    That's maybe why he has a paltry 68,000 listeners after 4 years on air.

    everything else: 'respected journalist' Eamonn dunphy.

    i only wish that tom dunne would go on for another hour, and sean moncreiff would come in earlier. eamonn keane really is appalling.

    What kind of tabloid rubbish has this show turned into and what idiot would waste money texting in with something so stupid.

    Yeah I heard that and thought to myself, I can't believe he is doing this on a programme which he likes to think is gritty, at the front of the action and current affairs.

    Then, he KEPT ON DOING IT. Before every break, after every break.

    I was dumbfounded!

    Eamon Keane's show really is awful. If only there was a decent option between 12 and 1pm. I'm so sick of Keane's 'man of the people' act, always doing his best to sound outraged on behalf of the people. And his voice really annoys me too.

    i'd soo much prefer to hear about audrey, sky and eva, or whatever something happens used to do years ago than have to suffer eamonn keane's monotonous populism. i just hate it when i do change and then forget to change back at 2 for moncreiff.

    Agreed, and he's always on Newstalk. Saturday Sports Show, Off the Ball, Moncrieff, The Right Hook etc. I switch off every time I hear him. His voice/accent wrecks me buzz. :rolleyes:

    I couldn't agree more, he has no business being near a radio. So many annoying mannerisms, the mouth-full-of-tissue voice, the tone of voice that suggests he's wearing a wry smirk, the bogger way he pronounces 'ar' and 'ow' sounds, the halting delivery... make it stop :(

    He certainly shouldn't be allowed on national radio and surely Newstalk can find a better stand-in for the Moncrieff show. I'd like to listen to the Sunday Sports Show now but I just can't handle listening to him. :o

    I was wondering where the gnome from my garden had got to and then he appears second from the right in this picture!

    On second thoughts, that looks like Ger Gilroy...!biggrin.gif

    Anyone hear the pre-recorded 'apology' Newstalk aired today at around 8:45, regarding Claire Byrne's comments about Susan Boyle?

    The woman didn't have the bollix to do it herself, it was some guy reading out a statement essentially saying 'sorry' but without directly apologising. Bunch of jokers.

    Yeah, don't think it was very dignified of her. And it was even less dignified to let some anonymous fella read out an apology on her behalf rather than do it herself. But then again, I don't really expect much better out of Ms Byrne. She's the radio equivalent of a tabloid hack.

    it is not an apology if someone has to make it for you. ms byrne should come on and apologise herself if it was someone else she would be demanding an apology and their head on a plate and tut tut tutting
    but i wouldnt expect to much from newstalk they are just tabloid

    eamon keane was on saturday night he was embarrasing singing for his father a bit late considering he hadnt spoken to the man for years
    he is always trying to stir up controversy and maybe get a headline for himself it is always about himself
