    Was meant to be just music and requests today, or at least that's what he said yesterday. Trouble with the desk again.

    Classy there Ray - almost gloating there that Boris J has the Corona virus. Normally so woke and preaching to be nice to each other.

    I fuppin hate the way he speaks. Starts a new spiel, his voice raising in volume to a sudden stop............pause.........ehm...and continues. And just repeats this over and over again.

    He really is a terrible broadcaster

    Good value for 400k +++?

    Was never a big fan of Derek Mooney but looking back he is a much better broadcaster Heard some of his shows the last 2 Sundays and he cinnected well, seemed to get it right even if a bit OTT. Byèeeeeeeeeeee........

    Yeah I thought that remark was really off colour as well. We are all meant to believe that this illness is a serious life-threatening illness, and Ray is happy that another human being has been diagnosed with it. Would it be a big win for Ray if Boris is diagnosed with cancer next week?

    The mask slips with these guys from time to time and all the talk of kindness is revealed as just a thin veneer. The kindness only applies to their kind

    He really needs to go back to his Today FM roots; it worked & that generation is now listening to his afternoon show; I know because I'm one of them but **** me it's grating on me; He's been babbling on now since the news; it needs more music.

    He mentioned before they can only play one song a day must be some sort of contractual agreement.

    All kind of strange Joe, seems to be ‘no change’ at all out in Montrose.

    No cuts, no changes, no nowt.

    Not hoping anyone loses out, but of course it seems strange that it’s business as usual out there?

    Very difficult trying to square the circle out there.

    I mean, there’s no sport as such going on, could Marty Morrissey or someone,not fill in for Callan who has no connection with RTE.

    Kind of strange in my opinion.
