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

Jesus Christ, they’re charging for that???!! It was mentioned on this thread this was being produced, but I assumed it was a freebie with the Fail on Sunday. To think that they think they can charge for that…..mudder a jaysis…..

And he has the gall to list best sports books? He might as well be talking about astrophysics as sports books for all he knows about sport. What a complete fraud.

In front of Ireland’s Own? 🤣🤣 He’s in some great company there. 🙄🤣

I’d say The Northside People is a better read, and I’ve never read that pile of 💩 either.

Hmmmmm.

youd wonder about easons - how many sales did renault loose particularly in cork due to the 150k stuff and to think other brands are willing to keep backing him.

no wonder easons is a pile of shite in recent years if those at the head of it think like this.

To be fair ryan has great hurling knowledge so he might be a bit biased to the hurling books. He loves the small ball

Wishes is all we will get..The money will never be paid back to the Irish people.

can’t believe he hasn’t watched the Toy Show

I haven’t read it, but I have a suspicion it ends with “needless to say, I had the last laugh”. IYKYK.

“I left” is an interesting way to describe what happened, maybe they were stuck for space and couldn’t fit “that pesky accountant discovered the dodgy invoices paper trail and alerted the auditors on a Bank Holiday weekend and then Dee Forbes had to hastily contact my agent and we had to concoct a story in jig time but by then we knew the cat was out of the bag and there was no going back so we decided to say I was exhausted from the gruelling workload of 5 hours of heavily scripted Radio and 2 hours of reading cue cards on TV a week and say that going forward I’d concentrate on the radio gig but then the bloody Indo got wind of the story so at first I did the ‘it’s nothing to do with me’ thing but that backfired and then I had do a more grovelling ‘woe is me and these big numbers I just don’t understand and I’m kinda sorry but not really and it’s really RTÉ’s fault’ version but the public weren’t buying that either so I then bizarrely decided to go in front of an Oireacthas Committee meeting and promised to pay back the €150,000 knowing I never would but not before delivering the immortal lines ‘I love your county’ (when talking about Louth - I mean come on, who did I think was going to buy that?!), and ‘I have letters and postcards from all over the country delivered to my home just addressed to Ryan Tubridy, Dublin’ and the highlight ‘yes my salary is enormous but it doesn’t affect my soul’. Despite all of this and it being the scandal of the year of 2023 and would ultimately cost many people in RTÉ their jobs the DG still offered me a job at €170,000 a year for 5 hours work a week with 3 months holidays but I blew that too with my big mouth by insisting I was right despite all available evidence and everyone else was wrong and now I’m in a bedsit in London where no-one recognises me - The ToyBookMan, sponsored by WillowWarm. I haven’t watched The Late Late Show because it isn’t broadcast in London and The RTÉ Player never works.”

Eason's is hardly mainstream. Its more like the RTE guide of magazines, hanging on in there to service the habitual needs of the demographic that never made the internet transition.

The last time I was in an Easons more than half the store was fancy gifts and toys, essentially a one stop shop for grandparents.

As do most of the posters on this thread.

I do humbly apologize to you, Montrose Sanctified One!

Unfortunately, any Tubridy-related article on Facebook usually has plenty of "Ryan was one of the best"-type comments. So yes, plenty of people out there who still think is a broadcasting legend, just like Terry Wogan.

It’s not full of them, though there are quite a few it seems.

I refuse to believe its anything but bots and/or nkm sycophants lovebombing anything to do with the gimp on social media.

I work with a lot of tubridy types - south dublin, posh, drink on baggot st, etc. Tubridy is not liked by them, at all
