To be fair, Rory is just so well known and famous that everyone calls him Rory. They aren't on a first name basis with Tiger Woods but I imagine they would call him Tiger
2 very boring men talking about Golf for the first 30 mins of the show last night. They also seem to be on first term names with Rory McIlroy. Rory this, Rory that
Apology accepted chief
Anyone that calls someone chief goes on ignore.
Apologies, it was your double post I saw.
Either way, you used the story of a gambling addict just to fuel your own agenda. You couldn't give a toss about Richie Power's plight.
As for 'blowing a gasket'. I'm perfectly fine. I laugh at people like you.
Wrong again chief. My QUESTION was posted before the show. Anyway simmer down there before you blow a gasket.
Double post
Ah g'way. You weren't asking a question. You posted (AFTER the show had aired) just to have a dig and nothing more.
Statement, question, proclamation, either way it was disingenuous and you didn't actually care what the answer was.
Way to use the story of a gambling addict to fuel your agenda though. You couldn't give two fiddlers what Richie Power had to go through.
Know the diff between a statement and a question? Clue is the ‘?’ chief.
Why do people come into this thread and make disingenuous statements to throw a dig at a show with out listening to it?
I don't like the OTB gambling sponsors as much as the next person but Christ, give it a rest and listen to the show to see if the issue you want covered was covered before making a fool of yourselves.
Joe asked Tommy Walsh about it last night during the discussion on hurling semi finals.
Given the nature of the addiction it was no surprise that Tommy didn't know what Power was going through at a time they were teammates winning All Irelands together.
Its obvious most maybe all of the bookies sponsorships have gone in the last 6 months, soccer used to be sponsored by PP is now is sponsored by Sky.
I wonder will Richie Power’s powerful story be covered in a meaningful way or do the gambling sponsors come first ?
Perfect, thanks
Does this work?
While I agree that Howe should be questioned, I did notice that Ger and Eoin looked decidedly uncomfortable last week when Jonathan Wilson was talking about a very litigious billionaire owner stifling journalism.
Can you send me your RSS feed for the football show? I can't seem to get them back on podcast addict.
Right on dude. Don't let that mindset win!!!
Ger was on the ball again this morning, when discussing the owners of Newcastle, and the manager Howe couldn't answer the vital important questions in the press conference.
Ger is right, as per usual. Great discussion with eoin this morning!
Yes. That's what I said.
John asked what would moyes do if a player murdered somone???
And funny you should say, attack the post not the poster, when your post replying to Billy ocean attacks posters of the radio forum.
They had a notice the other day in Twitter about some changes to their podcasts. Stopped working for me on Podcast Addict for a few days but back working again now. Probably no harm to drop them a tweet
I've noticed OTB podcasts seem to be gone from player fm.
Such an edgy post.
Your summation of media threads is my view exactly.
There was a thread started recently specifically for the purpose of cataloguing the supposed daily mistakes of one presenter.
That presenters show already has it's own thread!!
There is something very hateful about the motivation to start such a thread on something that you can so easily avoid. Psychologically it's very interesting but its still incredibly frustrating. And while the rest of the site, or significant portions of it, descent in to a police state in terms of moderation, there is no moderation of these forums anymore it seems and the place is just withering away.
(As for my specific position, I too simply avoid shows I don't enjoy. It's way too easy to access content I do so why would I do that to myself? I could avoid these threads in the same way but I have an issue with just letting the above mindset win and so I engage and respond to these posters and call them out on their negativity. And I am acutely aware that my content in this manner is probably as annoying as theirs and I get little to no enjoyment from the thread at this point, but so be it. Why should that attitude be allowed to dominate?)
Cool story. PC gone mad.
Ooooooh close one for Joe ! He might have been sacked or cancelled !
Christ, haha
I will field this I don’t listen to the show. Have Newstalk set in morning on radio. Then change it in evening when setting timer. Feel I just outgrew the show didn’t like it seemed predictable heard it all before. Only respect one presenter on it Nathan. As he thinks he’s on his feet plus no obvious agenda.
But as I said I just stopped listening. And I am much the better for it. In the boards radio topic in general it seems to be fuelled by posters who just want to gripe about a show at any chance.
Tubridy thread and liveline are the worst offender’s. But it permeates through most of the radio threads.
Where there is a cohort who feel they are soldiering with the ‘smartarse’ clique. Nothing objective about it. I don’t want to be one of ‘those’ posters. So if I don’t enjoy it I switch off. Simple.
Taking a perverse enjoyment about hating something/someone is odd to me. But maybe some are ‘entertained’ in that odd way. Most posters who do this seem like oddballs IMHO.
It’s the impression I get anyway. It seems to attract posters of that certain type of sneering mindset with f all else to do. Making up sneering boards ‘pet names’ for radio presenters etc. Oddball stuff.
It has ruined the radio topic in general because of this. Because it is so one sided. To the extent I assume many are put off engaging on it as they would previously. But sure if it is how people get their kicks and they are not breaking any laws - they could be doing worse I suppose.
Last night on the News round they were discussing an Irish woman who works for one of the F1 teams.
Joe explained that while she is not the team manager, she could make a mistake that would make her the fall guy. Or fall person as Joe quickly corrected himself.
