The second part of the "podcast" round-table chat with Dave Byrne is now online at http://www.truststfc.co.uk/podcasts/. Sorry it took a little longer to get out than the first one - it took longer to edit up than we anticipated. Nonetheless, we hope it's just as interesting as the first part - listen to Dave chat about Paul Sturrock leaving, the takeover, what it's like to work with the new owners, Maurice Malpas and of course plenty of on-field stuff as well. Including a classic "demonstrating positional tactics with coffee cups" section which as you can imagine works really well on a podcast!

If you'd like to take part in future round-table chats like this or you've got your own ideas on what you'd like to hear in future podcasts, or you've got some material we can just put straight in either drop us an email or else post a suggestion etc in the podcasts section of the Trust forum.

Again, our very grateful thanks to Dave Byrne for giving up so much of his time to sit and chat with us.

Paul can I ask why it wasn't MM you interviewed?

QPR offered him a job? Is this before or after they became Squillionaires?

No reason in particular. We'd been discussing the idea with Dave Byrne of doing something like this since January so it was just an obvious move to do the first one with him. I think also the first one was always going to be a bit of a toe in the water for us and for the club so we all wanted to see how that went before expanding it out. We have asked to "do" MM for a future podcast so watch this space I guess.

You should do some spoof Radio Oxford podcasts, covering one of their games or something. Humours always good.

I think after. From the context of the conversation at that point, it's clearly around the time Sturrock left and they were already billionaired up at that point

To be honest from what I've heard, we'd be better off just putting their match commentary on there. Some things are beyond satire

Blimey he must be keen on Malpas to turn down double money at a filthy ruch club.

Fair do's mate, just wondering.

Would love to hear the thoughts of MM though.  I have a friend who was at the 100 club breakfast meeting with MM yesterday and he said he was very impressed with what MM had to say.

No fair question - we'd love to get him on and hopefully we will.

On a seperate note, who put the subliminal advertising in pauld's avatar?  :soapy tit wank:

I believe I have Mr flammable to "thank" for that. I suppose I should be grateful it's not something a whole lot worse  :D

Yeah I was bored the other night and paul's avatar was boring.

You should start up full on trust audio drama productions.

I'd like "Looking up at the World" starring Si and Ash

I'll look forward to listening over the weekend.  The first podcast was very good.

Any ideas how many people downloaded it in the end, Paul?

I don't know the exact figure off the top of my head, but last time I asked Andrew H it was well over 200. Which is a decent start - we'd always looked at this as being something that would grow gradually over time.

I downloaded it a 199 times

and I was the other  :oops:

You have 199 unique IP addresses?  :shock:

Just had a listen to that new one. Byrne said some good things, and all that was said towards the end of the interview about changes inside the ground was good to hear. Hopefully we'll be looking a lot more like a football club at the start of next season!

That was absolutely top notch.

Our Club is in good, good hands.

Fair play to David Byrne. Top man for doing that. I went through a brief spell of doubting MM but that has renewed my faith.

It's all good. Well done to Pauld and Iris and everyone involved. I look forward to the next one  8)  


Oh yes. I almost forgot.

David Byrne said 'fuck(ing)' and 'shit'

Heh! heh!







fuck(ing) shit  8)

Excellent stuff again - Byrne makes a good point about what coaches are looking at during the game as opposed to fans.  I try and follow an individual player like JPM to see if he is actually doing anything but it's nigh on impossible to not follow the ball for any length of time.  I'd be a crap scout

Loved it. whens the next one ?  :)

As soon as we can retrieve the tapes from Max Moseley's hotel room  :D

Can some one email it to me, work wont let me download it...
