Jacqui hurley hoarse again.

JonathanAnon

Was trying to listen to Sunday Sport again today .. and she's hoarse again have to switch off. She said she was roaring shouting at a game yesterday, but I mean how stupid is it to be roaring at a match when you konw that you have to present a radio show the next day... Once or twice is forgiveable for sure, but it's getting to the stage where it's every week.

RodVelvet

Totally agree with you, this isn't the first occasion that Jacqui Hurley has been hoarse on Sunday Sport. You'd have to wonder whether she takes her profession seriously seeing as she says this always happens when she is shouting at matches. Maybe Evanne Ni Chuillinn or Joanne Cantwell would be more capable of carrying out the hardly arduous task of sports presenting on a Sunday.

I think you're being a bit harsh there. It certainly is an arduous task presenting a live and fast moving sports show. Have you ever done it? It's non stop info coming in. Scores go stale very quickly as do racing results and you're constantly swicthing between feeds. You need your wits about you. She doesn't just sit there with her feet up I'll bet.

Yeah she was out roaring and shouting at a match yesterday, but i'd say she was out on the lash last night too. And whats with the weirdos who think she sounds sexy ?

JonathanAnon

It's more from the professionalism point of view that I am talking about (as was said above by RodVelvet). Somebody in RTE really needs to have a word with her and tell her that if she wants to keep her job that she needs to be able to talk on a Sunday, no matter what social/sporting event is on the day before.
Joanne and Evanne are always immaculately turned out and both are good communicators. Seems like they take their jobs more seriously..

It's nothing to do with presenting skills. You simply cannot hear her properly when she comes in hoarse.. She's okay when you can hear her.

The Express

Maybe wants to be the ladette of the sports gang?

The uber-cool and professional Evann is 3-0 up on you at extra time, girl:cool:

RodVelvet

I was not belittling the actual tasks involved in the job itself, but verbal communication is a key component of a radio presenting role. If simple verbal communication is beyond her on a frequent basis maybe she would be better off in a production role. She was hoarse from the start, it's not the first time it has happened.

Con Murphy never seems to have this issue but as JonathonAnon says above it is more to do with her sense of professionalism. I'm sure that Con would be more than capable of carrying out the role by himself. If she has a performance review surely some concerns should be put to her by management. Many of the texts that were read out were dealing with this situation and it is funny the first time but as it has happened before maybe she should look at her level of professionalism compared to her work colleagues.

She is a bit younger than Evanne and Joanne so may not have the same sense of professionalism as them.

I'd take the odd croak from Hurley any day of the week over the nasal whinings of Cantwell. Her voice goes through me like a dose of liver salts.

Imhof Tank

Turning up for a job, the one basic requirement of which is to speak, with self inflicted horseness is as bad as turning up for work drunk imo.

That incident last year when she was caught saying "shut up ya sh*t ya" - she should have been on a final warning after that.

Would they have let her on to present if she was slurring words or falling around the studio? Probably on the evidence of yesterday.

mike65

Complete waster, someone needs to take her in hand and put her straight.

ohdatlewis

She's a nice bit of stuff! Anyone know if shes on the market?!

FlutterinBantam

Fine set of choppers on her, agree though, this hoarseness crack is done.


Shape up or ship out honey, cop yersell on.

That's not really fair. My whole point is that once or twice could be forgiven. But more than that is just being unprofessional and sloppy.

Another newbie arrives, sounds off about an old timer who has his funny ways....I dunno.
No-one even spotted my "ooo-er matron" subtext...;)

Derryleigh are you her brother or something?

decies

To be fair she has one or two good things going for her.

Less of the comments on her personal appearance.

It has no bearing on her ability as a radio presenter

No. Never met her. But you seem to know her well enough to make very hard hitting comments about her.

As you will see from previous posts I am a big believer in NOT slagging off people I dont know who are doing their job. Whether that is a good thing or not I dont know.

BTW, old timer, when are you 66?

orourkeda

She bugs me to the point that I cat listen to sunday sport anymore. Theres just something about her that gets on my wick in a big way.

it's not Derry lad.

If I pay my taxes and licence fee I expect a standard for my outlay.

Whether or not not I know somebody personally is of no concern.

That entitles me to comment on what i get for my hard earned cash, and Ms Hurley does not meet that standard in presentation.

I see she was bought up in Oz, maybe she thinks like an Ocker.

All I can say Mike is she busts my balls big time.


Off button comes before the first 'this ahfthernoon'.

Listen for it;)

I'm sure you'll explain the point of that someday?

Is she anything to Red Hurley?

derry, it's a fact of life that the majority of people in this forum use it to give out about people.
I don't particularly have a problem with that, but above all else I like to keep a peaceable house
so, if you're pissed off with the negative comments, the only thing you can do is make sure you post lots of positive comments.
Don't make the mistake of trying to stop negative comments with other negative comments - giving out about presenters is not banned by the charter, but giving out about people giving out about presenters is.

I'm not giving out to you, but if people giving out about presenters annoys you, you might be better off giving boards a miss.

Point taken fully, and I would never try to stop free speech but I am just one of these people who believes that we really are a nation of begrudgers especially when we resort to derrogatory comments about radio presenters being hoarse!!

no problems derry, i understand where you're coming from. Although the fact that she's a radio presenter makes her hoarseness a bit relevant
just remember, I'll protect your right to post positive comments as much as anyones to post negative, that's really what I was trying to say.

Its not that she was horse on Sunday its that she is a repeat offender thats getting our grumpy goat.

Well Evanne has legs like a racehorse. She's a classy lady.

The Muppet

Who are we slagging off today, Jaqui Hurley? Gerry will be pleased.

Has anyone considered the posibility that the lady in question may have an underlying medical explainantion for her hoarseness and the whole "shouting at a game made me hoarse" may just be a attempt at keep things private.

I'm just surmising as I don't know the lady in question but I would always keep an open mind on such matters, you will all feel very guilty if there were a sinister explaination for it, especially you, Mike65:).

mike65

Jebus what a load of nonsense, she's just a good time gal who's spending too much time having a good time.

She is a disgrace to broadcasting

I turned off the other week

How can a supposed professional not take care and prepare for their WORK

How is the director of Radio allowing these low quality broadcasts to be transmitted

If she cant show up fit for broadcasting she should be assigned another task

Damien O'Reilly in presenting Sunday Sport for "the next two months"... Anybody have any idea what's going on, were Con and Jacqui Hurley fired??

Skid

Can and Jacqui will return in February, according to the Sunday Sport Facebook page.

Even by Montrose standards that's a seriously long holiday.

Sorry lads, it was Damien O'Meara... He did a very good job... Straight, professional delivery, moved quickly between the grounds to keep on top of everything... None of the usual fk-ups, messing and unfunny "banter" between the guests... RTE were trying to turn it in to Off The Ball, they should just leave Damien O'Meara at it..

Agreed, straight no nonsensense fast moving prog.

RTE should stick to that and forget about Murphy who always looks and sounds as if he is apologising for something.

JonathanAnon

Damian O'Meara still doing a good job.. lightning fast around the grouns... no fcuk ups or "in-jokes".... Absolutely no reason to move him from this and put those other two clowns back in (which is the plan).
