Craig Murdock has left the BBC due to "a conflict of interests" with his sports agency. Their decision, not his.

For all Radio Humberside's failings Craig is a sympathetic voice for Hull and this is bad news for those who have to listen to games on the radio.

Sounds bizarre. How can commentating 0n a game of rugby conflict with anything unless he's radford's agent and the beeb are sick of him bigging radford up

Very odd

Wasn't he just commentating tonight?

Yup. Tweeted straight after that it was his last match working with the Beeb.

They are basically suggesting he would give biased comments towards players contracted to MAP Sports.

I feel sorry for supporters who will now have to listen to Lloyd's ramblings. I guess Hull's own service will get a boost in listeners.

The idea of the likes of Lloyd accusing anyone else of bias is laughable and bad news for irony meters.

What a farce. So Hull FC fans now will have the pleasure of the likes ok Pinkney & Richardson who are anti Hull FC to go with Lloyd it just keeps getting better. It's now just a total Rovers love in at Humberside. How they can come up with this yet keep Lloyd on as director of RL who has continually shown bias and is so unprofessional is a joke.

Didn't always agree with Murdoch but at least he made valid points and arguments unlike tweedle dumb and dumber.
Best of luck Craig you will be missed

Is he radford's manager He spent all night tonight telling us how good a job radford is doing and how hard things are for him

Wonder if they replace him and with who ??

Ludicrous decision.

In terms of commentary quality, Murdock was the only one who provided an articulation of what actually went on and could accurately name the players.
In terms of tone, he was the only one with anything other than a dreary, dismal outlook.
In terms of balance, RH now have 2 former Rovers players, led by a producer who freely confesses to regularly calling a Hudgell at home of an evening. So cosy. Little wonder they were spinning Chester as "tailor made" for the coaching job and talking about the Leeds game as a chance for him to " maintain his 100% record" on Friday. After one fecking game. Just wow. Matt Dean is totally out of his depth as Sports Editor if he chooses to fail to address the above.

Rob Chadwick waiting in the wings.

eating a bucket of kfc wings more like

Murdock was a former Rovers player too...

I rest my case.

He's a far far better commentator than Lloyd. More impartial too.

It was a clear conflict of interest. Murdock was advertising his wares on the radio: it was unethical.

Feedback regarding our sport coverage can be addressed to: Simon Pattern, Managing Editor, BBC Radio Humberside, Queens Court, Hull, HU1 3RH

He was a decent commentator but very biased in favour of Radford.
Mentioned tonight about the kids getting a chance for the first time in forever this season.
Then mentioned Lineham/Shaul/Bowden(maybe Green as well) as examples alongside Hadley/Lancaster and Abdull.

Best there was on there, big shame enjoyed listening to him, pretty knowledgeable and unlike some he was pretty impartial too, he has been doing Rovers games of late to several accolades on their 'private' board! So it looks like we are left with three out and out Rovers fans commentating from here on in.

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.
