The "Greg Gaughren" thread [Archive]

I know he did what he did but this post ain't about that.

I listened into East Coast about half 3 today and he was on and it was just like being tuned into FM104 - same laid back style, same distinguished voice and same witty sense of humour they comes across in every single link. Anyone that knows him will remember everytime meeting him he'd have a new joke to tell you, the horrible, disgraceful side couldn't have even been imagined.

I for one, will without a doubt tune into East Coast day in, day out to catch his show. The links Dangerous Dave and Greg used to do could have ye in tears somedays- two fellas that would deffinitely be at my bar table if I had my way by the sounds of them on air!

Anyway, I think East Coast and Greg are both getting something fantastic out of it- they a great jock and Greg- another chance at his career.

Ireland - 1, Germany - 1.

Me too - His personal life is his PERSONAL life . I only asked for a confirmation as I never heard it before and he didn't seem like the character for physical violence.

Katy Lied

Agreed. Personal life is just that and anyway, it's in the past.
Best wishes to Greg for his welcome return and the show. Great to hear him back. I'd say some daytime jocks are getting a bit nervous not that there's some REAL competition on the airwaves.

Personal life is personal life to a certain extent, I don't think too many of east coasts female listeners who know about his convictions will be too impressed to hear him.

Its not like he had an affair or somethng that you can just simply frown upon, hes a bloody wife beater. Am I the only one who thinks this is wrong?

Rig For Sale

6th June 2002, 12:10

I agree, it is VERY VERY wrong.

Most abusers are just that; all show and sweet as pie on the outside, as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouth, but behind closed doors, an absolute monster.

It is his personal life, but when it goes to court and he gets convicted it is in the public domain and we are all entitled to our opinion.

8th June 2002, 17:49

As I said, he is a good jock. However, when when you are a "personality" and are in the public domain your private life is going to be spoken about, and lets be honest, this wasn't private, every newspaper in the country knew about it.

This man lifted his hand to his own wife and bet the sh*te out of her, he shouldn't be in the public domain if that is what type of person he is.

Ta!

This is a bit much. By dragging up the past over and over you are hurting his wife as much as him. For fuxsake let it go. We have a justice system in this country. Greg was punished for his crime. He served what society said he needed to to atone for his crime. Let him and his wife get on with their lives andf good luck to the both of them.

Guest

8th June 2002, 23:04

Yep, I have to agree too. The man paid for his crime and was dealt with through the courts for what he did.

The only thing that really matters is not what happened in the past but what happens in the future..and if you hear the guy on air he sounds fantastic...every link is a textbook link..!

I too would say there are a few daytime jocks shitting themselves knowing that he's back on the market..

Best of luck to greg and no disrespect to east coast but I hope one of the bid dublin stations come in for him soon.
Women in wicklow have not collapsed in shock at hearing his voice as suggested on this board.

Dane Bowers

9th June 2002, 15:14

I'm sorry, but I really have to stick to my principles on this one

"By dragging up the past over and over you are hurting his wife as much as him"

And you don't think shes not reminded when she hears him on the radio??

I can't believe people are even suggesting that this might be ok, FM104 got rid of Greg Gaugheran after he was convicted, so as they would not look like they were condoning domestic vioence.

And whether East Coast like to admit it or not, they are now indirectly saying "we think its ok"

Its a complete disgrace!

Guest

9th June 2002, 16:26

So what are you saying Dane? that Greg should never work again - thats ridiculous, i really dont think anyone at East Coast is condoning domestic violence but the guy is entitled to work and carry on with his life, we have a judicial system in this country and Greg has passed through it so he has a right just like you and me to live a normal life.
Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, even you im sure. While i respect your principals i think you should respect the right of Greg to get on with things.

Dane Bowers

9th June 2002, 19:20

Absoloutley, of course he should be able to work again, just not in the public arena.

As an on air jock he is a public figure, and whether you like to admit it or not, people who are seen as public figures are role models in society

Is this the kind of role model you would look up to?

DarrinWard

9th June 2002, 20:33

I probably should'nt have asked

I move for dismissal of this conversation!

We really should leave this alone, surely discusing this is wrong - its just none of our business.

