Hobbo on BCB was hypercritical of the Bulls

Which seems to be all he's there for. I had to switch off the commentary as he was driving me up the wall.
He'd started criticising even before the game started by complaining about rotating players when it was only week 3.

I don't often listen to BCB as I'm usually at the game. I was unable to make the last 2 so thought I'd give it a go. I think next time I'll stick to updates on Twitter as I can't stand to listen to Hobbo being so ultra negative again. I wouldn't mind if he just made his point and moved on, but he doesn't. He drones on and on and on about the same bloody thing for the entire game. I feel sorry for the poor bloke next to him (Mick in this case) who has to put up with it and continue to be nice, when he probably wants to gaffer tape his mouth.

Hobo makes Stevo sound like Ray Warren (ish). He constantly repeats himself, doesn't know which player is which and he constantly repeats himself. Can't believe Bulls TV use their commentary. Thank God they are there though as anything is better than nothing when you can't get to the game.

The irony here is too funny not to quote

But yeah I agree, I can't listen to games on the radio because the commentary is nowhere near good enough. Even on the brief highlights on Bulls TV I'm cringing at some of the commentary.

They spent the whole of the Fev game calling Walker, Alex Mellor and he wasn't even playing

I've always had a soft spot for BCB, mostly because of how low rent it is. Pleased for Mick, he's the best main commentator they've had since I've been listening.

Hobbo's rubbish, in post match press conferences as well as with the mike. He's willing to fight referees mid match though, and you can't really ask for more from a colour commentator.

I agree on Mick, he's a very good commentator. Especially for radio rather than TV too, as he's quite descriptive which of course you need more of when you don't have the images to go along with it.

He can be annoying outside the Media, but I hope the Bulls insist on him doing the main commentary for BCB if they are going to use them for the soundtrack on Bulls TV matches.

Hobbo spent too many years along side Bobby Hamm and basically is a clone of his type of commentating!

Give me a bit of credit please. I'll put this little bloke hovering behind the drum kit on future post to indicate that I'm mucking about so you don't think I'm a total numpty ha

I think Mick's a decent commentator from the little I've heard.

I just watched the highlights and thought the commentary was great. Particularly as the editing process largely got rid of Hobbo.
