    THE BRAWL: 30 years on from that iconic All-Ireland final between Meath and Mayo

    The Classic was a podcast from Off The Ball, digging into the real-life drama behind some of sport’s most fascinating stories. In episode 1, The Brawl, revisits the infamous 1996 All-Ireland football final and replay between Mayo and Meath — the “one in a million” bounce that forced a second day in Croke Park, and the 130 seconds of chaos that became one of the most controversial moments in GAA history.

    Sounds of the Summer: The Kerry perspective, and where did it all go wrong? | Darran O'Sullivan

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next. In this episode, former All-Ireland winner Darran O’Sullivan joins Eoin Sheahan in the aftermath of Kerry’s All-Ireland final defeat to Mayo, to dig into why the Kingdom looked flat when it mattered most. From the impact of the condensed calendar and the lack of training time, to injuries, selection calls, and how Mayo’s bravery and tactical plan exposed Kerry’s slower, choreographed approach, O’Sullivan gives a frank view from inside Kerry — and pushes back on the idea that club football is the real problem.

    Sounds of the Summer: Polishing the 'new' rules and what comes next? | Kevin McStay

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next for Gaelic football. In this episode, Eoin Sheahan is joined by former Roscommon and Mayo manager Kevin McStay, now heading up the Gaelic football expert advisory group tasked with monitoring the impact of the Football Review Committee’s work. McStay explains how the group is using match footage and data to “polish” the new rules, from the hooter/clock rollout and anomalies around scoring, to a possible four-point goal, a backcourt rule to curb lateral play, and what referee assistance could realistically look like without turning football into VAR.
