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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
