Jonathan Watson

"Only an Excuse?" star Jonathan Watson also contributed to the show, previously producing the "Only a Wee Excuse" section of the show which was replaced by the "Week that Wisnae" sketch for the last series, this was essentially a simplified version of its predecessor.

Catrina Harvey

Every episode Catrina(Cat) Harvey would star with Tam Cowan and Jonathan Watson. Nearing the end of the last series the "Real Radio (Scotland)" star stopped appearing on the show for unknown reason.

Guests

Offside began with only minor footballing guests, however in more modern times more widely known celebrities have appeared, such as Joyce Falconer, Kevin Keegan, George Galloway and Tommy Sheridan.

Audience

The audience for "Offside" normally come dressed in replica football jerseys, and actively cheer or boo when references are made about their concerning teams. Tam himself is a Motherwell F.C. fan, and a significant number of the audience normally reflect this. Up until the 2006 Season, the show featured its mascot "Jock the Cock", a giant rooster, who would dance at the end of the show, at Cowan's request: "Take it away, Jock the Cock".
