MORNING PAPERS: Give Amorim time, Ireland hope vs cynicism & NFL kicking challenge | OFF THE BALL BREAKFAST

Ger Gilroy, Colm Boohig, Arthur O'Dea and Dara Smith-Naughton were on hand to run through all the morning's big sports stories on Thursday's Off The Ball Breakfast.

With Manchester United's minority owner Jim Ratcliffe giving Ruben Amorim a very definitive vote of confidence, the lads considered whether the club are as well sticking with the Portuguese - or if it is all just talk.

On that note, Ireland travel to Portugal this weekend for a hopeless-looking World Cup qualifier. The lads debated what success would look like from an Irish point of view.

Finally, some of the lads have been out doing an NFL-style kicking challenge recently - Dara brought us the results!
