In The Zone - The End

You being sarcastic?

Not on this occasion. 

Been good to hear off Tron coaches especially.

Looking forward to hearing the Steve Williams interview, he's a good bloke and yeah, I too enjoy the interviews, phone interviews can be hellish at time but you do a good job 2B.

Thank. TBF, the bar in NZ is set pretty low.

I am imagining you blushing...wearing your cardigan

Bit of a scoop there on the WaiBOP news too, might have to steal that one....

Missed that. Shows you how much I know about Tron football.

Cardy neq Boss

Just to correct Boxey, it was MUTV commentary the whole game. 7 had Michael Bridges, while with MUTV we had to put up with Paddy Crerand. I think in the end they stitched together 7 video feed with MUTV commentary. Think quality was ok (PAL or 576i broadcast) and better than the quality ESPN used to broadcast the UCL (which was NTSC upscaled to PAL). German Supercup was very good coverage.

Where's this week's episode?

Recording tonight. Pretty busy times in the lives of your pod crew.

Cool. Need to bring back the food reviews. You lads can't seem to move past the souvlaki. Was at North Wellington last week and the BLT was top notch. Also heard rave reviews about the giant toasties there (from experienced toastie eater too!)

They still have Nada pies?

They were always Parkie's favourite.

Great comment from uncle Wynton lol

New Zealand Football Media Association
The NZFMA media award winners for 2012 have been decided. They are:

Audio Broadcaster of the Year
Winner: Jason Pine (The Radio Network)
Highly Commended: Yellow Fever podcast In The Zone
Jason Pine has now won this award a record five consecutive times and was also judged overall media winner in 2003. His portfolio featured commentary from New Zealand's World Cup qualifiers and Phoenix games.J

udge: Dennis Katsanos (Sky TV presenter)
Judge's comments: "I was impressed with the professionalism of the Yellow Fever guys and the relationship they’ve fostered with the Phoenix players. If there was a non-commercial category or a best fan piece, they'd be definite winners. But I kept coming back to Jason’s entry, which was sharp, polished, concise and covered everything most football fans would want to know. It wasn’t an easy call but in the Voice of the Fans versus the Voice of Football, I’m going with Jason Pine."

I still dream of a Jason Pine/Gordon Glen Watson combo for all nz football based games on sky. Can we start a petition?

Presumably this week's pod was held up because the crew were busy watching the Nix play all those pre-season games ...

We can't say it was worth the wait, but #InTheZone V71 is out and available at www.yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts. 

In the latest episode of the almost award winning In The Zone, Paul Ifill joins the pod to talk the latest preseason games, the singing of Reece Caira and Alex Rufer, and Central Coast Mariners? pulling the pin on their game with the Wellington Phoenix FC? in Rotorua, New Zealand?. Meanwhile, World Cup qualification ticket prices are announced and Bill Tuiloma signs with Olympique de Marseille. And locally the pod wraps up all the Chatham Cup? quarter final action, and it's tight at the top and bottom of the Central League.

Y not

Another great pod cheers. Hopefully we do see ridenton/browne in the mix

Has Browne got the paperwork needed to be classed as a Kiwi in the eyes of the FFA?

Nice work - well-deserved award!

For those listeners who usually skip the local football section, do skip ahead to the bit near the end where they talk about racism - there's a funny story from Ifill.

Also, next time you have a Nix player on, can you ask for questions from the forum?

I would've been keen to hear Ifill talk about the Man U - all stars game.

you guys record a podcast on a Friday night?

true , but am just trying to think how old I was when I stopped getting my dad to fight my fights ...I know its not the same , but still....

Love when Iffy is on. Has a job as a pundit after he finishes ,no doubt.

Naming the pod "more kids" probably got the GCSB listening too. Just in case. Good tactic to double your listeners

There's not that many in the GCSB is there?

From 1 to 2! 

(Never explain your gags)

ifill this week, ernie the other week, adams in the mix in there somewhere as well. what has changed to get all these big names on the pod?

A free t-shirt and a chance to have lunch with a fan?
