OFF THE BALL, SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS ON RADIO SCOTLAND
Off the Ball is petty, ill-informed and fronted by two Scottish football fans who really should know better.
Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan have endured more highs and lows than Michael Fish, but, erasing the memory of the last-minute defeat and focusing on the flukey winner, they stick on the headphones each week and make us laugh about our national game.
OFF THE BALL, SATURDAY 1130-1330 BST RADIO SCOTLAND
Stuart and Tam were joined by Scottish football legend Colin Stein and St Johnstone's Martin Hardie
Stuart and Tam's guests this week were St Johnstone's Martin Hardie and a hero of Rangers' European Cup-Winners' Cup team in 1972, Colin Stein.
The lad's discuss a varied selection from dressing room bust-ups, tattoo removal and Tam even spreads a scurrilous rumour that Martin Hardie treated Blackpool donkeys in an unsavoury manner.
We hasten to add for the benefit of Mr Hardie's legal team that the rumour is untrue.
Get your lugs tuned to the boys on the listen again function here at the website for Saturday's lunch-time mirth-making.
OFF THE BALL SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT, 1100-1200 BST RADIO SCOTLAND 810MW
Please note, there is no Sunday Supplement programme this week. Pah.
OFF THE BALL INCIDENTS
We're currently trawling through the archive from the programme to bring you some of our favourite clips. Here are four to whet your appetite:
Film star Dougray Scott gets quizzed on his Hollywood history by Tam.
In a risque clip, Tam reveals his desire to collect underwear from Elle, Gus and Archie MacPherson.
Tam, in his own inimitable style, reads out a rather risque song on the charms of the women of Brechin.
A caller's blagging reminiscences lead to Tam advocating breastfeeding in football grounds!
OFF THE BALL MYFARSE PAGE
As promised, here are a selection of the photographs you sent in featuring celebrities:
Colin Rae sent us this photo of him with hairy rock star Alice Cooper. Jeez-oh, Alice looks like Gnasher! Or Terry Hurlock?!
He says: "It was taken a few years ago when I was sporting a Graeme Souness moustache, which I no longer have. In fact, I no longer have any hair!
Paula sent in this snap of herself with actor Danny Glover, perhaps most famous for his role in the Lethal Weapon films.
Regular e-mailer and St Johnstone fan Paula has become well-known to listeners as the 'Scary Saint' but Glover shows no signs of fear in this shot.
Amanda Harrigan took this picture at a golf course where our very own Tam Cowan made an appearance.
We were impressed with the distinguished look, style, glamour and charm. Oh, and Amanda scrubs up well too.
Strictly speaking there are not any celebrities in this next photo but - always looking to be charitable - the Off The Ball team thought it would be nice to let Paul Munch get his face on the show's website. It had nothing to do with the cheerleaders, honest!
Paul sent this pic all the way from Australia, thus demonstrating Off The Ball's worldwide appeal.
Katie Cole from Stirling saw these eggs in a supermarket.
Does 50p from every box sold go to the club?
