Hi absent ones,

Bit of a slip up at the weekend. Still another chance this Sunday.

This week my thanks to,

Hi absent ones,

Just wanted to mention here that the absent bluenose is a tongue in cheek pod cast. I mention this because the show is being picked up by other web sites and I find myself alongside the Chelsea, Man United and other top in depth pod casts. I say more about this in the show.

Please Please email me if you fancy being a voice in some of my sketches theabsentbluenose@googlemail.com

In this weeks show I introduce Paul Gold a roving reporter, I review the last 7 yes 7 games. Have a smattering of sketches all the news and of course Tom's bit.

My thanks this week to:-

The Freesound Project
B.R.M.B. for Tom's bit.
Sally Fletcher for the harp bit.
George Wood for the Golden Championship theme tune.
All other music from the podsafe audio web site

Update

theabsentbluenose@googlemail.com (John Jay) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:19:00 GMT

Hi Absent ones, just a quick blog to let you know what's happening.

First off I hope you all had a good Xmas and New Year- and I extend that to our friends a B6- I had a great time, when I wasn't working that is. Worked all over the holiday period but took some time off after New Years eve. The coffee lady treated me to a new computer for Xmas as mine was getting very clunky and some (well a lot really) of my recordings were failing badly meaning I had to do them more than once, loosing a lot of the spontaneity. So due to work, family commitments and trying hard to get the new computer up and running (drivers, email settings, contacts and new programs to install) I am way behind with this pod cast.

As I write this we have a very dodgy away game to Blackpool and an equally dodgey FA cup game against Wolves. I will try to get a show out before the Wolves game but no promises.

I see we have failed to get Kris Boyd from Rangers, wages were the stumbling block, so is that us not spending or was he too greedy? Good news we have signed Hameur Bouazza on loan from Fulham he's a winger (why don't we move for Pennant ) The deal is to the end of the season but Mcliesh has been following him for a while so could be a permanent one.

I think I will just read this for my next show! Bin the audio and just blog eh? Nah.

OK that's it so Be Good and Stay Passionate.

KRO

In this show I take a look back at those four games and hear the goals in Tom's bit courtesy of BRMB. Take a look at the news and the upcoming weekend games involving the top six teams.

We Miss You Garry O'Connor

theabsentbluenose@googlemail.com (John Jay) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:22:00 GMT

Hi Bluenoses,

Well I'm back off my holiday had a great time, sun sand and all that.

Things not good at St Andrews at the moment but we live in hope. I have titled the podcast "we miss you Garry O'connor" that's because we do; since he was injured it's been dire.

Anyway here is TAB 55 and it is slightly different a few new spots and a welcome back to an old bit.

In the show is:-

An absent bluenose view
News
A look round the forums
A look ahead to the weekend games
And the return of Tom's bit.

Hi, I'm Back

theabsentbluenose@googlemail.com (John Jay) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:11:00 GMT

Hi Bluenoses,

Where have I been I hear you cry well I've been ill and my life is hectic at the moment between jobs in the house and family commitments I don't have a minute. Also I'm off on holiday for two weeks so I just wanted to drop this quick episode into the feed before I went, just to explain what has happened to me. The show will be on hold until the end of October then hopefully I will be back with all guns blazing.

WE MAY BE ABSENT BUT WE ARE STILL PASSIONATE

Saturday just isn't Saturday without a game.

theabsentbluenose@googlemail.com (John Jay) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:06:00 GMT

Hi Bluenoses,

Funny old weekend with no game, hence a short show this week.

Start with a few bloopers as I couldn't think of a funny sketch to open with.
I chat about the two up coming games against Doncaster and Bristol, give you all the news, and a new feature a look at the top.

That's it just remember

We May Be Absent But We Are Still Passionate.

See you.
John

This week I give you the fixtures for September and a couple of juicy ones there are.

I take a look back at the Norwich game, and what Alex thought of it. All the news from the last 7 days.

I will do another show at the end of the week, with reviews for the upcoming Doncaster and Bristol City games.

Hi Bluenoses, another last minute posting but I have been down to dear old Brum, so not had much time. Any way the show this week I start with some great news about itunes and a maybe about a reporter.

Have a review of Saturdays game against Sheffield, and I'm plugging the joys and sorrows forum
We have a new slogan (see end of blog)
