Quote from: tiempo on May 02, 2024, 09:51:18 AMThe level of self-agrandising by Tommy Nibs leads me to think he's gone full parody and is only saying 'most powerful yet' on a weekly basis as an in-joke/piss take. Does grate at times, trying to sound nuanced with phrases like 'the modern GAA calendar'To be fair these are some incredibly powerful human interest stories from ordinary enough GAA people that are extremely life affirming. To give Niblock credit he has created a format where these stories are being told very very well and sympathetically.
While the Wednesday ones are often personal in nature, they almost always demonstrate much of what is good about the GAA's role in the community. The Colin Bell one was particularly good.
Yes, he promotes it very strongly and he has a particular schtick, but it's fairly inoffensive unless you're easily annoyed.
