Dear Sirs/madam May I make a comment Re your match commentator for the match between FGR and GTFC.
He was bloody awful, I could list plenty of poor comments but the one that amazed me was at the start of the second half. 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

He was poor, but at least that service was sustained as presumably RH had no other staffers who could do it, so……probably a bit petulant to get too cross, especially in the grand scheme of things containing other aspects to get upset about. 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.

Nothing to do with Radio Humberside, BBC cuts for radio stations means the quality some took for granted will ebb away.Get used to it.

This happens every season on the odd occasion our regular commentary team can't make it doesn't it?
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!

Assuming none of the regulars could make it for whatever reason and they had to get someone who obviously doesn’t know our team inside out. Cut him and them some slack I say.
I enjoyed Alex Rodman on co comms….knowledgable and called the game really well.

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.

It was even worse if you were listening to it with video on Mariners TV. 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?
