Do you like Ray Darcy???

unklerosco

Me, I hate him... Don't know the man.. met him once, quite small.

Its mainly down to his show on Today Fm. Dear god i can't stand it, i have to listen to it every morning cause the guy i work with doesn't like listening to music.... (long story)

Ps. I really really really can't stand his show, it makes me angry like when u tell Hulk Hogan that calling everyone brother makes no sense...


Ugghhhhh...

qz

No, no I don't..

Don't not like him. Definately don't like Tubridy anyway.

Rhyme

No, no I don't..

Always liked him, ever since Blackboard Jungle and The Den... good man

ratboy

No, no I don't..

Tubridy is an arrogant ****, darcy seems a nice guy, bit dull though.

unklerosco

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

Never thought of him... What the crap is he doing on TV??? He was born for radio... well with a face like that he does, always ignored me when i was doing deliveries in RTE...

youcancallmeal

anything is better than adrian kennedy or chris whatever his name is. George hook or jenny houston are the best people on radio

ratboy

No, no I don't..

Jenny Houston is god, the most influential person of the 21st century,

jonny68

No, no I don't..

Cant say ive anything against him myself

unklerosco

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

I must be the only one......

Cant stand the chap in his current state (good back in the Den) - he actually crashes and burns joke wise on live tv. oh the humanity. Turbidy is worse mind you.

ratboy

No, no I don't..

Tubridy is the worst thing to happen to irish radio since that other knob end Gay Byrne.

ratboy

No, no I don't..

Tubridy once said his fave beatle was Paul, how did this guy ever get employed?

Dave!

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

I hate him, he's way too cheesy... it makes me cringe.

I like Ryan Tubridy, though. He's quite smart, likes good music.

Rhyme

No, no I don't..

Thank you... a bit of support for the geek in shining armour is always welcome

BLITZ_Molloy

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

He's not rude or obnoxious like Tubridy or Pat Kenny, but he's ferociously dull.

Frankly, I think all the mainstream DJ's are pretty dreadful. I prefer the off peak ones like Dave Fanning. Less bull**** competitions, phone ins and much better music.

edit: P.S. the only positive thing about Tubridy being on the radio is you don't have to look at his ugly mug.

Pacifico

No, no I don't..

Tubirdy? *shuders*

Ray's a legend

mad m

No, no I don't..

Unklerosco,

You looking to be mentioned on his show or something, .Seeing as he has mentioned boards before on his show.

I like auld Ray & Jenny.

I agree. His "Rose Of Tralee" performance this year was horrific. I quite like his radio show though, whenever I get a chance to listen to it.

Moncrieff is the man with the plan though.

Big Ears

No, no I don't..

I like her too , although probably not to the same degree as you .

Can't stand listening to Moncrieff anymore anytime I tune in he's reading out some braindead texts.

Never, I would ring up n complain if my name was mentioned.... At last im getting some support.

Just so ye know i listen to breakfast express on Spin 103... crap music but i like their humour.

Turner

No, no I don't..

Darcy is a dream to listen to.. Somebody whos actually intelligent and speaks properly and provides an interesting show to listen to.

Aswell, he doesnt call himself Dusty Roads or some other crap dj name.
He doesnt run a moronic show like the strawberry alarm clock.
He doesnt bore you like some of the depressing talk on Gerry Ryan.
He doesnt allow the type of eejits that read the Sun or Sunday World on air that are allowed on FM104 and 98FM's talk shows.

He deejayed at one of my christmas partys before in the RDS and I must say he was an excellent Dj... If a little small standing behind those decks.

Darcy for President...

senordingdong

No, no I don't..

Ray for president!

Turner

No, no I don't..

The Yes's are clearly winning.

Should put him in a good mood tmrw morning when he hears of this.

Pacifico

No, no I don't..

Did he really mention boards before??

senordingdong

No, no I don't..

Looks like he may mention it again.

Pacifico

No, no I don't..

The question here should be: Why wouldn't you like Ray Darcy...

Le Rack

No, no I don't..

Don't you dare ever diss Ray Darcy again!!!!
The man is legend!
Ray is to me what the Hoff is like to so many out there!
What's not to like?
He's a little dote
Funny
Sound (met him once/twice)
And I had a crush on him when I was yay high (shorter than him) He was my first celebrity crush!

Pigman II

No, no I don't..

Ray is a legend. I'd keep him in a pint glass on my bookshelf if I could.

I loved that show he did back in the 80's with those odd-looking, spotty faced, bickering idiots. What was it called again? Oh yeah Blackboard jungle!

Tiriel

gotta say I love Ray. His voice cheers me up in the morning, kind of snaps me out of doziness and slams me into reality!! Think the show is great, it's honest and it's modern.. plus Ray is himself.. no bull at all. Oh and Jenny is great too. It's a nice team!!

Jonny Arson

No, no I don't..

