he thinks he's jonathan ross or chris moyles and tries to copy their style.

I listened to Humbersides coverage of the city game on saturday and it was filled with him and Swannys 'jokes' throughout, you would have thought it was the burnsie show not a vital relegation 6 pointer.

It was the worst I have heard him since the Sharp is Toast tirade of last year. He seems to have learnt a new work "Crass" as he must have repeated it ten times. It was the bit about the entry music that up set me though!

Thing is in the end by his actions he appears to care little for us or Rovers, or in fact Scunthorpe or Grimsby until, that is, there is something that he can get controversial about. No doubt he will be shouting the odds about it tonight on Sports Talk.

There was, you will notice, little 'going off on one' about Marlon Kings antics was there? That would have upset his friend Mr Duffen . Its a bit like the way he defended his decision on the RL international. For most of the time we all seem after thoughts when compaired with his beloved City!

Got to say the Doc and Mr lloyd talked some sense though, before they were shouted down by their boss. They spoke sense without condoning the signing or what he had done! They did not back what had happened just tried to put across the facts Perhaps Hull Fc should start an anti bullying campaign next!

The Sports Editor will all probably be reading this and saying what a good profile the tirade has got them!! How sad!

This is the man who labelled Hull crass and then made a joke about domestic abuse.

I listened to it and thought he was right.

with regards to King City hadn't announced a anti domestic violence scheme had they?

Lets be honest if this was happening to hkr we'd all be loving it but because it's Hull some fans believe all the media hate us.

that and the fact he loves the sound of his own vice and thinks he's Hull's answer to Howard Stern; he's about as radical as Howard from the Halifax.

Like I said on another post, HDM couldn't give a stuff about street or domestic violence, or even news for that matter
Seem to me that all they care about these days is controversy and if that involves creating tension between our clubs and fans, all the better.

If these two cases didn't involve Rovers and FC players they would barely have got much more mention than a chip pan fire.

Some of the 'reporting' has been worse than crass for quite some time.

Burns is not a very intelligent man..he clearly likes the sound of his own voice..
What annoyed me was when he was presented with the facts of the fc campaign he decided he was not buying into it Who Cares

Social Research has identified 3 levels of perputrators in Domestic Violence be the perputrator male of female.
1 normally represents a one off incident..3 usually represents a very violent individual..
Research has shown if perps in catergories 1 +2 are offered help via counselling etc there is a better chance of the perp not re-offending. Whatever circumstances brough Readon here..if he gets community service he will be ideal to recieve the help and help promote the campaign which will be very benefical for 1000s of families.

Well said!

Well Said!!!

AND that for me is the main cause of the friendly banter and good natured rivalry between our clubs that we all experienced in the 80's turning into the (almost) hatred that now prevails between the two sets of fans. This is fuellled by some of the ridiculously provocative and usually groundless Texts and message board clap trap the media organisations in this City welcome and broadcast.

One day mark my words it will all blow up and then it will be the clubs faults and the fans that are to blame, whilst they will be left with a good story!

Edited for accuracy. Stop to think before he ranted on, heh.

Any-way I will be tuning in now just to hear Burns bully his staff whilst condoning FC for signing Readon (who has clearly shown remorse publicly for his one off offence) which none of us condone however we all accept we are not in receipt of the full facts or had the opportunity to talk to Stuart in relation to this offence..

I hope this man Burns does not consider himself a sports journalist as he clearly has no idea how to gather any facts or information..He clearly uses the bbc show to air his own personal views.and uses the show as a soapbox.Yesterday it appeared he had no interest in discussing the rugby he just wanted to discuss the Readon case..what makes it worse is they appear to be using this show to cause a big divide between both the KR & FC fans..why did he want to ask a fan before they commented on Readon who they supported!! It must be said they also did it with the Cockayne saga.
