I wouldn't be surprised if paintboy got the job.

It's all falling I to place now. It will be Sandercock.

Is Humberside that bad? Never listened to it, reading the comments on here don't think I ever will.

Well, he's certainly got the Rovers-friendly qualities that the current team share



Pre 2005 final:



Re Hull FC (I paraphrase slightly, someone had this as their sig, I think): I loathe them with such a passion I wish they'd go out of existence, never to be seen or heard of again.







That should do it.

you are a very sensible chap.

Think I'll start listen to "Hull FC live" if I'm not at the game

that has cheered me up

Didn't Richardson also play for Hull

Remind me why he now protects his tweets. Inappropriate and inflammatory comments about Hull FC's board?

You could all listen to the most biased commentator in rugby league if you wanted David Doyle Davidson

I don't think lee richardson is biased against Hull but he is pretty honest with what he says which rubs up fans on both sides of the river (and I don't mean the B&W's in east hull).

I have to say that I've not heard him say much which you can really disagree with

Sorry I thought id asked if he'd played for Hull also

Yes, yes he did.

I don't listen to the Humberside match commentary and haven't for some time now.Like many others I believe there is a gross miss balance in the reporting of anything Hull FC.I believe that Gwillam is way out of his depth and if they ever take out the words "you know"from the English language he is going to be well and truly shafted.I do , now and again listen to the aftermatch phone in,more for a laugh at some of the numpty calls, rather than any non biased analysis.
I suppose we can all do the same,not tune in to their match commentaries,not participate in any of their phone in's and in general just blank their rugby programmes.I know for a lot of people the radio is the only source of keeping in touch with Hull FC,but if there is a significant fall in their listening figures,somewhere and someone will surely ask questions.

Anyone know who murdock represents so we can understand where the conflict might lie?

I think its about time Lloyd was put out to grass bias in favour of rovers or not he's terrible and you can sense the commentators with him getting fustrated when he goes off on a tangent

I think he represents James Green for rovers

Maybe, although he slated our board for building false expectations. Will he hold Mike Smith to account for saying 2014 would be Rovers year and Phil Lowe for saying Rovers pack is the best in the whole competition? Assuming they don't win the Grand Final, of course.

The tone of the news bulletins is a bit strange though. The day after they binned Sandercock, the comment was "Rovers can now look forward to building for 2015". Talking up Chester pre Leeds game as having a "100% record." All a bit weird.

Quite a few young players across the city and at Wakey IIRC. Hudgell has little time for agents, of course.

The paranoia on here is unbelievable, the anti hull statements rh makes are hardly earth shattering and echoed on here daily, false expectations are the biggest flaw. MS maybe makes them about us but we don't swallow it hook line and sinker every year and its usually a one off statement not a full on marketing ploy.

GL is a shocking commentator full stop and should be binned, unless your interested in playrr hairstyles then youll be fully up to date. The rest are ok and the coverage pretty good.

I'm not paranoid, I based my opinion from listening to radio humberside. For me Lloyd should never be let loose on a microphone as he is an awful commentator and how an earth he has got the position of RL director is a mystery. As for Pinkney & Richardson they both have displayed a lack of class for me by at times being quite insulting and patronising to the fans of Hull FC.

the agency is map sports,its on facebook, they tend to announce their signings as they make them.

We can fully agree on Lloyd he is shocking, the other two and Doc always seem ok to me, yes they have criticised FC but is it unfair criticism and anything the majority of your fans agree with.

Humberside is far from perfect but for RL it's far better than 90% of other media outlets.

I think if the fans of RL got their way, going by the criticism both RH and SKY get there would be no coverage at all.

Its not the criticism of the team as such that's a problem - some though it is uncomfortable to hear it is not inaccurate. What is the problem is that the 2 teams are held to a different standard. I have yet to see the dobbins over ambitious claims for the coming seasons to be questioned and ridiculed in the the same way that those made by the Hull club are. And there there are plenty of such statements made by the dobbins as Mrs B's archive shows. Hudgell, when he appears on RH, never gets anything less than a thorough brown nosing off Gollum. Murdock going will only make it worse and if that fat turd GML get's a job well that's the final straw.

This is a real shame. Partly because of the Rovers bias of those left behind, but mainly because of their ability as broadcasters. It's actually very difficult to articulate what you're seeing in a manner that makes it easy for people at home listening on the radio to understand. People like Mike Ingham and Connor McNamara at Five Live are absolutely wonderful, right at the top of their game, and actually I prefer listening to their commentary on the radio than most of the television stuff.

Lloyd is a dreadful, dreadful broadcaster. I cannot believe he's been doing it for as long as he has. My favourite bit is when we're three minutes away from the top of the hour and he tries to fill up to the news by reading out the e-mail addys and phone numbers over again, and trying to remember what's coming up in the next hour. It's a real life version of Alan Partridge's "ha ha ha, ha ha ha, funny story, ha ha ha. ha. ha. News."

Murdoch was able to articulate his opinions and what was happening out on the field far better than any of the others and will be missed.
