You won't get any argument from me regarding Lloyd, however the topic was about Durham and not about comparing him with local hacks who should never have returned from NZ. As for "respected", by whom? I stand by my assessment of Durham. I don't care how many listeners he has, the Sun presumably outsells my preferred newspaper but it's still a waste of a good tree.

Durham works for a radio station which relies on people calling in. He has to court controversy otherwise there is no debate. His knowledge and views on football are deep and well thought out.
That he is one of the very few national broadcastors who will promote Rugby League to a national audience can only be applauded.

Don't worry everything will be OK once Campo is back.

You seriously think that will make Durham less irritating?

Probably not, but you could always just not listen to him and avoid any tweets and articles he writes if he upsets you so much.

Agree, that's the show.
Durham says left, Goughy says right on all football debate. I don't always agree with what Adrian Durham says, but at least he'll lay out his case to back up his view.
As previously said, he actively promotes rugby league and always gives us a mention.
If you don't like him, don't listen. There's always John Inverdale, who continually delights in putting down rugby league. During the RU World Cup he was almost blaming Sam Burgess for world poverty, unrest in the Middle East and the financial crisis, on top of England's inability to beat Wales. He conveniently forgot to mention that England were winning when Sam got substituted, but why let the truth get in the way over good story?

Don't read anything he writes, wasn't aware he did. I rarely catch him on talk sport, as apart from the excellent Hawksby & Jacobs, the rest is garbage. Doesn't mean I can't have an opinion though does it?

So you have never read anything he has written, don't (presumably) follow him on Twitter and rarely catch him on the radio yet you say

If you can have an opinion surely he can too. Especially given that it's his job.

Don't confuse the troll with logic/common sense!

| I've met him a couple of times at the KC and he's a decent bloke certainly not full of himself from what I saw. His job is to be controversial and get small minded people going, if he's getting up the noses of certain Rovers fans he would appear to be quite good at it!

| Adrian Durham courts controversy, he will constantly say the ridiculous to get the callers going, if not he'll get his sidekick of the day to do the that and then defend his corner.
He does what he does pretty well, it doesn't cover up the fact he talks rubbish but its entertaining all the same.
Is he a c0ck, not sure but he plays the part well and supporting Hull adds to that in heaps, so good on him.
TS has definitely upped its RL support since it launched TS2, shame its only digital and I can't get it in the motor but its better than no coverage.
