Friday Night at the Morgue: The Late Late Show Off Season Chat Thread!

Ol' Donie

I'm kinda surprised UEFA didn't make this last 16 match between Denmark & Wales into a 3 team group with us in it. With the top two qualifying for a play off with each other.

Was shouting on Sligo today so I can completely empathise with Welsh Megaman right now

Welsh Megaman

Ah well

I tip my hat to Denmark - fantastic performance.

As ever, proud of what we achieved at the tournament - the little nation taking on the big boys. It just wasn’t our day.

Ireland's Richlist is being heavily advertised on RTE at the minute.

What's the point of gaudy sh1te like that.

I didn’t know Matt Bianco was playing for the Ukraine!


This appearance is not much better than his time on ‘Saturday Superstore’.

First Ukraine get robbed at Eurovision, now this

At this difficult time for all us, we need to remember that football has a habit of not actually coming home as predicted


Allez Denmark and/or Italy and Spain

Welsh Megaman

Well done to England, in fairness.


I’m just glad that era of what I call ‘Stupid England’ is - thankfully - over.

That era of Gazza’s Dentist Chair, Footballers Wives, Zoo and Nuts Magazine with Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh (especially now that female pundits are on the Beeb), Bell and Spurling and terrible novelty songs in general - we have thankfully moved on.

Southgate has shown great class, manners and professionalism that you never would have seen circa the turn of the millenium.

I genuinely wish them well in the tournament, don’t know what you Irish think

Gareth Southgate's people stole Trevelyan's Corn from us, though :pac:


I sort of wished them well in the Football until recently but the Brexit fallout turned me against them

If you ever say ‘it’s coming home’ to me again, I’ll put your head through the wall.

Ooh, they are putting us on lockdown tomorrow for a short while until the new "improved" Boards.ie is launched

Further to our post on 1st June that we were moving platform - we really are moving platform this week :pac:

As you know we had a bit of a hiccup in June and took some extra time to work on some issues in the background.

The site will go read-only from tomorrow Wednesday 7th July at 6am until some time on Thursday 8th July while all of our site data is transferred to the new platform. It may spill over into Friday as other work has to be completed once the transfer is done and before we can open the site back up to posts again.

We are under no illusions that the new version of the site will be perfect, it won't be. We expect that you guys will discover issues that we didn't see. Some things will just work a little differently to what you are used to, otherwise it will more or less be the same.

Once we get any teething issues sorted out we're excited to see how we can update the site with new additions and features. You can go back to my earlier post here for details on what will be new after the move.

Hopefully nothing too discussion-worthy happens when we're read-only! :eek:

Thanks all!

I am confident that everything will go smoothly and there will be universal acclaim for the new look Boards

Skid X

How's everyone doing?

The new layout will take a while to get used to.

Everything has moved and it is frustrating

At this difficult time it is important not to forget that Football didn't actually come home

So far it's hard to find stuff on the site, the old site wasn't without flaws but at least it was more functional, hopefully they'll tweak it.

Pelvis Parsley

If they sorted the sluggishness, and made it actually possible to navigate, I'd live with it.

Ol' Donie

HELLO?

IS ANYONE THERE?

I THINK I'M POSTING ON BOARDS BUT NOT SURE

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I hear you sir, and I think I'm quoting you in my reply.

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Welsh Megaman

I miss proper emoticons.

The Blues Brothers just started on RTE1

I'd be happy if they showed that every single Friday night from September to May at 9.35pm

Instead of which we get the Blues Brother. Mr. Fun, the CancerMan.

In the South Park about the fish sticks joke, the joke makes it into the mainstream and do a brilliant pisstake of Leno using it in a monologue:)

This is rather odd, In 1988 American Talk Show host Phil Donahue hosts a special from Manchester where the cast of Cheers meets the cast of Coronation Street. Ken Barlow and Woody Harrelson together at last.

There appears to be no reason for this apart from both shows having pubs in them.

No-one has seen each others show and Frasier had not yet met Daphne who could have acted as an interpreter in this bizarre programme.

I expect the "back in fighting form with the best season yet" puff piece to hit the newstands any day now!

NIMAN

He has a brass neck continuing to claim it's going to be the best season yet, when it's actually been getting worse every year for about a decade.

Muahahaha

What date is it back? I need my fix of Nathan and Jake Carter, its been two months now since they were on RTE, unacceptable

I sent that to an English friend of mine who hates the GAA and specially "Up for the match".

His wife and mother in law are devoted Donegal football fans. He reckons the only peace he gets is when they go away to a match.

Piece in the IMOS today about the return of the LLS and Ryan saying that they're trying to get away from the seriousness of the last season. They've named 3 guests and 2 of those are the daughter of a French woman who was murdered and the mother of Dolores O'Riordan! The other confirmed guests are some of the Irish Olympians - and we all know what Ryan is like with sports interviews!

Suckit

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117787931#Comment_117787931

Guessing that the Olympians will include the O'Donovan brothers, Kellie Harrington among others, but somehow manage to reroute the conversation to these:

https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/another-bump-in-the-road-for-olympian-oliver-dingley-after-overcoming-so-many-hurdles-40304376.html

And of course any olympian that has had a relative die within the last year, and how they managed to get on with it while knowing they were dying. And more covid.

But, but...I was expecting the best season yet?

This time next week lads, only seven days until the all new entertainment heavy LLS !!

""I feel that it's a very different type of excitement because the last couple of years we've gone back to a very different class of Late Late Show, but I have the feeling we're coming out of that phase now and we're into a much bigger, brighter place," he said.

"I think the mood is better. Certainly, the shadow has been cast, but we're emerging from that and we're ready for a different gear change for the show. We're starting to embrace the light and run to the crowd and the music and the entertainment side of things."

No more misery !! Believe!!

I'll take a blind stab at the guest list:

Kellie Harrington

Dermot Bannon

The Frostbit lad

And music from Nathan of course

Actually I wonder will there be crowds this year, fully vaxxed and spread out and all that.

Ol' Donie

Lookin forward to it.

Don't care. I do know better. But I'm still looking forward to it.

Of course I am an Arsenal fan who was looking forward to the new season. I expect this to be the same.

Think Kellie has already been confirmed as a guest,

There will be a socially distanced audience of 50 (normally 200 in the audience).

Samsgirl

I'd say Tubs is raging he didn't get to present the concert for cancer last night. He would have revelled in the misery.

jmlad2020

Tubridy knows his time is running out, With the Tiernan show outclassing the Late Late in recent years, this tripe can't go on for much longer.

I highly doubt this season of the LLS will bounce back, fresh and more reinvigorated than ever. Expecting much of the same but we shall see. Could be Tubbs last year imo
