RTE Radio 1: The 9 O Clock Show hosted by Various Megathread

He was trolling, Bobson. Do you know what that is?

Heh heh…..In the total fuhherke fest that is now in SF Callan tries to turn it into an anti govt spoof on RTE 1

this morning. If anybody is in any doubt about his politics this one is blows it wide open.

Francis, it’s not a matter of win or lose .It’s articulating the facts.

Francis I often wonder if you actually listen to the discourse on these programmes , or if you just hit on the opposite view to what’s posted and try to get a couple of pages out of it..

I couldn’t, like a lot of other posters, be bothered arguing with you when your main platform for debate is arguing that black is white.

Now get back to the crease trying to ‘defend’ SF’s recent handling of the stuff that has them on their knees.

No he didn’t and you know it.

Referring to a Govt minister in the context of a ‘dead sheep’ was hardly “having a laugh” but maybe your warped view thinks it was.

The expression was used in British politics as a complete insult so how it becomes a “laugh” in Ireland has me puzzled.

Francie you are in denial mode again here, so I couldn’t be bothered progressing this further.

Don’t waste my time, bubb.

 so that was all I needed to move the dial

Congrats on discovering your free will. You can now live happily ever after. Carry on. 🙂

You are a 'normal' radio listener now. We all do that.

'Don't like this bit, come back in a bit and we'll have something else'.

Great isn't it?

What are you on about Breener, have you drink taken or what?

Oh come on Bobson, you have to be one of the top posters across Boards.

As for

" what (Ryan) does (When)he leaves the studio, what books he likes to read, his appearance, or the sincerity of what he does"

I appreciate what you’re saying. But what is being critisied is Ryans on air persona. I know multiple people who know Ryan and on air Ryan is very different to off air Ryan. Everything that is being critisised is part of that on air persona. Being frank, I think you have a bit of a cheek saying people do not have a right questioning his sincerity. This is a man who on air spoke about taking a pay cut as part of a company wide initive and how it was effecting him. People do not like being lied to.

Only for the truth of the matter to be that his RTE had found a convoluted way for a third party to make up the shortfall. Using RTE funds to cover everything. Accountancy giggery pokery.

OC on air personality rarely discusses what he does off the air—unless it's related to another RTE project. I’ve never heard him talk about the books he reads, his appearance, or his family. Callan reads the papers highlights from the papers with a little spin on it , asks interview questions and does impressions. That is it.

Ryan needs to pivot away from the young old fogey thing. Find a new persona, he isn't young anymore, he isn't relavant and the act is tainted by the payments scandal.

I wonder are there posters on here whose incessant posting would leave the Boardscape a better place by their absence?

Another mention of “balance” by Callan and how he tries to keep it, this am Mr B.

Only compère I have heard re enforcing his alleged adherence to “balance” so much.

u,hmmmm……………… 😂

His knuckles must still be a bit red..

Good lad Mr B, post anything to deflect from the point made.

Why don’t you for once own up and agree with the obvious, instead of dancing on the head of a pin on everything.

Give it a try,dude, unclench lad.

Callan is like the cat that got the cream this morning after the US Presedential Election.

Pilloried Harris from day one of her campaign

And pilloried Trump just as much.

He was wondering why people here hold Harris in such reverence when it's clear her compatriots don't in sufficient number.
i know it's a disappointing day for them, but it isn't down to Callan who took the piss out of both, as he should.

Read the room Brendi, he was sending up reverents like yourself.

Brendan Courtney in the hot seat in the morning.
