    Loved yesterday. Not often you hear somebody standing up to Joe, but yer man Malachy was well able for it. Joe Duffy's portrayal of himself as merely the "Devil's Advocate" is completely disingenuous. He plays Devil's Advocate any time he doesn't agree with the caller. If he agrees with the caller they get free reign.

    Just had a look at that - very interesting - but it reminded me just what a sewer Twitter is and why I very rarely use it.

    I listened to the clip of him with Malachy last night and it was a brief summary of every reason why I stopped listening to Joe Duffy.

    He started off by interrupting him to explain where the statue is, saying you would pass it if on the way to Croke Park from the city centre. Ehhhh.... no, Joe. If you're passing it then you've gone well past Croke Park (you've crossed the Tolka, which is a clue).

    It went downhill from that, the usual constant interruptions, talking over the guest, accusing them of interrupting him, making false and inaccurate statements, ignoring historical evidence to push his point, etc. etc.

    Any presenter on local radio can debate better than him; most earn in a year what Joe Duffy warns in 2 months. It's just more proof that he cannot handle basic debate, and begs the question why he's paid so much.

    Some people say the proof of how goos he is, is in his viewership figures, well The Sun if the UK's largest selling paper, doesn't mean it's a quality paper.

    One other point, he constantly referred to Sean Russell as a Nazi supporter/sympathiser. He has no issue taking money from a paper (Mail/Mail on Sunday), who openly supported fascism and Hitler back in the 1930's.

    Have a read of their ownerss support of 'Superhuman' Hitler annexing Czechoslovakia. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/apr/01/pressandpublishing.secondworldwar

    He was left so metaphorically beaten up and battered after that show, that you almost expected him to write a book about himself.

    Very interesting about that Dara Connemara guy. Anybody know any of the background? Dara is certainly not pulling any punches for sure, so he must be sure of his facts to post such things.

    Well fock me, some people on twitter and on other RTÉ threads on boards and elsewhere actually think Mr. Duffy won that “debate” today. I must have been listening to a different show than them.


    To be fair to Joe (as ever -hahah), the two circus clowns he was up against only had one trick and were pretty adept at it after decades of rehearsal. When challenged, they went silent and made blustery clanging noises, like the wind lifting the rusty sheets on a creaky old barn.

    There was one lad in the small waiting room alright around 11.00. Were you made to lie down for your test? Never had to lie down for a blood test before.

    No fan of Syl's "comedy but that's neither here nor there". I said after the first court report I read Thad she had no case. Did the DPP or the guards not see the CCCCVVTV footage until the same day as the judge?

    Waste of state resources and precious court time not to mention ruining an innocent man's reputation.

    Well to be fair to Malachy he landed the killer blow when he asked Mr. Duffy WHOY when Trump says anything it leads to people doing what he said and he gets criticsed by de meeja for doing so, but Leo gets a free pass for the same issue.

    Also, Mr. Duffy sank very low yesterday attemptin to imply Malachy's motivation was somewhat anti-gay, and feigning compete ignorance on the Pride colours issue.

    As another caller pointed out, Mr. Duffy doesn't seem to have such a strong opinion on nazi and facist-sympathising and anti-Irish publications such as The Daily Fail when they pay fees for his column. I assume he'll reflect on that today and announce he's writing for dat paper no more after this "discovery". :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    That really is a question that needs to be answered in this case. It would seem bizarre if they hadn't, but then again........maybe de fella who checks de CCCCCCCCTV was on holidays....for a year....just like in RTE

    It's up there with Cllr. Seamus Treanor and the canary to be fair. Shane O'Curry was aso excellent, but he only lasted 5mins.

    Right off the bat the interruption of the stupid Dublin geography lesson set the tone. Also what's the point in using one Dublin landmark as a reference point in directing people to another Dublin landmark. You either know them or you don't, in which case you wouldn't care. He might have 'Dublin Geography' as a skill on the c.v when NK is negotiating the contract renewal.
