    Ahhh jaysus - nearly 2k posts

    Is there a tl;dr?

    Haven't been able to follow the thread this afternoon but have had the TV on in the background.

    If I have one takeout from the proceedings its this: Bakhurst has to lay down a marker to the licence payers and NK and has to get rid of Tubridy this Friday ( if Tubs' dramatic statement is to be believed).

    Patrick Kielty has the LLS covered and Callan is doing fine on Radio 1. So there's no need for Ryans particular set of skills.

    If Bakhurst doesn't fire him then he's on the back foot straight away. Fire him and he sets a marker for RTE employees and us.

    Tubridy made a mistake by mentioning it. His admission that he's willing to return the €150,000 also means he's running scared.

    Make hay while the sun shines is my opinion.

    Agreed Kelly is done after this and it would not surprise me if Revenue take a look at what invoices he has passed through each company he owns, given he basically said he puts them through whichever one is convenient at the time.

    Howvever I believed what they presented tody in the pack of documens in erms of who knew what when. The circle to square is why Brenda O Keefe denied knowledge when her name was all over the email. She has been utterly thrown under the bus here today when she came across as very credible last week. Something isnt right. Is it semantics? Did they walk back the agreement after that email? So by the time she left she understood that it was not part of the agreement and then Dee Forbes honored it?

    They should probably just go with a health warning "The people on this committee are here because they have been overlooked for other more responsible roles'

    Tubridy would make you sick.

    RBB was very tame when compared to his usual offerings

    Backhurst was on Today FM and it's obvious Tubs will not be back. He hasn't figured out how to get rid yet. He also said he did not authorize the statement from RTE this morning. Still a **** show in RTE. He did say he has coffee with NK in the past!

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Constantly looking for sympathy. Pathetic.

    "This isn't a pity party". Stop acting like it is, then.

    Only caught a few minutes here and there, what would summary be?

    Was it a good day for Tubs and NK?

    Or did they come out of it bad?



  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭tromtipp


    Richard BB made it sound as though poor Kelly got cornered into dodgy accountancy by his very greedy client, with or without the connivance of RTE. It's interesting watching them all turn on each other.


    I think the country would be a better place if we got rid of RT, NK and their collaborators.

    It was more in hope and maybe for the first time ever I would have to give him some props. Well that didn't happen

    Tubridy wants a whole 'new world order'

    And about 300k a year

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    this would make you puke



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,333 ✭✭✭Frank Grimes


    Tubridy is going to fix RTÉ, and hates being called "the talent". He must be working on a new book.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,387 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    Tubridy is insufferable.

    The only way RTE can move forward is without these snakes, RT and NK, and the executive, to build something new.

    Their time is done. Shady deals no more.
