One of Micks and Hobbo's problems is when their broadcast is married to the video of the match, it does show up Micks tendency to be inaccurate about the number of defenders in a tackle, Mick usually says four when its only two sometimes three, also Hobbo prattles on about how the game should be played in his idealised world, it must have been superb in his playing days!
That remark earlier about Mick being banned for calling out refs on TRL, have they ever listened to David Doyle Davis on Radio Humberside apart from his enthusiasm he regularly bagged refs for wrong/strange decisions.
Mick and Hobbo have got to be thick skinned about criticisms which are sometimes right but mostly wrong, it just goes with the territory!

Just wondering how my original post about an announcement (turned out to be RHP leaving) has turned into a debate about mick and hobbo's bcb commentary...

Think it's generally known as, "mission creep" - and in this case one of the 'messengers' turning into the message..

The day I found BCB existed was like a huge burden being lifted off my back.
Because if I cant get to a game I used to have to listen to radio Leeds and any radio station that has got the word "scum" in its title isn't worth listening to.
And they ironically refer to them selves as west yorkshire sport - when they dont even commentate on the majority of clubs outside the suburb of headingly.

BCB commentary is a good laugh.
Hobbo has a typical Yorkshireman attitude - he calls it like he sees it.
Mick gives a good balance.

I dont follow twitter cos I've got a life. If you believe everything written or said in the media you obviously dont understand what the media is for. Call it propoganda or call it the rumour mill - its purpose is to stir up debate, so its clearly working.

Talking about the announcement I heard we are signing a world class player who will deliver first class performance ..........................no wait a minute.........sorry, must have misheard......we are actually signing a world class darts player who delivers first class proformas

Cheers and thanks for listening. Me and Hobbo appreciate your kind comments.

Do you have a name? I don't think I can say 'Smack him Jimmy'

The thing that is making me chuckle is Mick accusing people of being anti Ross/Mick - as if the two are indistinguishable.

One is a professional journalist and reports stories. The other has been banned from TRL twice because he couldn't stop accusing referees of being cheats and spreads rumours when he hears half a story.

They are not the same things at all.

Of course we're not the same things.

Ross is written journalism and I'm broadcast journalism.
