RTE 1: 'Today' with Claire Byrne

You have to laugh about all the constant mental health concerns in the media and then they proceed to hound Gordon Elliott every single day since the story broke, he apologised, what more do they want from the man?

For him not to sit and pose like an eejit on dead animals?

CB is really pushing this, she wants him cancelled.

I would agree with this guy, we have lost the ability to forgive these days. People must be ruined, and nothing else will satisfy the mob and social media.

Yes, she seems very keen to push this as far as she can.

If the whole country is so upset by a man sitting on a dead horse why don't the hound the lads that drive the horses into the ground with their sulky racing.

Wait, we cant talk about them or we will be discrimination against then, but the can hound a decent man into the ground, makes no since to me.

Because this "decent man" works in an industry that attracts huge amounts of funding from the exchequer?

Travellers have their own 'industry' on the go that costs the tax payers tens of millions every year!

Eamon Dunphy's on now.

If CB can't control a politician....

Dunphy is an embarrassment at thus stage and a terrible pundit to have on "Declan Rice is one of the best players in the world" and "Jack Grealish is on the brink of the England team" :pac:

He think's Stephen Kenny is open to anyone playing for Ireland who qualifies! That'll come as news to the likes of premiership striker Michael Obafami who has seen semi-professionals from League of Ireland selected ahead of him.

Names?

Them Neanderthals also cost the state millions every year - crime, social welfare, forever homes,
At least GE works and employs around 100 people who all pay tax to the state
Them scum of the earth dont work pay taxes or contribute to society, and yet they are savage bastards when it comes to horses
One cnut crashed his horse and trap into a car then left the horse dead and the poor woman in the car injured

So ye like for like GE is a decent man compared to knackers

1. Where did I say that what Elliott did is wrong, but everything else you mentioned is right?
2. Horseracing is big on the "love of the animal", but I find it hard to believe that someone who loves animals like is professed would immediately forget about that once an animal dies and sees it as a handy seat
3. I'm not defending sulky racing or similar, it's as indefensible as GE. The difference is that Gordon Elliott has a public persona so of course it's a bigger news story
4. Love that anti-traveller bias has made it's way to the radio forum. Endemic on boards these days, and seemingly is acceptable :rolleyes:

Michael McNamara, what a buffoon, if he could listen to himself, he'd shut up. Just absolutely clueless and by all accounts hapless.

Was he on for the gathering or another topic?

For the gathering albeit I'm not at all sure why, ranting against NPHET, lockdowns, restrictions etc, I wouldn't mind so much if he had any coherent answers, hard to believe he actually chaired a Dail committee on covid, particularly given his clear Bias.

I actually just listened to to it there and I think he was fine. I certainly wouldnt say he was incoherent.

I thought he came across better than the guy who was calling for all students at the party in Limerick to be expelled and how Horse Racing Ireland should have made a statement condemning the Mary Robinson story last week. I don't even remember any political or media pressure on them to make a statement and to be honest I didn't even know there was any link between and HRI until I listened to this and I'm still not sure what the link is

TBH I am not sure what the fuss is about Gordon Elliott only sat on a dead horse. The processed food industry made you eat them 5+ years ago

Correct.

Simon Harris doing yet another car crash interview on CB.

She is giving him a soft easy interview but he is still effing up.

What the hell is this guys secret?

Utterly devoid of charisma, a college drop out, a political failure on multiple fronts, yet still a cabinet minister !?