Public or not - let the past be the past......

12th June 2002, 10:35

Would you respect him more if he was a convicted armed robber !

Jerry Springer was caught with two pro's EVEN though he is married, but his show is still huge with the women!(admitely mong the trailer trash listnership)

Everybody has something in their past and thats where it should be left. It shouldnt take away from one's talent.

and Seans more than delighted to have him!

Dane Bowers

12th June 2002, 11:42

Thats your opinion, being with 2 prostitutes or whatever thats a guy thing, and yea, it may have caused some distress to his wife or whatever, but its excuseable since prostitution is sex, and men need to have sex, men don't need to hit women.

Domestic violence is a completely different issue, it degrades women and shows a complete lack of respect for them.

And no, I would have no objections to Greg being on air if he was caught with 10 prostitutes, if anything it would cause controversy and increase east coasts listenership!

Anyway I'm not going to discuss this any further theres a typical male attitude on this forum about matters of this nature anyway

Euan Roberts

13th June 2002, 01:03

Before you all get seriously carried away, one very important point about Greg, he physically abused and battered his wife. Did you all know that, or did you suddenly have a blank. so how in God's name can you all come on here and kind of praise this guy. I wouldn't entertain him if i was paid. All of you Radio Anoraks should know a little better than to give Greg Gaughren free publicity on this Website.

East Coast are doing a diservice to radio if he is what you say on the radio station.

13th June 2002, 20:46

Oh jesus

Im think Im gonna fall out with TWO people for saying this (yet I hope I dont :()

Ive got 2 words for those who think someone who does such an act doesn't deserve a second chance .......

Apologies to Dane and TOWK. I'll back up this post with futher thoughts tonight, but please don't see me in a different light for thinking Greg deserves another shot

Justin, you just don't like the truth about this individual. How dare you justify what this evil man has done to his wife? You obviously been a man support what he did. You should be ashamed of yourself. This guy Greg Gaughran abused his wife,and he doesn't deserve a second chance until he has been rehabilitated first, then its possible my view will change okay.

If only you knew

Where are all your morals gone in relation to Greg Gaughran's past behaviour? Have you all convienently forgotten what he has done, or have you chosen to forgive and forget with actions. Greg Gaughran should not be on radio full stop, until he pays for what he has done to his wife. Oh i forgot your all buddies of his,so of course you stand by him despite what he has done.

No you get off your high horse, the cheek of you. Furthermore, stop defending this guy. And yes i will discuss this. This is a very serious matter, do not attempt to avoid the issue. Don't try and shut me up. Greg Gaughran should not be on radio.

Greg has served his sentence as dictated by the court he was convicted in. Therefore, his punishment is OVER. Best of luck to him in East Coast. (sorry kelly, had to say something ;))

Euan Roberts

22nd July 2002, 01:18

Do we have to listen to this crap *again* in another thread??
As posted by Kelly Jones. You may consider my post crap, but i let you into a little secret, this is real and i will continue to highlight this story to other radio anoraks that care to read my commentaries.

Turiel and Kelly as you appear to be radio friends of his you both seem intent on forgetting this matter, despite his grave actions. Your as bad as him in that case.

Kelly, as i said before you tried and failed miserably with your assertive language into getting other anoraks on your side to somehow attempt to discredit any post i may put up on this website. The point is i'm been very genuine and i'm not writing this post for the fun of it to draw criticism from you lot. But then again, one shouldn't be so surprised with all your replies, as most of you try and slate my posts like a pack of vultures.

Kelly and turiel and many others you are a big bunch of bullies that are trying unsuccessfully to stop me from discussing this extremely serious matter of a professional Jock battering his wife. This man has got off very lightly with a couple of months in prison. Look at his wife, she is scarred for life because of his physical and mental abuse and trauma of her. How can you sit back and defend this man even if he is your friend. No man should ever touch a woman, let alone "BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF HER" which is what he was accused, charged, and found guilty of and subsequently sentenced on. He should of got five years with alot of conscelling and rehabilation. How the hell can the public be certain, let alone East Coast Radio that Greg doesn't start his abuse of other women. We have no guarantee of that. I think he is a liability to any radio station until he has completed a very intensive course of professional conscelling and Therapy to help his healing process

What i am trying to do is make it clear that in my opinion i have a very serous problem with Greg Gaughran been on commercial or National Radio given the circumstance.

