You Raise Me Up: The Late Late Show-Friday 3rd December

Pelvis Parsley · 03-12-2021 10:44am #1

What is it that should normally have a short shelf life, but lingers on and on ad infinitum? Boy bands and LL Toy Shows, ladies and jellybeans!

In this evening's toy show post mortem (Hobbidy, if you're reading, don't get TOO excited), as well as Westlife getting down off their stools, and rubbing their aching backs, the programme features something called toy show "breakout stars", in other words, an excuse for Team Montrosia to milk the thing for another couple of months until they can start banging on about the next one.

"Back with a brand-new album Wild Dreams and a hugely anticipated stadium tour for 2022, chart toppers Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan will be live in-studio to perform their latest single Starlight."

And.

"The breakout stars of the Late Late Toy Show, DJ Calum and his Hype-Man Jackson, will be back with Ryan Tubridy to follow up on their explosive performance last Friday night!

With appearance offers flying in, the lads have had a busy week."

The sport slot this week features wimmins soccer. A great bunch of gals no doubt. Himself will have the wikipedia page printed out and on the desk for reference.

"Ryan will also talk to members of Ireland's women's football team who defeated Georgia 11-0 this week.

Ciara Grant, Saoirse Noonan, Denise O'Sullivan and Savannah McCarthy will reflect on their record-breaking win as the dream of World Cup qualification comes within touching distance."

The misery/hand lotion segment this week follows, not going to spend any time on this paint by numbers cynical opportunism.

"Writer and activist Orla Tinsley will chat to Ryan on the anniversary of her double lung transplant about having received the gift of life from an American donor and will highlight why it's so important for the organ transplant programme to run successfully in Ireland."

Music by a chap called Tom Grennan, who hails from Offaly. Enjoy!

Why has that bloke got a tyre round his neck?

As usual, pretty sh1t show.

JP Liz V1 · 03-12-2021 6:29pm

I like Grennan, a terrier footballer too, Ireland needs him on the pitch 😄

He's going to present it to Westlife and say, " You might need this lads. You're a bit flat there"

Sounds like one to avoid. Oh dear.

Missed last week's show, what happened?

Was Jason Byrne on?

Welsh Megaman · 03-12-2021 9:39pm

Will he hold up a sign saying 'BOO' whenever Ryan speaks?

I don't think the Jacinta's from Ballyfermot wetting themselves about Westlife in the audience need a hype man.

Grown women ffs.

Welsh Megaman · 03-12-2021 9:41pm

Will he hold up a sign saying 'SH1TE' when Westlife are performing?

PsychoPete · 03-12-2021 9:42pm

Westlife, something kind of sad about four men in their 40s still in a boy band

FintanMcluskey · 03-12-2021 9:43pm

Jeasus the keeper is woeful for those goals!

castletownman · 03-12-2021 9:44pm

Some highlights package to advertise the quality of women's football, specifically goalkeeping.

Haven't even qualified for the World Cup like.

There is always one went straight to the goalkeeper

PieOhMy · 03-12-2021 9:46pm

Do you keep the ball when you win a hattrick.

These scores actuslly set the women's game back a lot in my opinion. Who wants to see professionals beating the shite out of school girl amateurs. Not competitive matches hammering people or being hammered. I dno. Diversity.

castletownman · 03-12-2021 9:47pm

Don't think Tubs is much of a grassroots football sort of lad.

Probably only heard of Shelbourne an hour ago.

How does it reflect on all Women's football, they can only beat who they play and it was a good win.

England's mens team beat San Marino 10-0 recently and people didn't question the standards of mens football.

mistersifter · 03-12-2021 9:48pm

"did you feel sorry for your opponent when you were scoring all them goals?"

Sort of thing an aul one would say while watching a match.

A 13 year old boy or 50 year old man would make a better goalkeeper than the one in that clip anyway

Beat they aren't on talkshows because of it though.

Scorelines like that 100% does nothing to help the game.

You do know these scores happen in men's also. Can people not be happy that they did great. Was a good match. Over 4k at the match. But sure its only women ffs

Autosport · 03-12-2021 9:51pm

As a westlife fan I can not wait to see them 😊😊😊

Well England's men team doesn't need publicity but Ireland's women's do.

Also LLS needs guests.

I dont' see what the problem is to be honest, just sounds like begrudgery.

An hour I say it was only at that moment

mistersifter · 03-12-2021 9:51pm

Traveller family go to all the away games.

Makes sense.

I've watched a few of the women's matches lately and they are actualy pretty good at times. They seem to be alot more end to end and action packed than a lot of men's games. That's generalising of course but I was entertained by what I saw. But the goalkeeping is absolutely different from the mens game, as in the quality of goalkeeping is far far far far far far far way way way way way way below the standards of the other positions.

Begrudgery? On Boards?

Welsh Megaman · 03-12-2021 9:53pm

Ten minutes in, and Ryan hasn't asked them about Donald Trump.

Still improvement on the Everton one

Was talking the piss out of Ryan's awkward phrasing of a sporting term, something a competent broadcaster should be comfortable with. Not the game itself. Was a good match ya I agree. I can be happy. You'd have to ask people if they can be happy, I don't know.
