caseyann

How true is this? I heard someone is sending him death threats.
I couldnt believe it:mad: Who would send death threats to our one and only best host of a tv show ever in Ireland?

Heard he wasnt the nicest person off air from people who met him.

Maybe he pissed someone off.

LEGENDARY RTÉ BROADCASTER Gay Byrne has revealed that he regularly received hate mail and occasional death threats while presenting the Late Late Show.
Byrne – who has only hosted occasional TV broadcasts since retiring from the Late Late in 1999, and now acts as chairman of the Road Safety Authority – told The Sun that he had previously received letters from people threatening to kill his wife and daughters, and burn down his family home in Howth.


Also in same article:
Byrne also told The Sun that he had been offered a number of moonlighting jobs while he was working in the UK – including one to manage an up-and-coming band called The Beatles.
“I introduced them for the first time on television. The third time they were in, Paul [McCartney] said they had no agent and asked me if I would manage them.
Never knew that either.

In your OP you say that someone is sending him death threats.

I see nothing in the article you have linked that says he is currently receiving death threats.

Where did you hear someone is sending him death threats?

Its Pat KKKenny doing it. He has found out the Gay is the grandson of Wompamba Byrne and that Gay slagged his house.

See the evidence.

Perhaps he wanted to get danger money on top of his meagre salary.

Had he been The Beatle's manager, they would probably have been a showband until disappearing without trace in 1965.

Listen,don't send him death threats,just send him a letter or an e-mail,that is littered with bad grammar,incorrect spellings,and bad use of punctuation.

That will send the patronising,condescending,supercilious,geebag apoplectic

'Is' would suggest that this is an ongoing thing. The article you posted says this happened when he presented the Late Late Show, which as you might know was years ago.

The fact that he's still alive (or is he?:eek:) years after the death threats also proves how serious they were.:pac:

You didn't already say it, someone else pointed it out to you. Where is the evidence he is still getting them?

I hardly am thick or blind enough to not see the article i posted was in the past

Yes and you were asked where you heard he is recieving death threats. So where did you hear this?

Of course it matters. Did Gay tell your 'relation'? They could have made it up.

I don't think Gay Byrne will be on this thread. You won't be getting verification from him.

I believe on this thread you need to use a published link rather than just quoting a rumour your relative passed on to you

Like jeebs talk about Chinese whispers!
