Join Shane Hannon, Keith Treacy, and Dara Smith-Naughton as they talk through some of the morning's biggest sporting stories, including updates on the Australian Open semi-final between Alcaraz and Zverev, debating the new Champions League format, and remembering iconic goalkeeper goals.
Off The Ball Breakfast every weekday from 7:30AM

Happy Thursday folks, we have a bit of a special episode for you today! In light of Katie Taylor’s comments about her desire to play Croke Park and the acknowledgement that were she a male fighter, she’d be a multi-multi-millionaire by now, the Word On The Street crew looked into the gender pay gap in sport, with a particular focus on tennis as an example of a sport where active change has been made. We chat to Racquet magazine co-founder Caitlin Thompson about Billie Jean King’s legacy, best of 3 v best of 5, and much more!
