    Not a regular late late watcher but came across it last night and have to say from memory it is the best it's been in a long while, if ever

    I deliberately didn't look at my phone during or after the Late Late last night.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the show and its refreshing to see this thread hopping when I check it today and overwhelming positive.

    What a difference on all fronts!

    Haven't really watched TLLS in years (even though a fan of Kielty) but just saw the Conan O'Brien interview there and what a great interview that was. Have always been a huge fan of O'Brien. Kielty did very well also by letting O'Brien take centre stage for most of the interview.

    Defo not a wee bit racist…

    I’d say you were gutted he didn’t interview him, would have been great to be able to come on boards and tell everyone it was only cause he was black 🤣

    Did you see him interviewing your man Norton to keep the gays on side as well, what’s all that about 🤓



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,021 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    "Tell me what is your background in the trad scene?" well I was born in Nigeria and moved to Ireland when I was 3 and started the trad in school and loved it. isnt that great everyone?" then we can all pat ourselves on the back for being so inclusive.

    meanwhile they are burning down refugee accommodation and having protests all over the country. which I detest by the way and I would be in favor of rounding up all these racists and putting them in prison for years.

    stop trying to paint me and others as racist because you are way off the mark.

    I didnt like the conan o brien interview either, the name thing was cringe and why was he roaring them out? annoying.

    Also just because his ancestors were Irish doesnt mean he is, you have to grow up here to be Irish, sure he wouldnt have a clue about Irish culture, Irish people, Irish sport, Irish Politics, places, what its like to live here, our nature, the list is endless.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    So you have an issue with people who have immigrated to this country integrating themselves and immersing themselves in our culture? Cool.

    Great show last night.

    Relax about the performer's it's not the eighties.

    The likes of Phil Lynott and Paul McGrath put in the hard yard.

    And if the yanks want to say they're Irish that's cool too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Sure Paul McGrath was only ever in the Irish team to keep the woke/PC sheeple happy 😆 🙄

    So then how can a show or an ad have someone if your first taught is PC so do not like. The guy was a great dancer so maybe that's why he is on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭Caquas


    Taken? You mean murdered.

    I think the Sun and the Mirror were the only papers to mention the anniversary on their front page today. The others could find no room because their front pages were chock-full of nonsense.

    In a couple of years, there won't even be a photo on an inside page. And the the Late Late never found time to discuss this case.

    But Irish people won't forget.

    I don't think it should be obligatory for newspapers to remember the anniversaries of people murdered in tragic circumstances.

    With 50 tragic murders every year and yearly anniversaries on the first page.. rather unusual newspapers.

    No disrespect to Aisling Murphy. But I don't think a picture of Nurse Bridie Gargan on newspapers on her anniversary every year since her 1982 murder by Malcolm McArthur is desirable.

    I had a friend murdered, stabbed, by a Romanian in 1998. Because he pulled him up for shop lifting where he was doing security earlier that day. Did he get front page anniversary newspaper coverage or Late Late discussion??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,021 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    I think that case has been discussed enough and they can hardly put photos or write pieces about all murdered Irish people on their anniversaries. yes she was murdered and it was an awful sad case but loads of Irish people have been murdered over the years in equally sad situations.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,637 ✭✭✭Francis McM


    Last nights Late Late was the best in many many years. I was disappointed in Kiely during his initial Late Late shows, but he was relaxed with his 2 guests ( Norton and the American) last night and excellent in all fairness.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭Caquas


    Seems like only two years ago the country came to a standstill and vowed never to the forget this horrible murder.

    But you’ve had enough of it already. Because there are so many young Irish women brutally murdered in broad daylight by total strangers, we can’t be dwelling on this one (equally sad) case.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    To what end? The court case has just recently ended.

    Her memory and her grieving primarily belong to her family.

    And you're, for whatever reason, putting her murder above all others. Would you think we should have a Late Late slot 2 years after the murder of the lady in Dublin by the 14 year old? And countless other victims.

    If you want to do something for Aisling, light a candle and say a prayer. Token ostentatious displays of sorrow in the media wouldn't be my thing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭goingmadted


    Cop on to yourself. Lets face it, the reason aisling murphys murder got so much airtime was because she was a very pretty young woman.

    Like has been said, why arent you crying about all the other murders that have been committed down through the years.

    Wow, I struck a nerve and got a misogynistic reflex!

    You objectify Ashling Murphy as just "a very pretty young woman", when in reality she was an accomplished traditional musician, a trained teacher who had just begun her career in a local school, a sportswoman who played for her local club and her college and, most of all, she was beloved by her family and sadly missed by all those who mourned her murder on Thursday.

    But you didn't see past her photos so you don't understand why her murder "got so much airtime" (to borrow your callous phrase). Ashling Murphy's murder was completely exceptional because she was murdered in a public place by a total stranger who selected her opportunistically and attacked her brutally in broad daylight. Her murder meant that every woman in Ireland suddenly felt unsafe in public places where they used to feel secure.

    And of course you threw in an "ad hominem" dig at me but, if you had bothered to look, I posted extensively on Sophie Toscan du Plantier, Raonid Murray, Jill Dando, Deirdre Jacobs, Annie McCarrick to mention just some examples. I was one of the few who posted on the horrible murder of Urantsetseg Tserendorj and more recently on the failure to bring an attempted murder charge arising from a vicious rape in Killarney.

    You got a couple of thanks for your disgraceful comment.😥

    What a nasty dig at a grieving family and community on the day their anniversary commemoration is front page news.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    You can judge by replies absolutely nobody thinks Aisling should have had a second anniversary Late Late remembrance slot. Or should she be front page on newspapers 2 years on. It's just reality, common sense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭Caquas


    Absolutely nobody? You think the people who came to grieve at her memorial yesterday wouldn't want a Late Late remembrance for Ashling? And that The Sun and The Mirror were wrong to report on this commemoration on their front page?

    When our political leaders came to her funeral and said she would always be in our hearts, do you think they really meant "but we will not speak of her publicly after a year or so". When King Charles said her name will not be forgotten, did he mean we should do nothing to commemorate her after her first anniversary?

    I have no doubt that the vast majority of Irish people want to commemorate Ashling and mourn her loss into the future. But some people here want us to forget this terrible murder and would even claim that their lack of human decency is an Orwellian sort of "common sense".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    Do you think all murder victims should be remembered equally?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    99.999% of the people in Ireland didn't know Ashling. I think her family should be allowed grieve and remember. No one, or group, who never met the girl in their lives, should use her memory for their own personal agendas and virtue signalling.

    A 2nd anniversary Late Late montage tribute would be highly inappropriate and insensitive to her family.

    Placing Ashling above other victims because she played Trad music, was a teacher and played camogie is elitist. It's placing more value on certain people's lives.

    I suppose all that nonsense on the front pages was the war in Gaza.. Where they're have been 20,000 deaths recently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,021 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    Her murder meant that every woman in Ireland suddenly felt unsafe in public places where they used to feel secure.


    I see women out jogging alone all the time so I don't think that is true. every woman in Ireland is a load of bull.

    what about the poor guy who was stabbed to death just because he parked his car outside some mad womans drive way? I dont hear you looking for him to get a late late show memorial.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭maebee


    Agreed. A million miles from the Tubridy LLS cancer/misery "entertainment".

    Coming from a breast cancer survivor and recently widowed cancer victim. There's a place for that and it's not on an end of week entertainment show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭waterwelly


    It sounds like you miss Ryan Tubridy and his misery slot.
