Welcome to the second installment of The Week on Off The Ball, a weekly listen back at some of our favourite pieces from right across the week that was.
Eoin Sheahan and David Wilson were on hand this time out and had plenty to dig into!
Firstly, former Chairman of the FIFA Governance Committee, Miguel Maduro, joined us in studio this week. He gave his opinion on UEFA’s response to FIFA’s latest struggles.
We started a new series on Off The Ball this week, where we take a deep dive into a particular subject. We kicked it off by looking at one of the most dominant sportspeople we do not know enough about – Tadej Pogačar – with Professor Gregor Starc from the University of Ljubljana, Pogačar’s biographer Andy McGrath and the former professional cyclist, Nicolas Roche.
Denise O'Sullivan appeared on The COYGIG Pod, where she opened up about the struggles that motivated her to leave Liverpool and return to the States after just 6 months.
And finally, If you haven’t heard by now, A Slight Tangent is back up and running on Off The Ball every single week! Get your emails in at aslighttanget@offtheball.com now!

For a last episode of Word on the Street for a few months, Susanna brings you a brilliant chat with Irish athletics legend David Gillick, fresh back from Birmingham and the unforgettable week for Irish track and field.
Gillick reflects on the sea of Irish fans, the moments that defined the championships, and why the real story goes deeper than medals — from top-10 finishes to the team culture driving the next generation.
He also dives into Rhasidat Adeleke’s future across 200m and 400m, the impact of injuries, and the parallels with his own tough spell in the States.
Plus, a quick note from Susanna on what’s next for Word on the Street!
Thank you all for listening over the past year,
Susanna, Rachel, Eve & Bronagh
