2026 Gaelic football All-Stars are HERE! + Statham replacing Carrick!? | Thursday’s Papers | OFF THE BALL BREAKFAST

It’s a packed Off The Ball Breakfast as Meghann Scully, Enda Coll, Matthew Brennan & Dara Smith-Naughton react to the Gaelic football All-Stars: Mayo lead the way with six, there’s a long-overdue Westmeath pick, and plenty of debate over inclusions, omissions, and whether the team should be announced on the night.

Then it’s over to a chaotic EFL Cup evening: Liverpool edge Chelsea on penalties, City squeeze past Brighton, and Arsenal’s shock loss to Fleetwood sparks a proper chat about Arteta, young players, and that red card moment.

Plus: should football scrap extra time altogether, and what next for James McClean after his Derry City exit?
