Republic of Telly trailer vandilised

Nypd

RTE had the rePublic of telly trailer in Waterford tonight,
The usual shenanigans all night in front of its cameras.

I'm hearing now that it was vandilised by some yobs.

Anyone else got info on it ?

Now that show is some waste of the licence fee, still tho if it got vandalised it doesn't show our city in a good light......yet again

I was out of town for the night and got back to Railway Square around 2.30am, headed over to the ATM across from CTI but saw what I thought was a crepes van being rocked back and forth. I just kept going as the cops were heading up to it. Didn't realise it was RTE. Hopefully it wasn't too badly damaged...

Hope they lock up the scumbags who did it. Some idiots in this town.

In fairness, that's only the shell of a hired trailer. They did some damage to some cardboard. Republic of Telly people were well gone.

It doesn't matter. Who gave them the right to randomly vandalise things?

abouttobebanned

Of course...but I'm willing to bet that if there were RTE people there with some equipment, there would have been a lot more respect shown.

It's immaturity and stupidity, but let's not get carried away.

Down with that sort of thing

They mustn't have been that long gone. The footage that they show is usually from when the night is over isn't it?

That's what they want ya to think.

I'm not condoning any behaviour on the video, but sometimes the people in this town like nothing more than to hop on a bandwagon and ride all the way to hysteria.

AdMMM

Ahhh, maybe I just assumed it was the end of the night going on how drunk some of the goons on it usually seem to be .

A mob mentality amongst club-goers at the end of the night is nothing new nor is it something exclusive to Waterford. It's just frustrating that we seem to have new videos to look at every weekend that will be used as ammunition on talk shows and for journalists during slow news weeks to further paint a negative picture of youth culture and the drinks industry. No doubt we'll see more articles next week about how "Low-cost alcohol at SuperMarkets to blame for latest Waterford City riots".

abouttobebanned

Ah yeah...but if you type any county in ireland into youtube...and add the tags drunk, night, etc...you'll see the same kind of videos.

Did they break the trailer open??

abouttobebanned

Looks like there was only a piece of cardboard in the way.

mikeym

Didn't look like there was any equipment in the trailer.

The people who vandalised it are pure scum.

Saturday nights are a disaster, I would rather go out on a Friday than a Saturday.

JONJO THE MISER

You would not see the likes of it in fallujah:rolleyes:

The whole point of the republic of telly camera is to record people acting stupid while drunk, so not really a suprise some drunk tards acted that way to be honest. What do they expect when they are purposely recording people drunk for a cheap way of getting laughs.

To the people abusing Waterford this could happen anywhere in Ireland or abroad, the people who are abusing Waterford I wonder do they leave much and see different places because every place that has lots of people drinking in a small place is going to have its small bit of trouble.

I see what you are saying about people talking about the drinks industry but if people were smoking weed or taking headshop drugs and done something like this there would be outcry, but because they are drunk people still complain but there is not half as much hysteria there would be if they were taking drugs.

It annoys me that people defend alcohol so much when it is obviously a very bad drug.

typical waterford knobs!!

I know that. But it seems as if Waterford is unfortunate to be too small for these things to just go unnoticed by the general public (pretty sure the people of Dublin don't worry about revellers running around with traffic cones on their heads for 15 minutes of an entire week) and too big for anything to be done immediately should anything kick off!

Dumb ****s are stupid enough to video themselfs causing damage,

:rolleyes:

looksee

Do you think those eejits in the video are impressed by their claim to fame, or do they think 'oh god, I look gormless'?

Was anything at all going on between the ears of the fat fella in the red tee shirt, who looks very pleased with himself, or the shaved head one jumping around like a chimpanzee fool (sorry, that's insulting to chimpanzees)?.

I'd say they couldnt care less tbh, nothing will come of it. nobody will be arrested and no charges will be brought.

Nickfro

IQ levels in this city must be seriously dropping if anyone thinks this is funny or a bit of a laugh.

Max Powers

I think the most shocking thing is its saturday night, busiest pub area in the city, people start vandalising things and there is not a Garda to be seen

Ostrom

I'm amazed anyone finds this at all surprising; shiny distraction amidst a field of drunkards within sight of women = ??

This town is gone to the dogs boy!

Alcohol is morally neutral. Blaming alcohol for people's bad behaviour is akin to blaming cars for road traffic accidents.

Is that Waterford's Tommy Tiernan? It's a city not a town boi.

gway dublin is barely a city, waterford is a fishing village

Max Powers

watched rep.of telly last night out of interest, awful. I thought this stuff was meant to satirise the morons who run/are-on RTE not some vehicle for unfunny/dimwitted small time model. I have seen the Bernard fella live and he was very funny in fairness, he should run a mile from this stuff. I cant imagine anyone enjoying this over the age of 20. Maybe the trailer vandalisim was carried out by some irrate TV licence payers

Finneen

I thought Waterford City had its own TV channel a few years ago?

Its bad part of the show other than that he was good, and the killer is his waterford accent, way too strong, the waterford accent is horrible.

The Waterford accent is sexy out! Boy!

batm!ke

To be fair to Tony Kelly lads, his material is very good in the main. I know him years and wondered would I be able to take his standup seriously, but he is very funny. That clip is spot on. The reason people like Des Bishop, Tommy Tiernan and Neil Delamere are so successful is they hold up a mirror to our behaviours and quirks. Tony does the same, only in a Waterford accent. I would hope people can see past that and at least hope a local lad does well honing his craft in the States.

Go way boi will Ye it's a great accent.Would you rather listen to the rest of Ireland's accents, like Kerry or Cork or Tipp ? I think the Waterford is mild compared to the rest of Ireland.Id love to lock you in a room with a fellow from Ovens in Cork for a couple of hours, you would be begging to hear a Waterford accent then boi.

wellboytoo

I know Tony myself a fine actor and comedian and a huge pair of balls to do a stand up in front of your peers in a small place like Waterford, as regards the town/City badge its simple, if your from here you can call it town if your not you better not.
