Is Parkinson's one worth paying for? I used to enjoy his GAA Hour one a few years back.

Devenney had him on last week on his Donegal podcast and gave him a chance to push it. From the sounds of it Devenney is one of Parkinson's regular guests, along with Aaron Kernan (who also comes on Devenney's one a couple of times each season).

Personally I'd say yes. Devenney is a great character and Aaron Kernan is also an excellent pundit. Cian Ward and Conan Doherty do be on as guests as well and both are very good too. There are loads of shows during peak season (more than you could actually listen to) and if you want hurling there are previews and reviews weekly also. I think its very good value for £5/month.

On the RON incident, McGinley said rabbit punch or punches were used* but McConville said he must have x-ray vision as there is no evidence of it. Both are pundits I respect a lot so just wondering who is correct?

*full disclosure I didn't see the Sunday Game so am basing this from what I heard on BBC GAA Social podcast.

I'll try it out so!

Oisin was a wee bit bitter on it I thought. RON overstepped the mark and was highlighted throwing a dig. McGinley even said that Tyrone should have had a man black carded in same incident. McConville should have played it with a straight bat, "there's learnings from the game and I'm sure Rian will grow going forward".

I listen to The Football Pod, RTE and the GAA social podcasts. I subscribed to the Smaller Fish one last week and I find it much more insightful than the other 3.  Wooly and the guests (generally) just seem to be more knowledgable on football and be willing to give views that are beyond the normal run of the mill.

He failed to mention the knee to the head. I thought Niblock was a bit weak in his questioning too and didnt really challenge McConvilles ridiculous narrative that Rian needs protected.

What does Rian need protected from?!
Do people not need defending from Rian?

It's a real weakness with some pundits. And they just come across as stupid c*nts when they do it. We've seen it with Henry Shefflin when Richie Hogan was sent off in the AIF and Shane Dowling was at the same shite over a Limerick incident as well. Just play it straight. You look like a bitter shithead when you don't.

Just to re-state what I posted before on Wooly/Smaller Fish/Gaa Hour:

What grates with me about Wooly's show (at least when he was with The GAA Hour) is that he always had guests who agreed with every word he said on any topic. There never was any sort of two sided debate to be had on anything.

I recall when the debate was raging about the upcoming vote on championship restructuring a while back, and when everyone was pushing 'Proposal B' Cahair O'Kane was a guest on Off the Ball, and he was actually arguing against the ratification of Proposal B - saying that as a proposal, it was 'almost' spot on but that we shouldn't settle for 'almost' and that it will be generations before it will ever be revisited, so it needs to be done right. He made a great argument, and the debate between him and the presenter who was in favour of Proposal B was properly interesting. It was a proper delve into the pros and cons of Proposal B.

Then I listened to The GAA Hour. Wooly went on one of his lengthy rants about how stupid it would be to not back Proposal B, then threw out a few personal digs at people who were opposing it, then he brought on his guest Conor Henehan and the two of them spent the guts of a half hour or more agreeing with eachother and making the same points. No debate whatsoever. It was just tedious stuff.

Haven't listened to his new show, because I can't imagine it being any different.

Anyone care to shed any light on whether Smaller Fish is more of the same "yes I agree with you Wooly" as was on GAA Hour? Or is there actually a bit of debate thrown in?

Some of the panel regulary pulls him up on things apart from Conan. Wooly is a marmite type person but his podcast is superior to all the others. I wouldn't miss it where the other ones I can take them or leave them. I find Aaron Kernan excellent on the show as well.

So you don't get enough shite from the match chat before the games, at half time and at the end plus TSG that ye are paying for other people to talk shite and listen to hard luck stories? Its like people buying water ffs!

Worlds gone nuts I tell ya

Not sure what will be new from the Laochra Gael last year but Niblock keeps saying how "powerful" it is
