I've always had a grievance with the sound engineering on Newstalk shows. Listened to a Team 33 podcast once and the sound of a door being opened and closed in to whatever studio it was recorded in happened every 90 seconds or so. And I don't think it is as bad now as it used to be, but when Skype calls first became widely used, they hardly got through an interview across the entire station without having to apologize for the poor line quality.
The production on the "Team 33" shows in the early days (when it used to go out on a Tuesday night, I think) was piss poor, college radio type stuff. I've found it to be much better recently tho.
The mouse clicks and paper shuffling etc I personally find to be much worse on Radio 1, no matter what the show, you just cant listen on headphones with all of the background noise. Is a directional mic that hard to find these days??
I actually enjoy it better to off the ball itself
Yes I should have added that.... As a show, it's quite good and I enjoy it. Decent hour or so of football talk.
Off the ball need to get rid of Ritchie and a couple of others, their diction is horrendous.
I find it hard to understand Ritchie a lot of the time as you'll go from Joe who speaks clearly, to Ritchie who almost mumbles and speaks in this low monotonous voice.
Joe speaks in a generic broadcasting voice and could be from anywhere. The rest just speak in the accents of the places they are from. It's nice to hear regional accents on the radio instead of mid-Atlantic radio speak.
There's a reason it's called a broadcasting voice...if you want regional accents, go to a regional radio station, not a national one.
You came in here last week to bitch about a topic they covered on the show and wondered 'where the sport' is. Now after you were told what the relevance is you completely ignored it and you're now having another pop at the show.
I don't personally want to listen to the same type of broadcasting voice all the time. A bit of variety never hurt anybody and it's a stupid thing to find issue with in my opinion, no less saying the person needs to be sacked.
I didn't need to reply after my initial comment. I heard at the end of the interview that it was apparantly about Agnes Tirop, I didn't learn that from a boards comment.
I never mentioned anything about the accents by the way. He's a mumbler with low tone monotonous voice.
I'm not sure you need me to point out how silly that is.
Between Joe Molloy's mid Leinster private school pronunciations and Pat Nevin's Scottish mumbling last night, I'm done with the football show
Richie's dictation is fine. He's a chameleon of accents, but he's a bit of a smart arse at times
Wooly is leaving Joe.ie.
What are the odds on him doing a Ronaldo?
I think he fell out fairly badly with Ger Gilroy and has had plenty of swipes at him since so I'd say that door is shut. I'd expect he'll come up with his own show.
East Fife 4 Forfar 5
He's gone full anti covid restrictions on twitter. (he has a point tbf)
I thought it was just me or my hearing is gone but I can't understand Pat Nevin, he speaks too quickly and a Scottish accent is difficult to understand, but Souness is fine so was Hansen.
The girly-men must be creaming themselves with the Novak situation
Who are the girly men ?
Have a guess !
The woke boys who present the show? What’s their beef with yer man? I think Gilroy hates him?
Are you the girly man ? Are you covered in cream ?
The annual Nollaig na mBan Off the Ball Special. Six hours of Maire Treasa Ni Cheallaigh, or MT as her co-host just called her. Time to find something else to listen to for the afternoon.
Aka the annual boards.ie bitchfest at something trivial involving women on the radio.
Awful muck. I would say listenership is very low for this nonsense today
Who are this shower on the show today? Sounds like a transition year project. Very amateurish and embarrassing for the brand
You’re being harsh on transition years, it’s brutal!
Turgid stuff alright. What is the point bar the usual woke virtue signalling?
Isn't Nollaig na mBan sexist? Giving women a rest after all their housework over xmas? It's basically "thanks for the cleaning and cooking"
The regular lads just fancy the day off. FA Cup this weekend so no football commentary. Maire Treasa and he mates don't realise they're getting the p1ss taken out of them
