So where is JT, Matt Dean and any other GTFC reporter? Isn’t there a new guy in charge at RH? Not looking good for inclusivity is it?

A really poor broadcasting effort from RH today as far as GTFC concerned. Pre match, match and post match with GL of a very low grade.

Matt Dean is recovering from what sounds like a serious illness. He tweeted briefly about it a week or so ago.

Just to rub it in, I listened to Radio Sheffield commentary of Shef Utd v Derby as I drove into the M180 sunset. Excellent description of Match action and analysis as the game progressed. Co-commentator was SU legend Keith Edwards who says it as he sees it and praised Derby's players and gameplan. Good listen for a neutral.

On that note, I felt that Crofty's summary quite accomplished today and rescued RH laurels for what they are worth.

Once again between 5 and 6pm on a Saturday RH's (the H standing or Hull) was pathetic! McCall and Madkins would still be talking now if Mike White and Dave Burns had their way.  

I thought Crofty's summary was "glass half empty" and Lloyd like JT just regurgitates the obvious, I detest Burns but at least he offers some challenge.

Burnsy has (again) just won a prestigious local radio award and is the only journalist I've heard who really gets his teeth into issues, football or otherwise.

I don't mind any of the regular summarisers on Town games - you know what you're going to get from any of Crofty, AB, Lloyd Griffith or Nigel Lowther but sending Gwilym Lloyd to BP - please don't bother!

Burns is a great broadcaster but also a complete tosser.

He's actually a half decent broadcaster who asks probing questions, my issue is when The Targers win the way he carps on you'd think they where Man City in disguise.

I've never times it but the Targers and Scunts managers definitely appear to get move time in their interviews after the games on Saturday.

Credit to Crofty for yesterdays co-commentary, must be very difficult to add your views when the commentator talks in such a stuttery, drawn out, stumbling way that offers no intentional 'jump in now' pauses or gaps intended for a secondary opinion.
The game itself, particularly 2nd half sounded very good on the radio, but the coverage made it hard work.
