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

I would like to see a video of him explaining why he didn’t return the money to the Irish tax payers having said he would return it.

Until I see his explanation I have no choice but to assume he is a liar.

Seems like more of a ‘man living off the people’ rather than being a man of the people.

What is your problem?

I don't need to get a grip on anything and frankly your tone and involvement doesn't smell too good and funnily enough comes at a point when I mentioned that I would go to a moderator or the guy that runs Boards.ie.

Do you have a problem with that?

Because it sounds to me like you do. I am not the one that needs to get a grip.

My purpose of that post was to highlight that Tubridy is stating one thing in his publication but in reality has no intention of following through or shooting the breeze (as he puts it) with anyone however polite or impolite they are with him - especially if the questioning became awkward. Let me be clear to avoid any confusion, I am not condoning the way they addressed him or asked him the question. I am pointing out that Tubridy is making out that he would engage and answer x,y and z. Maybe he is talking crap as humberklog has stated but it is disingenuous and misleading of him to publicise or paint himself in a certain light when in reality such a scenario is not only very unlikely to happen but the chances are he would not engage with anyone anyway.

Feels like we are waaayyyyy off topic.

It’s a shame that someone had access to him like that and wasted the opportunity with nonsense talk.

It was a good opportunity to ask the question that the Irish people want answered - Where is the money you owe the Irish public Ryan ? It looks like theft Ryan so please explain. Why haven’t you paid us back the money like you said you would ?

Then leave the space to allow him to address that singular point only.

Does "Nothing Burger" mean nothing to you???

The abominable Doc would not be happy with your post.

TBH my own experience of RTÉ, at this point I think I should door stop some executives, I love to door stop one of their former executive who's out on sick leave at the moment. But I am too nice. I think also that those in the media that have played along with his sickness at this point should really consider even contacting him for an interview.

Nothing meaningful ever came from RTÉ executives, so I only imagine much like everyone else they are normal citizens pretending to do some type of work. Can you imagine Dee Forbes was RTÉ's de-facto Editor in Chief !

If he's as wealthy as some would have us believe on this thread then he'd have no need to draw attention unto himself, unless he craves attention, good and bad.

If a dark cloud of public opinion hung over me for engaging in the barter account irregularities I'd retire from the limelight if I were as well off as he is reported to be.

It is my opinion and not a factual assertion that he participated in the barter account subterfuge because his ego would not allow him to take a pay cut along with his colleagues because he felt he's the star that keeps them in work.

The public goodwill that funded his basic pay and support staff has taken a major knock from the revelations around the barter account subterfuge.

It's not over by a long shot but his ego still has him believing he did not participate and benefit from subterfuge.

What did you predict exactly Doc Bobson???

Did you predict that Callan would have more listeners than Tubs did a year ago?
