    I agree, also she's an auful girl for name dropping.

    That woman should not be allowed near a microphone, nevermind near one that broadcasts nationwide!

    I really can't stand her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,495 ✭✭✭chalkitdown1


    Her scratchy voice tends to grate after a while. I enjoyed her stint doing the breakfast show with Rick o Shea last year, though.

    Is that Jo Brands daughter, or is it Jo 20-odd years ago.

    Not a fan. Sounds like a breathless teenager. She is a touch vapid as well. Much prefer Jenny Houston or the much-improved Nikki Hayes.

    Joel is just his middle name isn't it? No need for a hyphen at all.

    She is probably the most annoying person in any form of broadcasting.. She talks rubbish, she plays rubbish, she has a horrible voice and, looking at that picture, a horrible face too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 944 ✭✭✭Big Balls


    What the f*ck has what she looks like got to do with her on air abilities??

    I can assure you that you'd be shocked when putting a face to the voice with most DJs (and I am one!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Absolutely awful DJ, a disgrace to the national radio station.

    She was poached back from 98fm over a year ago, Id say they were gutted to see her leave LOL.

    She'd be more suited to Tipp FM or some other random bogger radio station that might appreciate her instead of subjecting the whole country to her unique style of "Hows she cuttin" drivel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Táck


    maybe she should leave the airwaves and become a stunt double for hayley in coronation street...

    some people in here just have no idea really.. what sort of a general sweep is that? "bogger radio station" ? Ruth Scott may not be any sort of a smooth disc jockey or go out of her way to go along with any 'smashey nicey' approach. she's a personality presenter, she is being herself. She's from Co.Roscommon which to some people, who maybe have never been outside the pale, is in the west of ireland and yes most definately 'how's she cuttin' country.. anything the west side of lucan is, of course. grow up and learn to appreciate radio for what it is, and when you've listened to every "bogger radio station" in the country, come back to me and i'll listen to your stupid ideas about radio in the rest of the country. and probably throw throw them back in your face. muppet.

    PMSL. How big is that chip on your shoulder?

    Thats a shoite argument about listening to all radio stations....AMB. Have you listened to them all? WTF does that prove ! Im talking about Ruth Scott not the rest of the country. Ive actually listened to plenty of bogger stations and some of them have TOTR DJ's, she just happens to be shoite. Print off her pic and blow kissies to her if you think shes so great.

    i don't understand most of that message because you're using some sort of shorthand that i'm not familiar with. If it's just Ruth Scott you're speaking about, why bring "random bogger radio stations" in to it. I don't know anything about you, so i'm not going to generalise like you did yourself. but you obviously have no idea about local/community radio on any level, so please don't generalise until you can give solid examples and reasons for your statements.

    You're kinda shooting yourself in the foot with that argument to be fair.

    If she's on a national station, she's meant to appeal to the entire country. Now I'm not saying whether Ruth is "hows she cuttin'" or whether she isn't but a presenter cannot broadcast on a national station with the aim of appealing to people in Roscommon alone. The same way a Dublin presenter would not present in a style familiar with the natives of Sligo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    Didn't she originally get into the industry through winning a DJ for a week competition?

    According to the biography on the 2fm website

    Ruth's first ever radio show was conducted in a mobile home outside the student bar for Rag Week Radio, Ruth posted a casette tape to the hallowed halls of RTÉ 2FM for the DJ For A Day competition in 1995. She didn't win but it inspired a love of talking to herself in a darkened room!

    Major LOL at this part !

    Radio Luxembourg, Radio Caroline & the BBC all turned Ruth down when she offered to do work experience with them but thankfully Shannonside, Northern Sound, Radio Kerry & RTÉ 2FM obliged. Ruth spent her days happily licking stamps, making tea & begging to do the newspaper reviews.

    At 415 each day she does "Ruths Truth"...which is supposed to be celeb goss...which basically means she reads the showbiz pages from the dailly mirror and the sun newspapers....grrrr I hate that shoite ! Who gives a hoop! :mad:

    Hi Big Balls!

    Think you might have taken that up incorrectly. It was a sarcastic comment "definately how's she cuttin' " was referring to sizzlers remarks about random bogger local stations. and that was my argument with him/her that there's no need to generalise and would be more helpful to give specific examples etc. I was merely speaking about general peoples thoughts about everywhere west of lucan being bogger country. In relation to Ruth Scott aiming her presentation at people in Co.Roscommon, i never meant anything like that but valid point in what you said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭petals


    I don't think Ruth is that bad. Mind you I can't honestly say I've listened to a full show of hers I tend to be doing stuff at the time she's on. I've listened to the 5.30 take over thing a few times though and it doesn't seem to bad and she seems ok at djing it.




