Derek Mooney Show MOD WARNING IN 1st POST

Bobba Fett · 24-05-2012 12:49pm

Haha I think it's pathetic that you went back through all of my posts there!

I've said that in one instance where the trip in question was *not* sponsored. I texted the show last year at 51551 and received a call from a producer saying that trips like that were budgeted for and it was quite normal for shows to go on one or two foreign OB's a year.

Also I have made no venomous remarks about John Murray's sexuality as many here have done on the Derek Mooney thread (this is where the adjective 'venomous' is appropriate, and not where you have quoted my previous post on the JMS thread). My comments on the JMS thread were not venomous as you have suggested.

For the record, I don't think it is appropriate for shows to be doing unsponsored foreign OB's in these tight times, although I will not regurgitate that opinion ad nauseum on the radio forum in a pathetic attempt to increase my post count like others here do.

*EDIT* Also I didn't mention licence fee paying in that JMS post either.

In fairness, you only have 18 posts. Not exactly a gargantuan effort to read them all and quote from them.

Plus your nick stands out.

Yea, all 18 posts. Took me all morning. :rolleyes:

By the way, I wasn't alluding to the sponsorship/non-sponsorship of RTE shows going abroad. I was just pointing out that you said pretty much the same thing about a different show.

Derek sounds like someone was 'up all night'

Yakuza · 24-05-2012 3:22pm

It's ironic that Derek appears stand-offish when it comes to the mature (26 is mature??) Jedward fans ("it's a bit wierd, but whatever you're into") when he fawns over them like a giggling schoolgirl.

JonathanAnon · 24-05-2012 3:40pm

"The party really started as mickey arrived"...

I'd say Derek is sorry he missed that night..

Yakuza · 24-05-2012 3:49pm

He sounds like a nice bloke, a bit of crack to be around. *runs off to become a MJH groupie*

JonathanAnon · 24-05-2012 4:17pm

His voice sounded really good, but that crowded house just didnt really work with just the guitar backing..

darkman2 · 24-05-2012 4:28pm

Is Derek Mooney gay?

Certainly not. What gave you that idea?

darkman2 · 24-05-2012 4:44pm

I don't know. He just keeps going on about Jedward all the time and the tits in his garden.

Who cares. Is Derek Mooney a very average broadcaster? Yes.

Maybe he is actually a pre-pubescent girl who likes nature,

Yakuza · 25-05-2012 3:06pm

First words out of Richard's mouth - more fcuking pedantry.
(And Eánna seemed just to go along with Aengus and then was silent when the All-Knowing Richard corrected him in those dulcet (not patronising in the slightest, honest) tones of his).

davidindublin · 25-05-2012 3:07pm

Oh God not Aengus again.......Life is too short to listen to him ...Bye

JonathanAnon · 28-05-2012 3:19pm

Oh ffs... Derek is so fkn petty...

Bullseye1 · 28-05-2012 3:21pm

Don't understand how the guy has an audience.

telekon · 28-05-2012 3:23pm

He has to pat himself on the back because no one else will. Pathetic.

my friend · 28-05-2012 3:23pm

Derek reckons Jedward have 'huge career opportunities ahead of them' in Eastern Europe

He didnt say in what, I assume gay porn?

europa11 · 28-05-2012 3:35pm

Off the Missus Grimes Boys bandwagon...onto the Missus Brr-owan's Boyas one.

And how brave of him to criticise the Azerbaijani regime, once he got off the plane from Baku.

Cretinous.

Lapin · 28-05-2012 4:12pm

Brek gets to interview John Delaney of the FAI ahead of Euro 2012?

Whats the first thing she asks him - Have you packed enough underwear ?

What kind of a frigging eejit of a question is that.:mad:

The Week in Radio in Evening Herald by Patrick Freyne: http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/murphy-paints-a-poor-picture-of-montrose-3118757.html

" On Wednesday, Derek Mooney dedicated 10 minutes of a Jedward-centric Eurovision love-in to discussing Azerbaijani human rights abuse. Karen Fricker told tales of repression, blackmail and surveillance. Derek said that he'd spoken to a local man who was happy with his lot (possibly hereditary president Ilham Aliyev -- Derek didn't say).
"Scratch under the surface of any society and you will find things that aren't very pleasant I'm sure," he said, soothingly.
He'll be presenting 'Prime Time Azerbaijan' within the year. "

Thank fùck the sausagefest is over. Pure tripe, with two eejits.

A Brek/Standard Mooney Show one tbh. I'd expect nothing less from her, sadly she thinks she's being "great craic" when coming up with such inanities....and remember there's some production team over-seeing all this

They honestly have no standards whatsoever. It's like anyone with a smidgen of taste or sense in RTE just fecks off shortly after the News at 1:30 and leaves the place in the hands of morons like Mooney, Brek, Aengus, Eanna...and of course the one, the only "I'll set me own agenda" Joe.

