The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

I’ve always had the impression that Bakhurst became increasingly aware of the full cost of bringing Tubridy back as the weeks ticked along and into negotiations.

The public mood was mixed but internally it was said to be far more negative towards RT. Then when it was agreed to put the issue to bed and RT continued to try to score points against RTE KB knew that Tubridy was a complete liability and had no choice but to cut him loose and let him unleash his crazy talent abroad.

They would have had to sort out a completely new team for him, consisting of people who had little previous interaction with him, maybe newer people who were still making the tea in the back room.

did RT ever attempt to “make amends” with the production staff colleagues and people he deceived for years in RTÉ?

Or did he act as if nothing was wrong?

WOW. The balls on this guy.

Didn't work that way for civil service and anything tied to civil service wages. Higher % cuts at the top that were unwound last.

Made hiring for certain pegged skilled roles very difficult.

wow, RTE really have their finger on the pulse. Or were they thinking, sure we’ll leave it up, he’ll be back in no time.

I think we're in agreement but talking about two completely different things in case this wasn't clear - I'm talking about the official RTE viewing figures while you're talking about the reality.

Yes, I'm questioning the validity of the methodology that produces the official figures.

I think it the only in fairness that we can give Tubs that and Tubridy Tonight, weather we like it or now.

The Full Irish boosted 2FM's radio show (I stopped listening after he started waffling about how more students were considering arts degrees over science and IT), never really watch Tubridy Tonight but it was something different for RTÉ, however he desperately wants to offer his guests some sweets from the jar of sweets under his table!

My thinking is that he thinks the different things he did on 2FM and RTÉ1 is just the right format to try on the British public.

BTW Tubs ramblings are a way to copy Gay Byrne, Byrne might go through the headlines and at the end something might pop into his head and he'd do this thing where he knowingly ramble for a bit and the move into the break, Tubs flitters like this constantly with no regard. He reads the head line "Kings new red portrait" ….. Have you see it ! I mean come on !, its a floating head just there in the middle of a vast red back drop… I don't know if you have seen the Irish Presidents portrait now that's classy… like the days of old … Can you imagine Cary Grant wearing that?…. I mean come on .. and another thing the red is very like the wrapper to the special K bar packets you know the ones … yeah there was a girl up in Donegal went viral for wearing clothes like cleaning products … Donegal if you have been you know you know " Producer press next on the playlist.

Everything with Tubs has been and is a projection. Nothing is genuine

This.

This all day, week, month, and all fcuking year long.

The only thing genuine about the man is that nothing about him is genuine.

Alongside a photo of him looking all Hugh Grant-y, the magazine gushed: "He should run for political office, he's that charismatic. 

Yes, they are actually talking about Ryan Tubridy…. The man who's currently 'broadcasting' to less people in the U.K. than he broadcast to previously in Ireland, in a country with about 12 times the population of Ireland…. a man who can barely string a coherent link together in-between playing Ed Sheehan & Taylor Swift songs… (even Irish people can barely understand what he's on about most of the time)…

The man who just released (to great fanfare) his long awaited (and in some quarters long demanded) book podcast featuring some of heavyweights of the literary world… "which is apparently doing huge numbers on YouTube (you know, kids n stuff, mp3's downloads, napster, internet)"..

The man who, although technically didn't do anything wrong, and was still in a very salvageable position (go into PAC, say sorry, go back on air, say sorry, give back the €150k, and eat a bit of humble pie) still managed to balls it up so much that he ended up where he is now…

Mr F_[king Charisma eh…?
