Any clues?

I dont know who they are but it is likely to be two import players.

Slightly o/t but I think the dobbins are going to be putting full matches on their website to view at a small cost for the season (Haven't really seen the details, just saw a thread about it). Hopefully we'll do the same

They are, but it's down to their sponsor, I think?

EON media but I guess they'd do it for anyone. it's not difficult technology wise anyway

Point being it's been suggested they're underwriting some of the cost as part of sponsorship, hence the low price. They don't sponsor us, therefore it would be more expensive if we did it. Personally I'd pay about £100 for it.

If my missus was an accountant then I'd probably pay £100 for it. As it is I'd stand around £30ish

Hope they will be watching in the rule and hethrington households

Not surprising. His role on Sportstalk is to agitate and goad fans into debate. This is fine in itself, but the fact is that he never applies this approach to Rovers.

The clearest examples of this is his approach to the Willie Mason fallout and Ben Cockayne stories vs those of Luke Briscoe and Gleeson.

Things that he has screeched about FC on our stories are "I would be apoplectic with rage if I were an FC fan" about Luke Briscoe and "What on earth must FC's management have been thinking?" Then he uses his 2 minutes of fame on 5 Live to launch an offensive against the club on national radio as well. Borderline hysteria.

On Mason and Cockayne, he was far more measured. Did he ever screech that about Rovers being the laughing stock of the competiton and inviting extended commentary and feedback ages afterwards? Er, no. Despite this, Rovers were recipients of farce/embarrassment of the year for the Mason saga in more than one RL publication's 2011 "awards".

It's not the shambolic "shock jock" approach that I object to - it's the fact he only applies this approach to FC. I expect Chris Park to be biased, and similarly Craig Murdock. But he is RL editor. Inappropriate for someone with obvious allegiances to be in a role requiring impartiality IMO.

I whole heartedly agree with all of that.

That why Humbersides still banned then, thought that might have ended with the Rule gone?

Well, Pearson did quite a long interview with David Burns before City's last game earlier this week about the transfer window and targets etc; afterwards Burns said how good and open Pearson was to interview. Perhaps he's OK with the football side of RH, just not the RL element.
