The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread - Mod note Post # 1 Updated

Mark 00

Is anybody getting tired of the Ray D'arcy show. well not so much the show but rather him and his moral highground. If i'm looking for an opinionated gobs**te, there are plenty of other shows. His show used to be just about havin a laugh and not takin things too seriously but in the last year or so he cant seem to talk about anything without giving a big opinionated spiel about whats right, (coz if its his opinion, then obviously it has to be right). Bring back the old days when he used to brighten up our mornings.

Mod Note:

There is no reason to discuss the presenters personal life here. This thread is to do with the Radio Show itself and not the private life of Ray D'Arcy. Anyone found to be dragging threads off topic will incur at least a ban for 24 hours

Mod Note 2:
What this thread is about; it's to talk about the show but if all people are willing to provide is a bucket of bile and a mob opinion of negativity I'd suggest that they are in the wrong place because this is not 4Chan...

Ray does seem to have a lot of choice about the music he plays but I'm sure there are some he has to play.

Pretty stupid comment by Ray there when talking to the Irish guys that took part in the Boston Marathon. He was trying to make the point that some people crossed the line after hearing the explosion because the goal of finishing the Marathon was more important to them anything else. :rolleyes:

Sure one of the guys that he was talking to even said that he didn't know what had happened until he got back to the hotel.

I'd say the reason that some people still crossed the line is because they didn't know what was going on, you know, after running 26 miles an all.

I just got sick again after hearing Jenny and Ray have the "craic" with each other.

They sounded like Today FM`s answer to Richard and Judy this morning.

It seems to be only when she is describing something unpleasant she uses a working class accent. Probably deep seeded prejudice from a privileged foxrock girl. She put on a skangery accent today when describing someone's arse.

Was talking about this before, ray seems to assume anyone with a "working class" Dub accent is from the Northside. When he had "Fran" from Love/Hate on he, again assumed this, even though in the show this guy lived up the mountains somewhere, i.e Southside.....closer to Rays house then he realised.

cannot understand why Mairead does not point this out.

One thing that really annoys me about the show is when somebody says something funny and Mairéad and/or Jenny, depending on whether they're on, laughs and their microphone is off so you just hear the laugh as background noise.

Also today, did anybody else notice Ray's bitterness when, after talking to the fella who doesn't consume news, he said it'd be bad if we were all like that as we wouldn't know when the Government had f***ed up and wouldn't protest or shout from the rooftops, and then he said, "Oh wait, that happens now and nobody does anything about it."

This morning (Thursday) between 9:30 and 10, Ray was talking to the author of a book on how people think. I cant remember the title, can anyone help?

Listened to the Christy Moore interview. God Darcy is a knob. Cringe fest. Terrible.

Ray trying to crawl up Christy's ass!

RD: "Christy, is it ok to refer to you as a legend?"

Synode

Was funny when Christy was saying how ""yesterday it was the Dalai Lama, and today you Ray"".

Darcy started gushing saying you cant compare me to the Dalai Lama etc etc (but was delighted with himself).

It was patently obvious that Christy was just saying how mad his life is.

Yeah he always says stuff like that. Sure his replacement Anton Savage was raised and lives on the northside. He certainly doesn't sound like one. His hero Brian O'Driscoll is also a northsider.

He seemed in awe of Christy Moore. He was like a giddy school child. Having his partner there isn't conducive to good radio.

If people don't like ray darcy then don't listen to him. There's buttons on radios that let you change stations or to power off.

this is a ray darcy show thread not a we love ray darcy show thread .everyone is entitled to their opinion.
i listen to him every morning but i think he deserves criticism for a lot of the things he does.

" is it ok to refer to you as a legend" ffs give me a break.

His family own one of the biggest PR companies in the country. His mother is Terry Prone who Co owns the company with her husband Tom Savage. They represent fine Gael and a few big companies.

First time poster in this 324 page thread, and all I want to say is that I find Ray extremely preachy. Now, my opinion probably won't account for much because I generally don't listen to him that often!! Just to add my two cents!!!
