That goal was Dalglish against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, first and only player manager to win the title.

Knew it was Hendry too.

RTE nepotism:

Fine bit of stuff though.

I've had a glass or two of wine, so here's the deal...

Uncle Gazebo had a thing for her... even practically said so to her on the Late Late but didn't actually act on it... so after a while, RTE got fed up waiting for him to fall on his 'sword', so to speak, & sent her down the ****ter.

Where, as was earlier pointed out, she now rightfully... hic.... can best use her remaining talents.

Ouch.

I am such a bitch.

Hic.

What ever happened to Theresa Lowe. Many a Sunday night whenever everyone went off to mass myself and Theresa would have the craic.

Bunny Carr was a fine looking man too mind.

Herself and her husband Frank were in the papers recently.. she's a barrister, I think.

So... ya what happened to her?

She presented everything except the news on RTE in the 90's and then disappeared.

I heard she was injured in a shark jumping incident and couldn't present anymore, is this true?

I never heard about the shark jumping incident, but I did hear somebody on the radio a few years ago claiming that she didn't fit the RTE image 'hence the long term promotions' never came her way! I don't know if that is true? but I get the impression that if she had gone across the water she would have excelled in TV & Radio - She could have been huge. > Catherine Thomas is heading the same way, she too hit the 'local ceiling' a few years ago and now she seems to be on the downward spiral (along with Marty)

> Catherine should have headed across the water, where she too would have excelled in TV and/or Radio!

Actually I read the opposite, I heard that she was getting far too much work with RTE, which wasn't helping her family life... RTE were very happy for her to be Queen but she didn't see herself as the first lady of Montrose. So she promptly placed the tiara on Ryan Tubridy's head, made like a donkey's dick and hit the road.

Whatever happened to Caroline Morohan? Remember that slightly disturbing reality show where kooky stalkers would prove their stalking factor and RTE would basically pay them to pursue their victims to the psychotic end... I'm sure the whole thing ended in a grizzly, bloodstained 911 call somewhere in the US.

She gave a really awkward interview in the Sindo magazine at the time of that hotel reality show..

Think she may be a bit of a biddy that Bibi.

Arf!

Why did the Irish, or indeed the world, not take to such amazing talent?

I would agree with the first paragraph. Consensus seems to be that she was over exposed by RTE and that they had been grooming her to be essentially what Tubridy is now. She wasn't a huge fan of the limelight (excuse the pun*) and decided to call it a day when it all became a bit much for her and affected her family life. The Eurovision made her an overnight sensation with TV producers both here and in the UK showing an interest in her. RTE decided to put her in every show possible, at one time the list included Echo Island, The Morbegs, Potluck (5 days a week!), Pulse, and *Limelight. There also seems to be rumours that Gaybo was REALLY fond of her and was pushing her as a possible Late Late successor and Limelight was a test run on her chat show abilities.

I hear shes being considered as a judge for the new series of the X Factor.

That's a pity because in all seriousness she would be a far better host than Tubridy. Sure, she's got the same annoying Irish middle class worldview, probably has a Jacques Cousteau CD in her Hyundai Santa Fe with which she drives Sorcha and Cormac to Irish Dancing classes, but moreso in that bearable way that your older, married sister might carry on.

Carrie Crowley on the Late Late, I could certainly live with. For all her uninspired banality she is an essentially Irish character, quietly intrigued in her guests, polite, even charming in a lovely dull way. Tubridy, who is always too fidgety and busy onscreen actually makes me edgy, and his more irritating demeanour has destroyed the Late Late for me, and the Tralee Lovely Girls Competition, and morning radio. He also seems to have a rather extraordinary ability to say the wrong thing. I really don't understand Tubridy's popularity at all.

I heard she was moulded down in to a golf club, a 3 wood I think it was.

Could you explain, perhaps, how you feel the Irish middle class worldview is annoying to you?

RTÉ is full of the 'Irish middle class worldview'. They like music that people who are big into music don't like. **** like The Corrs, High kings, or big band crooners. They try to be 'intellectual' without being controversial. They try to be forward thinking but conservative at the same time. They act happy all the time as if they're on anti-depressant tablets. They don't understand or like 'highbrow' stuff like opera, arthouse flms, classical music, or anything above their middle-brow tastes. Carrie Crowley was the '90s version of these people in RTÉ. That's why she was so annoying.

I saw Bibi on some tv thing a while ago.
I know that age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
her infinite variety,but she wasn't the cailin I remember.
