    Same old panel types on today

    Yer man Blair Horan retired from his union job ages ago yet still a fixture on Marian’s panel

    There's a discussion regarding misogynistic behaviour by male doctors within the cervical check controversy , even though the controversy had nothing to do with that and by the way panelists the head doctor for cervical check was a woman but never leave facts get in the way of an agenda by certain panelists and hosts.

    just 10 mins to the end of show and then the weekly 'TRUMP RANT HALF HOUR' .. it should be introduced as 'sponsored by the licence payer '.

    Manafort cooperating is some pretty substantial international news. Not discussing it would be like not discussing Watergate back in the day.

    This US commentator was on a few weeks ago and wasn’t able to contribute anything worthwhile to a conversation with Brendan

    If it was a 'discussion ', yes , this is not a ' discussion'.

    Has something inaccurate been stated? You're being outraged for the sake of it.

    Marian McKeown is a Democrat spokesperson when on with Matt Cooper.

    When she comes on Marian Finnucane she is a supposed impartial correspondent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    Noel Dorr is using ' we' a lot when speaking about personal opinions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,648 ✭✭✭honeybear


    Think they should have a good break before having her on again.Not a Trump fan, but even Marian F pulled her up on the bashing

    Who paid for that nult’s “90 flights” last year.

    FFS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,022 ✭✭✭anthonyjmaher


    I see that the shinners have nominated Liadh Ni Riada as their Presidential candidate. Very surprised after her short tempered and irritable performance when she was on with Marion a few weeks ago. I mean if she can't handle a few soft enough questions from Finucane, what is she gonna do when Pat Kenny goes after her like he did O'Broinn (on the water charges).

    Nult is a great word, we can always rely on you to add to the lexicon, Brendan.

    Is that Michael Sheridan you were referring to? I think he's the guy who played Bertie in the Bull Island satire a few years back. I assume he's employed outside of RTÉ now.

    Not sure Ty, just heard some spong boasting he had 90 flights last year.

    Was washing the cat so my attention was a bit askew:D

    20 mins of ' em- am am ' from Coveney now at least and she has a chesty cold/ flu / on top of the cacophony of snots coughs and wheezes we usually have ... will be a challenge to listen .

    Thought Coveney was unnecessarily defensive in that interview, Finucane kept having to interject to stop him from going on a few well-rehearsed political speeches.

    Why be so defensive when you're preaching to the choir about the need for a smooth UK withdrawal from the EU? His attitude made him sound like he's worried things aren't going as planned, which may be a cause for concern.

    Had to give up listening though, so I didn't hear the whole thing. It's hard to listen to wheezing when you are wearing headphones... Marian Finucane should have stayed home today with some sucky sweets and a pot of honey.

    I'd doubt any of these people have the answer to Brexit. Do they have to spend 40 minutes every week on this?

    Well maybe not a full 40 minutes every week but it is an important topic.
    This is history unfolding.

    Aye but you'd get awful sick of hearing the same three or four points being rehashed by the same voices again and again, all followed up by Marian itching to throw in 'but we have to remember the people voted for it, whether we like it or not' as though it was some amazing revelatory point.

    You would need to be a very regular listener. She gets a lot of those.

    And how would Matt Cooper feel if somebody wrote a book about him, and then went whoring it around all the usual stations gossiping about O'Leary's personal affairs like an oul fishwife.

    Very strange reading out the ingredients list on the back of packaging there to wind down the clock

    More lazy and cliched waffle this morning
