I dunno either. Whatever it is, it's highly subjective. Things have gone so PC nowadays that men need to self censor. Women on the other hand can be highly critical of men and we're expected to just listen.

Usually I'd raise an eyebrow at Ray but leave him on as matters of interest do arise. But heard quite enough by the time he got going.

Poor aul Ray gets dogs abuse in here.

I just hope that he didn't mess up reading Frau Jenny's monologue at the start of the show, or the abuse at home will be worse.

sligojoek · 11-03-2019 4:07pm

A litany of ads to start off with.

padd b1975 · 11-03-2019 4:13pm

I wonder will Ray ask Pauline Mcglynn about her time on Shameless...

RTE's pet, Hozier.

Almost done Ray with the Government propoganda, just remind the audience that anybody who has suspicions that their children were damaged by the vaccine are emotional terrorists.

cant stand Pauline , everything thats bad about thespians - there was an incident in a pub near the Abbey where one of her thespian friends spilled a drink on my friends jacket - lets just say shes annoying on radio / tv and doesnt seem very nice in real life.

Jeremy, this sexist schtick is getting a little tiresome. It's 2019 and people are now allowed to respect their wives as equals, without being lampooned as sissies, or as hen-pecked. Can you cut it out? Criticise D'arcy all you want - most of us do - but leave out the jibes about how manly you think he isn't.

If he continues to be apologetic for being a man, and continues to be a terrible role model for young men, then he's fair game. It's 2019 and we're meant to be equals, we're not meant to be subservient.

In the vast majority of cases it has nothing to do with the vaccine. No vaccine is 100% safe of course (nothing is, really), but a lot of these so-called vaccine injuries are mixing up correlation with causation.

Jeremy is correct. Ray is the one constantly discussing gender and criticising males for everything. I'm sure if he didn't continually bang on about gender and pit men against women then posters on boards wouldn't either.

Goochy (whose post has been deleted) has been banned from the Forum for one week, after discussing moderation in the thread, after having been asked not to.

Guys, the appropriate place to dicuss moderation is via PM with a moderator. If anyone *consistently* breaches the Forum Charter on this rule or another rule, it will result in a significant ban.

This anti gambling assole airing two races from Cheltenham then goes on a rant about addiction
Hypocrite

kazamo · 12-03-2019 4:10pm

Does my voice sound different. I'm in a smaller studio because of Cheltenham.
We'll be interrupting our program because of Cheltenham
Do you have a gambling addiction, is this week especially difficult for you.

Ray not happy about something

sligojoek · 12-03-2019 4:11pm

Straight in with the anti-Cheltenham propaganda. Get over it Ray.

Uncharted · 12-03-2019 4:17pm

Unusual for a little Kildare jockey to not be into horse racing

SEPT 23 1989 · 12-03-2019 4:33pm

straight from a break to the race

such a child

at least with Mooney it was a bit of craic during the festival

sligojoek · 12-03-2019 4:35pm

Somebody needs their ar$e kicked there. Why wasn't that interview curtailed?

sligojoek · 12-03-2019 4:39pm

Why did he have to move studio when they're just cutting to the audio from C-ham? No discussion before or after the race. He should just take the week off and give the show to Mooney or even Brenda.

SEPT 23 1989 · 12-03-2019 4:41pm

some nice wholesome GAA to distract us from the bold horse racing

Bad state of affairs when Mooney is better craic than his replacement.

I'd suffer Brenda Donoghue at thís rate

Ray 'em' Darcy 'em'.

Em em em em.

What's up with the speech impediment?
Is it put on?

sligojoek · 12-03-2019 5:14pm

For a man that tells us to respect women more he should practice what he preaches. Butting in and talking all over that GAA woman. I'd say he's worse than Joe Duffy but he's not.

Wash your mouth out with soap and Garavogue water...

No shortage of Garavogue water this evening.

giveitholly · 12-03-2019 7:14pm

Why does Ray have jockeys on his radio/TV show but still won't introduce the racing from Cheltenham?

I'd say at the family meeting that it was decided for him by Jenny mutually agreed that Michael Jackson was now a bad man. Knowing Ray, he will be back playing Michael Jackson records this time next year - he's never been a man to stick with his convictions

he just goes with the flow...he's our Oprah

To be fair to D'arcy, at least he is taking a stand. He will have to be consistent about it, though.

