“Podcast that I listen to in order to pass the time. Nothing great about it. On a serious note the podcast is great to catch up on the show when it’s always moved from regular 12noon slot due to live broadcasts…”

“The funniest thing about this drivel is that people still refer to this tired , unfunny pair as comedians .. the fact that some refer to them as ‘witty ‘ and ‘ intelligent ‘ truly beggars belief”

“Pretty much obligatory if you love to hear the voices, insights and culture of your ain folk.
Has become a modern Scottish shibboleth. If you don’t love Off the Ball, are you a true Scot? (Says the man who wears underpants under his kilt.)”

“Fantastic you can listen live at midnight in Australia on BBC Scotland on digital radio or BBC sounds and if you miss it you can listen to the podcast. Wish I had known about these guys years ago. I don’t sleep well and with a set of headphones don’t wake she who don’t like to be disturbed.”

“Off the Ball has remained funny and relevant for over 25 years and long may it broadcast! I have listened for most of those years but it has been a godsend during the pandemic and for an ex pat in London. Keep up the good work guys.”

“Sorry guys
But we know the deal now.
I switch on to give my old boy some light relief from the fact he’s been locked down for months ,bad enough he is ill.
The last thing we want is reminding of the pain.
Stick to football and laughs.”

“Unique Scottish football based tomfoolery with a distinct bias towards the “diddy-teams” with regular tongue in cheek digs at “non-diddy- teams”.
Don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy this, but it helps.”

“The first time I head Off the Ball was “a real JFK moment” (Thanks, Tam). I still tell people the joke about the blacksmith asking the boy, “Have ya never shoed a horse before?” That was in the autumn of 2006 and I’ve rarely missed a show since then.
Stuart and Tam have that magic ability to...”Read full review »

“I reckon Tam Cowan is the most underrated broadcaster of his generation. I would love to see a revival of his much lamented telly show. Quick witted, self-depricating and very amusing. Blah blah blah (as he used to say).
Stuart Cosgrove is the perfect foil. I love the way they interrupt each...”Read full review »
