In The Zone - The End

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.

In the Zone: Doing NZ media's job since 2015

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). 

Can someone summarize the podcast for me?

I never listen to it as life is to short and my ears are f*cked and there is better things to listen to - sorry guys but Kate Bush, The Wedding Present, etc wins out.

Vickmeist listens to it though. 

Can we have a weekly podcast summary thread plz??

so whats ur summary of the podcast?

#awkward 

epic, well worth the time it takes to listen to it. no matter how short life is

Stop being a smart arse.

look I listen to 2 or 3 things and nothing else. 

1) Music

2) The World Service - I can't live without the Shipping Forecast

3) KEXP 

that's it.

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.

"Make it possible"

Lol. Don't become a novelist.

Actually I may have misheard some of it.

Pretty sure about the twunts bit. Also very disappointed that there was no mention of kazoos for members.

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...

Got to see west ham lose and newcastle win.

Great success!

Being done by Thundersticks and intern Michael Anderson.  Doing a great job

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.

Not being a dick but I thought there were cases of players playing youth football one place and playing senior for another country? Dura? Reid?

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? 

if dura was playing youth football that is definantly not the case

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

Epic cheers guys. I got in major trouble posting on this thread from Vickmeist who is  major follower of these podcasts. Look I know how valuable they are I'm just a lazy shark, tubort, c*nt etc and I don't listen to them.

I listen to this sh*t instead 

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.

The podcast is amazeballs and I hope we can keep it up when Dale bails overseas to shag his way around the Americas.

I know my way around audio editing software. #justsaying

Is that why you have 5 stars and Smithy only has 4?

But your analysis......

I can edit the pod without being a part of it, silly.

Awesome pod. Well done, thanks Domey for your straight forward sensible answers and explanations.

How long is 2nd best going for? Is it possible just to interview Domey very week to fill the void?

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.

open ended ticket.

He does have a football club to run you know. 

When are you cutting a track Dale?

Late June.

Enjoy, I miss the travelling overseas. Still these things happen when you settle down. Good fortune to follow you. Thanks for your effort with the podcasts.
