Tonight's Off the Ball comes to you live from Westport

With less than three days until the tantalising prospect of Mayo v Kerry in an All-Ireland semi-final, we've decided to travel all the way to the home of the green and red jerseys for a special Off the Ball Roadshow sponsored by Liberty Insurance.

Broadcasting live from Knockranny House Hotel in Westport, we'll be joined by former Mayo footballer David Brady who, as a Mayo man, has experienced the rare enjoyment of lifting Silverware in the Hogan Stand, winning a Club All-Ireland with Ballina in 2005. However, he is perhaps most famous for a pledge he once made, saying "I’d wear a pink g-string if Mayo were to win the All-Ireland."

Brady won't be alone in the on-air Mayo corner, though, with former All-Star footballer Liam McHale getting into the mix for some thoughtful analysis ahead of Sunday's tie. The 1996 All-Ireland final replay won't be a topic of discussion. He hopes.

Billy Joe Padden completes the Mayo GAA lineup and his Armagh connections should be enough to get the Kerry blood boiling in any pre-match discussion.

It would be amiss of us to authorise a lop-sided guestlist, of course, so Kerry will have a pair of All-Ireland winners in the house as they brave a frosty atmosphere in Westport. Tomás Ó Sé and Killian Burns are the two on the show - both of whom have won All-Ireland finals against Mayo. We can promise nothing when it comes to pair's survival in Westport this evening.

Finally, we are delighted to be welcoming Kevin Moran to the show this evening, too. He may have played in a World Cup and made over 200 appearances for Manchester United, but we reckon the home crowd are most envious of his pair of All-Ireland medals with Dublin. 

So that's three Mayo men, a pair of Kerry men and a Dub. Things could get interesting.

Join us from 7-10pm and if you miss any of tonight's show, you can catch it on-demand on iTunes or Newstalk.ie.
