Was good to hear si open up about the hard times. Deserves all the success has worked hard to build open goal up from nothing

[@paulkerr2654]

I swear these boys are due a lot credit for the national team's success. They've shown that footballers in Scotland are human and it's meant as fans we're behind them more. As shite as football may be at times in Scotland, these lads have made it fun again. If we get to the world Cup next year, these boys deserve some of the credit too.

[@boselecta6703]

This podcast got me through horrible times over the last few years, like a lot of us we struggled through COVID but yous 4 definitely made it easier. Thanks lads and keep up the good work from Ireland🇮🇪

[@adidasallstarsofficialfoot9956]

As a die hard Tim it's got to be said.... Andy halliday brilliant guy n doin so much for the podcast 👍

[@colinmoffat3215]

Amazing how you can feel pride for someone you have never met,kevin Kyle should be proud of himself the guy's a grafter doing what needed to be done for his family.👏

[@timk123]

I'm an Aussie. I've always loved my football, Strictly the English Premiership and nothing else. This podcast has got my obsession with the Scottish game at an all time high! Not to mention your lingo as well! Love your work guys, keep em coming. You've got a huge following down under by the way. Guess you didn't think that was the case! Keep it up boys! Love from Australia

[@MarleyThirteen]

This was a great watch! 👏🏻

[@W.A.T.P...55]

Just watched the first 10 mins there and I had to stop to write this..Simon ferry well done fella,, massive respect for you for the small life story you just told there ..I wish you all the success in the world Simon.. good luck mate

[@Danstraightedge]

As an English fan of Scottish football Im so glad I found this show. The first one I ever saw was the Charlie Mulgrew episode with the velvet suit. Just brilliant every week. So happy for them all.

[@JamesyWaddell]

FUKIN TEARS RUNNIN DOON MA FACE LADS!!........AMAZIN ' Im a Celtic fan ...but ..."HALLIDAY ANDY HALLIDAAYYYYY!!" BRILLIANT..

[@rangers..2943]

Think we can all truly say this podcast is one of the best things to happen for Scottish football. The lads have helped every single one of us through these hard times. Long may it continue boys👌💯

[@JamMasterG89]

Ooft I went through every second of that wi the nerves at the start for you boys. Fair play man 👏

[@steviec2595]

Same a was shaking like a shitting dug at that start but 😂😂

[@tompopham5676]

This is fucking brilliant. Great journey lads, so we’ll deserved for all of you lads 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stephenglancy8551]

These guys manage to cross the Glasgow divide. I love Celtic but I also think that Andy and Derek are different class........ tin hat on 😉😂

[@alexanderanderson8837]

Mad how proud you can feel of people you’ve never met. Have watched since the Kevin Thomson episode. Brilliant to see good guys succeed after working so hard

[@johnw2019]

Genuinely love the podcast, it's the only coverage of football I actually watch. You've humanized players that weve seen ad panto villains fir 20 years, as a Tim the Alex Rae and Walter Smith interviews were a fascinating look behind that curtain for someone like me. You boys are a service to the scottish game!

[@benarcher7411]

Never a bad show with these lads 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@daviddalziel884]

Started clocking in around the time of Andy’s marathon interview with Simon and been a fan ever since . They’ve all had their ups and downs but what shines through is the same as every punter at the Hydro and beyond is a love for the game .

[@robbannatyne7593]

It's amazing to see the success of Open Goal and how it's been so life changing for Si, Slaney & Big Kev. Pure Class.

[@Anthonys_S]

That was actually quite emotional at the start hearing si talk about how his career had quite quickly went down hill , ending up doing kitchens , put weight on and even had become an angry person, we all knew about his injuries and I’ve always felt for him with that, he was a very promising footballer , he is a good footballer and has had a good career but he probably would admit he’s not done as well as he could . For him to take the chances he’s explained here was big and very brave. Personally I love the show , love the interviews especially and I’m happy they have stuck with that alongside other stuff .they all bring something to the show and si leads it all very well , it all gels perfectly. Well done to them all. So proud of you si, you deserve so much success mate. Keep going , take it all as smoothly as you have done and this can get bigger and bigger. Ps you’ve also got me through the pandemic and some real down times and for that I truly thank you . Wishing your and all the boys and all your families a happy and healthy Christmas and peaceful new year.

[@Anthonys_S]

“Cheers lads thanks for the help” that’s nice to hear, si thanking the back stage workers and security , the lads and especially si all deserve so so much credit , slaney too in different ways as I genuinely think this must be tough at times for him, he can be very shy and introverted and has struggled with depression etc . Just so happy for and proud of you all lads ✌️😊

[@Boabywankenobi]

Love the wreckless honesty from Si about where his life was at the time of this coming out. I was all in from the Charlie Mulgrew original interviews, great to see how the show has grown from there. It's all about Si, well done, Si-r!

[@jimjamjac]

I’m now living in Melbourne the most locked down city. These guys helped get me through it with hours of watchable fresh content. Well done 👏🏻

[@bhoybar]

The podcasts show u the man behind the footballer growing up the amount of rangers players I couldn't stand because they played for rangers or how they were on the pitch. Watching these podcast have shown these guys have got real lifes and feelings and not just a face u see on the telly on a Saturday. Showing whats behind the charachters so to speak and 4 lads who havent forgot where they came from I think that's what makes the podcast extra special.

[@picklerick7872]

Good to see a different side of Si on this away from all the banter. Seems like a class guy and he's clearly a funny guy as his weekly podcasts show.

[@bigpofty]

Superb watch man. Yous boys are an absolute staple in Scottish football, absolute class 💪

[@scarlettpimpernel4130]

I love you boys, but I love big Kev and his honesty....you are all good men

[@jamesliken1283]

The raw honesty from everyone involved is what makes these guys so relatable. They deserve every success afforded to them. They’ve inspired the normal hard working man and woman on the street to realise it’s never over, you can come back. Four absolute inspirational gentlemen! Well done.

[@essbee59]

The end of the this when Si is on about how happy you’s all were, unreal boys 🥰

[@Sonnie125]

You guys feel like family now , we have all seen you grow from the very start … Amazing chemistry between everyone , and much praise must go to the producer for having the original ideas . Probably doesn’t get enough credit being out of the limelight .. Congratulations lads you deserve all the plaudits 👏

[@mog1690]

I’ve watched this 4 times now and loved it each time! I’m absolutely chuffed to bits for yous all for the success of open goal. Well done Si, Slaney, Kevin, Andy, Derek, Frank & of course huge kudos to the producer with the original idea that approached Si. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dg-bd1hj]

Been waiting on this like the weans waiting on santa haha. Only 1.27 in and walking out to that. You lads must have felt like the dogs bollocks. Fkn love it open goal live at the hydro smashing it up like its nothing. Take a bow lads thats how wee roll on here

[@scottishdb]

what a night it was as well lads from being a fan of the podcast to seeing you on the stage from start to end was a laugh. Well done to you all. Last min of this video to hear Si say how proud of his boys he is, is testament to why the podcast is flying and you are doing so well, he cares and is passionate of what he is doing. Brilliant

[@hud316hooversutube]

That was a great watch to see some of the behind the scenes stuff, have listened to the podcast since it started and continue to do so, don't ever change and keep up the good work

[@johno166]
