That's it ! everybody in RTE should be executed forthwith

Gas man. I enjoy his milk teeth characters.
Ahh Kevin is my favourite

[artfoley]

Tubs is

[carryharry]

He’ll make a return ala Bertie.

In the meantime, he can sip coffee and write a dozen books to keep the wolves from the foyer.

Good luck to him.

@Smark

I have difficulty enough in feeling sympathy for him as have trouble believing he was getting the guts of 100k extra in salary a year and had no awareness about where it came from. He has been terribly advised from the start to finish.

I’d find it difficult not to admire the man receiving the extra €100k tbh, but each to their own.

@backinatracksuit

I was told a story one time by the parents of a child with special needs that was attending our school and you couldn’t but realise that he was an extraordinarily decent human, and remains so in this case years later,

Sometimes I am jealous of people with a high profile because it allows them the opportunity to make that difference for n peoples lives, many pay lip service to it but Tubridy goes the extra mile, that’s well known.
I wouldn’t have much interest in that type of radio or the late late

Deadly. And lovely. I was told a story one time that leaves you in absolutely no doubt that the man is a conniving cunt. I’m pretty sure it’s true. Id imagine both stories have elements of truth.

That would leave a significant grey area…

Indeed, that’s human nature right?
Nothing I could say would make you change your mind and vice Versa.
Life goes on, none of this matters to us,
I hope he’ll land in his feet in some way, we all need a reason to get out of bed, maybe he will write a few books, who knows.
He seems to have had a nice gig, reading books and keeping up to date with the news and cultural events, of course he can still do that but without the broadcasting.
I’m way out of the loop in the story but from what I’ve read here he seems to have made a statement critical of RTE? It’s hardly a surprise to the top dogs in the circumstances, this Bakhurst fella is in danger of throwing out the baby with the bath water in his attempt to appear ruthless.
Jesus I can’t stand some of the RTE ‘talent’ (Duffy, Darcy etc) but they’re very popular, like Ryan was/is

[Massey]

Is that supposed to be funny,or is it funny cause it’s terrible?

[Biff_Egan]

Clear that Paddy needs John
Bull to come in and restore order

[Iggy]

Tubs sounding a bit needy there. He would have got his radio gig back only himself and NK couldn’t stop themselves from mouthing off in the media.

[Realbhoy]

I think the last line here is key. Didn’t know what to do when things went against him for the first time.

[Joemac]

Has Tubbs actually worked for another broadcaster or organisation since he left school?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Since he was 12 he was there

[jellyfish]

He did holiday cover a few times for BBC radio but hasn’t done it in a few years.

[Massey]

He’s never worked a day in his life

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

He lining up a travel programme in Australia with Russell Crowe.

@Bandage

Time to up the ante & turn the screw on the RTE GGA pundits wearing those garish 3-piece suits from that menswear place in Sligo (EG Menswear or something?) on The Sunday Game. Surely a paid promotion / benefit in kind too? I’ve just reported it in Raheny Garda Station (cc @gilgamboa) but only for those who wear brown shoes with the suits.

GAA pundits using ‘The Sunday Game’ to promote brands without RTÉ’s approval

[TreatyStones]

@Bandage is a rat to the law

[myboyblue]

Poor Bennetti

[Bandage]

Anybody trying to product place brown shoes while wearing navy suits is a legitimate target.

[Spidey]

Why would these shops have to use RTE when they have their own in house guerrilla marketing team?
