Generally I avoid switching on the radio between 9 and ten in the morning, its just too risky However I have listened to Tubridy on occassion and have come to the conclusion that his show is getting worse Today it was a round table on "chivalry in modern Ireland" followed by…

Isn't this poll *slightly* loaded?

I'd have picked "Ah I don't mind him actually, he's alright"... but I guess the closest to that is "yes... I'm a masochist"... Er... no thanks!

That's all very well and good, but it doesn't mean that all the people who are potential respondents in your poll have also come to their tubbsend, as you put it...

My friend and I 'won' 4 tickets for Tubridy Tonight one time and we ended up shnaking our way into the bar afterwards by pretending to be two of The Kooks.

We were living it up and having a laugh when our girlfriends, who were stranded outside and saw us drinking with Gloria Hunniford and her husband through the window, ruined our elaborate ruse by phoning incessantly and insisting on being brought past the security guards too.

This achieved, we're all standing at the bar chatting to some young fella from Coronation Street when over pops Tubbers himself and says 'Hi guys. Which party are you with?', to which we answered that we were with The Kooks. Tubbers seemed up for the craic and we thought we were OK to continue schmoozing when an RTE security guard finally came over and told us nicely to **** off. We implored Tubbers to let us stay but he pretended not to hear us and walked off to tell Gloria something.

On the plus-side, we met The Kooks on the way out. Gob****es.

You posted a thread on the Radio forum. There was already a thread on the same topic. I merged them. Deal with it.

What's that supposed to mean???

How about staying on topic on the thread, please.

No.

Do us a favour... read the charter, stay on topic on the thread and stop telling mods how to moderate.

jane wani: this is your final warning

Request denied. If you wish to discuss the merging of threads or how we moderate this forum in general, do it by private message. The topic of this thread is quite obviously "Tubridy on 2FM". If you are posting on this thread, stay on THAT TOPIC.

Think carefully before you reply. If you continue to post on this thread regarding how the forum is moderated, then you will be banned for one week. How about that my dear jane wani?

His comments about the abuse he suffers on the street were fair enough though. The Great Unwashed on these isles are embarrassingly begrudging and ignorant sometimes. Granted, he might not be everyone's cup of tea, but but that shouldn't mean you can roar stuff out a window at him or kick him for Christ's sake!

the guy puts himself on national radio...
what does he expect ..of course people will shout at him..
his inane ramblimgs the other day made my head explode and i had to seek medical advice..due to hearing the words facebook,book,twitter,hawhaw.way too often..the doctor said i needed to be detubbed..
kicking is maybe a bit too far..but for the love of all that is real and alive..
we have all had enough of tubberware boy..the sooner he realises the better..

not liking his show today, thought he was a bit harsh on the fella suffering from vertigo on the wheel, espically with playing 'i beleive i can fly' and 'parachute'

Hey i was kinda excited with the idea of Ryan Tubridy on 2fm until i actually heard him.
I am not impressed and he has not made me want to listen to him and sometimes he sounds fake when talking to a listener on the phone.
In fairness he is extremely talented on Tv and i loved his Radio 1 show but i think he should not have done the move to 2fm.
It's the radio 1 show with an extra hour!!
And what's the format of the talk show after him?
Why 2 talk shows?

I have to say there is huge talent out there that would have been a breath of fresh air on that or any show on "Closed door policy..2fm"

Bring back John Clarke and the early 90's type 2fm please or get rid of the old names and give us a Fresh New 2fm!!

Ryan Tubridy is second choice for the late late and his 2fm show. Miriam O Callaghan & Ray Dracy were first choices.

I hate to kick a man when he's down....but here goes anyway. Like others have said, I can only last about 10 minutes before I switch over.

I was not a Gerry Ryan listener/fan and used to listen to Tubridy's old Radio 1 show...just waiting for Pat Kenny's show really...and he was ok in that hour slot. He had to cover a certain amount of topics in the hour, so he had to get on with it. In this new show, from what I've heard, he seems to be required to talk more freely and offer his opinions more (newpaper review etc.) and it's then you realise just how little he actually has to offer and what a lightweight broadcaster he is.

I don't dislike Tubridy but his constant irritating references to twitter, Mad Men/West Wing, his love of Galway, how wonderful kids are, nostalgia, books etc. have me reaching for the dial.
