Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v 4.0 (08/07/14 to date)

take everything

Mick Clifford on now.
About Maurice McCabe.

Utterly shocking what was done to McCabe.
I hope this rocks the corruption in the Gardai to the core.

That Justine McCarthy is very hard to listen to, the annoying posh accent and her bleeding heart leftie ideas.

Of course The Irish Times readers love her no doubt, another crowd I despise.

Have to say you have a point, gives the impression rightly or wrongly that she is never ever wrong.

Gets ones back up.

Justine is one of those 'hurlers-on-the-ditch' who seem to know the answer to every problem. I would include Fintan O'Toole and Eamon Dunphy in the same category. But you will never see any of their names on a ballot paper.

When Vincent retires we might get some proper debate instead of the stacked panels we have been getting for the last number of years. I'm fed up of the 4 v 1's and rarely watch now.

I like Justine McCarthy. She's an excellent journalist and seems to annoy the right kind of people.

That is such a pointless point. Are the only people allowed an opinion those who stand for election.
Her job is to write about and think about these issues.

It would make more sense for you to advocate banning journalists.

It's very easy to annoy people it's harder to get your good points across and make sense.

She does that very well too. I'm always relieved when I see her on the show because it means that there's at least one person who'll be talking sense and won't be shouting and interrupting people.

Spot on Roger, always 'know' the answer but hey,between you and me I think they have been found out.

Dunphy in particular has been frapping around supporting left wingers big time despite sucking deeply from the taxpayers teat.

For those of us who know, genuine people, people like Dunphy and his ilk O'Toole as well make their living criticising others who implement things.

If you want my respect, get off your hoop, put yourself up, succeed or fail,but do something which improves the system, step on a few toes, stop roaring and shouting from a 'safe' position where you rely on hindsight for everything.

Stand up and be counted,otherwise shut the fuhhrk up.

Says the guy............. criticising people.
The world is made up of more people than politicians.

mikeybrennan

don't have any problem with Justine
-always seems reasonable

Boyd Barret gets my goat ,anti everything and money grows on trees

bing_crosby

justine is from cork but speaks pure D4

possibly the most pious - earnest woman in ireland

Oscar Bravo

fine speech from Vinny there on TV3 about him leaving.

mikeybrennan

sinn fein politicians always seem to be skilled debaters

must be the military training wah!

Roger_007

Why was Vinny apologising for having an all-male panel. I don't remember him apologising when he had all-female panels!

It's the only show of its kind to have (very) occasional all-female panels.

Gen.Zhukov

I'll miss the fecker a bit. He has pros and cons but he had his own way on the show. More balls than other presenters of current affairs programmes, that's for sure.

I found him well capable of giving both left and right a hard time.

sligojoek

Is tonight the last night? Can't watch at the moment.

Gen.Zhukov

No. The 27th is

Recently he had Catherine Connolly, Catherine Noone and Catherine Ghent on. They mentioned Katherine Zapone. How about that!

Easy to be 'skilled' when one takes part in nothing.

Delighted he s leaving. Appears to be very biased in my opinion

Martin Collins or the AAA/Solidarity losers might be on as much if it's true he's leaving.

power sharing in the North?

they'd have no problem in coalition government here once their policies are curtailed to reflect balance of coalition

mikeybrennan

he had that lady from the SFA on a fair bit to balance the debate

never could take to her arguments mind

Who can replace Vincent Brown ?

There is obviously only one Vincent Brown, that's for sure.

I don't think any of the 'stand in' presenters have the substance or style required to front this type of show.

Will they chose a previously untried presenter?

mikeybrennan

I could see Ivan Yates getting it but I don't like his style.

FrancieBrady

Not Joan's finest 10 minutes...cringe!

mikeybrennan

That was some earful
