    TODAY FM should be renamed to YESTERDAY FM, seriously in decline. with the exception of Paul McClune's show I have pretty much completely stopped listening to the station.

    I'd imagine they are gutted at your loss !

    Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
    If you're going to take a cheap pop at someone at least get it right:rolleyes:

    And as I'm the average joe radio listener you can be sure I'm not alone in no longer listening to YESTERDAY FM. Trust me, radio stations pay close attention to listener figures. It's all about listener figures and advertising revenue. Very hard to sell airtime if your listener figures are dropping.

    Have you anything useful to bring to the party?

    sensitive fellow.....

    I was sarcastically referring to how gutted they will be at losing you as a listener, considering you cant even get the stations name correct (it's TODAY FM)


    Back on topic - Dunphy will be missed - but it's Newstalks loss.

    Then why did you write your loss?
    Your comment should have read "gutted at their loss but I'm not going to give you a lesson on the correct use of the English language.
    Sarcasm is obviously not your strongest subject (nor punctuation, nor spelling) so you should just quit while you're ahead.
    I think I may have mentioned that the station should be renamed as YESTERDAY FM (it's that old sarcasm thing again you see?)

    'bye now;)

    I don't mind calling a spade a vertically inserted excavation device and YESTERDAY FM would do for the said radio station. But in truth the best name for this particular outlet is OBRIAN'S FM. With Eamon and Smyth gone the self editing will be rampant. I think Ray D'Arcy will go next.

    Dunphy has walked out on every show hes ever done, I dont think he'll get another job as quick as he thinks, but you never know he might go to 2fm next...Tubs replacement maybe:P

    His last show hasnt been podcasted, did he say anything contoversial before he left?

    Dunphy, true to his drunk guy at the bar persona. Throws his toys out of the pram when put in his place.

    Not heard of Sam Smyth or Denis O'Brien then...

    ......hello again.

    Today fm's loss of a listener is surely boards gain as we have found yet another keyboard warrior fighting the good fight at the weekend. I'd imagine the management at Today HQ are having a sleepless night over the loss of you as a listener.

    Well done on passing leaving cert ordinary level English by the way, how many attempts did it take in the end ?

    sarcasm goes so far over your head.
    anyway, the phoenix were calling this 'yesterday fm' from the time it changed from radio ireland.

    He'll lay low for a while and probably next autumn RTE will give him a Saturday morning slot again.

    It only took you six hours to come up with this pathetic response? And a personal attack on the level of my education added for good measure? :rolleyes:

    I had a feeling this was coming, I remember when he endorsed MMG on air he said something along the lines of "this might cost me my job" which was a rather strange thing to say.

    I was wondering why the podcast wasnt up until I read the article about what Dunphy said... Still not up now.. I guess they are not putting it up.. Has anybody uploaded Dunphy's tirade to youtube or anything?

    edit: found it...

    ...we don't all hang around Internet chat rooms on a bank holiday weekend waiting for someone to reply.

    I'd imagine this thread is going to get closed so drop me a pm as you seem to have an issue with me questioning you and your also pulling your mates into this.

    ........that is, if you can figure out how to send me a pm ?
