RTEs Review Of The Year

Cork

Last nights review of the year was dreadful. They kept chopping in bewteen the 10 best and 10 worst polls.

The best & Worst events were determined by openion poll. Probably a list where respondents were asked to number a list of events from 1 to 10.

It was then supported by RTE news clips & some views by many RTE "stars" including Marty Willian, Des Cahill, Marian Finucine etc.

I did'nt even know it was on....and I doubt I'd have bothered anyway. RTE are truly clueless about "hip 'n happening" telly (daddy-o!).

Joe Duffy saying that while he enjoyed last years great summer he wanted a more stereotypical miserable summer in 2004 reaffirmed the position I took after his handling of the Irish welcome home party in the phoenix park after the world cup. The man is a wankspanner.
And why did a load of idiots who knew sweet FA about any of the issues surrounding the Iraq war manage to get their clips in at number 9? I had forgotten just how embarrasing it was to see Irish people walking down O`Connel Street with their Not In My Name banners,thinking they were great because theyd come out to support what by that stage was more of a trendy cause than anything. The anti war protests meant something when Damon Albarn and a handful of the public undertook some of the first marches in London,and probably a few in Dublin by the likes of the socialist workers party. Once every 2 bit z list celebrity or artists trying more to promote their own poor selling albums than anything else started to get involved,well,if I were Bush I would have started the war to spite them. Did RTE not realise that the fact maybe 10% of these protestors turned out to march DURING the war mean that by and large it was a pile of people trying to be trendy? ****. Few of them could give a sh1te about Iraq now,so why show it? Disgraceful. It was not the deep south in the late 60s Im afraid. It was a load of Irish people who had a half clue which revolved around the sentence"Bush is a mad bastard".

What got worst event of the year?

To be honest, I actually liked the programme. Wouldn't mind seeing it done every year.

Worst event was ther continuing crime/gangland murders. I missed the best event, but I'm guessing it was probably the Special Olympics?
And does anyone know if it's on the RTE website anywhere?

Curiously I can find Reviews of the Year from 1998-2001 on their site but nothing since.
