Can the club and fans not have any input? I personally would love to see David Burns doing the town commentary.
I recall him saying he was an arsenal fan, certainly not hull city.

Burnsy asks difficult questions, he'd be the best at the job but not necessarily the club's first choice I'd imagine!

Commentators don’t need to be asking any questions, they just need to describe what’s happening on the pitch.

Quoted from chaos33


What was ‘disgraceful’ about it? It might have been unpopular, unfortunate, unfair even,  but disgraceful?
Your confirmation bias just drives you to twist anything remotely related to the BBC as being improper or left wing, or some other nonsense.


Who on earth would try to deny that the BBC was anything other than improper and left wing?! If Jimmy savile was still alive, he’d still have people at the top trying to give him a job!

They have to ask questions in the after match interview. You obviously don't listen to Radio Humberside.

I listen to pretty much every word that comes out of the club and 99% of it is the usual bøllocks from managers, board & players no matter whatever they get asked. We don’t need Jeremy Paxman, let’s start with a low bar of knowing the players’ names & some basic tactical awareness and we’ll go from there perhaps.

Bang on. The science of commentary is a little more sophisticated with the benefit of real time match data and rewinds to check key moments, but the essence for radio especially is keen observation and good powers of description.

Sometimes a co commentator can add extra depth of analysis but yesterday was a tedious round of matey repetition and 'That's right JT' .

Burns is able to convey a timely and accurate picture of a game in motion and see it as fans do. Having said that, it's perhaps time to try a younger talent out.
