The Stand With Eamon Dunphy

Arghus · 20-06-2022 4:19pm

Pretty sure it's me you are referring too.

I used to stick up for him a fair bit too, felt that he was more right than wrong and called things that got him loads of flak, but that turned out to happen in the end.

But as the above poster has just said, the game changed with omicron and he doesn't appear to recognise that and tbh I haven't listened to any of his appearances in a good while.

Ryan had long long lost the plot since very early 2021 (January and definitely February) when he started changing the dates on his "projections" every episode

He was still calling for 5km and even 2km lockdowns in April / May 2021 as if vaccines didn't exist

McGrath5 · 18-07-2022 10:45am

Fionnan Sheahan's description last week of Catherine Martin's business class trips was pretty funny.

I think he is one of the stronger guests and helps that he isn't on very regularly meaning there is plenty of fat to chew on when he appears.

dulpit · 19-07-2022 6:23am

He's ridiculously biased though. Hates the greens, hates the shinners

72sheep · 27-07-2022 10:08pm

It's now two months since the last The Ryan Project episode. Their mission was to inform and protect us (from Covid's "carcrash"-like symptoms reported by Tomas, a young healthy man). Today RTE reported about the 60+ symptoms of Long Covid, will the physiotherapists clinics be able to address all of these? Do we need to round up and vaccinate all the infants in order to prevent transmission?

But all we have is silence... Why oh why have Eamo and Tomas forsaken us so? Do they no longer care about granny at all?! lol

jimwallace197 · 03-08-2022 5:13pm

Been listening to it for the last two months now. Best contributors imo are Giles, Brady, Tallant, Fionan Sheehan, Chris Johns up to a point, Niall Stanage is not for me although I respect him.

Could listen to Dunphy daily but the podcast suffers from a lack of variety, like a previous poster said, it feels like American politics, UK politics & the Kinehans 90% of the time. Would be great if he could branch out into different topics a little more. Hes more than capable.

Mantis Toboggan · 05-08-2022 10:15am

Hadn't listened to this in a while but stuck it on recently and it's riddled with ads, is this a new thing? What happened to tesco?

He switched to Acast a few months back.

jimwallace197 · 05-08-2022 1:54pm

How long is on holidays for?? The same as the politicans?:) six weeks. Hes full of it sometimes but has a very good way of getting his points across even though sometimes he contradicts himself. He just seems very well suited to this type of work, pity his career in presenting TV shows didnt really take off.

3 weeks I believe - he usually shuts up shop at this of year. In fairness to Eamon considering his age he does well to churn out the volume of content he does for the rest of the year.

72sheep · 06-08-2022 12:44am

The Daily Mail today reports on new Long Covid UK ONS data which mentions a "dizzying array of symptoms have been attributed to long Covid, including: [...wait for it...] feeling sick".

OMG Eamo and The Ryan Project where is your humanity? You callous, cold-hearted, granny-jeopardising fans-of-the-scientific-method, there are people out there that are "feeling sick". Where are you in our hour of need? Surely there's some medication we should be mandated to take, please let it be so ;-)

Your obsession with "the Ryan project" is getting almost as tiresome as Ryan was himself. Fortunately he seems to have gone away but you keep bringing him back up.

72sheep · 06-08-2022 3:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119436358#Comment_119436358

But there are others readers though who are very interested indeed. If The Ryan Project’s disappearance is now to be deemed unremarkable then they might think we did not notice his appliance of science that came before ;-)

Arghus · 06-08-2022 3:51pm

I'd just like to back that other guy up there: these constant mentions of "the ryan project".... Might be time to let it go and move on.

Id love it if he did more crime related stuff & sports. I think hes excellent at that. When it comes to politics, hes very unbalanced & nowhere near impartial enough on most matters to be a good presenter. He has the same guys on continuously spouting what he believes. He has an excellent voice & way of speaking & I could listen to him most days but hes extremely biased.

When you look into his tough childhood & upbringing but then subsequent success, its clear why hes a bit of a champagne socialist living in Rathmines now. Probably has some sort of guilt complex like a lot of well off people do.

Lads, at the end of the last episode we'd learnt that Long Covid is "no joke” and Tomas described his Covid symptoms as akin to being in a car crash. So serious concerns raised again. Maybe that’s the end of a chapter but it’s not a conclusion to the book; you can’t just choose to stop the science whenever you fee like it. Unless of course this is going to be The Ryan Project’s Unfinished Oeuvre, lol!

72sheep · 25-08-2022 1:40pm

*Trigger warning* Readers that don't appreciate follow-up should look away now.

It's been 3 months since The Ryan Project's last episode where he painted a fairly dire picture: "carcrash" symptoms in young men, long Covid is serious stuff. Is Tomas ever going to tell us it's safe to come out? Real scientists can change their mind when the facts change but in this case our scientist instead appears to have gone awol ;-)

25-08-2022 3:06pm

Zzzz ;-)

72sheep · 17-09-2022 8:49pm

Good news, Tomas is giving a talk in Dublin in the next week or so which includes Covid as an agenda item. A return to the podcast surely then must be imminent... unless Eamo is not inviting him (which would be a cruel forsaking of the person who saved the lives of the entire team) or The Ryan Project is declining those invitations (possibly he does not like how the latest data reflects on his scientific methods). Will be intreeeeeeging to see... :-)

