There is a lot of very bitter dicks on here tonight
Its a nice program for Gay, yes a bit cheesy, and yes a lot of the guests are greased
But leave the cynicism at the door lads

Atlantic Dawn

Joe hasn't the EyePhone with him tonight by the looks of it.

Rock Lesnar

Joe with the last word, no surprise

leahyl

Sheesh Pat Kenny really getting his digs into RTÉ tonight, now he’s turned on the dinner ladies in the canteen :-P

Ally Dick

Joe coming out with more humorless guff again. He has no funny bone really

Andrew00

Joe always wants the attention on him

SEPT 23 1989

Duffy really is making a total show of himself since yesterday

Joe just quoting “four weddings and a funeral “....nothing more profound for us Joseph??

Came from a generation, like my parents, who were brought up in a time money was scant and you held on to everything you had for life.

alan partridge aha

Mary mental case Mcaleese and Bob I hated Ireland Geldof

Duffy couldn't leave books out of if.

Cut off before he could plug his own.

Was a poor choice of a poem in all fairness, it reads like the romantic thoughts of a lovestruck girl.

You know he’s been fecking waiting to get a chance to give RTE a good kicking.

lawred2

What a load of shoite.. too many self important people..

Except for Mike. He's a legend. A warm man with genuine wit.

I don't really get the canteen jibes tonight? The main show these days can be ridiculous and proper canteen jobs.

But to be fair, this is a tribute to Gay Byrne and RTE is where he spent the majority of his life and a proxy for entering people's living rooms for decades. Of course all his old RTE mates and colleagues are going to be on.

They're hardly going to have Meryl Streep in studio with the ghost of Peter Ustinov skyping in from Heaven.

Plus wasn't the poor fecker fleeced in the early 80s by one of his best friends (grandfather of the current housing Minister)
And then got majorly wedgied during the recession.

The advertising slots will have been sold and need to be fulfilled I'd say.

A rather odd poem to pick.

A hidden love story no one ever knew about.

Herself is watching this, and I'm just back in the room.

Adverts...... Nice to see RTE aren't cashing in on Gaybo one last time or anything.....

He is such a prcik, so annoying.

Joe would want to shut up & let Murphy & Kenny (real broadcasters) take over. And either of them would be preferable to bloody Tubs presenting this!

I spent most of today wondering about the lad on the RIP thread who found out yesterday that Dermot Morgan is no longer with us

So do I, I think some saw him as the poor man's Gay Byrne but he is his own man.

And Gay hated it when Rose Of Tralee contestants read out poems as their 'talent' piece.

Mike Murphy off air is a complete ignorant bastard!

Didn’t that Gaberial Byrne come to do some charity gig for a children’s charity and get into trouble for insisting on staying in the shelbourne hotel

The missus is from Scotland. Knows pretty much none of these people.

Her only two comments were that the few clips of Gay Byrne showed how bad Tubridy is and that Mike Murphy seems the nicest of the lot of them.. least interested in the sound of his own voice
