150KTubs - future career in Virgin Radio and other soulful pursuits **Mod: Read OP**

Conparing Tubridy to Eamonn Casey is nasty enough, my friend. You should probably learn to moderate your opinions a little better. Anger is a deeply negative emotion to have to carry around with you all the time.

Leave my mother out of it please. There’s no need to be so nasty. It’s a sign you’ve lost whatever argument you were trying to make. Talking about anger with a professional might genuinely be useful for you. Exercise, meditation, positive thinking, hobbies, social interactions also help. You just need to chill out.

Has he posted today? Didn’t see that. More Instagram posts and a run down of whatever Ryan said on radio?

Never said that at all, dude. Haven’t a clue who anyone is here. Had to close my previous account because some mentally deranged oddball did manage to find out who I was. Hopefully he is getting the help he so badly needs. I decided against going to the police.

Again, you are resorting to nastiness. This is a silly little thread about a radio presenter. If it’s making you angry, you are obsessively listening to his show despite despising Tubridy, you make things up in your head then I’d just suggest you find some way to chill out better. This stuff really isn’t important.

Classic projection. Says he doesn't care but just can't let go. Foolin' nobody.

Look regardless of you or I think Ryan has a solid core of fans that will welcome him back from exile, just like Eamon Casey had.

Any other inference is entirely yours.

But you closed down your previous account doc, because you were accused of bullying and mocking a poster's mental health.

And also the abominable Tubs and noel made a mess of it all. You defended them until the end. It was comical

Think everyone needs to step back here a bit and cool the jets.

Dude, you are the one going on about my mother. Just leave it off. Make your point without lashing out. You shouldn’t take stuff like this so seriously. It’s not good for you.

Maybe try that if you have an iPhone. If you can’t afford an iPhone and have an android then I’m sure there is something similar available.

Haven’t a clue who Geraldine O’Leary is.

I like boards and I like this thread, but no one contributing should be under the illusion that it’s in anyway relevant or influential. As I said, boards was last relevant about 15 years ago. Tubridy isn’t reading this thread, Joe isn’t reading the Liveline thread and Simon Harris isn’t reading the FG thread. It’s a site that is primarily used by people 40+ with conservative and contrarian viewpoints. I’m maybe a bit of an outlier in that I’m just about under 40, liberal and optimistic about people and the world.

This is not an important site and the opinions expressed on it aren’t influencing business, political or societal decisions.

Bob have you taken any interest in any of the on goings at RTÉ? You do know that its not just about Ryan Tubridy. And that much of the fallout comes from the higher executives at the broadcaster and their mismanagement of the national broadcaster (5 were fired from their positions, they were on 7 figure sums of money, were they wonderful?).

For example like you they thought that they needed to pay very high wages to keep Tubs and co in RTÉ in case they left the station/channel, they thought that this would result in the exit of huge numbers of high profile presenters.

However, over the last ten years with the exit of such presenters RTÉ has seen no effect on their audience numbers, indeed as you so eloquently put it such presenters can have a successful careers outside of RTÉ possibly earning more than what they earned in RTÉ, this move would then allow RTÉ to allocate their prized programming spots to new presenters / actors / writers who might then move up in the broadcaster and then might consider moving from the broadcaster on to other rewarding career options either in the commercial sector in Ireland or potentially to the US or to London. This is the type of career they have.

I'd argue that you are more conservative than most here on boards, if anything most poster here are to the Left of politics and almost any centrist or potentially capitalist view is quickly moderated.

I don't consider this to be the site to change anything, I put my views up largely on the broadcast sector in this country, which I know a good bit about, I might be wrong some of the time and I will admit that. And I like to read other people's view, weather I agree with them or not.

I can agree some of the posts on this thread are just not very nice*, but other are simple critics of the presenter (which in his line of work he would expect to get) and others are simply putting forward that he wasn't worth his price in gold at RTÉ. These are just broad views.

You have yet to state yours on Tubrity as a presenter and his new show, if you even ever thought of listening.

PS I don't think boards was ever all that relevant. Its enjoyable to use. And why get at people if they enjoy something?

*too strong a word (hateful, I don't think anyone is being as such).

How do you hover over a pint? Would the downdraught of the rotor disturb the foamy top?
