At times it seemed he himself didn't know the point he was making. His argument was much the "Can't you see the irony", which, ultimately there is irony there but yes, we can, so what?

His stupidity was highlighted by the fact that not only did he speak about an issue he clearly didn't know much about (The nature of the campaign, the nature of his offense) but when issued with the facts he still choose to ignore them. What a stupid stupid man.

That has been my concern for a while.
Since the BC case closed and running up to the derby I was actually worried for the first time in a long time that there could be some serious trouble because of the way the media had been behaving in Hull.
Thankfully, I think the right-minded majority were desperate to prove this 'hatred' is manufactured and I believe fans from both sides were on the best behaviour at a derby for years.

The atmosphere before during and after was superb and I doff my hat to the real rugby fans of this city.

On the subject of texts to BBC: I have had many texts not read out on the program whilst they have been happy to read out the bilge they get slagging each other off every week. They know full well what they are doing, believe me.

I have been a big champion of RH over the last few years (HDM I wrote off decades ago) but frankly their current behaviour disgusts me.

Of course, so many of you are correct, and RH should only read out pre-prepared statements from censors, and only talk about what people really don't want to hear. Entertainment at it's best, i'm sure you won't agree.

No ...but the basic requirement for any audience is for a presenter to at least know the facts of what they are reporting..otherwise they risk appearing rather stupid..Just like Burns did..a good reporter (very rear) I know has the ability to faciliate a debate without Bullying his own point of view down every-ones throat!! A BBC radio station should not be used as a soapbox with ill informed reporters spouting and antagonising opposite teams within the city and this is just waht is happening on RH

I had a cracking day, before during and after. After the game was out with FC and Rovers fans and we had a superb time, rugby was hardly mentioned all day tbh.

Burnsy is just poor fullstop, I listened to him commentating on City the other week and it was awful, he constantly went on about anything but the game and seems to think he is some kind of personality.

I used to like to listen to Sportstalk but have now lost all respect for RH.

What about Marlon King he waits 3 months before discussing it! (probally after he received the ok from brown/duffin.

I hope City do go down, i'm fed up of reading and hearing about them

Stopped listening to their rubbish a long time ago, I find KCFM a much better discussion platfrom for sports fans, where you can have an intelligent sports talk and not the pantomine you get on RH.
They on RH have the audacity to call the programme "Sportstalk"when all the rubbish we get is talk about themselves about stupd things like Gwyllums bald head or fat stomach, how many pies have they had that week, and many other ramblings that are only connected to their personal life.
Do what i and a lot of other FC fans have done switch them off, write to the BBC and invite them to listen to this rubbish.

And interestingly, KCFM still give HKR decent coverage. On the day they beat Saints I hardly heard FC mentioned on the way home from the match. It annoyed me on the day because I wanted to bask in the glory of KC's victory but it was a big story.

Instead of moaning, why don't people just turn off? I used to come home and stick the radio on after every home game. Also used to make sure it was on in the car after any game if I was going home in one. Now I don't bother. If people stopped listening, stopped moaning about it etc then ratings would go down, the show wouldn't create a reaction and I doubt people like Burns would be on the show anymore. It's not as if you are going to miss much as it sounds like the show is rubbish

Radio Humberside's idea of reporting is descending into downright sensationalism and they feel the need to court controversy rather than deal in plain facts.

Although it needed addressing, they instigated the witchhunts against John Kear & Peter Sharp and played a huge part in the Cooke affair. How long before they are on Agar's back?
