[Archived] BRFCS Podcast #7

[Brfcrule1]

I was wondering whoever is doing podcast no.8 for next weekend can either Glenn or kamy ask venkys about how the Blackburn Rovers tv channel is coming along?. Hearing whispers about a club academy in Pune I thought they would be looking to set this up. Could someone ask them when the channel is likely to be launched and whether it would be available in the UK?. That would be great either for the next podcast or the following would be fine. Thanks.

Blimey, just listened to the recent Vital Blackburn Rovers Podcast and although it was OK ours is infinitely more knowledgeable, informative and professional. Thanks again guys.

Hey guys,

Stu Grimshaw here, not exactly "from" Vital, but that is where I make the odd post, back in the day, when Lee founded the site I used to hang out here all the time. If I remember right I helped Lee out with some code to run a prediction league or something, does anyone remember that?

Thanks for all the comments on our podcast, we do make a conscious effort to keep it light hearted, and the latest episode, our Transfer Special, was the most serious one yet if you can believe that. If you've had a listen, why not leave a review on iTunes for us?

I'd just like to point out that it's not actually the official VB podcast or anything, I don't count myself among the VB staff, but I am friends with Mikey (we played in the same team together here in Sheffield), and there are as many non-VBers as there are VBers take part, I just like to think of it as a podcast by a bunch of Rovers fans. I hope that if you like it, you'll listen to it, and if you don't listen it's because you don't like it rather than because it's got people from VB on it :-)

I really hope what I'm talking to Glen about comes off, it'll be bloody brilliant!

Keep up the good work! I think that it is superb that there are now 2 podcats made by fans for fans!

[Flopsy]

It's a very good podcast, especially the background noises

In all seriousness, you should all be very proud of what you're producing.

Yeah your podcast was great, very entertaining, I hope you can post your next podcast link on here.

P.S. shouldn't StubbsUK get a 25% warning level for saying **** durring the podcast, sure it was not directly on here but I'd still like to him get the warning lol.

You should hear our outtakes !

VB is gnats ###### in the beer world.

Great podcasts all round though guys.

To be honest I like Glen Mullan to get a weeks ban for saying he has never heard of this forum until June 2011 after being "highly" active on the internet for five years.

Thats like a tele addict having freeview and not noticing ITV, "oh darling did you know we get ITV with this box, five years never spotted it, maybe they just added it".

I haven't been so insulted since my score dropped from 9.6 to 9.5 on hot or not (I have a theory the ugly girls vote me down).

Lol, It was more of a case that I registered at the first site I came across, and have layed my hat there ever since (Trying to be loyal and all that)

However as that site got more active this site started to be mentioned on a daily basis, So I went on my travels to see what I had been missing out on.

It now appears I spend more time over here than I do over there, Both sites have their plus's and minus's but I prefer to think we are all Rovers fan's and I like to interact with every single fan.

That's my excuse anyway

Yeah, I make a swear in the latest one, and the podcast shows up in iTunes as "Clean", which is not what the data we send them says it is, I'm trying to get them to tell me what's wrong before we get pulled.

and you should hear the outakes, like my four letter tirade when, on the 4th attempt to do the intro one of the guys sent me a rude, 4 letter word for the male reproductive organs via chat and it made me laugh ...

Oddly, it's the intro that Wen struggles with too. We've now done so made re-edits I can actually spot the swear that sounds like Horlicks by the shape of the wave form alone.

Just listened to the Kean interview by Kamy. First of all thanks to Kamy and whoever else made this happen. Great work as ever.

Some very interesting stuff on there, overall I think he comes over quite well, is eager to please and seemed happy to answer anything asked.

My impression is that he is a very experienced, and probably very good coach, but I fear thats also the problem. I think similar to Kidd he is all about improving individuals but when it comes to actually being a manager, thats where the difference shows.

Was interested in the plans in India, however I dont think that should be his role, to me he's clearly taking on too much with that on his head especially given the current situation.

Kamy, I do think you should have pressed him a little more on both his record as manager, and also his after match comments, but then again I think you did a fantastic job.

The name dropping is cringeworthy..Karl Heinz Ridle, Andy Cole, Van Der Sar etc!

Thank link doesnt work, any one else know where it is?

[Hi Mack]

link?

Its on the main page Chris......

He has now claimed all the fans he meets are positive and are loving the way we play! Who the hell is he talking to. A trip to Ewood at the moment is hardly enjoyable!

Only half way through at the moment though, Kamy has give him a very easy ride so far!

[mark1875]

i would of liked to hear what he could tell us about the hoilett situation! he talks a good talk, he needs to learn to walk it a hell of a lot quicker

[G Somerset Rover]

I don't get how Kean thinks we're playing such fantastic football. Anyone listening to that would think we were like Brazil in the 70's. But losing every game.

Each time he's pressed on the bad form he reverts to talking about how attractive we play and our hard luck to date.

Please just leave Steve. Your an awful Manager and your excuses and general jive talking is even worse.

[Ste B]

It needs to be professional and respectful, no matter what your views, otherwise the interview would be over in no time. There was a hell of a lot of effort from the site to land this interview and we dont want to ruin any chances of getting further access. This was arranged well before open letters and protest marches, and is NOT a response or an attempt to quieten things

Otherwise the interview would be on the lines of

Interviewer "Kean, why havent you ******* resigned yet"

Kean "See you later donut"

So true.....

Did anyone else notice that he laughed off suggestions that we trained for an hour then said we train for 90mins a day! 90 bloody minutes? not bothered about gym work they need to be doing a lot more fitness work because we look fooked after 70 mins!

Time to go Kean, youre a deluded fool!

I understand what your saying but things have been brushed but not really nailed!

How often can the guy say "weve been unlucky but played well". Points win games not made-up quality performances!

Also a question regarding his Champions league comments would have been good!

Well done though to all involved and BRFCS is getting more popular and the podcasts are building bridges with the club.

Taking everything in to account I still want a managerial change and feel

that is the ONLY way forward!

[chris]

Very disappointed, easy ride, Kamy sounded very very shy, even the so called tough questions were almost presented in fear of upset and nervous atmosphere.

Really a missed oppertunity because people are going to listen to this and be very frustrated.

I think it was a little unfair on Kean to allow him to dominate the tone so much because he really should have had to answer stronger questions and come across more human and relate to the fans concerns.

I'd like to see someone like Glen Mullan do the next one and be really assertive, I'm not say GLen as he might not be popular with Kean but when you listen to Glen he got that assertive attitude.

It really is possible to be assertive and still keep the interview respectable to club.

Even at about 60% of the interview I was ready to switch off becasue I knew Kean had control.

I was dying for Kammy to say, you've spend 14 million plus add on but you have sold Jones and Kalinic for for 22 million plus add ons, how can fan see this as a very good budget when on paper we have spent minus 5 million.

Now he may have a cperfect explaination, but Kamy's question was soooo open that Kean completely dominated the answer without needing to tackle ANY issues we have been talking about for months.

This whole interview was like this.

Well done for seeing him though.

[chris]

There is a difference between being passive, assertive and down right rude.

thats not a example of being assertive, thats just being insulting.
