Lads, Matt does a great job a real pro, but jebus the amount of ads these days are really starting to piss me off.

And the crappy traffic reports, does anyone listen to this crap, its the same traffic jams on the same roads every day for the last 10 years

The 5 @ 5 6 @ 6 business is pure cringe, probably the idea of someone just out of college with a Morketing degree

Mark Lawrenson is the most sarcastic, know-it-all pundit out there. No harm at all in bringing him down a peg or two!

Dont forget Neil Francis - he definitely deserves that title too.

Ya, he definitely qualifies for that title too, but at least he is fairly knowledgeable on his subject matter. Lawrenson just relies on the same old tired cliches

I like Neil Francis notwithstanding the extraordinary arrogance. In fact, I'd nearly say I like him because of the arrogance!

I love the way he starts every answer he gives with a hugely condescending, "mmmh yeah..."

Francis isn't half as knowledgable as he thinks he is.

Neil Francis is exceptionally knowledgeable about rugby. Boards.ie users ime not so much.

How do you know what any boards.ie user knows about rugby? His articles are so often about rubbish random things that comes into his head. Case in point, he wrote an article last year saying that props should be limited in weight to 120kgs and back rows 110kgs (for example). No basis for it, no scientific research behind it, he just picked out arbitrary figures out of his arse. In 2013, he also linked Jonah Lomu's nephrotic syndrome to steroid use without any basis in fact.

CatFromHue

he didn't say steroid, he said creatine

Any one get that competition question

I noticed that too. I think its terrible, and sounds like a regional youth station when they do that. What's next Todays five word weather ??
News should not be interaction between the presenter and newsreader. Its sounds all scripted between them.

NIMAN

Of course its scripted, sure Matt has to start by asking about a news story, then she goes off and tells us about it.

Tacky beyond belief.

This might be a rhetorical question but what the hell is Paul Kimmages problem. He was beyond rude to Mark Lawrenson there and kept referring to him as 'Expert'. Did they have a bit of a spat?

Who hasn't Kimmage fallen out with more like?

That's what makes him such a compelling character. He'd start a row in an empty room.

The 2 nitwits he has on this evening (and every Wednesday evening?) doing the TV review are incredibly irritating.
Patrick Freane can't stop giggling like a little girl at every one of his own lame comments and his sidekick Jennifer (?) has the most generic marbles in her mouth D4 accent imaginable. So yeah, ummmm, loike...

That pair, along with squeaky Matt all on at once together is an instant channel changer. I had to switch over to Gareth on 4FM ffs.

Who was the American woman debating with Fintan O'Toole the other night about Donald Trump.(I just want to know who she is so I can see what she looks like).

Thanks man.

Having read her wikipedia profile just now she sounds like a complete nutter.

It went downhill about 1min into his introduction at 4:30pm, when he said "we have 2 competitions tonight".

Jez, I hate those radio competitions, and how often we have to have the details read out. And now we are going to have 2 every day!

To be fair, she didn't sound particularly sane when talking on the radio the other evening. Surely it's possible to be a republican/conservative without slavishly following Donald Trump?

This week's flavour of the month.

I'm just glad that MaryLou McDonnell isn't the go-to guest any more.

That's true but I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt because I'm not following the Trump situation that closely but after reading up on some of the rubbish she's spouted over the years I won't be paying any attention to her opinion ever again.

Wish they'd get rid of Jennifer Gannon for the TV slot. If the show doesn't celebrate feminism, homosexuality or multiculturalism then it won't get the time of day. Not everything has to have some sort of social message.

How did Nick Webb get selected for the business slot. He can't make it through a sentence without an ahhh. I would say his podcast is blinding.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

i don't get the nick webb hate at all, i think he's grand. i like business news and he's got a bit of charisma to him. very strange accent though

dominatinMC

I wouldn't say I "hate" Nick Webb, just find him unbelievably annoying on the radio. He's a decent journalist IMO (I read his pieces in the Sindo every so often, and his book "The Untouchables" wasn't bad) but that doesn't always translate to radio. His is a case of stick to print media I think!

Agreed. I couldn't put my finger on what annoyed me about her selections and she always adds on a dopey reality show as a favourite too
