for the last time, Roly can not play for the All Whites. he's played youth football for the Dutch.

He can become classed as a local player instead of an import though - which is why Domey talked about it on the podcast. I can see how that may have created some confusion.

it amuses me that out of all the positive things that Domey talked about, the media picked up on the one minorly negative thing that we would be losing access to Westpac (which we already knew about months ago).

Unless NZ annexed the Netherlands. But then he wouldn't make the team cos the whole Dutch squad would be eligible for us.

3) KEXP

Domey says:

  • we will play Real Madrid in the off-season
  • Also we are heaps better then egg-ball
  • Gareth still turns up to Ernie's training with a clipboard 

And he reads this forum and thinks we're all twunts. As is Eden Park and we will be playing in the Tron's rectangular stadium next season.

Going to say that it was a success, just didn't make any money. Kept the Phoenix brand in the media over a tediously long break, gave it a credibility, and showed some really moxy. If the year is a success overall I'd say that the Football United tour had something to do with that...

I agree. Intangible benefits of beating a prem team - and one doing well. Photos of which are used a lot in promos. Definitely not a failure.

By the way, great pod. Well done fellas.

Phoenix General Manager, David 'Thunder' Dome, joins the podcast to talk all things back office, including our licence, finances, crowds and fixtures, while the rest of the podders review the Phoenix's demolition of Brisbane Roar. Young All Whites, coach Jose Figueira, dials in before they depart for their World Cup qualification tournament, and Team Wellington's Pat Fleming looks back at their match with Qatar.

Brief, but accurate

That's if they're eligible for that other nation at the time they play youth football I think?

Dura never played youth football for Australia, and he was selected for the Socceroos but never took the field.

You can play youth football for another country as long as you were eligible for a different at the time you played for them.

Every time 2nd Best posts to this thread that a new episode is out, he posts a summary paragraph explaining what is in it. 

When you asked for a summary thread, I just frowned and went: "Wtf? - there's one right there every time... what more does he want?"

Wait for the media to get ho,d of the Domey bit about how sad the Sky offer for the coverage is and that other avenues are also being investigated. I am g,ad the club are nkt undedselking themselves nor the A League. Wake up Sky you miserable sharks. 

I also noted we are just short of 4,000 members and we have now got more than the Hurricanes. Having Football United might have been a couple of thousand short at the time but the long term effect has been positive.

Great pod. Good hearing Domey sound like a football fan, not just a manager. Helps when they are passionate, and great candour.

Appreciate the effort that goes into making the pod.
