Gobsh**es standing behind reporters

Dubh Geannain · 28-02-2009 10:17PM #1

Was just watching the 9 o'clock headlines there. The Fianna Fail ard fheis was covered.

Reporter talking from the venue with about a dozen loo laas standing around him looking towards the camera.

TBH I think it's hilarious. These are grown men (mostly) acting like kids who see a camera for the first time. They have nothing to contribute to the actual report but feel obligated to stick their mugs in there.

Quazzie · 28-02-2009 10:18PM

I have nothing to contribute to this thread. I just want to be seen!!

muletide · 28-02-2009 10:19PM

myself and the wife were saying just the same.

Are there really still gormless gob****es out there who are dying to be seen by mammy on de telly.

Reminds me of the idiots you see after a GAA match holding up some ugly child behind the commentator as its for sale

_Kaiser_ · 28-02-2009 10:20PM

The youngfella that was in the bottom right corner looked a bit psycho!

mal1 · 28-02-2009 10:20PM

I was waiting for this thread to start. It was hilarious. Something you would expect from a crowd of 10 year olds.

They looked like something out of a zombie movie. Some of them didn't move an inch for the whole interview

I'll blow your fuckin head off!

Thank god somebody felt the same. The guy on the bottom left covered in sweat with a red face. He looked pissed and the young guy in the yellow tie to the bottom right.

None of them moving. Why?

Why are they there?

What benefit are they giving or getting?

Dub13 · 28-02-2009 10:35PM

They do that every year,bunch of power hungry parasites.

chamlis · 28-02-2009 10:35PM

I was thinking the same. I think the lot of them were creeping Davin-Power out tbh. He mashed his words a few times

Busi_Girl08 · 28-02-2009 10:41PM

You could see how insanely uncomfortable most of them looked.

I'd say some producer just managed to drag a load of people over in front of the camera, just to maybe make it look like Fianna Fail supporters are united or whatever.

Some people probably didn't want anyone to know they were there...my money's on the guy on the bottom left.

Worked like a charm, managed to make FF's look even more ridiculous!!

It looked like what the Irish team's changing room would look like if they lost tonight.
All that was missing to completely fill out the mood was the sillouhette of a hanging body in the background.

Congratulations RTE, once again have you surpassed even your own stupidity and made yourselves into a joke.

Fianna Fail and Blubbery Lips...self explanetory really...

Mossy Monk · 28-02-2009 11:34PM

Saw them too and also thought what gob****es.

gurramok · 28-02-2009 11:41PM

Ah, the FF faithful, what were they trying to do, influence the reporters reporting?

Thats the future folks. the FF party machine getting their mush in anywhere!

schween · 28-02-2009 11:49PM

I'm guessing they are trying to make it look like when the crowd is in a stand behind a US president.
They looked appalling. Imagine if that was your dad.

gurramok · 01-03-2009 12:45AM

Rte shouldn't have allowed that crowd stand behind the reporter at peak hour news. Its as if he wasn't allowed to report anything critical due to imtimidation perceived or not, it was just ridiculous.

I agree, but isn't there normally just the reporter and the cameraman.
Not a lot they could do,I would imagine.

/Open to correction here.

Plenty of party conferences have been reported from by reporters with a distant crowd in the background without any party faithful gathered so close to the reporter.

Those fella's were so close to the reporter on RTE news peak hr, that Mugabe would of been proud of them :d

Cole · 01-03-2009 12:58AM

It was hilarious, comedy gold. It was like they were just let out of the local home for the bewildered...real Father Ted stuff and David Davenpower's wooden delivery just added to the comedy.

He was initially out of of shot but gradually shuffled slowly into shot, glancing at the monitor to check his positioning.

Scary.

What were RTE thinking?

girloperfection · 01-03-2009 01:00AM

Was watchin that on the news, the poor guy on the left was sweating like a pig! And then John Foley fell, one minute he was standing there and the next he was on the ground!!

JerryHandbag · 01-03-2009 01:06AM

"Look Mammy, I'm on the telly!! Dont forget to fill my hot water bottle now!" :P

I used to work with Larry Wheelock. Nice guy mostly. I won't go into any further details here.

Youtube link?

I didn't see this.

Uuuh Patsy · 01-03-2009 01:21AM

These are the same people who voted in the government. Is it any wonder how things up ended they way they are. People like these are just one of the many small pieces that made me emmigrate. They make me embarrassed to be Irish. Probably inbreds too.

I just watched it again on the RTE website and saw this...the whole thing just gets funnier and what about the guy with the red tie to the bottom left, just stared into the camera for the entire broadcast.
