Thing is, the hierarchy at Hull don't like the sports team at RH due to the cooke scenario. That will never change until teh personnel do.

whats the odds on Burnsie quoting it tonight and calling Rule the sausage jockey of the FC PR sausage making machine

I still fail to see the reasoning behind this. Humberside were correct on the Cooke story and in fact got a scoop, surely there bosses would have been pleased they broke this story. I can understand hull not liking the story but it was in all essence true. What should humberside have done, ignore the lead.

Dont think it was necessarily the story, just the way it was reported, almost as if they were Rovers orientated as opposed to supposedly being impartial.

They were practically laughing at Hull fans and robbing our noses in it.

Personally I'm pleased the club have banned them, not too bothered about the Reardon stuff more bothered about them questioning Dick Tingle's integrity.

Dick Tingle has got more integrity then the lot of them put together..

Were they, or was it more a fact that initially the story sounded completely implausible, then when proved wrong the station seemed a bit smug, but as the story was bad news for Hull it could only ever sound rovers biased.

In a way it was no different to how the HDM have reported the cokayne story, now I know a lot of our fans think we should ban the HDM but for that would be a PR disaster.

Personally I think if Hull win 2 of the next 3 difficult matches the whole thing will blow over as the feel around the club will be better.

Can take his snide comments if he really knew what he was talking about.He is first and foremost a football reporter who wants to be controversial.He has the fawning Gwilym as his sidekick and rants on to anybody who will listen.Banning these people is nothing new,the dobbins have done it in the past and would do it again if it suited just like us.I never listen to him if i can help it,not really because of this, but for the fact that i don't think he is knowledgable enough about our game, and so makes crass comments to cover it up.

We can but hope

A journalist backing another journalist. Shock horror.

A good post, but what about their treatment of the other Cooke story last year? Rumours were running riot across the city for days before Cooke's no-show at the derby, yet Humberside chose not to mention these rumours. Strange how they had such excellent sources and could break the story about Cooke going to Rovers just before an important FC match, yet either these same sources had evaporated (unlikely given the story was all over every messageboard and forum) or Humberside chose not to say anything that might be detrimental to Rovers just before a derby. Double standards.

They got a reward for Cooke story and took all the glory But They didnt rant about P Cooke who at the time was up to his neck in trouble ..Radio Humberside didnt rant about HKR signing a Woman beater or a drink driver "warts an all".. Yes they have a right to report on stories but they have to be unbiased .. Why did one report state" I should fad you out " reason Burns was wrong and he over step the mark ..to him its a big joke ..But we the fans who pay his wages by buying a Licence are the ones who are missing out on reports from our club
