Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Jeff2

Today was great, I'll have to listen back again. I have it recorded.

I'd say there will be no staying over night in the hotel for funny Friday.

Govt has set floor on room rent nationwide. €800pm to rent a room to a Ukrainian refugee

My mate had one, paying 325 for it, while at the same time I was sharing with one couple(do not ever share with a couple!) and another guy, for only 375 extra. I really envied him his bedsit. Yes, it was small, but that just means less to clean, and it was just him.

One Who Waits...

This is this song Joe was semi-ranting about?

Each to their own and dat, so to speak, but this is banal.

Re Cork letting scam I can’t post links from FB, but just look up “Cork, Ireland, rent a room etc..” there are several groups with the most dodgy looking postings imaginable and I think this girl might have posted there, too lazy to trawl through it.

Joe should get Brian on The Meaning Of Life. An archbishop is soft going and a phone it in effort from all involved. Everyone just backslapping each other. Better having a shoe with a host tackling a troublesome and challenging guest or issue. You collect tgst easy money Joe.

"After Mr Warfield claimed the RTE star 'never heard' the song' before, Mr Duffy told him he's 'sick of hearing it' and it's 'brutal, old rubbish'."

Pretty disgraceful and unprofessional to set up a musician and bring him on air just to insult his music, 10,000 in Belfast did not think it was "brutal, old rubbish".

How many will Duffy get at the Titanic centre?

Hope RTÉ get plenty of complaints about Duffy's conduct and he is made apologise.

like masturbation, it's lonesome, but it's clean !!!

Expunge

Only 2 more years of these occasional Duffy eruptions left, at a cost of only 702,000 in "fees".

A bleedin' bargain.

What will we do afterwards 🤷‍♀️ if we ourselves are still around. Say if the bid for de Áras fails? I’m imagining, if he has the health and stamina they might have him on two days a week in the role of Liveline host, when he’s not on frequent holidays, as he eases into retirement, with time to write more death bukes.

Who would be a good contender to replace Joe long term?

Fair play to The Dufficer he horsed it into Warfield.

That auld crap went out of fashion in the 1970s.

Seems there’s still a few neantherthals about the place though.

They don’t seem to have gone away……yet

Yeah, Warfield well capable of hanging himself if the Dufficer would just let him spout his sh1te.

You can abhor the IRA's sectarian murder campaign without being a West Brit.

You can abhor the murderous behaviour of British troops without being a Provo sympathiser.

Just listened to it on the Player. I don't like the Wolfe Tones' schtick, but Duffy was totally unprofessional today, at his worst. Talking over Warfield, shouting him down when Warfield made a point that Duffy couldn't counteract. Snarling away about how bad the song is. Desperate stuff.

Then accusing Warfield of making money off the Troubles when Duffy himself made a fortune off of plagarising another book on the Troubles. Appaling stuff and you'd never hear a broadcaster on a state station behaving like that. it's gutter broadcasting of the type some inflammatory podcasts and minor radio stations in the US do.

I had a listen to the podcast on the way home, not sure if it was the sound production but there was something suspect about "Aileen"

While everyone else sounded like they were talking through a telephone line, she sounded as if she was sitting right beside Duffy in the studio.

KevRossi

Listen to this for about 10 seconds from about 11.25 on. Worth cutting it out and using it as a clip. Then Duffy will tell you he keeps his opinions to himself. Pure venom in that voice.

Kev. That was epic radio today, good hard banging on all sides with very few holds barred.

Contrast that with uhmming and aaahing and the staccato delivery of Hannon in a set up like today!!

I know who I would prefer to listen to.

Could you imagine Hannon wading in like the Dufficer did today… never in a million years.

What it did or course was garner immense publicity for the Wolf Tones and you can bet they will milk it

to the limit….. and that’s fair enough from their point of view.

Anyone think it had a bit of a bang of ‘staged’ to it?

Uhmmmm…

furiousox

No matter which side of the argument you are on, he was an unprofessional pig ignorant disgrace today.

steinbock123

I was driving today so couldn’t post until now. People ask me why I listen to Fatteen when I dislike him so much. I reply that I listen to him every day if I can because he’s SO bad, he’s good.

Well today, he was SOOOOOOOOOO BAD, and condescending, and pig ignorant, rude, impatient, overbearing , prejudiced and petty, and so so so unprofessional. If I did my job like that, I’d be sacked before close of business today.

But does Joe give a shite ? Does he f**k!! He’s Gay Byrnes’ anointed golden child, and obviously thinks (or knows) he is untouchable, or so it seems. He’s stealing €351,000 per annum and getting away with it.

Now I wouldn’t have much time for the Tones, Warfield, or “the ra”, but Joes approach was all wrong, he had his ammo lined up, and started firing the moment Warfield opened his mouth. Compare Joes attitude today to the day when the RTE/Tubs sh1t hit the fan. Joe was quiet spoken, patient, and never shouted at anyone, and let everyone say their piece without interruption, even though several people got on air to excoriate RTE, and all who sail in her (something that would normally set him off).

What a difference today.

That really makes my blood boil as a rural parent looking to get basic room to rent for a child looking to study in Dublin. My local TDs are going to get an absolute lashing. The fookers or their canvassers better not come near here ever again.

INTELLIGENT, INTELLIGENT lyrics. With real venom in his voice.

I noticed that aswell, I believe he congratulated her for calling via WhatsApp at the start, could explain why it sounded clearer

Tíocfaidh Eileen mentioned that she lives beside the Gaelic Grounds, which has sold out for the Wolfe Tones concert next week, she may look forward to hearing her favourite song booming away

Bit of Séan South aswell I’d say
