There are so many different perspectives to Mayo's All-Ireland victory and so many fascinating stories to be told.James Carr from Ardagh is one of the members of the Mayo squad who ticks both of those boxes, being the first man from his club to wear the Green and Red at senior level and the only player from a Junior club to win a Celtic Cross last Sunday week.

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.Here, former Dublin player and manager Jim Gavin sits down with Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy for his first interview since his ill-fated presidential campaign.The eight-time All-Ireland winner opens up on where his resilience really came from — the Air Corps, learning to respond rather than react, and how those lessons carried into dressing rooms and big days.Gavin also reflects on the “chaotic” years as a Dublin player, his early coaching path, and how close he came to the senior job in 2008.Plus, his take on the new football rules: blanket defences, the 40-metre arc, the hooter, and making the game more watchable.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join

Mayo have been denied in All Irelands in every way possible - balls bouncing over the bar, the referee blowing up early, own goals... they've also taken a few pastings along the way, but what will they do with the freedom they will have on Sunday?Somehow Mayo have reached an All Ireland final this year against all odds, but does that make this year different? Does everything change because it would be one of the most stunning shocks in history if Kerry lost? Does that give Mayo a freedom they've never had before or will it make no difference?On Free State today, we look at the lengths some teams go to win and the ways some find to lose. Does luck play a part when you lose by a point or is it about something more.Joe explains too why he will have a Mayo jersey with him on Sunday and why he hopes that finally the curse is ended.
