Lottie Ryan

Does this Lottie wan have a journalism degree or did she just get her role in RTÉ because she is Gerry daughter?? She certainly is not good at the job of a radio journalist, although I have to admit I have only listened to her less than 5 times in total. But to me she is just another Kardashian inspired wanna famous/celebrity. Even her doing the dancing show I found a bit grotesque, as apparently she has been dancing since being a spoilt brat kid and even has business in it now.

I'm pretty sure yes the answer to both of your questions, I think a poster mentioned something about Griffith college a while back.
I'm not sure how I feel about prior dance training for the dancing show, on the one hand it's a huge advantage and uneven playing field (as is having an rte guide front page and puff piece in the closing weeks of the competition) but on the other hand alot of 'stars' are involved in the performance side of the entertainment industry so it may be unfair to exclude them? It's not ideal anyways that's for sure!

So if you don’t and won’t listen to her why are you posting on a Lottie Ryan thread?

I seen the thread pop up so came in for a look.
Tried to listen to her to see what all the fuss was about.
Didn’t like her accent, or the material so I didn’t listen again.

Posting , because I find a lot of you hilarious.

Jealousy maybe ? I’m not sure what the problem is but I’d let it go.
Can’t be healthy getting so annoyed over a young woman trying her best to get by.
Who wouldn’t use family connections to get a leg up (no pun intended as to her dancing with the stars)

But the accent ....

Is you're hobby taking off her accent? You posted the above in this thread a few days ago.

Or maybe somewhere to catalogue/discuss rte nepotism outside of the threads on that actual show ?

Nepotism is a serious issue as it cheats people out of deserved roles they should have gotten on merit and it is also wrong in the sense that the taxpayer is funding it. If I see things that bother me on private channels I.e boards, newstalk, bbc etc it doesnt bother me as much as I am not funding it so I dont feel a need to highlight it.

You start off. As I said I couldn't identify any of the current 2 FM presenters as belonging to a broadcasting family, except Ryan. But you want to expand it to all or RTE.

You will need to name those who were cheated out of roles as well as those who got the roles because of their family connections. You probably have a long list. But just remember that a family member working in the same field, or even for the same employer is not automatically nepotism. You have to prove it in each case.

Why would we be fuming? It’s a tv show. She just made the comment that the other lady deserved it more. You do understand that?

Who is infatuated?

Maybe you can explain what your talking about because to me it’s a load of gibberish.

Normally if you know nothing about a topic or no interest you don’t comment on that thread, it’s fairly basic on any of these forums. You do understand what boards is? Also how you should use it?

Good man . Hope you both feel better now

True . And I pay my license fee .

I just don’t care though. Best of luck to her.

Right on. Right on.

Anyone with negative opinions can just leave this forum. Actually leave boards altogether.
We only want kindness around here!!!!!!!
Kind!

You and others are making really really serious allegations against those who recruit in RTE. You have to prove it. You are also calling Lottie Ryan a liar.

She could be mistaken. Certainly dont think shes a liar, I think shes seems like a nice cheerful person.

I dont "have" to do anything either, this is a discussion board on the internet and we are not in a court. Theres plenty of circumstancial evidence if you read the threads I suppose.

I'm not sure what's to be gained out of this, we both have different opinions, I dont think you are going to change yours which you are entitled to and unless some solid proof comes to light I'm probably not going to change mine, it's a bit circular at this point and boring me frankly. Hope you enjoy the rest of your morning.

Seeing you mentioned Boards, Newstalk and the BBC in the discussion, are you making the same allegations against their HR Departments? There is a direct equivalent to the Ryan case in the BBC, Zoe Ball is the daughter of Johnny Ball.

No,I'm not interested in them, as I said my point was that when there are things that may bother me on other media platforms that I dont have to pay for myself I just dont dont engage with them.

For instance I wouldn't engage on a thread on a different forum in which I have no interest and tell the posters there to get another hobby or criticise them. Same goes for other media channels like newstalk or the bbc ( I think I may been unclear and implied that the bbc was private ). I dont pay for them via a licence fee and they dont seek handouts from the Irish government as much as rte so their practises arent as much of a concern to me.

That's a scathing attack on our national broadcaster, take it back

I thought she had early mornings and the Entertainment news had been dropped. She's currently standing in for Jennifer Z.

Lottie for President!!!!!

So. What options are available to us to destroy her that don't need to resort to bullying?
