5 years on air today. Five.

It's been such a waste. After three months Mooney wanted to be back in the job, and would have appreciated it if he had been given the chance to come back.

Five years wasted with D'Arcy in the afternoon. Like the ten years wasted with Tubridy on the Late Late show.

I only realised recently that she's Brendan's sister.

"Congratulations to all the RTE staff who did a great job during the election."

I'm sure they were more than well paid for it.

That's true. The coverage was very good.

Well for almost 1/2 a million a year, if Ray can't operate a radio desk properly after how many years of radio? Then quiet frankly, give it up and let someone competent take over.

Any other job, he'd be dragged before management for being an incompetent fool.

elperello · 11-02-2020 5:59pm

I listened up to 4 today.

Bit of uninspiring patter which is normal for this type of show.

Good item about libraries and MD's books.

Great story from that Garda who overcame his demons and is trying to help victims.

That's just my opinion.

leedsforever · 13-02-2020 5:26pm

BTW Ray Eamonn Coughlin was only World Champion in the 1500 metres. Does Ray know anything that's not on the cue cards?

World Champion 5000 m 1983.

The cue card probably spelt Eamonn Coghlan's name right too

BarryD2 · 19-02-2020 4:07pm

Ray's back.. and flogging a 'dead horse' at this stage.

sligojoek · 19-02-2020 4:12pm

RTE are really milking this Caroline Flack stuff.

generalgerry · 19-02-2020 4:15pm

No Ray, the thinking is that we are paying for you, you clown.

sligojoek · 19-02-2020 4:20pm

What's the gender balance like in the orchestra?

What has that to do with anything?

generalgerry · 19-02-2020 4:25pm

I think Ray criticising other people for being hypocritical is the most hypocritical thing I have ever heard.

sligojoek · 19-02-2020 4:58pm

Who is this lad? The NCT is 55e not 75e

sligojoek · 19-02-2020 7:30pm

Ray must have been reading. He came back on later and corrected it.

"an easy mistake to make"

He got the re-test fee wrong as well.

Heard that bit,think he was a bit disappointed when he was told it was pretty even,he was prob hoping it was mostly male so he could give one of his famous sighs

BarryD2 · 21-02-2020 4:13pm

It's the other way around Ray - YOU'RE of a certain age!

jk23 · 21-02-2020 4:17pm

Nice segway there Ray with outkasts song!!!

21-02-2020 5:49pm

He was in woke mode today. “Polly Pocket was a toy for girls”. Quickly corrected to some statement about boys could play with it too. I thought boys only played with Holey Pocket

jelutong · 22-02-2020 6:37pm

That reminds me of the joke about the boy when asked what he wanted for Christmas.Answered,something to wear and something to play with. So the parents bought him a pair of trousers and cut a hole in the pocket.

Girls could wear them too

BarryD2 · 25-02-2020 4:08pm

Confused.. thought we weren't allowed to use smart phones Ray. Are they not BAD?

Odyssey 2005 · 25-02-2020 4:09pm

Clown head looking for more technology in the studio ,:)

Telling people how to wats app

BPKS · 25-02-2020 4:09pm

For about the 20th year in a row Ray is doing the same show on Pancake Tuesday

sligojoek · 25-02-2020 4:10pm

Tell us what you put on your pancakes.

A shovel of sugar.

I suppose Ray puts eggs on his. There's nothing that can't be improved by putting an egg on it.

BPKS · 25-02-2020 4:12pm

Ray doesn't seem to like the fact that the Friends cast are getting 2.5 million for the new episode of the show when it takes him a staggering 5 years to earn that much.

amlinopta · 25-02-2020 8:19pm

Not quite the same show as every other year, varied the pancake recipe with some different toppings. Dire.

I rarely listen to him but he does seem to harp on about money an awful lot. Obsessed by it. Seems to mention how he lives a simple life very often but I'd imagine that's purely because he's a hungry miser more than anything. Something very off about the man, so very obviously false and pretentious.

Lashings of porridge

I don't think he was like this on the den, seemed like a genuine fella up for a laugh, it seems since he met Jenny he takes himself way too serious and has gone extremely left

Man speaks of simple life yet is described as pretentious.

Sadly, we all grow up.
The process gets us all in the end.

Maybe but that means you are inclined to like his personality since his later days on today fm and his show now?

I'm agnostic about the "personalities" of most of that type of presenter.

As for the show I reckon it is as good or as bad as most of it's genre.

They are magazine programmes filling a gap between the serious stuff of news and current affairs.

I think he does a passable job most of the time. Not outstandingly good but certainly not as bad as some here paint him.

I have to say to preferred him early on in today fm but like you say maybe with age he has changed his style.

Maybe in the early stages of becoming a grumpy old man.

Still there's hope for him yet.

I fancy his chances at the Ronan Collins slot in a few years.

He actually made a joke on air yesterday about going to lyric fm, I actually think he will eventually end up there

He's an old DJ at heart and all old DJ's need a home.

Agreed on the actual show itself being lightweight, its neither the time nor the place for heavy journalism but that being said just because the shown is light hearted it doesnt make it ok that someone with a career that long and on a wage that high with a support team that big makes that many errors and acts so unprofessionally on air.

26-02-2020 4:12pm

“Lent has its genesis in religion”. How much is this muppet paid again?

Everyone to their own but that sort of detail doesn't bother me in the least.

I've been listening to radio for years so maybe my standards are slipping..
