In The Zone - The End

#InTheZone 160 is out www.yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts

The pod turns 3 this week and are brought back to Earth with a comprehensive loss to Sydney FC. Melbourne Victory fan, Ben Williams, dials in the help preview Easter's fixture. The All Whiteslose to Korea and Exodus Team Wellington blow out in their ASB Premiership semi final.

Just ignore my claim that CCM could win tonight. 

Suggestions for pod music....

The Smiths.

Some suggestions:

Biffy Clyro - Many of Horror

Bee Gees - I started a joke

The Cure - Prayers for rain (although a bit instrumentally heavy)

Johnny Cash - Hurt

I fought the law and the law won.

Always look on the bright side of life

I hate it when people modify a quote and say fixed, but I had to fix this.

Trent Reznor:

"I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure."

I don't agree, but in that case, fixed.

The News-less pod is back as Wellington Phoenix FC's chance of first fades with a loss to Melbourne Victory. Melbourne City FC fan, David Hards, dials in to help review this weekend's fixture. Oceania expert, Gordon Glen Watson, talks through the upcoming OFC Champions League, and the podders talk Football Ferns, Junior All Whites, the ASB Premiership, and local Wellington leagues.

The Johnny Cash version is so much better, I hate the NIN one

Reznor is a poor man's Jorgensen.

I think the opposite.The Johny Cash version is only liked because he is old and dying at that point.

I don't like either version of the song, but I think that the original "Rusty Cage" is way better than Cash's cover

Banstick for dale for continually betting against the nix

What a cheeky shark, sneaking a comment about the cricket in.

get on victree you said. Free money. Put the house on it..

‪#‎InTheZone‬ 162 is out www.yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts.

The pod looks back at last week's action as Wellington Phoenix FCweathers Melbourne City FC's pressure to grab a vital point to secure a top four position. Mariners fan, Josh Howe, helps previews Friday night's fixture. New Zealand Football sack their U17 coaches six months out from a World Cup, while Exodus Team Wellington and Auckland City Football Clubclaim Champions League wins.

almost boarder line conspiracy theories, but good rant about the U17 appointments. For me, the appointments smacked of all the negative qualities we see time and time again from the top of NZF - no/little strategic thinking, lack of communication and no sign of integrity. 

now I don't know who is most qualified/suited to coach the U17 out of the lot of them, but say it is Danny Haybales and Zoro, then rather than having two guys come in who have experience and expertise, it looks like "they are out mates, so they get the job...your results do not count for much as you where just keeping their seat warm" kinda bullshark. 

then there is the idea, that there aren't enough coaching gigs in NZ for aspiring coaches, well if the national body treats successful coaches like that, who would want to coach in NZ?

end mid afternoon rant.

Anyone else having issues with itunes?  I'm a pod subscriber, but it's not recognising this new pod being added.  I keep refreshing but it does fark all.  :-(

I've had subcriptions for some podcast drop out for some reason. Maybe that's the issue?

I use winamp and the pod's rss feed:

http://yellowfever.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

I figured it out, it decided to stop refreshing because I hadn't listened to any of the podcasts.  But little did itunes know, I was copying the files to my phone and listening on that. 

What's your phone? There should be podcast software for it if its not an iPhone.

iTunes does that, go into the feed and refresh that, that will reset the counter.

Otherwise subscribe if you do download the file and copy elsewhere.

P.S. - Dale, pod me please :)

#InTheZone 163 is out www.yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts.

The pod is back to full strength as the Phoenix play their get out of jail free card to overcome Central Coast Mariners, and set up a blockbuster round 27 clash with Sydney FC. While over in Fiji, Auckland City and Team Wellington face off for OFC Champions League glory.

Extension hopefully

I don't know what's more disturbing, the shocking retirement news or Smithy's obvious randiness with quotes such as "Seeing Patricks 'piece' on the website", "the OFC reaching it's 'Climax'", "Napier City Rovers 'absolutely pounded' Tawa" and "come to the bencher and we'll 'shove a pole' in your hands"

You what? This can't be ending. What a bunch of selfish pricks. GFYs.

Rather than retire why don't you recruit?  Patrick is a nerd, he can do the editing, get a rotating guest on each week and News can sit there complaining about shark cod (Jacob) Burns while Smithy makes dick jokes.  No one will notice the difference.

It will be well lubricated though

In others want to start up an alternative podcast, we'd be more than happy to support/promote that. We've done our dash for the time being. But you never know, we might get the crew back at some stage.