Jimbob

22nd July 2002, 02:20

Firstly may i say Mr. Roberts I am not a friend of either Gregg or Turiel or Kelly for that neither matter nor do hit women or condone such an act. One thing i will say is your postings once again defy the natural laws of common thinking people. Once again you exaggerate all the given facts.

Firstly Mr. Gaughren did not serve any time in prison and was never sentenced to any time behind bars, so please make sure you know exactly what you are talking about before you make comments. This is not a board for making up your own facts, which you have been guilty of before. (If I remember rightly you came up with some bizarre made up JNLR figures which put 2FM on top in Dublin)

I think the guys where more or less living on theory of "live and let live" and Gregg did wrong but lets put that behind now and see if we can show some forgiveness and then and only then comment on his ability as a Jock.
If you don’t think that any station should touch him because of there female demography well fair enough but just say that and lets drop the tirade of false allegations and opinions on the false facts you put forward here.

Katy Lied

22nd July 2002, 08:57

Eh - how do you know that he did not undergo counselling and therapy - you seem to know so much about him.

I, for one would welcome him back.

Nuff.

If only you knew

22nd July 2002, 10:15

He DIDN'T do time, he got a year's suspended sentence and you have no proof he didn't receive psychological help.

Euan, you are so ignorant to the facts it's unbelievable!

How f**king dare you!

Dogger

22nd July 2002, 11:22

Greg has paid for his crime, let us allow him to rebuild his life and I, for one, am delighted he's getting a second chance. Fair play to East Coast FM.

As for Mr.Roberts, such crass and nasty comments are not welcome as far as I'm concerned, I worked with Greg for some time and I know that what he did was totally out of character and came after a huge binge and he has suffered dreadfully since. I'm not forgetting his wife, what he did was totally criminal and he got what he deserved and I hope she is now able to live her life happily, but lets allow Greg to do so as well, shall we?

DR is returning from whence he came, if you really want to know.

22nd July 2002, 12:09

just read your views regarding greg g returning to radio and i cant understand why your so against it .
first of all euan , greg g's personal life is ABSOLUTELY none of your buisness and your not in a position to judge him or anyone else for that matter ...
gazza beat his wife up , he's still on tv , hugh grant was publically humiliated with a prostitute , he's still makin movies , g. archer is doin 4 years but he'll still be selling novels ,the list is endless euan . you strike me as a very unhappy individual who obviously holds a grudge against greg g and other radio personalalities .
get rid of that chip on your shoulder and let the guy get on with rebuilding his life and keep your synical ,narrowminded pathetic views to yourself because your looking like an idiot .

ps ...on behalf of all admirers of talent ,may i wish greg all the luck in the world and welcome him back to our airwaves ..

bye ....

22nd July 2002, 13:26

This subject seems to have touched a nerve so here's my tupence worth.

Greg has been tried, convicted, has done his time as laid down by a court of this land and is now, by the same laws that apply to all of us, entitled to take his place in society again.

Regarding his right to privacy, he chose to forego that himself when he broke the law. You can't have it both ways.

Regarding his work, as he has done his time he is entitled to work with whoever will employ him.

From a humanitarian perspective I hope he has learned not to make the same mistake again, all of us make mistakes, great and small, and we are entitled to the chance to rehabilitate ourselves. At least I hope that that's the sort of country I live in.

On a personal note I find the overt joy with which some have welcomed him back a little unsettling.

vinylpusher

22nd July 2002, 13:27

Well said Stayin Alive.
It's no-one elses business, but the fact that the story went public means that it will hang over him for some time.
He still has a right to get on with rebuilding his life and do what he does best.

Welcome back to the airwaves Greg, and good luck.

Dogger

22nd July 2002, 15:41

*applause* Well said sir!

I hear that Greg will start on Tuesday the 6th of August.

Euan Roberts

22nd July 2002, 18:39

He DIDN'T do time, he got a year's suspended sentence and you have no proof he didn't receive psychological help.

