Morning Ireland.

It's called creating hysteria, fear & scaremongering. Rte are great at trying to do that. Sure months on and they're still in sick that trump was elected and can't understand why the yanks didn't vote the way they wanted them to

Having watched on webcam I couldn't help but notice that there were large gaps where the presenters weren't on air so I had a closer look this morning Tuesday Feb 28th. I calculated that Gavin Jennings did just under 20 minutes of interviewing during the 120 minute show. His co presenter Rachael English did slightly less including an interview with a chef on how to make pancakes!! How come other presenters like Sean O Rourke Pat Kenny, Mary Wilson can do a 2 hour show on their own and yet these two presenters could only manage 40 minutes between them.

they should get rid of 'the papers' segment , pointless and irrelevant then Cathal might be less breathless and stop saying " this is an important issue i'm sure well have to come back to again"

Bizarre morning on MI this am.

We had a Freudian slip when the It says in the Papers reader said of the Pres debate “When all the shyting is over”.

Very apt....


Then you had Minister Josepha Madigan and Prof. Colum Kenny slugging it out over the blasphemy referendum.

Both shouting each other down and in my opinion Kenny came across as a smug arrogant sleeve who wanted his own way.

At the end it degenerated into a cacophony of unintelligible sound, even the presenter had to snigger.

Will it be on Playback next Saturday I wonder.

Well done to Clodagh, she took it well.

Let’s hear Cahill talking thru gritted teeth in the sports bulletins this morning.

He will imply the penalty decision was questionable.


Listen out......

He'd be right.

I wasn’t disappointed.... Cahill speaking thru clenched teeth.

Made sure to emphasize he thought the penalty was harsh

If it was Liverpewell he would be coming out through the mic.....


Great to hear it being driven up him.. criticized Neville yet he does the same after a Liverpewell win

And don’t give me the West Ham fan bunkum :D

Ah, a bit unfair really. It was in good spirits. What did he say .. something like he agreed 'Man U are actually likeable now'. I wasn't expecting that.

Said through gritted teeth though, “First time in 25 years I wanted them to win”

Next bulletin should be interesting.

I expect VAR to come under pressure along with Gary Neville.

:D

Heheh prediction spot on, bulletin delivered in deadpan fashion, Gary Neville targeted for a “giddy” or “giddee” in Des speak, interview.

No fear of Dezzie getting “emotional” over this one.

Made my morning boiled egg taste verrry good....very good indeed.:D:D

New presenter yesterday & today called Maggie. Sounded like a good addition from the bit I heard

Not new, has done a few stints before, for me, she is a bit ‘pressing’ tends to force things a bit and can get a bit strident.

Hasn’t got the easy calm of Audrey C and Rachel E.

Wouldn’t like to have her buzzing in my ear for too long.

Seems to have a feminist kind of attitude, but I could be wrong.

Has promise.

It was Gavin Jennings and Maggie Doyle. Bryan Dobson, Audrey Carvill and Rachael English all missing, Rachael seems to disappear for weeks at a time. I think Samantha Libreri has been sprung from the replacements bench as well recently.

I’d love to know their wages - have often suggested here that RTE make it look like their presenters have seen a drop in their salaries, however, from what I can see, their workload also appears to have lessened

Jaysus, to hear Cahill this morning you’d be forgiven for thinking Liverpewell won instead of getting thrashed 5-1..

I never heard such spin on a beating in fairness.....



And I know they were reserves....... and I know he’s supposed to support WHU....


Good lad Dezzie.....

I have a question, I'm not sure if it has been asked or mentioned elsewhere.
Dr. Gavin Jennings, is a qualified medical doctor and he uses the dr title on his twitter handle . Does anyone know if he still works in medicine as well as presenting Morning Ireland?
