Join Tom as he is joined by London Bull, and long time Hereford fan, Alan Leighton.

There is a nursery rhyme that goes, 'Rain, Rain, Go Away. Come back again another day!'

I'd rather it didn't return for some time!

Of course Tom and Alan discuss the postponements, the pitch and the weather. Much praise to Ben Bowen who can't see to catch a break at the moment despite his very best efforts. We back you Ben!

Both Tom and Alan look back at the only game in the last two weeks against Kings Lynn away and the real need to make the most of our opportunities and other teams not being at their best.

They move onto the looking at the next few games, should they go ahead and Hereford's rather packed schedule for the rest of the season. 24 games in 3 months...

As a result, more bodies needed and Alan and Tom look at where Paul Caddis needs to strengthen and where we need to cover for injuries.

Most importantly however, Tom and Alan talk at length about the recent racist incdient at Merthyr away. They think back to Sporting Khalsa and the lessons that have and haven't been learnt since. With a changing world they and all of the London Bulls hope that the regression to past views can slow and stop quickly. There is no place for Racism and Tom, Alan and KD wish to thank all have sent messages of support to KD. But it doesn't stop here and if you feel you could benefit from educational documents, you can find links to some great resources below.

Thanks for listening, and thanks to Alan for joining Tom!

It might be a long one but there is a lot to talk about!

Join Tom as he is joined by fellow fan and London Bull, Jo Clements.

As D:Ream once said, "Things can only get better". Right?

After learning a bit more about how Jo came to watch The Bulls, Tom and Jo discuss the season so far.

It's not been great has it but Tom and Jo try to look at the positives. Jo and Tom discuss the season so far, our wins and losses. They go on to talk about the issue of a game of two halves.

They look at the last few games in the recent weeks and the stark truth. Tom and Jo discuss their thinking as to what has and hasn't worked, the personnel that have come and gone and what needs to improve if we are to start getting results.

They then move onto looking at the next 4 games including Macclesfield which has now since been postponed. They talk more about what Hereford need to do and the types of players we need to be able to compete. Nothing less than 10 points will do!!

Thanks for your help, Jo!!

Join KD and Tom as they chat to former Hereford United midfielder, Toumani Diagouraga!!

Toumani talks about his early days of football in France before making the big move over to a new country with a language he couldn’t speak. He of course joined Watford where he turned from boy to man and following a couple of loan spells, eventually found his way to Hereford United.

Initially coming on loan until January of the 2007/08 season, Toumani’s loan was extended until the end of the season with tricky winger Lionel Ainsworth going the other way. Toumani talks about just how good that promotion team was and how if they had been able to stick together, who knows what they could have achieved.

Promotion was of course followed by relegation and Toumani’s departure at the end of the 2008/09 season to Peterborough and then Brentford where only a season earlier he had earned promotion with Hereford!

Toumani talks us through his 7 years with the Bees where he tested himself in the championship and created some fantastic memories.

Following moves to Leeds, Plymouth and Swindon amongst others, he found a new home at Morecambe. Described as a similar club to Hereford, Toumani enjoyed his time immensely and earned promotion. Third time the charm as Toumani finally won on his third visit to Wembley (hoping Hereford follow the same fate!!).

Following a spell at Rochdale, Toumani had a decision to make. Carry on playing or go into coaching, he chose coaching and Middlesbrough where he is a youth coach and loving every minute of it.

Toumani was an absolute pleasure to talk to and what a great career he had!! Thanks Toumani!
