I tuned in tonight for my first experience of the 'Matt and Ivan' show. The format looks ridiculous. Two people chairing a discussion doesn't work. I couldn't help thinking that it was a reincarnation of The Two Ronnies, (without the jokes).

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 12:00am

"Goodnight from me and Goodnight from him"

Feck off Matt, ye are a long way from being the 'Two Ronnies'.

The biggest waster when it came to the water charges was Arrogant Kelly. He was the one who gave everybody €100 for nothing.

Exactly Arrogant Kelly, wouldn't have went on the show if Vincent had still been presenting it, as he would have been asked pertinent questions re' water charges such as why no provision made for people who couldn't afford to pay the charges, and no provision made for people with medical conditions requiring the use of extra water. i thought that the new presenters showed that they're no replacement for V B, by failing to ask Kelly why he favoured giving €100 to everybody regardless of income while penalising the afforementioned.
So on that alone the two new presenters will never be up to the standards of Vincent, who liked to remind any labour T D who had the guts to go on his show of their raison d'etre.

We'd all similar sentiment when the Greens went in with them. They are beyond cajoling.

I reckon only political anoraks and current affairs junkies will be able to cope with the Wednesday night (10 - 12:05) line-up.

I thought it was regrettable that they didn't have Vincent Browne on after Pat Kenny, on Wednesday nights.

I'd have looked forward to the two shows!:)

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:09pm

Matt Cooper is having another go at George Hook :mad:

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:10pm

This is almost freaky, two presenters. Don't like this format at all.

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:11pm

Oh guest cut off there . Tv3 Jesus

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:19pm

It's pretty clear that Sarah McInerney is no fan of George's.

I'd say it safe to assume from her comments that she is one of the 20 Newstalk employees who signed the petition.

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:23pm

"The lady who was just on before this"

What a gob****e she is. She's displaying no respect. Too busy getting her hair and make up done maybe????

Edit - no sexism meant or intended

Good on her. She seems to know her stuff.

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:27pm

I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on what Sarah & Elaine are saying, they're overly aggressive this evening.

MayoSalmon · 21-09-2017 11:29pm

Are we living in India here or something? Where are all these rapes happening?

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:29pm

Two presenters look like they wish they were in their beds.

Fork handles and the two Ronnies is going off on a tangent in relation to more serious issues that were not addressed by the two new presenters , who took over from Vincent , who would have definitely exposed Alan Kelly for the the fiasco that he created and hardship that he was going to impose on people.

cagefactor · 21-09-2017 11:31pm

I would hate to work with someone like Sarah, will take any opportunity to knife you in the back. Jumping on John before he was even allowed to finish his point.

Ah lot of women are just fed up with the rape of women and the culture of silence surrounding it. They are reflecting the anger of a lot of women in the country.

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:32pm

I thought that panel discussion was very poor.

The first guest, Niamh was a far more articulate and knowledgeable speaker and they cut her off. They really should have given her more time.

I used to like when she was a contributor to the Vincent Browne Show but unfortunately, she was far too aggressive when she was interviewing guests on Newstalk Drive

hotmail.com · 21-09-2017 11:36pm

Sarah a fantastic speaker on the topic tonight.

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:37pm

Ah yes the twitter feed show

vicwatson · 21-09-2017 11:38pm

So what? He's an Irish born person ffs

Vorenus400 · 21-09-2017 11:53pm

Are these two not competing with each other for radio listeners? I actually think Ivan might make Matt bring back some effort after all these years

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:55pm

I miss Vinny

.............. but I will say one positive thing about Matt & Ivan, they manage their time well and the newspaper preview isn't as rushed as before.

I thought so too. But Sarah jumped into attack him immediately. Hate how these people are so arrogant and intimidating, fully convinced that right is on their side.

Lady Chatterton · 21-09-2017 11:58pm

Leo is being a bit of a sm@rt @rse.

I know Timmy Dooley as I live in his constituency, he has been running (and taking part in charity 10kms) for years... long before Leo starting sharing his own fitness regime on social media.

I agree it's arrogant Alan Kelly from last night's show that they should be discussing!

Do you reckon it was because of her style of questioning that she no longer presents that show, and is now on Saturday mornings instead?

I was looking up what John McGuirk said about what was posted, by Janet O'Sullivan of the Abortion Rights Campaign, about Peter Matthews when he died.

Here are a items about it:

RTE must just be loving this, the newstalk presenters are knifing George Hook, as well as each other in a viscous frenzy. The credibility of Sarah is in the minus figures and her aggression has become worse since the humiliation of her prime time show thankfully being canned.
Elaine has huge credibility and isn't ill at all mannered or aggressive.
Ivan is gone to PC to last very long in the new Hard Neck Slot which he too knifed his ex comrade to get.
When this powder keg eventually goes up and it will! those who fired Hook under the bus Sarah, Dr. Kelly, Ivan and Chris will find it immensely difficult to find a microphone anywhere to rant into.

Culture of silence? WTF are you talking about.

Sarah is one of the new perpetually offended brigade who do more harm to their cause than good by shutting down debate they don't agree as a route to victory instead of actually DEBATING to try win the discussion.

The problem is they make their opponents seem reasonable by always turning their aggression up to 11 and refusing to engage at all with the discussion.

Tony EH · 22-09-2017 12:27pm

Watched this last night for the first time. Christ it was awful.

So sorry to see Vincent go.
