No BBC Radio Humberside commentary next season

I don't suppose any commentary team will ever be to everyone's taste. You don't like them and you've made that clear. However they are very popular with many people as I am sure you know.

 

Well said Chazz. My feelings precisely. Viking was like a breath of fresh air after enduring the Fat twat and his illiterate side-kick ramble on about matters which had nothing to do with the game for most of their broadcasts. How anyone with half a brain could endure that nonsense is beyond me. I chose not to.

Brian Hughes and his guest commentators on Viking gave us real insights into the players and the progress of the games. For a brief period it became a pleasure to listen to the game commentaries again. Lets hope whoever is the new commentary team will be at least half as good. But even at that level they will be far far better than the talentless duo on Humberside ever was !!!

 

David Meyler was very good today, surprised tbh mate but glad too as I always liked him as a player.

 

I’ve never heard anyone say swan is good?

 

I think Burnsy is good on his radio show.He has a good voice for radio, unlike Gollum Lloyd who has a voice for silent movies. But I want to hear about the game not Burnsy and Swan's social life and what they have had to eat and drink.

 

And get robbed.

 

Me too Chazz. He was one of my favorite players and always gave 100%. I didn't hear todays commentary as I'm laid up from surgery yesterday, but if he's going to be the regular new commentator I will definitely be listening in to future broadcasts. What a great choice !!!!

 

Hope you’re feeling ok now?

I’ve just had a look through burns Twitter feed and there isn’t a single positive comment about the team.
There were some very pleasing performances in there today.
Docherty and Smallwood both get stuck in, Smallwood looked rusty but both knew when to get their bodies in the way. Emmanuel at rb looks like a very good buy. Fleming, local boy, played well and if elder goes we’ve got a left back to step in.
But nah all negative

 

Think you will find that's a more modern thing.

 

Were you around in the 1960s? It doesn't appear so.

 

I was around in the 1960's as were prisons, which oddly enough housed burglars.

 

And for longer than they do now.

 

fair point. What about that massive club?

 

That's progress for you.

 

You seem to have missed all the good things that were going on.

 

Many good things in the 60's, but on the whole the best time to be alive is right now, and in the main it will always be so. One constant appears to be old gits telling youngsters how it was so much better years ago, after their father probably told them exactly the same thing and their father...

 

On the whole my favourite time to be alive is tomorrow

 

People are indeed better off now. Materially, health wise, living standards...Yet all you hear is whinging and moaning about how bad things are for them, mental health problems everywhere you look. My old man never used to tell me things were better in his day. He wished he had had the opportunities I did and thought I should be more aware of how fortunate I was instead of taking it all for granted.

 

You want to tell that to millennial, Generations X, Y, Z...They think us boomers breezed through life with everything handed to us on a plate whilst they are suffering intolerable stresses and deprivation in what is now apparently the best time to be alive.
