Who is Ireland's biggest chancer?

The_Dark_Lord · 06-11-2021 4:37pm #1

This would just be your own opinion, but someone who you think might only be their field for money or attention or whatever else.

I nominate Paddy Cosgrave. I think this guy is such a blatant chancer, who appears to fall out with everyone he comes into contact with. Look at how he's trying destroy Leo Varadker - he should be delighted Ireland is such a free country that he can say things like this and not face any repercussions. This guy takes money from the Chinese but never criticizes their appalling track record for human rights because they wouldn't afford him such a luxury of free speech.

Not to mention him falsely claiming 4 nurse died during the start of the pandemic and doubling down on his lie by alluding that the government, HSE and INMO were covering it up.

I cannot abide him, a chancer of the highest(or is it lowest) order.

Who do you nominate?

pappyodaniel · 06-11-2021 4:42pm

I nominate "celebrity" solicitor, Gerald Kean. He's a walking talking pr!ck in a suit.

Blindboy for his faux intellectual nonsense.

Lots of other suggestions I like already.

Conrad.. McGregor, or ‘Sir punch a lot’ as he should be known. Tries to paint himself as a man of the people donating to charity but can’t seem to go a day without punching someone in the face.

Bressie.

Eamon Ryan.

Gets a lift to the top of Kildare St. and cycles down to Leinster House.

whisky_galore · 06-11-2021 5:58pm

Hazel Chu, thankfully she seems to have gone quiet and stopped popping up as a talking head on every second show.

The Ballymaloe Mafia.

The Kilgarvan Cosa Nostra.

Walking_Wolf · 06-11-2021 6:06pm

And Hazel Chu - an absolute grifter who is only interested in climbing the social ladder.

It's got to be the ultimate bluffer waste of space......Bressie..... totally talentless but winging along as a " mental health' advocate

Fuascailteoir · 06-11-2021 7:07pm

Eddie Hobbs. Set himself up as some sort of financial guru or something and convinced people to invest 13 million in Brendan investments which subsequently whet tits up

Danny healy-rae....a man who isnt even county councillor standred,going into the dail talking utter bollocks.....not a patch on his brother

24 posts in and no one has mentioned John Delaney? Come on people! I am disappoint!

06-11-2021 8:04pm

Blindboy, Bressie and any "celebrity" who uses mental health as a crutch to stay relevant or deflect from **** behaviour

The majority of the RTE Luvvies who get so much appearances/shows on a regular basis, Vogue/Huberman/Bernard O'Shea/Doireann/Mario Rosenstock/Oliver Callanan and many more

"Models" or "socialites" who appear in the indo with banal stories Una Healy/James Patrice/James Kavanagh/Rosanna Davidson etc

Pavee Point/and all the NGO's - waste of money

Dr Joseph Ebaum

Hazel Chu and her insistence on bringing american style crap over here to try stay relevant/get a cushy political job by playing the race/gender card

06-11-2021 8:09pm

Stephen Donnelly, sold his principles to the highest bidder. And inevitably wound up as another opportunistic snake in the Government cesspit.

Finty Lemon · 06-11-2021 8:16pm

2 Johnnies, Anna Geary, Vogue Williams, Tubridy, Paul Murphy, Mick Wallace, Simon Harris, Violet Anne Wynne, Adam from the Toy Show, Enda McNulty. Take your pick.

100%. Personally I believe there should be zero opportunities for goonish grifters like Blindboy and Bressie to be on TV lecturing people on mental health... a psychologist, psychiatrist certainly or another suitably and formally qualified / accredited person... according to his wiki he’s even given mental health talks in schools ! What’s the craic with that being allowed ffs ?

Main offenders in descending order:

Simon "the lick" Harris

Vague Williams

Anna "I'm a lovable dote, me" Geary

Can't believe no one has mentioned Katheryn Thomas yet

How many more threads along the lines of 'Person you hate' does this place need.

Walking_Wolf · 06-11-2021 8:40pm

Ryan Tubridy. He make €500,000 a year doing a job he is woeful at.

I can never get enough opportunities to say how much Ryan Tubridy disgusts me...

And to pour salt onto the wound....he robs 500k a year from the licence fee payers...

MBE220d · 06-11-2021 8:47pm

Has to be Eamon Ryan for sure,

dhaughton99 · 06-11-2021 8:59pm

That ill kid who is always on the late late show. No, I don’t mean tubrity.

NIMAN · 06-11-2021 9:01pm

Based on the ludicrously daft promises he made this week in Glasgow, I'm going with Micheal Martin.

Dempo1 · 06-11-2021 9:02pm

Not in order of preference, just complete chancers the lot of them.

Brid Smith. Angry, nasty, shouty, attention seeking, politician. But absolutely nothing backing it up in terms of alternative policies. The closest she comes is to proudly declare herself a Trotskyist but won't answer any questions regarding the million+ Russians Ukrainians Poles, Latvians etc her beloved Trotsky had killed in the Russian Civil war. She simply hasn't a clue how to create anything and just wants to see the world burn.

Still stihl waters 3 · 06-11-2021 9:20pm

Has to be bertie, no bank account and won it all on the horses, he should be ostracised from society but I saw the prick giving an interview a couple of weeks ago in a hotel lobby in Dublin and hear him making a comeback on a couple of radio shows, a leech on society and still leeching

Spare a thought for Joe Duffy who actually just shows up to a studio for 75 minutes a day x 5 and rambles, he only gets €400K PA seems so unfair 🙄

Al Porter. He has some neck. who in their right mind would want to go see him now?

It would have to be Charlie Haughey, lived like a king at a time when most of the country barely had a pot to piss in.

DarkJager21 · 06-11-2021 9:34pm

“Al Porter. He has some neck. who in their right mind would want to go see him now?”

He’s about as funny as ass cancer and that’s before you even get in to what type of character he actually is. He can **** right off, hope he gets bottled at his “comeback” show.