    (djing---is that even a word lol )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,006 ✭✭✭✭The Muppet


    Ruth would not be my cup of tea, The production on her show is very unimaginative as higlighted above with "ruths truth and not forgetting teh 5.30 take over where she plays 3 songs in a row requested by a listener, how original for prime time national radio.

    It is obvious from her links that she lacks the abilty/life experience/personality to hold an audiences attention. IMO she is at best a decent local radio presenter ,she should pinch herself every morning when she wakes up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,495 ✭✭✭chalkitdown1


    Well, at least she's off the air for the next two weeks on holidays. Michael Cahill's in instead of her. I much preffered his old 3-6 drivetime slot before she came along. Pity he's only on-air 2 hours a week nowadays.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 the_porn_baby


    Please help me start some sort of a petition to get this woman(?) off the radio. If I hear her answering another one of her own question again I'll step off a bridge. "Colin Farrell - the guy with the amazing buns? Ya". What a bitch.
    I wouldn't even say they like her in Roscommon so I'd doubt she could even present a local radio show.
    Has anyone ever heard her say something funny?
    I really can't understand why RTE has someone like her doing prime-time radio when they have the likes of Cormac Battle behind the scenes (don't think he ever leaves 2fm's studio's to be honest).

    Perhaps the greatest post ever on any message board in the history of the universe: "F'UCK RUTH SCOTT"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler

    Todays 'Ruthism' (after playin an INXS song):

    "I was such a big INXS fan when I was younger - that Matthew Hutchence. We used to call him a big gorgeous...ya."

    Obviously not that big a fan that she couldn't even remember the lead singer's name....

    Somebody please tell her to stop being Ruth Scott!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    FFS !

    Someone take her off the air !!

    Hasnt Lyric Fm got an open slot.....1am-110am perhaps?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    I wonder if she came on here under the name of ElvisCostello or Petals and is trying to defend herself, that would be HIlarious


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    I abandoned 2FM in the mornings because of that Rick n' Ruth car-crash show. I dont there is a more irritating DJ out there. The whole "ladette" thing she has going is nothing short of grating.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,707 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I'm glad that someone other than me thinks she should be banned from the air. I never listen to the radio, but was subjected to her during the summer because of the radio in work.

    Did anyone hear her phone interview with Melody (sp?) from the Pussycat Dolls when they were supporting Take That? She was talking down to her like she was a 5 year old. It went something like this:

    Ruth: "So, being from the U.S, you wouldn't have known much about Take That. What do you know about them, apart from them being a boy band?"
    Melody: <some basic facts, e.g. member names, records sold>
    Ruth: "Wwwoooooooowwwwww, verrrrry good!
    Melody: <hangs up>
    Ruth: "Hello? Hello, Melody? Oh dear, shes probably very busy and must prepare for the show tonight"

    :D

    Oh, my god!

    Thanks be to god i'm not the only one who thinks she's crap.
    Ruth and Larry Gogan don't even belong in the same sentence.

    She's rude, amateur, an air head and she thinks her sense of humour is funny.
    When she has callers on the show she can be so rude to them, i often thought who the hell does she think she is. Its soooooooo amateur.
    When will 2fm lose her??
    And whats the story with the fanning show moving it over to radio 1?
    Is 2fm on a suicide mission?
    mind you dave fanning can get under my skin with all the Morrissey he plays.
    i just never get what all the fuss is about.

    While were on the subject of most annoying presenters what about your one from the Sunday world "gossip and show biz" collum i think its Amanda Brunker.
    Is she the most stuck up, fat slapper anyone has ever seen?
    Just because she's big tits she thinks shes the queen mother.

    The elviscostello/petals/Ruth Scott thing was funny the first time Marts said it. It doesn't have the quality to mature much as a source of humour. You however, do have a lot of maturing to do. Go dig out some of your english primary school books. Shouldn't you be doing your homework anyway?

    Thats your opinion, I however find it still at the very least mildly amusing as its obviously irked you to the degree you felt the need to retort to the standard of something I would expect in a playground.

    Yawn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 the_porn_baby


    elviscostello is without doubt Ruth 'ya' Scott. elvis has a sense of humour which is exactly the same as Ruth's i.e. rubbish

    And now back to Ruth Scott in the studio....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Indeed.

    I look forward to reading more about her on air travesties, it would be criminal to listen to 2fm again while shes on.

    Id say her JNLR figures are only holding up because all of roscommon listens each day, everybody else has the good sense to turn off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 the_porn_baby


    Ok back to Ruth - I think the pictures posted earlier were at a bad angle or something, they just didn't do the woman justice. This one does....