A team of trained chimps would do a better job.

Was listening today to hear what he would say after his shameful partisan support of Jedward both before Ireland's eurosong and up until Saturday. He didn't even mention them until 3.16. How can a man who has previously admitted to having not bought a single recording of any music in 25 years take such an interest in a music competition? The fact that he is such good friends with Louis Walsh means that his incessant indulgence of Jedward and Mary Byrne should not be permissable on the state broadcaster.

Definitely agree about jumping onto Mrs Brown bandwagon. Both he and Brek texted the actor who plays the gay fella after they won a Bafta last night. RTE really is a rotten institution, constantly promoting their mates.

wp_rathead · 29-05-2012 3:07pm

...did I actually just hear Derek go "Say what you want about Azerbaijan but the place was spotless"...

The mind boggles

Yakuza · 29-05-2012 3:17pm

More waste of air from Brek. At least Derek is becoming less circumspect about hiding his disdain for her.

The way she just blurts in (and is kept on the air) with these stream-of-consciousness non sequiturs is just mind-boggling.

What's her purpose - to make Mooney look competent?

le la rat · 29-05-2012 3:18pm

He said it alright. sher that's whats important. At least they clean up after their killing sprees

Thank goodness for Newstalk.

Brek got a chance to sing. Sweet jesus h christ.

Derek is sorry if he is "boring the tits off you", and smoking with a bunch of lads in Baku.

Maybe Mooney should go to live permanently in Azerbaijan? I wonder how long he'd last if he went on the public airwaves and started complaining about their country? :rolleyes:

If the local councils enforced the litter by-laws there mightn't be as much litter about the place, and say what you like about Ireland, I'd far prefer to live in a country where we might have dirty streets but freedom of speech, rather than a country where the streets are spotless but nobody has any right to speak out about their Government. :mad:

Itssoeasy · 29-05-2012 3:24pm

Is brek getting her quota for the month in late ?

Itssoeasy · 29-05-2012 3:27pm

National anthem time. I actually do know the anthem words but learnt them myself.

HeidiHeidi · 29-05-2012 3:35pm

What's he on about??? They DO SO show the words of the national anthem in Lansdowne Road! On the big screens. Have emailed him to inform him of same. (and the fact that I HATE having to call it the Aviva!)

Harry Angstrom · 29-05-2012 3:39pm

Our current National Anthem is very poor, both musically and lyrically. A National Anthem is meant to stir the soul. Amhrán na Bhfiann never did anything for me. This would make for a far better National Anthem:

Yakuza · 29-05-2012 3:48pm

This segment is like pulling teeth - Brek and DM are clueless when it comes to music, and this just highlights the fact. (I get the sneaking feeling Fergus is enjoying making a show of them...)

That didnt stir my soul much. A guy sat on a hedge looking at falcons and singing. The Americans would love it though.

But I agree, the one we have is poor.

Cardinal Richelieu · 30-05-2012 1:51pm

What! No comments on the Nuala Carey segment from Monday show about her fascination with the Phoenix Park Murders. Frankly the most poorly researched segment I ever heard on Irish Radio, Derek "So are you related to the Carey guy who organised the murders? Nuala: "Well I must be, I remember when growing up looking at the phone book and there was only 4 Careys in it." She read a book and the organizer of the murders had the same surname so she suddenly was an expert. She hadn't a clue.

Musically and lyrically poor by reference to what exactly?

Amhrán na Bhfiann works perfectly well. Our anthem will and should never, ever, be "A Nation Once Again".

By peoples opinion.

Not so much.

Agreed. It is not the right tune, however, I really don't think, as a neutral country "We are the soldiers of fortune", in a very dour tone is the right one either.

This is probably the most appropriate anthem for Ireland.

Brek off to the politics wing of RTÉ? If only!

Dirigent · 06-06-2012 6:41am

For a show that lasts less than 90 minutes in mid afternoon, the "Mooney" show must be the most overstaffed programme in history. Firstly, you've got the eponimous creep, Derek, with his lovely female assistants, Brek and Catriona, then Olin, then the standby creep Aengus, then Richard and Eanna. And that's not counting the regular, and sometimes interesting, guests like Jim Wilson and Niall Hatch. And the team of researchers who probably won't read this.

SEPT 23 1989 · 06-06-2012 3:17pm

Stammertime

Cardinal Richelieu · 07-06-2012 3:16pm

Brek seems to get a slot within the first 30 mins then disappears as the show goes on. Must have to go collect the kids.

europa11 · 07-06-2012 3:43pm

Brek has just shared the news with the rest of the nation that last Sunday she bought a fanny pack! :eek:

Sometimes too much information can be a bad thing.
