genius....

maybe Peter Levy said "nice tie young man" to Paul the weather man and it was actually a red and white tie which was highly insulting to all involved with HullFC

My parents do, as it is the only radio channel they listen to. I suspect many other (probably older) people as well find themselves in a similar situation, so the club just cuts off the only news access available to a large part of our fan base.

Burnsy also had a spat with Phil Brown a few weeks ago - not sure if City banned Humberside or just refused to speak to him. Maybe we should have done the same rather than a complete ban.

Interesting stuff, so thats Grimsby Town not letting them broadcast games or interview players, City's manager refusing to talk to Burns and now we ban them again. For whatever reason the comment about running out was just out of order, and you will know what I thought at the rime about that if you read the diary. I know of several (of which I am not one) who have complained about it to the Broadcast standards watch dog!

Still its another good excuse for certain on here to have another go at the club! For me they could have found another way to target the individual concerned because at present it seems to be only him that is causing the problem!

Still they have not been speaking for two weeks now and it has hardly made a difference. Those who listen to Sportstalk will know that it is scewed in certain directions, something that Shorpe fans are always complaining about!!

Not IMO Kosh.

Sportstalk is a controversial and candid talk show. Its that what makes it appealing to many fans although its never nice when negative comments are often about your club.

As much as it hurts to say it there is a world of difference between how our club and the Hull KR clubs are run and also the relationships they have with their fans.

Same Burns who left town for 3 years after nearly telling a story about David Lloyd.

Anyway, bit of a silly move by the club IMO. Further removing itself from the fans

There is an alternative now though in KCFM and James Rule states that Radio Humberside will still be commentating on games so if your parents can't attend games the commentry will still be there for them.

My main point was the sports talk programme not the commentry, i can't believe people would want to listen to that, it's embarrassing!!

Not really, he's told us that all interviews etc. Will be done through KCFM, it's only a case of turning a dial.
Although it does seem silly to ban a full station because of 1 trouble causer.

Lets kick Peter Levy's head in

Their commentary team for rugby league is:

Gwilym Lloyd - Rovers
Chris Park - Rovers
Nick Pinkney - Rovers
Lee Richardson - fairly balanced
Craig Murdock - FC

To his credit, Lloyd does usually attempt to be even-handed but there are times when he gets carried away, like the Dobson drop goal at Odsal which he described in terms more appropriate to a last minute GF winner. Other than Murdock (who incidentally is the best commentator and analyst of any of them, despite his FC bias, IMO) they do all see the world through Rovers eyes.

Puffy and bloodshot?

Shame for East Hul RLFC, Grand final tomorrow and the coach banned from talking about it.

TBH Suzie, I think the sports programme is absolute drivel - I never listen to it. I was really referring to the after match interviews and daily sports summary (which I didn't make clear) rather than that idiotic nightly programme.

KCFM seems to have cut back on its daily sports bulletins - the 6:30 & 7:30 ones have now disappeared (as has the news that precedes it). The hourly news now seems to be outsourced, and the sports summary they have on after this quite often has mistakes in it, and in my opinion is pretty poor. RH's news summaries during the day were usually better reported (and I'm sure Burnsy wasn't involved in these).

All we'll get now from RH is the usual snide, schoolboy comments, as per usual. Wonder it Mike White will stick his point of view on here though - he's made some impartial comments in the past.

I don't think it makes a difference who they support. If your colours made a difference to the job you do i'd have serious worries about several members of the Hull side in the derbies.

And the problem here is...

There is a world of difference between what fans can think and even say in private, and what is acceptable or (in extreme cases) lawful to broadcast. Burns had every right to express his distaste for the signing of Reardon, but the manner in which he chose to do it crossed the first line and came very close to the second.

However, as I've said earlier, there are proper channels to use if an individual or organisation feel they have been slighted by the media and IMO we should have pursued them more fully rather than taking this tit-for-tat action.

Have you actually listened to them?

Nice avatar.

Keeping up with the news isn't a strong point of yours, is it?

That's strange because Radford is on now talking about it.

Your Captain on Humberside as we speak

must have been a Radford impersonator on the radio just now then

Think you'll find it's the Head Coach of East Hull, who isn't covered by the ban.

Thats the kind of childish idiotic comment that drags this forum down. Have you not seen the reaction to Chelsea forums at the moment. ( mods this should be removed )

Back on topic. I fail to see what difference this will make to us fans. I live out of town and still get upto date info from and about the club. I have a direct link to KCFM on the HFC toolbar on this computer. I also read forums and websites.

It will allow the idiots on Humberside to constantly go on about not being able to talk to the club, but there is a pattern emerging here. Sports clubs banning the station from talking to them. It might now be time for the powers that be at RH to take stock. They may get licence payers money, but if their listener figures start falling, then the powers that be have to act or the bosses in London will start to ask questions.

Burnsy can not carry on as if he is some kind of demi god who can do and say whatever he wants. OK to be a shock jock, but its always best to do your research first and to take into account your listeners before opening your trap. This he clearly failed to do in the Reardon fiasco as Gwillum to his credit tried to point out.

Just a bit of fun

Sorry Kosh but I disagree. If the boot was on the other foot and it was Rovers they were poking fun at we would all be chuckling on here. The simple fact is our club have left themselves wide open with the gaffs that theyve made and our now trying to turn this around and get fans listening to a Radio station they have a keen interest in.

Lets go through the problem comments...



Tongue in cheek comment regarding Reardon. Fans on here were also calling for our boards heads to roll. Also on the news. A week earlier the Hull Daily Mail whipped up a campaign against Cockayne yet Hull KR made a calculated response.



Again cheeky but they have a point.

Is this really worth the reaction?
