THE LATE LATE TOY Show magic is strong in RTÉ tonight. So strong, it’s even got the normally super serious Six One News team all giddy.
After a thoroughly delightful segment on the Toy Show, the camera cut back to a giggling Bryan Dobson and Sharon Ní Bheoláin, who then uttered these words:

No, go on Dobbo – you go.
Who’d have thought the country’s fond nickname for the veteran broadcaster would ever be mentioned on the news itself?
Naturally, the viewers at home were delighted with this nugget of informality.
Dobbo, to get her back, you have to call her Shazza. Live on air, at your earliest convenience. We believe in you.

The excitement…….it’s too much for me……….
Pop…
At least it wasn’t a Freudian slip in calling him a nob end instead of dobbo
Knobbo
Wow
People are easily amused in Ireland.
Shazza can call me Dobbo any day of the week!
FG Dobbo
haha even a news reader isnt spared the SF/IRA hate
dobbo and the other political spend their time mis explaining away gov decisions when gov themselves cannot eg. IRISH WATER
ask George lee how his time in FG went?? why did he leave after being elected?? I’l save you the rte version, he left due to lack of interest as he was told “we don’t like your kind round here”
Faith in humanity restored.
This is just WAY too much excitement for me at this time of night!!! I’m sure my work colleagues have shortened my name too on occasions ffs.
Thank God lots of people tweeted about it.
Cancer will not officially be cured until it gets at least 1 like on vibe and 8 likes on twitter – fact.

6.7% growth…. Growth…. Growth…. Growth.. Grow.. Gro.. Gr…
Welcome my son…….welcome to the macheee eee eee n….where have you been……
6.7% growth is a lie and propaganda? Not truth?
You’d don’t get it gold..
She could call me anything she wants…the fine beure
I don’t pay my license fee to listen to blatant sexism like this.
Sharon Ní Bheoláin should be removed from Montrose immediately and replaced by someone more suitable.
While I’m here.
Anything on TV tonight?
Been searching around and can’t find anything worth watching.
It’s ok, you can admit you have a Santa hat on watching the toy show.
There’s a repeat of Bear Grylls on at 11, if piss drinking is your thing. If not, there’s always the Oireachtas TV; true, its only a blank message until the morning, but that leaves room for imagination.
Titanic struggle between my inner child and me right now.
I’m winning.
Sharon Ní Babeán can call me dobbo any time
Cheers Rönän.
Maybe I’ll just hang in here chatting to my internet buddies.
Friends, partying, ladies….who needs them?
I’m spending my Friday night on the Journal discussing RTE news bloopers.
My weekend’s made.
tommy, sounds like u need an away weekend
Cheers Jenni.
Best offer I’ve had in ages.
Where you taking me?
its up to you..where do cynical, negative guys like to hang out?. or would you like to see a whole new world?
oh I cant do this weekend, we are all off tomorrow on a girly day, all 36 of us..
you could come to a wooooomen fest if you like
“.where do cynical, negative guys like to hang out?”
The pub usually. But I don;t drink so that option’s not open.
Let me see………………..
Me and 36 women on a wooooomen fest?
How did you know that was on my bucket list?
just a hunch..
Anyway, enjoy your weekend.
I have to shift four tons of dry stone tomorrow so that should cure my cynicism for sure.
…and this is journalism?
More bollocks!
He looks more like Dobbie
Yes, he’s a handsome devil
Yeah but the whole of Rte are like smigeul! My pweeeecious! Give me your license fees!!
So what? I have struggled to understand the fascination with plasticine pam and mutton head, but that’s just me
Thank god wear getting this kind of news…I think we need help..no wounded the government walks all over us. Stupid.
I wonder does she put her foot between his legs as they’re reading the news
Maybe he should start calling her Sharon Ní Bheolatron 3000…
Ah I love them both !!
??? Hat on earth hate you on about
Bit of a premature ejaculation there Paul. I know, the excitement of it all…
I’ve had a few Jack Daniels and Coke
A fine manly drink it is too. I’m having a nice bottle of fizzy prosecco. Chin chin.
best uncle monty response of the year…I just spayed out my toy show wine!!
Brilliant Monty !
Wish she’d call me ha ha!!!!
That is surely the news item of the year
I can’t cope
What is her name in English?
I guess it would be the same as it is in any language – Sharon Ní Bheoláin
Sharon needs to do her roots and eyebrows but that is just a personal suggestion…
Was that in the Lord of the Rings? lol.
have your say
