I think the guy is awesome, doesn't take **** he gives it!

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 08-02-2011 01:20AM

Excellent interviewer.

TeddyTedson · 08-02-2011 01:20AM

He's full of it too though

Badgermonkey · 08-02-2011 01:22AM

I try not to like him but I do.

MrStuffins · 08-02-2011 01:23AM

I bet €10 Enda Kenny doesn't post in this thread!

_whiskers · 08-02-2011 01:24AM

His absence will be a symbol in respect of all the people who were forced to leave Boards due to the reckless management of the economy by our current government.

Vinny is the biz

Headshot · 08-02-2011 01:28AM

I don't watch him much because tv3 is ****e but when I do watch him I think he is superb. I remember the episode with joan Burton and he wouldn't the **** from her, great tv

TeddyTedson · 08-02-2011 01:29AM

I like his wirery smile. (Yes, I know that's not a word)

Vincent Browne is great. He won't take any crap and if a politician tries to go down the waffling road he'll call them on it very quickly. Some of it is theatrical of course but it's entertaining all the same.

Ricardo G · 08-02-2011 01:35AM

Vincent Browne is the new Chuck Norris !!

Senna · 08-02-2011 01:37AM

He is good, but the more i watch of him the more frighten i get.

Is it too late to change the Post of the day?

Seems so far that boards members love him, I think he is far better then Pat Kenny anyways, great interigator and doesn't appear to be as biased. The only people Pat Kenny would allow to talk tonight were Michael Noonan and Brian Lenihan at least on the Vincent Browne show they all got a shot. There was a mention on his show tonight about the political debate on boards.ie too

BraziliaNZ · 08-02-2011 01:41AM

He is THE BOMB. In France they call him LE BOMB.

Sanjuro · 08-02-2011 01:41AM

He's a mad uncle who no longer gives a crap about what anyone thinks and gives no person an easy time. And for that reason, he's great to watch. Even if you don't always agree with him.

dotsman · 08-02-2011 01:43AM

I have to say I don't like him. I think he's very tabloid-like. He's very biased in his interviews, and is very rude, always talking over any guest he doesn't like. This obviously makes him very popular because most people don't like the guest in question either, but that doesn't make it right. I also think he's a very bad speaker, constantly mumbling garbage and stopping/starting the whole time.

That being said, I don't dislike him either. He doesn't take BS answers and, for that, I respect him. But don't ever fool yourself into thinking that he's impartial.

Ricardo G · 08-02-2011 01:48AM

Shryke · 08-02-2011 01:49AM

I'd agree with dotsman more or less. He's annoying and full of smoke. He doesn't let anybody make a point and shouts over people too much although a lot of the time people deserve it. He's better than the soft option though.

Keith186 · 08-02-2011 01:50AM

Vinny B should be called Vindaloo, he'll tear you a new hole!

what party do you belong to, or is it your going on the show soon.

Dangerous Man · 08-02-2011 01:59AM

I used to have a lot of respect for him - maybe ten years ago. I haven't seen his TV3 programme but his opinion pieces in the IT are often just populist rants devoid of logic or valid reasoning. So, no... he wouldn't be my favourite.

goat2 · 08-02-2011 01:59AM

i think he is the best, this is why i would like to see enda kenny on his show, he asks the questions we would like asked, and takes no crap, long may he keep going,
pat kenny would not get a look in, amature by comparison to brown,
would not like to see ursula halligan replace him to interview enda kenny, she would not get a look in either, he bring out the best and worst on all he interview,
i do look forward to him interviewing enda, and helping me make up[ my mind as to who i will bother to start my car and burn petrol to go vote for

Mr Cawley · 23-03-2011 12:08AM

Cutting and comic, wish he was my grandad!

Pauleta · 23-03-2011 12:10AM

I love the way he tears shreds out of the loony left on his show and their mad cap ways.

(this is where Enda Kenny was originally scheduled to post)

We were applying some sociological of the media analysis to Vincent Browne last week. Nothing major; just context, most used phrases, style etc.

I'll post em up tomorrow if I get the chance. It was quite interesting. He is certainly needed in our time of political meandering,but he's worth keeping a close eye on due to influence.

wurzlitzer · 23-03-2011 01:09AM

VB is the bees knees
I love when he says...
Just answer the question!

Dudess · 23-03-2011 01:15AM

It appears he has assumed Michael O'Leary-esque status on Boards.ie - i.e. his "no nonsense" style makes him a "legend", therefore anyone who criticises him is a "begrudger".

I'm not particularly pushed about him.

kieran26 · 23-03-2011 01:15AM

i wouldn't dislike him so much if he gave the people he obviously doesn't agree with time to answer his questions instead of talking over them!

very rude man IMO
