Ray D'Arcy's screw up of the day

avfc1874 · 05-05-2022 3:30pm

Imagine having a thread of your screw ups, not just screw ups but screw ups of the day 😱🙄,

Amazing Raymond 👌

avfc1874 · 05-05-2022 3:34pm

AHH Ray 4 screw ups and it's not even half hour in 😦😥😫

glenfieldman · 05-05-2022 10:50pm

I have to say lads

I listened to the podcast up to the Mexican lady and didn’t hear any fcuk ups

are yous being super critical of the guy

NIMAN · 05-05-2022 11:11pm

Perhaps rte have edited the podcast to make him appear competent?

They have form in editing them, like they did with some of Tubs shows recently.

glenfieldman · 06-05-2022 1:39am

So what were the huge mistakes today

How come then that he announces that he is taking the day off to celebrate it. As he said it’s a SPECIAL one. He announced it at least twice on the show . As a matter of fact he has a HABIT of saying lots of his utterances twice . This announcing utterances twice thing must be a strategy for some presenters - maybe the ones that want to spent the minimum amount of prep time for the show

Just for the occasional record, Nuacht at 4:00:20 on 09 May.

Furze99 · 09-05-2022 4:13pm

There's good music on RnaG 3-4pm, for anyone looking for a better alternative.

dxhound2005 · 09-05-2022 4:15pm

And 15 minutes of Nuacht at 4 o'clock for those who need it.

leath_dub · 10-05-2022 3:23pm

Ray is all over the gaff today - having issues with all the buttons. Keyed up a U2 song and out comes some youn one singing a U2 cover. "Ah, oh - that's not the one. Youa see, they never tell me who's singing them". Poor Ray - it's never his fault

Thanks Ray ..................

😜

"Was it those lads who sang what does the wolf say?"

What a plank.

Arghus · 11-05-2022 3:17pm

And another:

Going on about the Wagatha Christie case. Was about to reveal who exactly had coined the term "Wagatha Christie" and sounded awfully bombastic about it - when he realised that he'd lost the piece of paper he'd written it down on and had to scramble about looking for it, before giving up and someone had to hand it to him.

avfc1874 · 11-05-2022 3:23pm

I reckon Darcy spends as much time as tubs on his preparation, even though he regularly says when I was coming into the office this morning 🙄😒🤔

leath_dub · 11-05-2022 4:03pm

At least he apologised to the Nuacht newsreader today (4:03 pm)

In fairness the country really needed to hear what Dana had to say 🙄

Dom the chemist · 12-05-2022 7:01am

This issue is that since D'Arcy returned to RTE, he has shown total contempt for Nuacht, it had been broadcast at 3:30pm on the dot for about 60 years but within a few days back at RTE, Farcy starts an interview at 3:27pm and throws a hissy fit and says something like we have to go to this fecking news in Irish now, the next thing he demanded that it be removed completely, RTE bosses kinda gave in by moving it to whenever Darcy was ready to put it on around 4pm ish. Its absolutely ridiculous that such a hospital radio standard of broadcaster has so much power at RTE. When you think of all the broadcasting giants of yesteryear who hosted the radio 1 afternoon show, all of them went to Nuacht on time at 3:30pm and all of them treated the Nuacht reader with professional dignity and respect.

Arghus · 12-05-2022 3:06pm

Screw up today in literally the first two seconds.

Trying to play the jingle for the show. *frantically searches for button to play jingle*... "Which one is it......"

leath_dub · 12-05-2022 4:16pm

Ray plays the wrong clip in the quiz (Jackie Charlto in a clip not related to the questionn) and has to go toa break to try and figure out how to recover from his screwup

RINO87 · 12-05-2022 4:16pm

Dear oh dear oh dear....what a mess in the "quiz" today

leath_dub · 12-05-2022 4:17pm

Ray says the computer screwed up, mixxing up the adoption of the Euro with Euro 88

yeah, right Ray 🙄😁

avfc1874 · 12-05-2022 4:17pm

AHH Ray, there's one quiz a Day, 6 clips max, how do you fcuk it up 🙄🙄🙄🤔🥱

leath_dub · 12-05-2022 4:19pm

And now - sex tips with Ray 🤑

Remember when matt cooper started radio and all you could hear was his heavy breathing?

