her own


He didn't have to fillet her, what that is supposed to mean....she went to the radio station.....all he had to do was ask the same question "why 60k?" and a few others....but he backed off and started talking about what a great party FG are.....another plonker in RTE, the sooner that place goes bust the better

I used to rate Vincent Browne, but after a short while I realised he wasn't a tough, incisive interviewer, but would just angrily talk over the guest in an unproductive way. I think he's very overrated. Soft as SOR was today, I think he's better.

I remember Brown asking the lad from the EU why the Irish were expected to shoulder so much of the banking burden, made the EU lad look like a fool. I don't think anyone in RTE would have done the same tbh.

Ah will you stop. Brown kept asking the hard questions and making the blunt statements. It was the idiot politicians that couldn't answer them. He only got annoyed when they waffled and that was most of the time.

Fine Gael TDs stopped going on the VB show because they were afraid of him. He ripped so many of them to shreds. Labour TDs were a bit braver and cuter. Enda was in total fear of VB and avoided him at all costs.

To fillet in an interview means to to comprehensively destroy the person you are
interviewing...he didn't have to do that as she"done" it herself...as you rightly point out.

O'Rourke is a good professional broadcaster ..plenty of plonkers in RTE but he is not one.

Hectoring people isn't necessarily getting to the truth of the matter. I realised this quickly and stopped listening to VB.

I think the problem is more that we have so few good broadcasters in Ireland that would actually give a politician any trouble. Vincent looked good in comparison to all the dross. As flawed as he is, he's still streets ahead of Mary Wilson or Claire Byrne.

This enrages me as I think we're more than capable of producing great journalists that would keep calm and expose BS effectively without shouting people down.

Did Vincent Brown not tell Enda to go away and kill himself? I'm far from a FG shill but I wouldn't blame Enda for not going near him after that.

He said he should go into a dark room with a gun and a bottle of whiskey.
But Kenny avoided any debate, just used VB's comments as an excuse to avoid his ones. Enda has fairly thick skin.

This forum is good for a laugh, but as I told Paddy yesterday he can call everyone who posts here cranks on the net. The problem for Paddy and more worryingly for FG is the national media is not letting this go. Drip feed is what this is called.

Back from China a fair while lads. Down in Killarney this week at the races. Staying in a nice spot down here. Probably out of the budget of some of the more regular posters around here.

Wait, now I remember you. Weren't you in a movie about 6 years ago about this guy who worked as a photo developer for a magazine? :rolleyes:

The one constant thing about FG supporters I've noticed over the years is the constant inference that anyone who criticises their chosen party is unemployed/a waster/SF supporter/lower in the social order, and so their opinion doesn't matter.

Well I'm fully employed in the financial services/MNC sector and "get up early in the morning", earn enough to put me in the top percentages - but then lose nearly half of it again in taxation and charges for very little benefit as I pay again for things like health care and my son's "free" education, and have never claimed for anything save for 12 months when I was out of work during the crash.

In short, I should probably be a key demographic for FG but their gross incompetence, corruption, waste and overriding arrogance despite it all means they'll never get my vote, nor will I be taken in by the spin from the worst Taoiseach in living memory (and that's some achievement after Enda!), or characters like you insisting there's nothing to see here and using obvious deflection and baiting attempts to derail the discussion.

Well I'm not fooled Johnny, and I doubt anyone else here is either. And ye can say that these complaints are limited to "cranks" on social media - but unfortunately the recent poll results and locals would suggest that they go far wider than just Boards and Twitter/Facebook

But keep up the good work anyway.. If nothing else it's a great example for others of how FG and their supporters view dissenting opinions and the electorate in general.

No wonder FF are largely sitting back and watching their polls rise. Ye and Leo are doing all the work for them, which also fits the historical pattern of course - FG are only ever in power until they remind us all that they're even worse!

You’re a FF supporter, Kaiser. No harm in that at all, compadre, but at least be honest about it.