He also looks to talk to shops that sell large winning lotto tickets. But I forgot the lotto isn't gambling

jeremyj1968 · 12-03-2019 9:46pm

They had the radio on today in the office, and there it was - an advertisement for Boyle Sports, in the middle of the Ray D'Arcy radio show. Now I frequently think that I'm just after waking up in an actual parallel universe these days, so maybe some might be able to correct me. Is this not the same self righteous, pontificating, man that went on numerous rants about the dangers of gambling in the past 18 months?

What an absolute f**king hypocrite the man is. I bet his fridge is full of donuts and ice cream as well. He has no license or no credibility to lecture the Irish people on any topic.

Taking a stand ? Pfft.
Like his stand on leaving the country if Enda was made Taoiseach ? :pac:

Talking out through both sides of his mouth,you mean.

Typical RTE double standards crap.

Darcy was lauding the postman (Tony 10) who gambled millions. He also chases lotto winners for interviews. He has an agenda and it's sickeningly unprofessional.

Em em ,sugar is bad for ya,em,eat your porridge and don't gamble,em em. Go for a run if your are tempted to gamble. Em em.

Fcuk off Darcy.

in fairness, I don't think broadcasters have any involvement with (or prior knowledge of) advertisements that happen during their broadcasts. In fact, given that RTÉ is a national broadcaster, I doubt it would be legal for a broadcaster to impose his or her personal restrictions.

Having said that, and as other posters have mentioned, it's clearly irrational how Ray D'Arcy rails against gambling but is is keen to pursue lottery winners and anyone associated with them.

I can't buy that. It's his name on the tin. Surely if you were taking responsibility and backing up what you said there would be no grey area, you would be saying this 90 minutes has my name on it and there will be no promotion of gambling during this time. Could you imagine what D'Arcy himself would be saying about it if he was still on Today FM and still giving out about the national broadcaster. He would not be separating the show's presenter from the very prominent advertisement.

People need to know that this man who RTE have given the license to lectures us all on how to live our lives is a complete fraud and does not live by the high ideals that he sets for other people.

Oh ffs, I'm angry again, and now I'm going to bed angry, which means I'll wake up angry, and then I'll hear Ray D'arcy tomorrow.. :mad::mad::mad:

I am prepared to take him at his word and see if he is a new man, so to speak (channelling Joe). If this just happens to be a passing fad with him, then he is indeed a spoofer. But from here on in if he genuinely (I'm channelling Miriam now) backs off on interviewing lotto winners and is consistent with his anti gambling stance, the I would say fair play to him.

The media game he is in makes it difficult to make any kind of a stand. Which is why I am surprised he did. What's happening with him may very well be like when people become vegan for a few months after seeing a documentary on how food is made. Then that all goes out the window next time they step into McDonalds. Time will tell.

I will give D'arcy a chance to show his sincerity.

sligojoek · 12-03-2019 10:24pm

I'm no fan of gambling myself, but if someone else wants to do it, off with them. I actually enjoy the athmosphere around racing. Today's stunt by him was like a little spoilt child. He had his rant about being shoved into a tiny studio. So what. How big does the studio have to be? There's just him and the mic. He drew out the interview with a guy who was on Countdown yesterday till the ad break. We came back to a race (The feature race of the day if I'm not mistaken) that was already on. No intro. No telling us the runners and riders. As soon as the race was over there was an ad for Boyle sports, then straight back to Ray. Any producer worth their salt would have been in his ear telling him to wind down sooner. Maybe they did and he ignored it.

I dunno, I dunno.

As I said earlier he should shag off for the week and let someone with a bit of charisma do the show.

When there are features on the show like horse racing the advertising sellers will ring up companies that have an interest in the topic and sell advertising to them directly on that basis.

As such the broadcaster would be aware that it is entirely likely indeed highly probable that there will be related ads.

This is why there are frequently ads on RTE related to the topics being featured, in between ads for other RTE ventures of course.

There used to be a lad around here that knew the machinations of it all and would educate us so to speak

I said this last year Joe, but how did all this stuff not come up when he was doing the interview for taking the job with RTE. He had a problem with handing over to the Nuacht being on at 3.30pm (so they moved it for him), he now seems to still have a problem with handing over to them at 4pm, he wont present the horseracing. All of these things Derek Mooney did with professional and in an obliging manner. All of these things should surely have been decided on when his contract was being negotiated.
