Open Goal Podcast - Keeping the Ball on the Ground Ep 1 with Andy McLaren

Undoubtedly, we live in an era which has seen the footballing world lose the plot!

In a time where the game has become dominated by megabucks TV deals, oil tycoon club owners, over hyped and priced transfers, world-record fees breaking every two minutes and of course the Premier League continuing its mission for world domination, there is only one thing we in Scotland can do… laugh! Because if we don’t, we’ll greet!

The Open Goal podcast with Mark Guidi and Simon Ferry seeks to give you the Scottish perspective on the madness that surrounds our nation by taking a light hearted and humorous view on the latest topics from world football as they attempt to keep the game we love on the ground.

In our first instalment, we welcome ex-Dundee United man, Andy McLaren to the show where our topics of discussion include mad referee moments, Saturday night kick-offs, scraps in the tunnel and Managers losing the plot in post-match interviews.