Interesting to who? You and the obsessed souls who can't stop posting in the Covid forums? If you got off the internet and looked around, you'd see that the vast majority of the population are going about their lives as normal again. Human nature being what it is, I reckon most people do not want to rake over the coals of 2020 and 2021 but want to get on with their lives.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119634255#Comment_119634255

Lads, it's a sign of a healthy open society when we expect our scientists, who've had very strong public opinions on a national crisis, to explain their position as time progresses. This is how we learn. There's nothing to be afraid of here, Tomas chatting to Eamo is not going to prompt a new variant ;-)

Tork · 18-09-2022 8:59pm

This is a thread about Eamon Dunphy's podcast, not about Covid. There are plenty of threads here where you can discuss Tomás Ryan and his Zero covid buddies if you so wish. I have just looked down through my podcast feed for when he last had Tomás Ryan on. It was 26th May - nearly 4 months ago. He has only had one recent Covid-related episode and he wasn't on it. People now have far more pressing things to be worried about than a pandemic that seems to be on its way out. It's possible even Eamon senses what way the wind is blowing.

hawley · 26-09-2022 5:03pm

According to Eamon we've only lost one out the last ten under Kenny. We've actually lost three out of the last five.

Yeah that raised my hackles alright

For Forks Sake · 26-09-2022 5:30pm

Has Eamon ever made any mention of what became of his modern-day Lord Haw-Haw (Kremlin shill Bryan MacDonald)?

He's not been on since the invasion started, indeed his previous non-stop Twitter a/c has gone silent since 26th Feb, beginning to suspect Vlad had him dropped out a window at this stage.

Still Ill · 26-09-2022 7:24pm

Anyone know whose article he was referring to in today's football podcast? Seemed to be someone he's not too fond of.. Sadlier or Damien Delaney? Or someone else?

This was the last I heard of him anyway. Always found the podcasts the featured on amusing. Wonder if he's eligible for mobilisation..

jimwallace197 · 26-09-2022 8:00pm

Yah, and i like Dunphy and subscribe to his podcast but Kenny deserves to be called out. We took a lead which was nice but Kenny and his team didnt react anywhere they near quick enough to the pressure they were putting on us.

Phillip Quinn I’d say for the Irish daily mail but that would be a guess.

applehunter · 27-09-2022 3:00am

Some beauties on this show the last few weeks.

gypsy79 · 28-09-2022 10:30am

His leading questions are getting ridiculous at this stage

He must pay a nice fee for these people to come on or else none of them have any integrity

The constant linking everyone to the Conservatives is embarrassing. He said that Hungary was no longer a democracy recently!

jimwallace197 · 28-09-2022 1:55pm

I thought Johnny O'Reilly today was excellent, hes one of my favorite guests, seems to have a good level of insight into whats going on in Ukraine & Russia.

When it comes to politics, I agree, hes far too biased & seems to only see things one way. I wouldnt be the biggest fan of Stanage but at least he does seem to have a handle on whats going on over in the states. Not a fan of William Yang either & Chris Jones, I could take or leave him. I think the show would benefit alot more if he had more diverse people on with different political views.

I think hes got a good rapport & camaraderie with Giles & Brady, very enjoyable listening to them although I can appreciate they're not as up to speed as they should be with football. He bounces off Nicola Tallent well too so much so that I started listening to her podcast as well.

Didnt like Fionnan Sheehan before the show at all but since listening to this podcast, I have a new found respect for him.

gypsy79 · 29-09-2022 9:59am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119675961#Comment_119675961

And that article you quote doesnt say it isnt a democracy

Not been a full democracy is very different. Someone could (I am not gonna bother going that far) claim the exact same about Ireland given how MSM decide what facts are allowed to be discussed. Thats a completely different issue

But what you have done is just highlight the hyperbole that Eamo is guilty of over and over. He takes the spirit of the truth and manipulates the truth to what he wants the truth to be.

29-09-2022 1:01pm

I don't know to say. That article seems pretty straight-forward. Life is too short to argue the semantics of Eamon's language.

gypsy79 · 12-10-2022 5:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119680184#Comment_119680184

You are a class act.....I said something but it didnt really say it but I will get out of it on by using the word semantics

Everyone will think I am clever

Do you know what a democracy is?

GeorgeBailey · 27-10-2022 9:57pm

Anyone know what the story is with the lack of Niall Stanage?

His last tweet is below. It's from 17th October and appears to be Belfast. So can only presume he's on his holidays..

Thanks for that gypsy and it might explain why we've not heard from The Ryan Project in over 6 months, Eamo has pulled the plug on his scientific hysterics :-)

There's something very funny about the stand being sponsored by Ibec at the moment. It goes against what Dunphy would profess his politics to be (although probably indicates that its all about the money baby really)

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119967317#Comment_119967317

ok podcast fans (and certain specific interested readers :) ... it's been nearly a year since last episode... whatever happened to:

- "Long Covid is no joke"

- the Ryan Project experiencing "carcrash-like symptoms" from his bout with Covid

- the "deadly game" that Sweden elected to play with Covid

C'mon Eamo, let's have Tomas or that football supporter in Sweden back on for a status update on "the science". We don't want those pensioners feeling it's safe to go outside again do we ;-)

03-03-2023 7:47pm

I think it isn’t that good anymore. Chris Johns and Niall Stanage on every week pretty much saying the same thing. Stanage is decent if something is happening in the US but the US is a bit dull at the minute
