....... Can't fathom their reaction TBH.
Leaving the country etc etc..... Fear, anxiety & stress..... Yet normal for the chap.

Its completely understandable.

As a white woman upto now she didnt really understand how bad racism is.

As a black man he has become used to it and almost immune.

The fear, anxiety and stress is completely understandable given the amount of scummy racist abuse Gemma and her supporters sibjected them to.

I think the start of next week show tubs should publicly apologize to the bald audience member he took a cheap shot at tonight thinking he was funny.
You can’t say that type of thing to a complete stranger who might be self conscious or suffering with depression etc.
It’s alright having the craic with friends but that was taking the p1ss there tonight.
The same tubs will be waffling sh1te next week about bullying.
I’m fcukin annoyed over it.

I hope he doubles down on it and does an opening 3 minute monologue of bald jokes.

Absolutely- yes the comments are awful but sweet Jesus this is the internet- a magnet for every head case imaginable. Don’t read the fcuking comments and get on with your life. This is exactly what these people want - attention and engagement

Excuse me? The only person spoofing here is yourself and your vendetta. I stand by what I say. I call it how I see it.

Name calling now, I think it’s way past your bedtime.

I don't have a vendetta. You made a ****ty comment that he was just there to sell a book.

Back-tracked with the "fair play to him and all that" which would appear to be far from the intention to paint what he was saying when you said "All this to flog a book".

Maybe you didn't mean to be ****ty. Maybe it was language. Only you know that.

It appeared as a very ****ty comment. And I stand by what I said on the comment that was made.

If your intention was different, so be it.

Watching back there on +about that Lidl couple. well no Ryan you haven't started any Conversation in the country because it'll be a one sided conversation with anyone with an alternate viewpoint whether we like or agree with it or not never ever allowed to air their argument so it can come into plain view and be argued back and forth like adults. Instead everyone is driven to the extremes and labelled far right or far left... labels which have been rendered meaningless now so overused are they

Absolutely over the top reaction. And tubs letting us know as a country we are all racist. Near 5 million population and I'm guessing it's sub 100 fools posted racist comments so we all have to sit down and reflect on those fools comments.

Also felt sorry for the bald chap. He didn't look too impressed.

Looks a bit hypocritical of Ryan:
He himself appears to insult the man in the audience (+seems to find it funny)
+ yet then goes on to find fault with other people insulting the couple in the Lidl ad, bizarre.

She is very genuine and pleasant and excellent at presenting the weather forecast.

Extreme racist hate speech and death threats are not comparable to what Ryan said.

Tubs used to make fun of bald people on Tubridy tonight.
He's a baldist lol.
He doesn't realise he's making himself look like a plonker.
That fella in the audience looked embarrassed.
Failed joke attempt.

I can be cynical myself about things at times,but definitely not about death threats and sexual abuse.
Some of the comments here tonight are disgraceful.I'm sure the people making them have never been subjected to what that couple and Richie Sadlier have gone through.

Boards.ie gets more and more bigoted and right wing and cynical by the day in my view. Check out the views of the mob on accommodation and property for example, at a time when Ireland has the worst accommodation and homelessness crisis in its history. It mirrors the way Ireland is going in my view, and it's not a good path to be in. Used to love this thread, witty and highly entertaining. Last night was a low point in this threads history for me.

I think it was a failed attempt tonight by a few to get up on soap boxes and virtue signal.

People have a right to be cynical when someone comes on to sell a story on tv, which is what the couple and Richie Sadlier are doing as a fact.

The couple in particular, getting upset over some comments on twitter, are not credible to a lot of people who are entitled to their opinion.

Virtue signal, the go to put down of anyone these days when they just can't stomach the fact others might actually be sympathetic to something they aren't.

Baldism is rampant and Tubridy is an enabler. That chaps considering leaving the country now. It’s not a victimless crime.

I actually missed the bald ‘joke’, what did he say?

(I was out of the room, planning better ways to spend Friday nights ).

Regarding that most unremarkable couple, it seems to me if they (& it seems to be mostly she) did not live their lives on Twitter they would never ever know about remarks good, bad or indifferent. Everything and anything gets negative remarks from brain-dead skangers who, being lazy-headed, have little else to do but troll the world of social media). I rarely use Twitter, except for power outage updates etc, and wouldn’t have s clue what people are tweeting about me, not that I’m very interesting to the twitterati.

To me it seems this has become one great big advertisement for Lidl, and that there’s not much more to it. Btw in case any hung-ho outraged grabs the wrong handle here, I abhor racism.

Missed it last night. Did Tubridy keep to his misery fest and ask Lowry if he ever thinks about death?

yeah, seems to have been in the last while since GDPR and new / re-reg accounts became rampant. but its also with accounts that have been around 10 years plus... hard to know the cause, maybe just the way the online world in general is going

Ya. What did he actually say? I thought he was totally against pointing out other peoples' differences as we're all the same.

There was some sort of grooming product giveaway for everyone in the audience. Out of the blue, Tubridy looked at some fella and told him he wouldn't need the hair product cos he was bald. The bloke rolled his eyes a bit. Tubridy came back and said it again.

it was typical awkward stuff out of Tubridy - a cringe-worthy lack of tact. He's a terrible host and an absolute creep if you ask me.

It's not that it was offensive, it's just he is so desperate to appear politically correct most of the time and then these little awkward moments happen. He just comes across like a twat.

I’ve seen people complain here for a lot less. Short memories.

So I went on RTÉ player to watch the Lidl interview and, even allowing for the fact that I can’t generally find anything I’m looking for, I can’t see it up there with all the other segments. Is it just me or is there some sort of censorship conspiracy going on?

Beechwoodspark

Dunno if ppl listen to his radio show much but he is constantly going on about

“Kindness”

“Minding each other”

“Looking out for one other”

This is said most days on his show.

He’s such a hypocritical insincere gobsh1te.

I don't see what the Ryan family problem is they are what they are. There is a family down our country she is dark and stunning he is lrish and the only the only coments I hear is how beautiful the kids are.

It’s social media news. It doesn’t really reflect real life.

It's an interesting one. In Irish society and on Irish media, it's acceptable to slag off bald men, in a way that being critical of another's physical features would be referred to as "shaming" and those who engaged in such acts would be the subject of highly critical panel discussions with Ciara Kelly and Sinead O'Carroll. I cannot imagine that Tubridy would have made the same remark to Gail Porter if she had been sitting in the audience.

But I guess expecting anybody in the media to put being consistent ahead of being populist is a bit much to ask for. Interesting to see if Tubridy gets any heat about this. Between this and the Greta Thunberg thing in the last few weeks, he'll be afraid to open his mouth. :pac:

Im bald. And i dont care if someone has a bit of banter about it. All good fun. Really.

Its easy to act like that when your own 500 or 600k a year.

It's all about the context and tone though. Tubridy just got it wrong as per usual. And he went back for seconds!

Ironically the most entertaining bit of the LLS is seeing him fumbling about trying to be all correct and then f*cking it up

He was doing his "I'm great with kids" thing too with the twitter couple's baby :rolleyes:

He usually just forgets it happened whenever he f*cks up. Remember the Peter Casey interview?! never mentioned again.

On the other hand when he does half acceptable interview, he talks about it for weeks on end.

I'm surprised they had to suffer that abuse but twitter is a cesspit for abuse as we all know.
On another note,I think Lidl are trying too hard with the ads at the moment..the mental health theme at the moment with the sister asking the brother what's up is totally cringe...you'd never have that conversation in the aisle of a supermarket.

a pity they wouldn't do more about the "mintil hilth" of their own employees http://franklludwig.com/lidl.html