Euan, you are so ignorant to the facts it's unbelievable!

How f**king dare you! As posted by "If only you knew".

Disgusting language by this person, i wouldn't of expected any less. Now how dare you attack me and my post for expressing my personal opinion about this person. Tuf luck if you don't like it you have a bloody cheek defending this ma and his actions.

Furthermore, wouldn't you know some jocks stick together through thick or thin. Here's a fine example of the males sticking together, and have absolutely not a shred of sympathy or empathy for Greg's wife and other women that have fallen fowl to men like Greg Gaughran in the past

Let me make it clear, it is my business, "Jim Bob", "Stay alive", "Vinyl Pusher," "If only you knew" and others who are trying to again bully me and my views on a very important serious issue. Of course, one has gathered from your postings that what he has done has been considered trivial and blown out of all proportions It is my business and i'm free to discuss this matter whenever i choose to. I have to endure Greg Gaughran been on the radio again, listen to the likes of Jim Bob, Vinyl Pusher, Staying alive, and If only you knew with your warped, biased, one-sided commentaries.

This individual Jim Bob, apparently has stated Greg Gaughran has served no time in prison. That is even worse that he hasn't for this serious offence. Some of you are supporting him which is even more startling and worrying. One may not have proof that he hasn't received conscelling and therapy of late, i just hope for his sake and the sake of others he has started some therapy. I guarantee this man needs it big time.

Euan Roberts.

22nd July 2002, 18:56

Before this thread threatens to explode and get very personal, leaving some bad feelings, some points need to be clarified.

Nobody here has defended what Greg Gaughren did. Not one person. In fact, if they did, I'm positive the post would have to be removed.

If i can be so bold, what people have defended here is the fact that this country is a democracy with a justice system, through which Greg was tried. Anyone who commits a crime is subject to be tried under the same system as Greg was, and everybody has a right to return to society and live a normal live once they've served that punishment.

The only person whose opinion matters on this issue is Greg's wife, and I doubt she'll be dropping by to post.

Greg wants to work, East Coast want to employ him. There are dozens of other radio stations you can retune to if you object. Hey, Euan, I hadn't realised you were such an avid listener of East Coast anyway. You've never mentioned them before!!!

Give the guy a break and let him atone his crime by doing what he does best.

Mark Hunter

23rd July 2002, 00:17

Sad sad sad. I wonder if many of the contributors to the forum who are attacking Euan would be welcoming Gaughran back into the world of radio so vociferously if it had been their sister, daughter or mother he had been beating up.

There are many stories of his twisted personal life that were common knowledge in 104 during his time there that, out of respect for others involved, I won't repeat but just ask anyone who was there and they are well known.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that he has paid his time and everyone needs to work to earn a living. My feelings on that are just that any station that chooses to put him in a position of prominence is playing a dangerous game. It's only a matter of time before the Sunday World or the Herald finds this out and runs one of the "Wife Beater Back Spinning Discs" stories that they are so fond of. Remember that his strongest demo were housewives. They will not be as forgiving as some here.

Peace

Euan Roberts

23rd July 2002, 01:22

I hope we can put this thread to rest. My only points were that i felt very strongly about this individual Greg Gaughran returning to radio so soon given his previous past. Let me just say as a person that has worked as a Disc Jockey, Greg Gaughran was and still is an excellent Jock. Just for the record my only bone of contention and very serious reservation was why Greg Gaughran was been defended and supported by so many anoraks to this thread despite his past wife-beating charges. That infuriated me. I for one has never and would never lay my hands on a woman an physical abuse her. I have respect for women full stop. I wonder do those same anoraks that have defended Greg in their posts have any conscience or morals concerning "Wife Beating"

I sincerely hope Greg's wife is receiving the appropiate treatment and therapy to rehabiliate her back into some kind of normality. However,i still stand by be original comment and that this man should of served some time in prision to make him realise a man cannot beat his wife and get away with it. Seeing as though, he won't be serving time now, he should be receiving serious conscelling and professional treatment for what he has done. Radio does'nt need people like that until they have become rehabilated. It's just not right.

