Quote Kosh="Kosh"There is a world of difference between what fans can think and even say in private, and what is acceptable or (in extreme cases) lawful to broadcast. Burns had every right to express his distaste for the signing of Reardon, but the manner in which he chose to do it crossed the first line and came very close to the second.
However, as I've said earlier, there are proper channels to use if an individual or organisation feel they have been slighted by the media and IMO we should have pursued them more fully rather than taking this tit-for-tat action.'"
Sorry Kosh but I disagree. If the boot was on the other foot and it was Rovers they were poking fun at we would all be chuckling on here. The simple fact is our club have left themselves wide open with the gaffs that theyve made and our now trying to turn this around and get fans listening to a Radio station they have a keen interest in.
Lets go through the problem comments...
Quote KoshThe first took place on Easter Monday in which he stated “What are they (Hull FC) going to run out to the next time they run out are we going to get The Prodigy’s Smack my whatever up as the theme tune – it’s just ridiculous'"
Tongue in cheek comment regarding Reardon. Fans on here were also calling for our boards heads to roll. Also on the news. A week earlier the Hull Daily Mail whipped up a campaign against Cockayne yet Hull KR made a calculated response.
Quote Koshthe second comment concerning club Media Manager Dick Tingle in which David Burns stated “I am told that there is a very good interview on the Hull FC website”. Gwilym Lloyd said “But that’s not speaking to the media”. Burns continued “No it is the club’s own press officer doing the interview with the Chief Executive”. Another person added, “So it’s a bit loaded then isn’t it?” Burns adding “the questions no doubt, well one would assume, written by the Chief Executive to get the right answers and I am told the club’s press officer needed a plank of wood across his feet and a piece of string to” Lloyd intervened “Burnsy can I fade you out there”. '"
Again cheeky but they have a point.
Is this really worth the reaction?
