Listener sentiment
The Go Radio Football Show has built a largely positive following since its 2020 launch, with listeners particularly praising host Paul Cooney for keeping the show moving with an affable manner and good instincts for pacing. The rotating panel of former players and journalists is a recurring draw — Barry Ferguson, Craig Moore, Peter Grant, and Andy Walker are frequently singled out as compelling contributors, and high-profile guests like Martin O'Neill generate enthusiasm. Listeners value the blend of straight-talking analysis, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and live phone-in interaction, with expatriate Scottish football fans especially appreciative of the show keeping them connected to the domestic game. Criticism, while present, tends to focus on a few recurring fault lines: a perception among some listeners that coverage tilts toward one side of the Old Firm divide, inconsistent or slow episode uploads relative to rival phone-in shows, and audio-balance issues where promotional inserts play noticeably louder than the main content. A handful of reviewers have also taken issue with individual pundits they find underwhelming or with the show occasionally drifting into political territory rather than sticking to football.
