    Old thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055091114

    Welcome to the new home of the Ray D'Arcy show discussion. :)

    I just copy pasta the old poll.


    Moderator warnings from old thread apply:
    Mod Note:

    There is no reason to discuss the presenters personal life here. This thread is to do with the Radio Show itself and not the private life of Ray D'Arcy. Anyone found to be dragging threads off topic will incur at least a ban for 24 hours

    Splinter

    Mod Note 2:
    What this thread is about; it's to talk about the show but if all people are willing to provide is a bucket of bile and a mob opinion of negativity I'd suggest that they are in the wrong place because this is not 4Chan...

    Nody

    Mod Note 3:
    Right; lets drop the question of Childcare/entitlement etc. for now and get back to the topic at hand; Ray's radio show (I'm aware it's a spin off from the interview but it's going a bit too much off topic). When it comes back we can start it all over again (and if you wish to continue the argument I strongly recommend the Irish Economy forum)

    Mod note 4:
    With the news of Ray's departure from Today FM please keep the thread discussion civil. This thread will close once Ray takes up his new slot on RTE Radio 1.

    This thread smells funny. :(

    Hey hulla, any chance you'd get one of Mark 00's old posts and copy it in as the OP? Seeing "The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread" with your username under it in my CP just won't look right. :P

    Also, I know the old poll was just copied and pasted, but I think there should be an option like; "Still listen but the show needs a good shake-up... get the finger out Ray!"

    In light of the new thread I decided to tune back in this morning. If there isn't a celebrity chef, comedian, singer song-writer, running, cancer story and "my kids did this, that & the other" talk then I will be very disappointed with you hullaballoo.

    See this current segment is why the cult of darcy is alive and well. Some bint is in Australia at a friends wedding and is surprising her by putting her on the phone to Darcy. On her wedding day. Oh the magic :rolleyes:

    I think the people who voted "Get off the air" should be obliged to suggest a presenter who they think would be better. While some of his stand-ins can be decent, I'd only want them in small doses. So I can't think of anyone except possibly Sean Moncrieff. Dunno.

    So, I haven't voted yet - casting this vote will be a huge moment in my life and has to be considered seriously as it will probably be another 7 years before I can vote again. A bit like the presidency! :D

    But I'll probably go with "Still listen but the show needs a good shake-up... get the finger out Ray"!

    D'arcy just read out an "irate" text (not sure what if was about) and said "we should do a show full of irate texts", To which Will responded "We Are".

    I bet ye are Will.

    I tuned out at 10.30 when some teacher came on to play an uplifting song. Apparently she rang in yesterday and some poll was arranged which included, surprise, surprise, Paolo Nutini!!

    I tried but just couldn't stick it.

    you forgot the 'stop, stop, eject'. Just happened.

    "Stop, stop. I dont want that, where's that song gone. Oh there it is. hopefully this works, there we go."

    Ray has had his time. When I listen, it seems like he isn't even interested in the show himself. The sighing and moaning is getting worse from him. When Alison Curtis presented it in August, I thought she was brilliant. Very interesting to listen to, can interview an array of guests (and she lets them talk,) plays great music. I think Will even preferred her; the playlist he created each week was brilliant. In summary, Curtis is an all rounder, who is more than capable of the job.

    Just looking at the winners of the PPI awards, Today FM won station of the year but I don't think Ray won anything this year, in the photo he's front and centre and as the big draw in the station that's probably only right. Anyway looking at that photo got me wondering how Ray is perceived by his colleagues and workmates. I just wonder does he switch off the preachy health food, raise your kids my way stuff when he turns off the microphone or is he a bit happier when around the office.

    I'm not 100% sure but i think there was some animosity between him and Ray Foley. He doesn't strike me as the type pf guy who'd be very friendly with fun guys like Ian Dempsey or Tony Fenton either. There does be banter between a lot of DJ's on the station before they hand over to the next guy but there's no fun and frolics between Raymond and anyone else.

    Yeah it's very like that apart from the awkward forced chat with the news reader after the nine o clock news

    I like Ray and his show but I do think he is a frustrated t.v. presenter who's had to make do with radio where as Alison wants to be on radio. Therein lies the difference and it shows.
