But you're always saying everyone contributing to this thread lived with their mothers.

You bring everyone's mother's into this. Maybe it's time to ascend from your basement. It's a nice day out.

Has he posted today? Didn’t see that. More Instagram posts and a run down of whatever Ryan said on radio?

Ah yeah the doc is a wum.

Constantly fishing for posters to bite and push the mods into taking action.

Although a mod previously asked the bogson doc not to post for 3 days?!?!

Unbelievable. Always gets away with it.

Look regardless of you or I think Ryan has a solid core of fans that will welcome him back from exile, just like Eamon Casey had.

Any other inference is entirely yours.

Little work but 6figure salary? Wow, thats so impressive. What is your job?

Please do tell all us plebs how you can do it, and post beautiful posts on boards constantly throughout the day?

What actually are the dublin desirable postcodes?

But you closed down your previous account doc, because you were accused of bullying and mocking a poster's mental health.

And also the abominable Tubs and noel made a mess of it all. You defended them until the end. It was comical

Maybe it's his SIMs reality bleeding over.

Anyhow he's a lucky boy to have freshly ironed and folded y fronts left at the basement door.

We're here to discuss barter boy.

You seem to want to about mothers.

Why do you care so much about boards.ie not being relevant? I assume your just trolling.

You mean it would be like an elite athlete heading over to Ryan Tubridy to get advise on how best to win an Olympic gold medal?

Though in fairness I'd say Geraldine O'Leary could sort them out with ticket to the event, maybe even a bus to the venue. A hotel room … and some filp-flops.

Moderator: stop the personal jibes. It's clearly unnecessary but a repeated issue in this thread people getting personal. We don't want to have to start getting heavy-handed again with sanctions and that. Just use some common sense and let the personal stuff go please.

Bob have you taken any interest in any of the on goings at RTÉ? You do know that its not just about Ryan Tubridy. And that much of the fallout comes from the higher executives at the broadcaster and their mismanagement of the national broadcaster (5 were fired from their positions, they were on 7 figure sums of money, were they wonderful?).

For example like you they thought that they needed to pay very high wages to keep Tubs and co in RTÉ in case they left the station/channel, they thought that this would result in the exit of huge numbers of high profile presenters.

However, over the last ten years with the exit of such presenters RTÉ has seen no effect on their audience numbers, indeed as you so eloquently put it such presenters can have a successful careers outside of RTÉ possibly earning more than what they earned in RTÉ, this move would then allow RTÉ to allocate their prized programming spots to new presenters / actors / writers who might then move up in the broadcaster and then might consider moving from the broadcaster on to other rewarding career options either in the commercial sector in Ireland or potentially to the US or to London. This is the type of career they have.

I'd argue that you are more conservative than most here on boards, if anything most poster here are to the Left of politics and almost any centrist or potentially capitalist view is quickly moderated.

I don't consider this to be the site to change anything, I put my views up largely on the broadcast sector in this country, which I know a good bit about, I might be wrong some of the time and I will admit that. And I like to read other people's view, weather I agree with them or not.

I can agree some of the posts on this thread are just not very nice*, but other are simple critics of the presenter (which in his line of work he would expect to get) and others are simply putting forward that he wasn't worth his price in gold at RTÉ. These are just broad views.

You have yet to state yours on Tubrity as a presenter and his new show, if you even ever thought of listening.

PS I don't think boards was ever all that relevant. Its enjoyable to use. And why get at people if they enjoy something?

*too strong a word (hateful, I don't think anyone is being as such).

Dude. You don't need to tell us these things. It's not relevant to the conversation. I don't know why you do it. Just like your characteristion of almost everyone on here it's not necessary. You're overcompensating on an anonymous forum. As you say yourself this is not an important site.

The fact is Tubs is the subject of mirth a lot of the time and that's alright. He's had a honied career, based more on connections than talent, fair play to him, but many take grave and genuine exception to his carry over recent years. He's a symbol of much that is wrong with RTE and seems like a tone deaf ingrate. His stint on Virgin has been borderline ludicrous and amusing to observe. He should also give the Renault money back. Commenting on him, with some resentment admittedly, does not make us a bunch of sad, loser, parochial, rural, neckbeards as you continually imply.

Listened to 30 mins this morning. He's way too theatrical in his delivery. It sounds laboured between the gasps and quips and vocal peaks and troughs. Personally finding it taxing to listen to even with 2 minute interludes.

And let's not pretend that had it not been for those pesky auditors who copped some "bizarre irregularities in the accounts", Mr Tubridy would still be at RTE, still fronting his doddle of a radio programme and still pumping out death & misery on the Late Late Show.

I have no doubt that returning old buddy and lunching companion Kevin Bakhurst would be currently trying to find "new, exciting partnership opportunities for Ireland's flagship chat show" in order to shovel more unseen cash into Tub's bottomless pockets. Because you couldn't expect a broadcasting legend to subsist on a measly 400k a year, like!

We won't fool ourselves into thinking that there will be any major change at RTE. It's still a taxpayer funded knees up and always will be. But at least now they know we know and maybe won't take the absolute piss for the foreseeable. And at least the pisstaker-in-chief fell of his pedestal in Irish society and now has to show up for a realistic work schedule, for a realistic salary appropriate for his status in radio land.

Must be a fierce annoyance that it's called the Ryan Tubridy scandal everytime the bailout is mentioned in the media

I get the feeling Fionnan Sheehan gets a great kick out of keeping him wedded to this scandal!

I'm hopeful Tubs will be making an appearance with Patrick Kielty this autumn. I mean, he did nothing wrong. This is a fiasco of RTE's making. He was just a simple Toyman, concentrating only on making the best radio and TV possible. Trivialities like €150k top-ups were for his accountant to worry about. He was off eating 99s and thinking about the Beatles. He was hard done by. And now, as I think I heard somewhere, he's in London, playing senior hurling, with a partner and absolutely smashing it. He should swagger onto his old show and show Kielty how it's done.

Of course they'll take the piss, but under the banner "we all partied"©(Fianna Fail circa 2009)

Dee Forbes will probably appear on dancing with the canteen.

RTE have run highlights of the Late Late Show from time to time, why don’t they run Lowlights of the Late Late Show with canned laughter, of course Annie Murphy/Bishop Casey would be one of Gaybo’s fiascos, Pat Kenny & Dawn French another, but there’d be plenty of material from Tubbs too.

Sure it's all lehman brothers fault. That's why we're still paying usc.

O and also,the government have given rte a €725m funding deal. Harris says it gives almost unprecedented certainty.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122420063#Comment_122420063

I can a lot of court cases being lodged about political bias against rte.

Plus, this barter business isn't over. Like the Casey saga I'm sure there's plenty of new revelations ahead.
