Subscribe and Listen to FC Live in future its a cost but worth the outlay those who did this week tell me that Clarkey and his mate were excellant at Saints, only problem they got too excited when we struck back and where in danger of winning!!!! Excitement about Hull FC............. not something that you will hear unless its Mike White on the mike.

Humberside was wrist-slitting stuff, they were coming out with nonsense like 'Holdsworth's tried too hard' and with about a minute left on the clock and Hull with the ball 'you can never write Saints off'

So right Wilf - Friday Night Live on FC Live what a great coverage it was except at you say they kept getting excited my B/P was going up so much in last 20 mins - calm down Clarky and the excellant ? - Well worth the £60 for the year. I also watched the full game v Bradford and it was so much better than last year. I will give my opinion if the Saints game goes bad.

Was a great game, buzzing coming out, but when I rang my mum who'd been listening at home she was surprised I was upbeat as the commentary had been negative.

There was me thinking this was a thread about FC legend Geoff Lloyd (wasted on the young I am sure)


But as Wilf says FCLive is the way forward. I have to say without DDD it was brilliant on Friday. Though DDD will always hold a special place with us all. Sadly he was past it.

Better to be past it than never being up to it like Gollum.

Indeed.

at one point ,he said widnes were defending on the rovers line,when in fact rovers were attacking the widnes line.

I've had my fair share of run-ins with him, even to the point of him threatening legal action but I quite like listening to him. It's like an audio compendium of the Private Eye "Colemanballs" column

That was mainly Richardson tbh who is a Rovers fan. Murdoch does a good job and is very pro FC.

I stared off with Hull FC live but had to switch to Blunderside after about 20 minutes when it started buffering. It wasn't my connection but sounds like i was the only on to suffer from it.

For the 20 minutes I listened to it was much better than RH. I'm guessing that will be the commentary for the game on Hull FC live.

Same here on many occasions and it seems this is his course of action (I am still awaiting the letters from his solicitor he threatened me with) when he's challenged on the drivel he spouts, as he simply can't handle the fact when he is wrong and it's pointed out to him.

To call the guy a rank amateur would be unfair on such people, how he got a job at the BBC is a mystery and how the hell he actually keeps it is an even bigger one.

so david doyle davidson was also impartial then with his sensational tries by hull fc. or was he impartial in the right way? perhaps hull fc would be happy for the bbc just to broadcast hull fc games with baised commentators in fc favour would you be happy then?

You missed the bit where he said he [iwasn't[/i talking about Gollum's supposed non-impartiality then?

Hope you didn't sprain anything jerking your knee like that.

So the OP specifically says his complaint isn't about his impartiality (or lack of) but rather his skills as a broadcaster and you respond by saying DDD isn't impartial either? Your not Gollum by any chance are you?

How relevant!!!

I dont mind having a "home" commentator for my own teams games, its standard in the US that local broadcasters have non impartial commentators. In minor league sport they often work for the team, like James Clark.

Its getting Rovers commentating on my team i don't like, there is no enthusiasm for the team or excitement generated in the coverage.

he's appalling, not just his commentry but his inability to operate the equipment. i listened yesterday after the rovers game and he failed to cue up every link to the interviews. this happens regularly when he is on, the links the faders, the cuts to breaks are all screwed up - reminds me of alan partridge

do you get to hear it during the week on hull fc tv, if you had been to the game ?????

Good grief, thought it was all going to be about Sammy

Totally agree, Richardson is one of the most negative people I have ever listened too. He is a KR supporter and finds it impossible to be impartial when being co-commentator on FC 's games.

It's the same for City they are 2nd in the league yet you would think they was bottom of the league judging by the appalling negative opinions given by these idiots on RH.

The only team in the City I ever heard enthusiasm for on RH is KR.

Irrespective of anything else, it's his complete lack of knowledge on the game that is the worst part. His interviews are cringeworthy and I'm surprised sandycock hasn't told him to feck off by now. Caught a bit of his interview yesterday and gollum asked a question about injuries to which sandy replied they had none and then gollum's next question was whether a specific player had come through the game injury free.

I'm pleased he's a rovers fan so he interviews our coach infrequently

It says it all when Sandercock, who pretty much either dislikes or feels very uncomfortable on radio/in front of the camera sounds more fluent and coherent then a supposedly experienced broadcaster!

Maybe he's David Lloyd's lovechild and therefore has an inborn hatred of all things Black and White.

Has everyone seen the video of him in France (on that video site we cant mention)