Sound of it doesnt come across any more but cooper is still nothing but hot air.

avfc1874 · 12-05-2022 4:56pm

Ray gives the contestant a totally wrong clip (never his fault 🙄)

Then asks do you just want to guess what the answer might be? Wtf

And then is surprised when she gets it wrong 🤔😆

leath_dub · 12-05-2022 5:03pm

She actually got it right if I remember correctly!

Asking her to guess anyway was pure Partridge!

NIMAN · 12-05-2022 5:27pm

When you think what this guy is raking in in wages every year, it makes the whole situation less funny.

Rte could have got a 1st time presenter employed for maybe 50k who would be more professional.

I thought she did 😆

Then he started with the er er

Why didn't he just put his hand in his pocket and give them both the prize,

Would have only been a few hundred.

If that was someone on hospital radio they'd just hold their hands up and say I'm not able for this, i keep messing up

Total balls up, the guy just can't think on his feet at all...

It's gas, they were both able to participate in the quiz only because they each had the day off, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them (the one who hung up) couldn't make it tomorrow.

I expect (given they now have an extra break to give away) at the end of the quiz tomorrow, ~~they'll both have lovely bottoms~~ they'll both get the prize. It's the least they can do.

PieOhMy · 13-05-2022 3:19pm

Didn't have a song lined up but realised too late so started waffling after he asked someone else to line one up for him.

PieOhMy · 13-05-2022 3:20pm

Also talking about computer not working for him earlier so he plugged it out and plugged it back in again.

avfc1874 · 13-05-2022 3:23pm

Probably hadn't switched it on, in the first place

My oh my, they also both got the mugs!

leath_dub · 17-05-2022 3:20pm

Ray - turn on her flippin' microphone!

leath_dub · 19-05-2022 3:24pm

Waiting for Ray's explanation of the "David Gray" joke

Higgins5473 · 20-05-2022 7:19pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119085693#Comment_119085693

Yesterday he announced that David Gray would be on, his White Ladder album sold an astonishing 300,000 according to Ray, seems he not only has problems translating zeros into words but basic common sense and cop on is completely absent also.

i only ever hear this imbecile by chance as I would never listen to him intentionally, nearly every time I hear him by chance there is some kind of foul up by his doing. Worth mentioning that about 30 seconds before this he messed up the audio and some kind of strange noise came through which rattled him completely. €500k 🙄

leath_dub · 25-05-2022 3:18pm

Where the feck is Foto Island, Ray?

leath_dub · 26-05-2022 3:06pm

First screwup of the day within 5 seconds. Well done, Ray!

NIMAN · 26-05-2022 3:06pm

Messes it up badly as soon as the news was over.

Ended up saying thanks very much to the newsreader twice.

Man is a total amateur.

NIMAN · 26-05-2022 3:08pm

He can't pronounce Nicola now.

leath_dub · 26-05-2022 3:10pm

Again with the age obsession!

leath_dub · 26-05-2022 3:11pm

Ray - the only hairdryer I want to hear about is the one that is plugged in and chucked at you the next time you're having a bath!

26-05-2022 3:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119117630#Comment_119117630

In the movies, the usual electrical item dunked in the bath is a Radio, but there is better better radio channel content these days. A cheap Aldi or Lidl hairdryer will do.

leath_dub · 27-05-2022 3:21pm

Ray heading to studio 8 to do a spot with In Tua Nua. Rich potential for calamity there, I'd say.

Furze99 · 27-05-2022 8:19pm

Anyone hear the quiz today - 1986 the year. The younger woman probably barely born then but how and ever, Ray still managed to bend over disgracefully to help the older woman to win. She clearly gave a wrong answer on the last question, fudged it and whilst Ray was flustered - she had a quick Google and came up with the correct answer on a second go. The younger one never got a look in. She was gracious about it on air but I'd say she was saying F* *** when she got off!

I'd expect next time he does it, there'll be a wee reminder that answers have to be prompt and first answer etc., but if he's not going to implement the rules on air, why bother.
