Highlights From Off The Ball

The merry-go-round of hosts continues, but thankfully for everyone involved Johnny Ward was late for casting, so Mick McCarthy has valiantly stepped in to take his place as host of this week's quiz (or was it his ego that planned this all along?) Unfortunately, Will 'Larry Birr' O’Callaghan & Nathan 'Black Sox' Murphy have both served out their one-week bans, meaning they make their not so glorious returns to the Quiz, with Shane 'The Monaghan Machete' Hannon slipping into studio just at the last minute.
