Sharon Ni Bheolain on RTE 1 News

ATC110 · 05-04-2020 11:11am #1

Does anyone know if Sharon is a member of an Abba tribute band?

Harry Palmr · 05-04-2020 11:13am

If we're referring to the same thing, I saw that all white ensemble a few days ago, she was as wide at her feet as at her shoulders. Just needed a carrot for her nose. Looked ludicrous.

(Oh yeah - Mamma Mia!)

Abboesque is coming

I didn't watch it.

Her dress sense is terrible, always has been, someone should call the fashion Police on her.

Do RTE gave the news broadcasters a budget to buy clothes or does she buy clothes in charity shops in D4. ?:D

Dtp1979 · 05-04-2020 11:30am

Pics please

yosser hughes · 05-04-2020 11:34am

There should be a certain standard or dress code required. She's presenting the news not some arts programme.
She looks ridiculous at times.

Imagine having to come up with a new outfit to wear almost every day, knowing that so many people will judge you on that outfit. Too risqué, too conservative, too boring, too black, too high, too low, too long, too white, inappropriate.

It must be ****ing exhausting. I reckon the only way to manage this is to not give a flying fcuk what you or anyone alse thinks.

The men, on the other hand can just change their tie or the shade of their shirt to evoke perceived change. It's much easier but I guess some men would enjoy more freedom from the uniform that 90% of men on TV wear.

I always find it a bit odd that in conservative society, men are expected to dress more or less exactly the same as every other man of his standing but each woman is expected to dress uniquely.

Hippykitten · 05-04-2020 11:40am

Sharon is very good-looking but I don't think that this current look suits her. I think that it makes her look a size bigger.

Rodney Bathgate · 05-04-2020 11:42am

She is an attractive lady.

Does she have an OnlyFans account?

storker · 05-04-2020 11:57am

Any makeover should start with letting her stay bloody well sitting down. At a fcuking desk. Same goes for all of the news presenters. Stupid TV news fads...grrrr...a sofa for fcuk's sake...what is it, the news or daytime TV?

barney shamrock · 05-04-2020 12:02pm

Shes sounds like a shouty robot sometimes when shes talking to the other correspondents on the big screen.
Shes still beautiful though!

No, not my standard, the standard that is used for almost every single other news presenter out there.Male or female.

Who sets these rules?
(which don't appear to be rules, as evidenced by SNB)
Also, why are the rules for men dramatically different to the rules for women?

What rules ? I never said there were rules
There are standards and comparisons though. How does Sharon's choice of attire compare to her contemporaries

Grotesque bearded adult gamers giving an attractive woman advice on what to wear and how much makeup to use.

I completely agree with this ^^

To be fair, it’s not just RTE, the Beeb has Fiona Bruce et al standing up. It’s bad enough with the fellas but the women look uncomfortable at best. I don’t know what the psychology of it is, maybe one news bulletin did it and the rest of the sheep followed?

PS I don’t really care what she wears, btw. I want to hear the news

She has gotten engaged apparently.

There’s a nice Ho Chi Minh vibe off that outfit.

Yep. I like it too. I think modern interpretations of the pajama kurta theme often look good. It is a graceful useful type of clothing. Comfortable, flowing, classic, graceful. Overall pretty damn groovy. And Sharon is gorgeous looking.

freshpopcorn · 05-04-2020 2:03pm

I think it’s sort of good that she doesn’t wear the same old black dress/suit all the time!

I agree, I've noticed that they're wearing black a lot recently and its awful on them imo.Sharon is very good looking and I like that style but it does seem to swamp her,l love the pastel colours anyway rather head to toe in black.

Wanderer2010 · 05-04-2020 2:45pm

She only got that position because of her looks.

She could hide when Dobbo was next to her but now she is on her own, her lack of presenting and questioning skills are painfully obvious. She stammers over her words, repeats herself a lot and asks really pedestrian, by the numbers questions when anyone of note like a politician or civil servant is on the programme. Add to this she often looks at the wrong camera and laughs very inappropriately too at times, recent example when she was told Donald Trump gave himself a 10 for his handling of the virus situation- she burst out laughing and could barely hold it in for a minute or two afterwards.

Nothing but eye candy but enough people in Ireland obviously don't mind that. But if you want a talented and capable presenter/interviewer. Dobbo was your man.

It must be ****ing exhausting. I reckon the only way to manage this is to not give a flying fcuk what you or anyone alse thinks.

The men, on the other hand can just change their tie or the shade of their shirt to evoke perceived change. It's much easier but I guess some men would enjoy more freedom from the uniform that 90% of men on TV wear.

I always find it a bit odd that in conservative society, men are expected to dress more or less exactly the same as every other man of his standing but each woman is expected to dress uniquely.

nonsense

if you think its men that give two dry ****es if sharon had three work suits that she kept drycleaned you're absolutely deluding yourself

for what its worth shes a fine bit a gear, good at her job and can wear what she likes for all i care

My mum's become quite obsessed by the female news presenter's fashion since they stepped out from behind their desks a year or two ago. She maintains that Sharon Ní Bheoláin must not have a good pair of legs as she always keeps them well covered.

I'd say it's more to keep viewers focused on what she's saying rather then on how her legs are looking. They used to say that guys with beards shouldn't do presentations, because people look at the beard and get distracted. That's obviously gone out the window these days, though. :rolleyes:

You do realise it's a lot of made up nonsense. If she just wore the same outfit every time, no one would pass any remarks.

Fancies herself as a bit of a model, is my guess. Which is fine, but don't act like the women have no choice but to dress differently. Definitely a case of them wanting to.

What ever happened to the me 2 stuff?

I'd suggest that a significant quantity of the comments are from women.

If that is the case will they stop carping when there is any criticism of women on any subject under the sun.

If men can make a contribution by changing their shirt, women should do the same.