Finally Anorak, regarding your point about East Coast Radio, i occasionally listen to that station. In relation to that station employing Greg, i believe their actions are done to boost listenership figures and for the station to have more high-profile personalities[. I guess since they have decided to employ him next month, i would think they will live to regret their unwise decsion.

OK, Euan, let me make a few things clear.
1. NOT ONCE have I bullied you on this forum, and I think you've got some nerve to claim so.
In fact, I seem to remember giving you some friendly advice recently on what steps you should take to deter further barrages of insults. You abviously didn't take heed.
Your biggest problem Euan, and John Fleming has pointed this out to you before, is that when folks don't agree with you, you tend to lose the rag and claim that everyone has a vendetta against you.
This is a discussion forum, where everyone has different opinions, and where we are free to debate (within reason) these differences of opinion.
Not everyone agrees with everything I say, but you don't see me losing my temper and whinging like a spoiled child because I'm not getting my own way.
If you can't debate, or even argue, in a mature fashion, then don't.

2. I NEVER said that what Greg did was trivial.
It was a despicable act, but he's paid the price.
I don't know Greg, in fact I've never met the guy. But I DO know enough people who have made terrible mistakes before (some worse than this), and have taken their punishment, admitted they were wrong but put all their energy back in to rehabilitating themselves. There's enough unrepentant scumbags in this country without having to add more, and when I see someone making a genuine effort to get themselves back on track then It's only fair that I give them a little respect.

You don't have to endure anyone on the radio. I'm assuming you can receive other frequencies on your radio. If so, change the channel.

Dogger

23rd July 2002, 11:57

Having also worked in 104 for a number of years, maybe I will have to classify myself as "one of the boys" as myself and GG got on well together and had many fun nights on the tear. But I still don't condone what he did, in fact I was revolted when the news broke. My contention that what he did was totally out of character is purely from what I had seen and knew about him, I never saw him even raise his voice to a woman and if I had I would have stepped in and then probably cut all ties with him.

If I'm wrong, then no-one in 104 was talking about him at that time so no information reached my ears. Maybe that all started after I had moved on? Or was I not trusted to keep schtum? Who knows? (enough questions already! - Ed)

However, let the man now get on with his life, he knows damn well that wherever he goes for the rest of his life he'll be known as a wife-beater, and that sobriquet should not be forgotten. But he also has the right to earn a living and if there are radio stations willing to employ him, than all to the good.

Euan Roberts

24th July 2002, 01:19

Vinylpusher,

To respond to your post concerning my assertion that i was bullied by you on this forum, i apologise to you. Your right you did give me that advice sometime ago having checked back on printed copies of previous posts. I guess it was overlooked. In addition, I didn't take as much heed as one would of liked. Your also right, concerning my tendancy to act a little childish regarding reactions from other people. i felt strongly about this subject and felt under pressure to react to the backlash of other anoraks concerning the subject of Greg Gaughran. I got a little carried away.

Good Luck

Euan

Dane Bowers

24th July 2002, 13:17

Much as I don't agree with Euan's approach to the Greg Gaughran issue, I do agree that the man shouldn't be on the radio.

I've already given my own personal sentiments on the matter in the previous thread about this so I won't bore anybody with them again.

All I'm saying is that Euan obviously feels strongly on the issue of domestic violence, as do other people. I think people should respect that rather than attack him over his beliefs and principles.

In saying that, I don't really think he should be so personal in the way he words his posts as far as other people on this board are concerned.

Anyway I'm really just saying that some of what Euan said makes sense but I don't think he really has the right to attack Kelly or Turiel just because what they believe is different

I think this is one of these never ending arguements and people either agree or disagree...thats it.

Anorak

24th July 2002, 18:10

Dane,

As stated above, I think absolutely everybody here agrees that what GG did was wrong. What is actually at issue is whether he is entitled to be served by the same justice system as the rest of us. He is, of course, and has stood for trial and is surely now, like anybody else, entitled to get on with his life and do what he does best.

None of us knows what his wife now feels and what has gone on behind the scenes (has he apologised? has she accepted that apology?) so surely it's best to let it lie? Don't tune into East Coast if you object that strongly. If enough people agree with you, he'll soon be dropped.

