    Tom Dunne on again talking about enjoying himself in Galway.....
    ......The ladies love him.
    Do they really though? I can't see much to redeem him in a talk show format. He was good as a DJ though.

    Interesting documentary at the moment about the famine but ruined by a banshee wailing in the background.
    Apperantely its music but it drowns out the sound of the contributors.

    This kind of arty farty messing spoils what is otherwise a very good programme.

    I read in the papers last week he was at 65,000 from around 73,000 which is quite amazing.

    They need a serious overhaul there. They're a dogs breakfast at the moment and no sign of improvement on the horizon. They only knocked out fourteen hours of original programming yesterday with the repeats starting from 9pm last night. That's just downright lazy. Their licence should be reviewed.

    excellent. She's moving to something more suited to her, than serious news/business. Horses for courses and all that.

    Yet Hookie still managed to bring the resession into the conversation.

    I don't think it was a slip of the tongue at all. It was just Henry being up to his usual mischief.

    The real slip of the tongue came later in the same programme when Hookie described Alan Kerins as a "great Cork hurler".

    Great - Yes
    Cork - No (thank fuk)

    Have to say Jonathan Healy is far and away the best person that they have had on The Lunchtime... He's a lot brighter and enthusiastic than the others and he's a clever guy as well... Keep him Newstalk..

    Some important social issues there Mike. Definitely trying to emulate the great John Humphrys and the Today programme.

    I just can't do it...I know that it is slow news time, but I don't think that Morning Ireland is any better these days. I listen most mornings at the same time to MI and it is the usual top 2 stories between 8 and 8.30 or should I say 8.15 (I do love What It Says In The Papers). And then from 8.30 to 9 it is a bit of what they can pull out of the pot...a goat doing a line with an eel and whatever you are having yourself.
    What can these radio programmes do when there is no government sitting? Should they be doing more investigative reporting?

    Just listening to a bit of the "in house" commentary from Newstalk of the Liverpool - Arsenal game. Shambolic tripe from the posh boys of Off the Ball. When Joe Cole got card red carded it was an age before the made it clear that was actually the case.

    It is the summer in fairness. Not that I agree with the fluff content but context etc.

    Sounded to me like Newstalk were sitting in a studio watching it on TV with crowd noises dubbed on to sound like they were at the match

    At one stage the commentator goes "and another chance for Liverpool, oh, eh, that was a replay of the goal"

    They probably didn't see the red card being shown to Joe Cole and had to spoof until Sky flashed up a graphic.

    Cheap, lazy, misleading 'commentary' :mad:

    Appologies for my incoherence in the post quoted above, I was only slightly clearer than the commentary!

    If that is what we have to put up with for the whole season I'll be praying my FM 5live signal holds out.

    Ken Early didn't deny it, or admit it for that matter, when asked about it on twitter. But the commentary was no worse then the crowd they were using last year, or the one on the stream I was watching yesterday. Still, it was a bit ridiculous for Ger Gilroy to pretend they were at anfield.

    Doesn't RTE's Premier Soccer Saturday do the same thing?

    I don't think Premier Soccer Saturday have ever suggested anything, its obvious enough that they do not send a pack of commentators to 5/6 venues for a matchday if one thinks about it.
