Do Not Scratch Your Eyes - Benjamin Bloom Special - S2 Ep23

The second half of the Derby day aftermath sees a couple of reports from Non league grounds, a fabulous call from Paul Holly asking about the owners exit strategy or lack of it and we have some really rather sweary reviews. Finally Justin finishes off by telling us about seeing his favourite TV series filing locations! Massive thanks to all our listeners, lurkers and contributors as always.

Please note there is very strong language and quite a bit of it...... The first half of the no-show at Kenilworth Road. Supposedly superior individuals were shown up to be an inferior team unit against a side that has been put together on a fraction of the cost and with a Manager who was discarded by our club's hierarchy after 10 league games this season. Of course losing in a derby is supposed to hurt and this certainly did - but does it also go towards questions that should be put at the owners door. Also we touch on the finance statement released yesterday briefly but this will covered in another podcast soon. Massive thanks to all our listeners, lurkers and contributors as always. Part Two out tomorrow.

So it's that Derby tine of the year - whether you call it the the M1 or Herts/Beds Derby - its the match you just don't want to lose. We speak to Billy again from the Oak Road Hatter podcast about last Octobers game and everything that has happened since from Rob Edwards joining them and Slaven Bilic leaving us and how they are very content with the way things have gone since Nathan Jones departure. It's all measured and informed and then Justin and Carl weigh in and things all go off kilter, Pete is, as ever, too weeks late with his opposition "Star Man" assessment but as Carl puts it - "that's still just wrong"). We look at players who have played for both clubs and find out who is a Mr Logic (from Viz) lookalike and who is only awarded a lanyard. Carl makes a depressing prediction which Justin disagrees with until its explained to him and then he agrees with it again. Big important game - but the usual nonsense from us! COYH(orns)!!!

With the Luton v Watford game at the end of the week all eyes will be on Kenilworth Road! We look ahead with the gruesome twosome Andy Collins (Watford) and Justin Dealey (Luton Town) to discuss the last derby match, events and managers since, the Dalai Lama gets a number of mentions and Andy makes it to the second half of the show before using the word "Bachmann". Other surprises include the "Commentary Challenge" where our two guests compete in an increasingly unfair challenge to identify derby scorers of yesteryear and we discuss how many goats it takes to mow a pitch in Bedfordshire, how do you get twenty coaches (not managers) to the ground and why the away toilets at Kenilworth Road should have a blue plaque (as opposed to the green mould they have currently) and be transported to the new ground. Carl's Mum was not available for this recording.

Following on from Part One (as Part Two's tend to do) Pete goes off on one to try to let everyone know where we are at this moment in time on trying to properly organise the fan/club interaction alluded to in Scott Duxbury's programme notes - this is now with the supporters and that must mean ALL supporters. Give it a listen and see if you help or support but of course if you disagree let us know that too. Twitter was not letting people on to talk on occasions but we still continued the post mortem of the Wigan performance as well but as ever we veered onto other subjects such as Chicken and Biscuits and in the middle of an excellent call covering all topics Mr Paul Holly brings up the most contentious topic of the day - can chicken be cooked in rice crispies!!! He say's so!!! COYH!!! DNSYE is part of the TalkSPORT fan network. This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

So a frustrating game as we see the play offs become a less distinct possibility as every game slips past us we ask - would you take missing out on the play offs if it meant winning the double over "them up the road"? And then we look back at Wilders first three games and ask would you be happy if we appointed him as a two year head coach role? Pete parks the "ParlaciGino" stuff (untilt he start of Part Two - boy is that a rant!) but Carl comes on and starts going off about it until he finally comes up with a serving suggestion for toast that really no one wants to know about. Peter geographically locates Alan with such accuracy that it makes Alan feel quite uneasy but Alan recovers to point out that todays referee takes the title of worst official at Watford this seasons!!! As you all know that is leading a very strong field of determined and inept participants!! Part Two will be out tomorrow Sunday 19th. COYH!! DNSYE is part of the TalkSPORT fan network.
