Amen.

Hopefully he shakes off the knock to feature against Batley.

Callum Straw from Wakefield. Only 21 years of age.

Having you considered taking the direction out of everything you say?

Surely if he's to the left of the posts, he's to the left of the posts, regardless of what side of the pitch you're on?! Maybe you're referring to things as being on the 'far side'?

The commentary goes on BCB and the Trevor Foster Audio loop for the visually impaired.

It's imperative that the direction of play is mentioned.

The only way to stop this is for us to be calling from the same side as the camera.

This is what I was going to say


I guess it would only be a problem if you called the play as being over on the far side touchline (for example). From your point of view this would be true, but if the camera was on the opposite side it wouldn't make sense.

Well said Mick; this was explained at start of Worky Match.
I congratulate you on your BCB commentaries which are the only way to follow Bulls if one cannot get to the game.You provide the facts, atmosphere,information to a very good standard.

Cheers for the kind message.

I'll probably mention it again on Sunday, so Dennis understands that the ISDN line we use is in the main stand - opposite the camera.

If the club can move it to the Northern terrace side and move us in the old Sky TV hut then we wouldn't have this problem.

Anyway enough talk of cameras and commentary, haha.

Very true. Just another example of our resident Mick
Shooting him self in the foot. Its sad that he hasnt a clue
It happens ever week!!

Harsh, i think his commentary is very good. Leave the lad alone ffs

The old sky tv hut which is clearly visible from the main stand side not to be present anymore hasn't been there all season.

If certain posters continue to break the AUP and post things solely to have a go at others this thread will be locked and bans considered.

I dont understand all the abuse Mick gets, he is doing us a service which we most likely wouldn't have otherwise.

May not be perfect but who is, something that helps fans who cant travel for various reasons, I think he is doing a commendable job with Hobbo, both tbf are no worse than the team from sky.

Agree, especially considering the vast improvement in the commentary this year (no disrespect intended to JP last season, who I also thought did a good job). The facilities these guys have as some places to broadcast is laughable - are lass noticed them both at Workington sat in the main stand instead of a media box! Considering that, and the rumours that they do it for free, I think we should be over the moon with the service we get. Especially those who live away and can't make every home game.....

Usually make most games living in Manchester but away games can be a pain sometimes, so always good to hear whats going on.

^^ This. People who complain about the service community radio (and the presenters who are doing it off their own bat) provide need to get a grip. Or just not listen.

As well as Whitehaven where they had no ISDN or Wifi, so they essentially had to try and broadcast using one of their mobile phones' data.

For the utter avoidance of any doubt I second this. I'm really uncomfortable with people criticising and mocking a named individual in the manner we've been seeing. No one is immune to criticism but common courtesy shouldn't fly out of the window in doing so.

Believe me, Bullseye, Bulliac and myself want to keep the relatively understated moderation of this forum exactly as it is, and not have to make us all look like d1cks by telling you how to behave.

Love and kisses

Good fishing Mick, throwing the line in twice in a topic and hauling in the slime dwellers from the bottom of the pond. I would call it taking the Mick. Well done.

Well, living 8,500 miles away, up the side of a mountain and deep in the jungle, I look forward to the commentary's that they both give on BCB (We can get it via the app on the Police internet here in the Barangay). That, and Bulls TV that I watch when I go down to Maasin City to use the good internet there. I must say, they are a godsend to me, Thanks very much to both of you and keep up the good work.Just one point though, here on the internet, Hobbo sounds as though he's always eating a sandwich whilst commentating?

Not the temporary green scaffolding studio, but the historic sky TV hut that is where the current Bulls TV camera crew are situated.

We've been sat in the stands on mobile phones at Batley, Dewsbury, London, Sheffield, Whitehaven and Workington this season.

From a broadcasters point of view these grounds are a nightmare to navigate.

Cheers, I'll give you a shout out on Sunday.

I'm fine with harsh criticism, but some of the stick bordering on abuse my colleague Mark Hobson gets on here and social media platforms is a bit unnecessary.

Mark is actually thinking of quiting at the end of the season and has decided to take a month off commentary duty to recharge the batteries with an around the world cruise.

I've never fully understood those supporters that tweet in abuse at Mark.

There's simply no need for it.

This is really disappointing to hear. I hope things change quickly.
