It could get worse now Stuart Duffy is back in the front office, though I hope he tempers his enthusiasm to wind up folk with pointing folk in the wrong direction. he would have a field day with Mick's gullibility!

Easily solved with Mick G, stop following him on Twitter. In fact, come off Twitter altogether and get your life back.

Tbh, if the club wanted to stop those spreading false info, then they would just need to start handing out a few libel suits. Of course, those would require that what is being said had no truth to it...

Excuse me, leading fans on?

Robbie Hunter Paul leaving the club in my opinion is a very newsworthy piece which on Friday night when that tweet was put out was 'breaking news' for anyone who supports or follows the club.

Saturday morning the club phoned me deciding to embargo the news till Monday out of respect for RHP and the BCB news on Saturday shifted to Koukash pulling out of Salford and the news about Lee Gaskell, Paul Clough and Dale Ferguson.

What I don't expect is personal abuse. Good Day.

Of course he's going to tell someone that from a radio station he's never heard off.

TBF Mick I don't think there has been any personal abuse on this thread.

In terms of your social media comments I think you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. People will put their spin on anything. You need to be careful what you say on air too.

I'd refrain from commenting about anything other than the facts - it's safer all round and you and everyone else knows the score. That way you avoid embarrassment like after the Mathers signing.

The most respected journos build up a reputation for not putting their own spin on things and get renowned for being reliable.

Others like that prat with connections to Leigh and Salford are seen as a joke.

Keep up the good work.

Give it up Mick you love to make out your in the know with the tweets.

Apologies, the abuse myselfand Ross are getting is from the Twitter/Facebook crowd, although a few do post on here.

Those people accusing me and Ross of scaremongering should know that after the defeat at Featherstone Rovers, a current club employee and an ex director of the club both said "the club's ####ed" and that "they'll be no club this time next week."

Raw feelings aside, comments like this don't help the situation, especially when made to myself, Ross, Dave Craven, Yorkshire Radio etc.

As I've always said, transparent accountability, absolute commitment and effort from everyone at the club is all supporters ask for. You give that and they will always support you.

Righty as you state Sam, the same does go for broadcasters and journalists.

That was brilliant Mick. I actually laughed out load when you said "Good day". Have you been watching Mary Poppins this morning?

In all fairness to those who've commented, I don't believe they are being nasty. As you're very aware, the fans are currently on tenterhooks. If you promise breaking news or an update from Marc Green but then don't deliver it (for whatever reason) then it will get people's backs up.

Chin up old boy. You're doing a spiffing job.

I totally agree and I have PM'd him with ref to my earlier post.

Mick, my last post was not abuse at you. You do a good job on BCB when I listen on the way to matches and occasionally during when I remember to take my radio to Odsal.
My point was and is that being a commentator who gets privileged insights into the club you do need to distance that job from being a fan who comments on here and other places. I have never tweeted or read them or face book whatever that is so I am commenting about this forum only.

In my job I deal in private and privileged information and must keep a clear demarcation between knowing something and then letting it out in other wider conversations. It is difficult to do that at times but I tell myself to smile and say nowt if someone asks me something that I can't comment on.

That was my point with your position and what is now a very uptight and worried group of fans who hang on every word they read or hear. When I said "leading fans on" it is purely saying you are leading people to conclusions due to not being able to give the full details. That means they make the rest up themselves which is usually wrong. That is why I think it is probably best to say nothing - or in other words, "shut up" till you can tell the whole story.

No offence was meant but media people need to be very careful what information they put out, the quality, amount and the timing of it.

Other than that i really do think you have improved the broadcasts greatly. Well done and keep smiling.