Ray is God! Him and Zig and Zag made my childhood! DO NOT DISRESPECT RAY!

Kernel

JimJim on 104 strawberry often makes me smirk in the mornings, and that's no mean feat.

Pighead

No, no I don't..

Ah c'mon lads lets face it the D'arcy we see in front of us in 2005 is a sham.The guy has got a severe case of "I wanna be just like Tommy Tiernen-itis"
He was grand back in the day because he came acoss as a gentle quite naive buffoon who enjoyed the company of socks and buttons and furry things.He done a section on skateboards once fro Jo Maxi and in a desperate attempt to fit in, he used the terms rad and cool repeatedly.Car crash TV at its best

Some may say i'm being harsh.I can hear you all now,
"ah leave him alone Pighead he was young back then,we all acted like fools when we were youngsters".
WRONG!The lad was in his late 20's for fcuk sake.Having to look up to Dustin The Turkey on the Den must have been a real kick in the balls. It must have hurt when the feathered star got more laughs.

But anyway apart from all that he was still likeable,but not no more.In the last 3-4 years he has mutated into Rayommy D'arciernan.Have you ever seen him interview Tommy Tiernan,you can almost hear the poo hit his underpants as he squirms and stutters out questions towards his hero.Watch Tommys first live DVD and I guarantee you you will notice plenty of Ray-isms on offer.
Ray,you've changed buddy.I want that gormless loveable fool back.

at last

Jesper

No, no I don't..

Ray is a legend. Since the Den until now and forever Please God. Waking up Friday mornings in college dying and listening into fix it Friday, O happy days.
Real humour not faked or planned. Gets everybody involved. Travels the country with his show. Laughs at all the other stupid jokes out there. Even said F*** on air today because he was giving the results of some pole or another that said cursing is good for leaving of steam. Because thats the kind of guy he is.
Tuberdy is a arrogent self indulgent P***k. All he does is laugh at his own Fraiser Krane jokes and pokes fun.

On a slightly different topic Ray wants people to text in if they would like a "Best Off" The Den DVD. I for one would love it. It would be my child hood on DVD.

Ohhhhhhhhh he's so cool..... I can't stand him, the thoughts of having to listen to him tomorrow make me sick.. If i plan it right i'll fall asleep before he starts n wake up in belfast just after he's done.. Here's hoping

I could never stand dave fanning until i saw him on your a star, he was class, took the p*** left right and centre, actually watched it a few times just to hear him making a mockerey of the whole thing and sticking up for the decent bands that were getting a hard time on it.

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

I like Ray tbh, he was great in the Den(just look at it now, for shame ), like his radio show when I get the chance to hear it.
A whole lot better than Ryan Tubridy anyway, I hate that guy.

Jesper

No, no I don't..

Ohhhhhhhhh he's so cool.....
Yes he is, You're finally getting the message

Do you think Tuberdy or Jerry Ryan would lower their high and mighty superior middle class view of themselves to say such a vulgarity. Never.
Only this week Ray is doing work for the multisurosis society of Ireland and trying to get a book of photo's of just one day from around the country together for the charity. His charty works are numerous and he manages to involve everyone in them and make them entertaining. What other show could even consider it. Legend of a show. Legend of a team.

Strawberry Alarm Clock on FM104 - only thing worth listening to in the morning.

And what is it with all the dull talkshows on almost every other station at 5/6pm? Drivetime people... like primetime hours on TV

Dave!

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

Am I the only one who can't listen to Adrian Kennedy's talk show thing without getting extrEMELY frustrated? I just want to kill every single person who phones in to that show! :mad:

One of these days I'm gonna ring in...

_Kaiser_

Im not sure, he's Irish n everyone loves the Irish...

I used to listen to it years ago when Chris Barry was still doing it. Never was too fond of Adrian. Turned it on for the first time in ages the other night about quarter to 1 and this girl was bemoning the fact that she can't find a "decent" guy.

Cue lots of texts to the show from lads offering to take her out if she <insert sexual act of choice here>. They rang 2 of em back - one of them sounded about 12 and the other refused to answer his mobile! :rolleyes:

Then they played out on that godawful German kids song - snappy snappy snappy or whatever its called!

.. Looks like I haven't missed anything but the Strawberry Alarm Clock is usually entertaining (even if that bit this morning with the girl cutting up her cheatin fella's suits was staged I reckon)

You are my polar opposite.

I hate everything about FM104 especially its unfunny crap Strawberry alarm cock. One of the girls in the office goes ballastic if you turn it off/down.

I like to listen to the Last Word when driving home and think Ray D'Arcy's show is class.

Turner

No, no I don't..

Yeah i hate fm104, all the stupid jingles, like the "fantastic five at five" or "10 hits played non stop" which they play in between every song.

Just play the freakin music. I suppose you do get to actually hear the audience they play for on the talk shows!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
