Wow! Pretty unbeliavable stuff.
There's no travellers or disabled players on the team either!
Strange how Callum Robinson avoided such criticism with his anti-vax stance. Wonder why that was?
I doubt you know much about making a woman moan !
That’s some very strong language there. I can safely say there’s absolutely no “hatred”, as you term it, here. We likely all have wives, girlfriends, sisters, female bosses etc who we hold in the highest esteem. What you are seeing here is annoyance at the show dropping in quality and the presenters of the show repeatedly imposing their social politics on the listenership. By the sounds of it, they’ve done a good job on you. Look at the Djokovic coverage this week. An ugly, grotesque, politically-motivated witch hunt that seeks only to describe the characteristics of a “good person”. Good people vaccinate themselves so Djokovic = bad man. And before you go there, yes, I am vaccinated.
It's pretty easy to come on here moaning about women too, though, isn't it?
But it's not just 'criticism', some of the stuff written in this thread is pure hatred, and some of them make it very personal whether it's towards male or female presenters.
As for your little lecture about helping out with female sports, how do you know I and others here don't do that already?
EDIT: Just to add to this, people here wouldn't give a ****. I'm just a 'virginal' chap looking for a sympathy ride going by the logic here. Why should I entertain that bollocks and just chuckle along with it? It's not going to change the minds of some misogynistic scumbags here.
Watch them all reply being all offended and telling me I'm disgraceful for just throwing that phrase about when the most activity in this thread in a while has been about the women being let on the radio and they're trying to fool us and themselves by saying it's nothing to do with the fact it's women on the radio.
People here have said they listened to very little on the show yet seem to know everything about it. They're either bullshitters or they're making assumptions on what the thick girls were saying.
And then some of them are called out on it and they give you troll-y answers and don't even bother their arses to engage.
But yet I'm the one that has to go out and support women's sport?
It would be a better use of people's time to actually help out at female sports - playing, administration, fundraising, coaching etc - rather than going on boards looking for thanks by taking the high moral ground when somebody criticises having female presenters and guests who are poor at their job.
Although it's easier just to go on boards isn't it.
I'd wager the virginal chaps are the ones on here taking breaks from whatever they get up to in their mother's spare room to gnash their teeth and mash their fists at the keypad over some women on the radio once a year. I'm not sure there's too many other than the angry men of Boards and the concerned citizens to impress on here.

I’d venture it’s closer to your home….
I only asked you a question, no need to be so rude.
You speaking like that because your description is a little closer to home?
Funny enough, neither AIL or the League of Ireland get much coverage on National stations like Newstalk. Next to none in fact unless there is something negative to talk about in the LOI . Bear in mind, in or around 2010s , Newstalk took from RTE Radio (an excellent service on Friday night) the coverage of league of Ireland games. They had their bill boards around many club's grounds. Bar the odd UEFA Cup game, the level of live coverage of said League of Ireland games on their radio station was next to none
So in comparison to two leagues that can still get 1,000 plus PAYING customers (and no discounts) to attend games every weekend, the girls are still getting far more attention on the radio
Jaye's point was the women got a chance to show what their product was worth by having their game held at Twickenham and said game televised. It said a lot that the vast majority of the ground left the stadium immediately after the men's game, knowing well that the girl's game was on next. As he pointed out, and as the cameras showed, a very sizeable proportion of the 80,000 who watched the men's game were women. Even the women couldn't be bothered.
Radio and tv stations are there to make money , by the way. They aren't always going to show any interest in broadcasting events that simply don't attract an audience. RTE barely even bother showing any AIL and LOI games . But for TG4 , things would be worse
LOI have decided to set up their own match day streaming and it apparently is going really well.
I remember that Ireland game lol. RTE even televised the girls game (Think Ireland men got beaten so the mood would not have been great) ! The smarter thing would have been to have the girls play first, with about half hour in between so that the grounds men /women could fix the pitch . Just like the GAA use to hold minor games before the Seniors
From what I recall, the crowd emptied out really quickly. Brian O'Driscoll came out (in his suit) for about twenty minutes to watch the game and fecked off back in for dinner. None of the other players bothered their backside to watch the game from the side lines
Similar thing happened in the ladies GAA All Ireland Semis . The lads u20s All Ireland was held first. They got a big crowd from Roscommon . Emptied out when the girls (Meath) came out . To be fair the girls came was decent
challenged?
In all seriousness though, surely people can't be ok with having women just because they're women.
I think it says a lot that they have these token women hanging off the coat tails of the men. You won't see papers hiring crap women journos for the sake of it because the clicks wouldn't come. But tagging a woman onto a mens show won't affect advertising so they can do it.
Doesn't make for pleasant listening for the audience when they have these token women who are terrible.
Next thing we'll be seeing Ger Gilroy getting a breast augmentation.
Are you?
Why do you think I asked you?
Or are you one of those who uses these buzzwords and you’ve no idea what they mean?
What do you think it means?
What does virtue signalling mean?
“I know you are, but what am I?”
Aw! And I thought you’d be happy with a nice opportunity for a bit of virtue signalling !
Hi hun ! Hope ya doin’ ok !
Thread was quiet for months and it only took the wimmin for the creatures to emerge from under their rocks! Hope ye are all ok lads. Hugs.
.... wasn't last Sunday's (Jan 2nd) show presented by "the wimmin" as well? Why no outcry then?
Bit much from the fella whose vocabulary extends to 'triggered'.
I figured you'd struggle so I numbered the points specifically to help you.
Take your time, a good nights sleep will probably help get your head around it.
Bit much from the fella whose vocabulary extends to 'woke'.
Double yawn. Your answer is all kinds of sh1t soup, a Frankenstein reply with all your best bits sewn crudely together into some grotesque incoherent mess. I might give a more specific response some other time, or if I can be @rsed to pick it apart. It would be so facile, it’s barely worth it.
ya…..