I personally have a problem with known murderers taking positions of power and government on this island, but they were voted in and that has to be respected. Likewise this issue.

As regards Euan. He brings on all his own problems.

Megawatts

24th July 2002, 19:31

We have a court system, which issues penalties, as determined by the Judicial System,. Once issued,and served its paid.

Dirty Den was done for Murder, and served his dues.

People do wrong, they pay, then get on with the rest of their lives.

Others would seem to be higher than the Judicial System, and expect people to pay for life.

People have to live, let them get on with it.

If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Judicial System.

In this place you can bomb, murder steal, launder, and get off with a cheque and hand shake. But have a nasty "domestic" and its LIFE mate. (Yes it was very nasty, but time is paid, its time to move on). (But don't let happen again.)

Anorak,

As regards Euan. He brings on all his own problems, as posted by Anorak

That was really a helpful comment to make. All i've done is put my opinions on the table so people can pick and choose which ones they like and don't like. Okay, I sometimes overreact but so does 99% of the Irish Population now and again. Anorak, at least i don't use bad language to make my point unlike "IF only you knew"'s post which was removed due to his bad temper. So Anorak, i don't think it's fair to suggest i bring all my own problems on all the time. Be fair for God's sake.

On the true subject of this thread: I found it strange listening to Greg Gaughren recently but I am glad to hear him back on air. I trust that if his wife has any objections, we'll hear about it via the newspapers.

Euan, you want to know the problem I, and I suspect others have with you?
You have turned this thread about one of Ireland's greatest ever broadcasters, and his domestic violence against his wife, and whether he should be allowed back on air...you've taken a thread of that importance...AND MADE IT ABOUT YOURSELF. Not for the first time either. I think Kelly hit the nail on the head. I open a post from you in equal measures of dread and expectation. You have been inspired at times, but your rantings ruin it so often. Calm down and THINK before you type.

I'm told he's still considering his options - but has been offered the gig!

got to hear him for the first time last monday .
most dj's would agree it's how we would all love radio jocks to be , intelligent , funny at the right time ,a voice to kill for , slick ,and a brilliant personality ..........
radio 1 gets the boot when he's on ...and as Katy Lied would say ......absolutely f***** ace .

Greg Gaughran should not be on East Coast Radio. He is doing radio a disservice and he knows that himself. I gotta Say no other radio station would touch him because they know he is a liablity.

No I'm just pointing out a few home- truths that you staying alive like to defend. Is Greg paying you or something to defend his actions. My oh my. I rest my case on this one.

Euan,

For fux sake man, I'm an easy-going kind of guy but you're sending me into a rage now. How many more times do people need to point out to you that enjoying and listening to Greg Gaughran back on the air does NOT equate to condoning what he did. You have made your point here over and over, we know what it is, you don't have to add it to EVERY thread that comes up about Greg Gaughran. This thread has NOTHING to do with what he did, just a few comments on his shows. Go add to the other thread that you hijacked if you want to cotinue to spout.

Note to admin: Isn't there something in the rules about repitition of posts? If not, can you add it!

Note to everybody: In your profile there's an IGNORE section. I'm about to add Euan to it.

I have heard Greg on a few times in the afternoon slot, but I couldn't listen for long so I can't say whether it's permanent or a filler.

Likewise, i have just activated my button to ignore all the above hostile anoraks that they are attempting to stop me from posting replies. Stop acting like small children, and stop annoying me. Now you know how i feel because of all your personal attacks on me as result of all your previous posts.

Hi Rodge, Staying Alive, Kelly J., Anorak, P. Press and Jim Bob!(I want to be ignored too, please?)

As far as I know, Greg is on East Coast Drive 4.00/8.00pm Monday to Friday and seems to be doing a Saturday daytime show (according to the web-site) and sounding really smooth.

Can i add my voice to the many here who are just glad to hear talent such as Greg's back on the air.

This is what i know (thanks Chris), but i am trying to find out more...

Greg started off doing weekends and since then he has been doing semi-regular fill-ins on the daytime shifts. This included lunchtimes for most of June covering for Joe Harrington.

He has been on Drivetime (4pm-8pm) since Dave Redmond returned to South East...whether this is permanent is yet to be confirmed.
