I haven't listened to Tiger Players live radio commentary much this season as the TV channels here provide live Hull City games virtually every week. But I had to listen to the Everton game as it wasn't being carried on TV. I was dreading listening to the incoherent "Swanny" and Burnsie discussing everything but the actual game in progress, but was happily surprised by a decent commentary by Brian Hughes and another pundit, both of whom focused on the game and not their previous night out unfunny antics. If we are relegated, as seems increasingly likely, us poor expats will have to rely on Tiger Player or uncertain streams. At least the departure of the awful Burns/Swann will make that easier to listen too. Good riddance!

I had Tiger player on a few matches ago, and was far better than having the clown Swanny telling us all about what he did at the weekend and what he was eating. ***an was summarising and proved to be a lot more insightful. Burnsy was quite often ok but he tended to get sucked in with Swan.
 
We listen to Burnsy and Swanny for the very reasons that some people don't. Radio and TV coverage of football has become so serious over the last few seasons and their commentary is more like two ordinary guys who go to the match to enjoy the football, support the team of their choice, have a pie and a pint and maybe a night out before or after away games. Surely that's what an awful lot of supporters are like - it's what they do. No criticism implied of those who enjoy the 5Live or Sky commentaries - we just prefer the informal way it's done on Humberside. Two sides to everything I guess.

As a season ticket (I mean membership !!) holder and living in a part of North Yorkshire unable to receive BBC Radio Humberside on my radio I subscribe to Hull City Player and find Burnsy and Swanny fairly good listening. BUT it seems they have been sacked and it's the awful Radio Viking with dreadful adverts and rubbish commentary. IS THIS THE ALLAM'S DOING because Burnsy and Swanny have the nerve to criticise the ALLAM's if so this is another step too far and smacks of totalitarism.
I've cancelled my subscription to Hull City Player and will now drive to the top of a hill and listen live to BBC Radio Humberside

Selling the club at a profit would have been pocketing the money. What they are doing to City makes no sense.

Burnsey is a sports journalist?
he is also a wum... he reminds me of Adrian Durham from TalkShite!
he says things to intentionally piss people off, then they call up and argue their point.
then that way they keep the conversation going.

I don't buy that. The money was there to be spent:

£13m - Mason
£5m - Henriksen
£5m - Marshall
£1m - Keane
£1m - Weir

And however much Mbokani costs

£25m there which is a lot of money. If they were planning on pocketing it all and investing nothing we'd have had a couple of freebies and low cost transfers and bids for Maguire etc. would have been accepted.

I think it's fair to say they ****ed up but the evidence suggests our current position is absolutely not by design.

What wealth are they pocketing??
Lazy journalism from the fat ****. What a surprise.
We had a small outlay in the summer. It was spent poorly by phelan.
We're 80 or is it 90 million in debt. Would you continue funding the club/players out of your own pocket?
Most of the money we get goes straight to the players.

Why didn't burns and swan eh stick to dissecting the performance and where we went wrong? Can they do that do they have a clue? Do they ****.
They're ****ing awful to listen to, If the club have switched maybe it's cos they've listened to enough of us on here calling them.

Spot on analysis on Radio Humberside.
Burnsy said today , this season is for the owners to pocket the wealth created by the Premier League with a minimal outlay whilst quite happily accepting relegation.

Read that statement back to yourself.
Then look at what happened yesterday.
Spot on my arse.

I just listened to last nights Sports talk, and they had on the managers for the 3 clubs, McCann/Jolly & Hurst. That must be the first time a manager from City has been live on RH for many a long year apart from game days?

When asked about incomings, it doesn't look as if another striker will be forthcoming, as he seems happy with what he has.
