The title alone, The remarkable Sambo McNaughton 🤦‍♂️

Very trope-ish and a self parody at this stage.

If every episode and guest is as phenomenal and unique as Tom suggests when are they gonna fall into the normal range or is he just totally off the spectrum?

Tagline seems to be we do things different on this pod, which long story short amounts to taking Ask Oisin questions from Twitter.

There is a definite bi-polar element to it, as with the media in general

I assume Niblock is going for some podcast award with all the misery porn "powerful" episodes

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?

Cian disagreed with him on Sunday night's episode around Wooly's desire to change the rules to keep 6 men inside both 45s.

Wooly just seems to be "smarter" than the other podcasts, ie he actually does a bit of thinking about the game as opposed to doing the lame Sunday Game type analysis that seems to be par for the course.  Even if you don't agree with what he says it's obvious that he does think about the game.

He does think about it. But he's right and you're wrong. I can't have him. And looks like he needs a f**king bath.

Nothing wrong with having a joke, try and make if funny at least!

Wooly has his opinion and stands by it. He is up for a debate and can come around to the others opinion. I find his podcast a great listen and the best of the bunch

Ronnie O'Sullivan worth a listen to on Desert Island Discs. Still idolised the da and he talks openly about his murder conviction but nobody seems to ask him about the victim and if it impacted their relationship. I wonder does he embargo it. Anyway worth a listen.

Sambo one was good on GAA Social.

[03,05,08]

How good was sambo? Would he have matched up against his southern counterparts?

For sure, but most of the players on that team were good enough, unfortunately the gap started then to become wider and we couldn't keep up
