Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v2.0

dambarude

Ganley held that smile for at least 10 full seconds at the end!

I can see him getting further presenting work after this, he was pretty good.

baldbear,
that's if little paschal has any balls. Someone sent a child on a mans errant. What a little twat, who the fxxk voted for the muppet?

The highest % of voters in Dublin north central.

Ganley is a polished performer, no doubt.
Having agreed with him from the start regarding the bail-out, much of what he said regarding the Lisbon treaty and having felt he was the victim of an utterly lacking in any kind of evidence smear-job by an RTE programme in the run up to the second Lisbon vote, i was particuarly interested to see if his stewardship this week would give an insight, divorced from these particular issues, into his political leanings/possible agenda.
Last nights show was particularly informative in this regard, i felt.
Didn't paint him in a positive light, in my opinion.

No1J

I thought he did a professional job as he is not a polished tv presenter, the one thing I didn't like was his closing statement about where he stands, sounded like why he might have done the gig in the first place to promote his view.

Well, we now know what sort of a mindset they have, muppets.

Ganley is far too fond of making longwinded speeches pushing his own agenda instead of moderating the panel discussion. By the time he gets to the end of his vervose monologues I've forgotten what the question was.

Yeah i seen that. I was laughing at him. You could see the moment he thought the show had stopped broadcasting and he just let the smile fall.

Don't know why you listened, if you wern't paying attention. BTW, what's vervose? On the other hand, i don't want to know, you'll more than likely have some sort of excuse, you type usually have.

Sounds like TV 3 had the wrong tape in again.

Unlike you I'm clearly not a member of the Ganley the Great club?. I prefer professional presenters who at least know how to moderate a discussion impartially & do not use the opportunity to massage their own ego.

headmaster

Callan,
i notice you're not paying attention again, i asked you what's vervose, but hey, who cares? I'd love to know any presenter who doesn't like massaging their own ego. So, from moi, to toi, buenos noches, sleep tight.

Oh dear, how unfortunate.

thought ganley was brilliant on this.

certainly leagues ahead of the other presenters so far. for the first time in ages ive gone back to stream the stuff ive missed off TV3s website. ger colleran is as annoying on telly as he is on the radio, sam smyth was just going through the motions and the less said about Mammy the better.

if TV3 have any brains theyll offer ganley a business show. with his connections we'd be guarentted quality guests if nothing else and christ knows theres no competition from RTE in that dept. a slot on saturday and sunday would do, prehaps even replacing vinnys friday night show which is kinda crap compared to his mon to thurs one.

but all in all and impressive stint and he managed to reign himself in more than i though he would. boyd barret was the only one he kinda lost it with.

looks like its sarah carey next week.

god help us

Welcome back to TV3 Denis O'Brien Sarah Carey :rolleyes: :mad:

Forget Bishop Kelly Magee.. this b1atch has a few questions to answer herself.. truthfully this time.. It's a disgrace that she is allowed to present this show.

Do you mean Bishop John Magee???

Red Alert

I'm very surprised tv3 put her on. Would have liked to see Mammy O'Rourke or Declan Ganley for another week.

Vincent seems very fond of her and Sam Smyth.

Lady Chatterton

I think Declan Ganley and Gerard Colleran were both really good guest hosts. I was amazed at how comfortable they were presenting the programme.

Ah, you might win her over with your personality, he is a fine looking man but he appears to be very dull, no bit of passion at all, I'm not impressed :pac: :pac: :pac:

That's my first time seeing that. Unreal, she has no shame admitting she's a liar and why should she? Hasn't seemed to put a dent on her career.

She lost her gig guest presenting Midweek and I thought she was dropped as a columist for a while by one of the newspapers she wrote for.

Mark reminds be of a younger version of David Norris.

She was kicked from the Irish Times.. but apparently the written word holds people to a higher standard than the broadcasted word..

Well, she is presenting for Vinny all this week.

No one is perfect..so many tv personalities have less than clean pasts - Dunphy being the biggest example...people should get over it.

Edit: I ain't a fan of Sarah Carey or anything, just think she's suffered enough now.

It's a bit much when she's giving her opinion on public matters when she lied to a tribunal. Not like she's that good of a presenter anyway.

I take your point, but Eamon Dunphy and many others seem to get away with it.

Dunphy is controversial but that's his style. He's never lied to tribunals or done anything of the sort. Surely if you're presenting a current affairs program then your record would have to be clean in that regard, not to mention being likable.

That would be my point exactly.. She could and should have been charged with perjury, had this been a proper court case.. instead of these toothless, pointless tribunals.. I mean, how is it proper that a person who has lied to the State should be then allowed to broadcast to the State ?

Dunphy has a drink-driving charge - a taboo now in this country, but that hasn't affected his career. That's why I was mentioning him.

That's it, she lied and wasted the time of an expensive tribunal. Not something to be proud of. Also, as I said above it's not like she's a good presenter anyway. A good presenter has to have a likability factor, not a chance she has 'it' after what she done.

It's a private station, they can put on whatever presenter they like. There's always the remote if you don't like it.

So do you just not like her or is the issue her lying in the tribunal?

The woman has to make a living somehow you know, she's had her detox period. Time to move on.

Dunphy committed a crime and was punished by the laws of the land.. He is serving his sentence, and if you have a problem with that you can take it up with the "justice" system.. Sarah Carey committed the crime of perjury, but because of the moratorium on accountability within the context that is set by the tribunals, every two bit drug dealing/thieving scumbag in the state will feel vindicated by the fact that Sarah Carey, an Irish Times journalist can lie to the State without recourse..

Jim McDaid got away with it too to a certain degree. People generally like Dunphy anyway and not to mention he was accountable for his actions.

Of course they're entitled to put whoever they want on. Doesn't mean it's the right decision.

I don't like her as a presenter. I think it's a step too far. Look at the Youtube video above, how could you not be a little annoyed and I reckon I'm in the majority. But each to their own, you obviously feel different.

And people like you will dutifully keep reminding people of her lying past.

She lost her job at the IT and went missing off TV3 for months. Consider that her jail sentence.

Whether it's a considered a crime when it's in a tribunal setting, I'm not quite sure. But I presume you've looked it up.

Well, as far as I know, any evidence given to the tribunal is not admissable in a court of law.. And if any court case was to be initiated from the findings of a tribunal, they would have to forgo everything previously learned, and a new trial started from scratch.. I could be wrong on the finer details .. I'm not a legal person, and am open to correction, but that is what how I think it works.

I actually thought she was good when she stepped in for Vincent last year, and appeared to be more natural than the other stand in presenters, particularly Sam Smyth .. But given that Vincent is normally vehemently critical of how the justice system differentiates between the "privileged" and working classes in it's sentencing and general handling of cases, it's kind of morally ironic that she should be handed the reins..

You seemed pretty sure in your previous posts. I don't think it's a crime, as tribunals are different to courts, no jury etc.

VB doesn't get to choose his substitute. He's not compromised in any way.

My opinion would be that it should be considered perjury to lie to a tribunal.. as it would be if you lied to a court of law.. I mean we seem to disagree on absolutely everything else, surely we can agree on this?
