Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

That Martin king lad bigging RT up on insta.
Wonder if a move to Ballymount on the cards?
There has been a raft of articles saying he could go down the legal route. OK I put two together and said he was going down that route in my post I should have clarified it was only suggestion. I was in stream of thought and got carried away in my wording.
let me edit the paragraph where I said that below:
But it has been reiterated he might go down the legal route. This sums up his whole persona in one sentence as a bully. He’s bullying the public into his view by going legal. He’s also writing off his chances of ever having a career here or elsewhere. RTE won’t touch him if he goes legal with them. He is writing off the next three years if he goes legal.
Tubbs latest update is Dissappointing.
His way of saying "wait a sec, ive an ace up my sleeve!;"
This is not a Gaeity Panto where Tubbs was cast as the villain.
When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.
Unfortunately for Kelly, the aggressiveness that's served him well thus far is the same thing that will undo him in the end.
As another poster said "there's a time to kick ass and a time to lick ass". Noel Kelly doesn't have great political instincts. That rat-like instinct for self preservation that all successful politicians need. That nose for the direction of the wind that's blowing your ship onto the rocks.
He's misjudged this situation entirely but he won't accept it. He doesn't know what a Sunk-Cost Fallacy is, so like the desperate gambler... he's continuing to drop money in the mistaken belief that he can rescue the situation.
The Toy Show the Musical sets are in storage somewhere... maybe RT could make an offer.
A deal is close. Personal terms agreed. Ryan ready to travel to Ballymount on the Vespa for medical.
I’ve a strong feeling that this will be the case.
if there is a more talentless lad around the airwaves than Tubridy my money is on Martin King
Ryan may just like photographing coastlines. His next pan shot could very well be of Galway Bay to the sound of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way".
Could it be that he's listening to Rumours?
Stay Tuned.
Watch this space with baited breath
more like “Never Going Back Again”🤪
Oh yes it is 😂
100%
Likes of Tubs show had hundreds of thousands of listeners already with the radio on from Morning Ireland and simply didn't turn it over.
Same for LiveLine. The show will get listeners irrespective of the host.
If Tubs, D'Arcy and Duffy bring in so much money, how come a few of their shows went without sponsors for long periods of time? Surely advertisers would be falling over themselves to book slots in the show?
Exactly.
That argument and the rubbish peddled by RTE for far too many years, about how the 'talent' would go elsewhere if not paid vast salaries, are now both completely dead in the water.
It also looks like neither the public or RTÉ are willing to hold onto this “talent” at any cost.
Duffy is lucky, he’s approaching the end of his goldmine anyway; BOC will keep his head down and say nutt’in. Miriam doesn’t have such a hectic schedule anyway with RTÉ ( who does sez you) - she gets 263k I think for her trouble - I’m fairness she’s better and more capable than most in there so wouldn’t begrudge it
280k for Claire Byrne and 250k for Ray Darcy
I think all of them have taken pay cuts in recent years so those salaries a very low compared to what they were but even then, it’s way too much for the jobs they do .
Jesus, I read a few of the responses to his Istagram post, mainly from women it looks like, all full of pity for poor Tubs. He certainly fooled some.
There's a lot of stupid folk about.
I would laugh for a week if Virgin were to offer him a Friday night chatshow in an attempt to steal the market share out from underneath RTE and scupper Kielty. TV3 gave one to Dunphy many moons ago. I honestly don't think anyone in Ballymount could be so mad as to risk it!
My god but the man just doesn't know when to stop.
I guess humility was never a option.
Nor knowing when to back away and think.
If virgin do take him, they're truly welcome to him.
It would be complete bonkers to go up against TLLS, not least because PK is new and shiney but even that aside, TLLS will have a few hundred thousand viewers regardless of presenter- it definitely won’t be that as there’s a very limited viewership on a Friday night at 9-11.
I don’t think this will be a TV “show” per se- it will be an independent production, possibly being sold/shown on BBC first.
I don’t think it will be radio simply because it’s just too soon since last weeks news- but given he left TLLS months ago and had planned to go even longer, I think it will be TV but a documentary rather than a live chat show thing.
Hopefully Simon Harris will continue his strategy in the fact that he wants to hear “what RTE propose to do to sort out this crisis” rather that what the GOvt can do.
These stults are on their own now , had it high on the hog for way too long, even the fohhking pundits are
working the system.
The taxpayer has had enough of these grifters.
Yep if ever there was a chance for the minister of communications or any minister for that matter to put the boot in to RTE now is the perfect time - start the way you wish to continue with this new shower of idiots - don’t give them an inch- if they object sack them!
I have it!
Is the position “Chairman of the Road Safety Authority” vacant right now?
😀
But seriously wouldn’t be surprised if there was a special presidential appointed position if there’s such a thing given the amount of time he’s spent with Higgins
UN special envoy with responsibility for children growth and development- or if that’s not possible, Irish Human Rights commission -
final answer. Let’s see how close I am
You left out, broadcasting regulator.
I have seen myself agree with him on 2 issue this week, but I don't think he'll carry through, or perhaps he is just saying what is being said around the cabinet table.
He might get on the council of state!
VMTV if they do decide on a chat show should either go for Saturday night or Monday to Thursday at 11pm. I don't see it happening.
Definitely won’t be a chat show- that will be dead in the water before the first show
"Oh Well" might be nearer the mark
Can't help about the shape I'm in
Can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
(and specifically for Kevin Bakhurst)
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Will ya stop before you give them ideas. Tubs probably already dropping the hint to anyone that will listen.
Believe it or not, they are seemingly close enough and Tubs was planning on doing some sort of show with him.
