He told us that Green had been subbed for Conteh,  a couple of minutes later we had a shot  only for the commentator to tell us it was Green it was actually Holahan. Not only that , he was irritating as well. Regards             XXX

For instance; I was irritated by the commentator for several reasons, but I was much more angry by our complete failure to put any pressure on the ball and the man with it, in midfield areas time after time yesterday, and pretty f***ing peeved by our weak and clumsy surrendering of possession that led to the second goal. Just a bit of perspective. "You should do what you love while you can"

I guess the RH team sometimes have to reciprocate the favour and I don't suppose they get universal approval or get every name right. It is an irritation for sure but a forgivable one, but as commentators go he did have an odd style, but imagine if you listened to JT for the very first time you would also be perplexed!

Cut him and them some slack I say. I enjoyed Alex Rodman on co comms….knowledgable and called the game really well.

It’s a shame but life moves on . Agreed, it’s not just Radio Humberside, it’s across the BBC as a whole. And it applies to other sports too. Cricket for another sport. The BBC is driven by ticking boxes to prove they employ the target number of women, trans, gay, ethnic minorities etc. The number of BBC people shed as part of alleged cost cuts of late is also ridiculous. Sack Lineker, Zoe Ball and other overpaid so called stars.

The number of times he mixed up players. Anyway radio comentry does no work with video when they make coments like "defending goal to our left", "just in front of us", as they are sat the opposite side of the ground to the camera. Lets hope the changes next season will improve things? If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.
