Because they're not there. What about quotes that betting big on FC this year would be a licence to print money? No. But we didn't have directors claiming we had the strongest pack in the comp either.


When it suits you do. Plenty think Rovers vastly inflate their estimates of their own travelling support and have a team full of Aussies. So what? FC has the potential to be a top club from an infrastructure perspective. We got within touching distance 8 years ago, which is in the lifetime at least of many current fans. You can see why there's frustration at unfulfilled potential therefore.

I did mention it.
Johnny Whiteley had some Rovers connections, are you suggesting he's equally affiliated to both clubs? Seem to recall Lee and Gwilym being seen in buoyant mood out for dinner with Hudgell and Crossland at one point. Maybe they also have this level of cosiness with AP, but after last year's comments it might be awkward.

I think that Murdock is the best commentator at the station so on that basis it is a shame he has to leave. It should also be noted that he was commentating for Humberside long before he took the job with the sports agency. Given that I wouldn't imagine it being particularly lucrative he was obviously doing it for the love/enjoyment of it.
However, in recent weeks he has really been pushing the benefits of players moving to Australia live on air. He has a few Robins and Airlie Birds signed up so you can see why Hudge and Pearson would be annoyed to hear him often talking about how players would be mad to pass up the opportunity of heading Down Under, also stressing the financial benefits of moving.
Personally I would have allowed him to keep the gig.

The thing is if its that unbearable why do you listen when you have other options or of you don't listen to it why moan about it

I tend to go to the games, saves me listening to Blunderside

Maybe because as a licence payer giving money to the BBC I'd like something that is decent, and more importantly approximates the BBC's standards for impartiality. If it was a commercial station then I really wouldn't give a damn and would avoid them. Mind you it would be a brave commercial station that went out of its way to annoy the majority of its listeners.

Having some interesting dialogue on this one...

Thought doc was one of the better commentators,so sorry to see him leave.The quicker lloyd retires the better,the guys a joke.

I stopped listening to Humberside commentary after Lloyd started rambling on about Bradley Walsh and "that fat bird" (his words not mine) from The Chase during the Saints away game. From now on any game I can't attend will be listened to via Hull FC Live or another radio station.

Regarding the comments about Richardson, wasn't it him who called last years 72-10 victory over Widnes at the KC a poor performance? Whoever it was they lost all credibility in my eyes. How can a 72-10 victory over any team be poor?!
