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.

[@adidasallstarsofficialfoot9956]

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

[@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🇮🇪

[@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

[@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.👏

[@MarleyThirteen]

This was a great watch! 👏🏻

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@tompopham5676]

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

[@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.

[@COYBIG1967]

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.

[@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 .

[@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!

[@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 👏

[@StevieDCC]

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

[@benarcher7411]

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

[@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.

[@COYBIG1967]

“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 ✌️😊

[@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.

[@JamesyWaddell]

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

[@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 👏🏻

[@essbee59]

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

[@ryanharrison1116]

Genuinely had a tear in my eye in the last few minutes of that podcast. I had the pleasure of bumping into Si on Friday and got the opportunity to thank him for getting me through lovkdown. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Just wished I gave him a hug. Keep up the good work lads you, you are making a difference by being your true selves!

[@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 👏

[@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 😉😂

[@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.

[@scarlettpimpernel4130]

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

[@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

[@gary8032]

Mr Ferry,I am a life long blue nose and would just like to say well done all of you for being so honest about your circumstances and I wish you and all the others the very best in the future.Just normal people,humble,honest and up fer some banter -Brilliant.

[@JamesyWaddell]

Cant agree more. Im a Celtic fan but "HALLIDAY ..ANDY HALLIDAYYYYY' is just class on the show man.

[@iamyou1896]

Nearly in tears listening to you there mate well played, top guy you are bro 👏

[@bigpofty]

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

[@jamiehagen4034]

Absolutely brilliant documentary. A night I'll never forget, amazing! Well done to everyone involved.

[@euandonohue5983]

Easily the best football podcast out there! Have been watching right from the start. The 1-1s, bringing Slaney and Kyle on was a master stroke from Si. Keep up the great work lads 👏👏

[@dylancarral5958]

Absolutely delighted for si eh always a happy go lucky guy, you never know what goes on in the background. Top guys all off them even Kev and Andy. (Hibs fan)

[@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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@chrisgarden5472]

I’ve watched the interviews on KZbin for a few years now. I live in Dubai and couldnt be at the Hydro, this was great to sit and watch. Well done to all involved. 👏🏻

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

Just thinking back to when it was only started as a joke about open goal playing to 10k people at the hydro lol it's fucking amazing how far this channel has grown..I watched this for years and to see it now is bloody brilliant guys

[@philipturner3351]

Best football pod cast in UK!

[@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

[@johno166]

Unreal man this was amazing! Deserve all the success you lads get. Watching open goal during lockdowns got me through some tough times.

[@ghhhj6534]

Proud of everyone all the way from London been watching since the first interview with Kevin 💪💪

[@fallmonk]

Loved this insight to the show, brutally honest as always, thanks for making life just that bit better especially over the last 2yrs. Even as a celtic supporter I hope you can get McCoist on for the next one ,his interview was one of my favourite and he's always good value.

[@garyanderson6078]

SI FERRY hold your head up high mate,WHAT A GUY . Kevin,Slaney and Andy too ,awesome. The job you guys have done bringing a down to earth "jumpers for goalposts" insight into football is UNBELIEVABLE. You guys deserve all the plaudits you get ,Hampden could be another record breaker . A MASSIVE WELL DONE SO FAR.

[@garethwhittingham6350]

Deserve every bit of success. Si is a natural and people instantly feel relaxed with him. Actually prefer him doing the 121 interviews but this is fantastic. Love how honest he’s been and shows what most normal people can relate to. Goes through hard times but doesn’t give up and makes the most of the opportunity. Good luck to them.

[@Lad-hs2sn]

This is class, way the troops went from working jobs and struggling to get by to where they are now, quality stuff lads and well deserved, LEGENDS

[@barrymoir1778]

Just watching in from Dubai, Scot working here, very proud moment for you all, terrific achievement. Bring your show out here !

[@TehGilmourr]

All the lads should feel so proud of what they've done. Best football and life chat out there

[@conroytalks5487]

This actually brilliant idea to show the other side of the show, they all have done incredible👍

[@paulgal]

This documentary is inspirational and a mean that. So glad these guys are all doing well now they deserve it. 💪🏼

[@super86256]

I stumbled across this podcast just before the euros and never looked back. I'm english and don't really follow any football no more but love the lads together real proper chemistry. This and undr the cosh brighten my week up. Well done lads deserve everything you get top work.

[@georgemcdermott9657]

ex-pat Scot & Celtic fan here...totally enjoyed this..it's exactly how it should be..total opposites of the divide (the Auld (not Old) Firm) really enjoying each others company...BIG Kevin Kyle and Andy Halliday total legends....and those blasts from the past: Graveson and McAvennie (must admit (my apologies) but I didn't know who the Derek was)......to all Auld Firm fans, this is how it SHOULD be..we are, after all, just human beings eking out a meaningful life...oh and aye, Ange re-sign Charlie we need him!!

[@seanj9213]

Love it mate. What a man. Hasta victoria siempre 💚

[@laughatfootball]

That’s incredible. the whole is equal to the sum of its parts, neither more nor less. From the idea to even this KZbin video it’s all been amazing. The secret is that the presenters are all relatable , we all played a bit of football and we all had shit jobs, these guys were better than us at football. Fundamentally they are just us. Great work lads.

[@binmanbeenyetman7034]

Sheer class lads , well deserved !! Some shout from yer mate who phoned ya about starting a podcast , legend !

[@krismorrice1870]

[@paulmca9731]

Just watched the opening few minutes and I was nervous AF just watching it. You deserve all the plaudits that will continue to come your ways guys. Love the show.

[@nickyb1967]

Massive well done to all the boys that have made this phenomenon happen. Great hearing about how it all came about. Si, you're a great guy, thanks for all the laughs 🍀

[@craigstewart9079]

This is fkin brilliant, wish I was there but a great watch. Loved the doc going back to the start and hearing Si open up about his struggles and then to put on the biggest live podcast ever is something else.

[@mauriceperry2165]

Great stuff guys. Found the channel because of the early Big Kev interview, then gradually saw more Sunderland related interviews on it and as a result ended up watching more videos and stuck with it. Can't always understand some of the accents mind! Keep up the good work its been great journey so far.

[@tommyburns8762]

[@barryanderson1484]

Outstanding young man yous guys have absolutely smashed it over the last few years

[@grahamkennedy4693]

Another smashing watch. Loved hearing the Rags to Riches background of Si, Kev, Slaney and even Andy Halliday to a degree when he had no club. Add in half cut Derek and Franky Bhoy to go with Charlie Mulgrew and mad dog Graveson and you have a great nights entertainment. Love watching the weekly Podcasts, the right in the coupon show and the interviews with Si. Proud of what the guys have achieved together.

[@westernegg]

Absolutely brilliant showing how you all got here. Makes us fans all the more made up for everyone involved with the show. The dinosaurs in SFA should be paying you for the content you put out for the Scottish game.

[@scozander]

Outstanding. What a performance.
