Maybe you would like me more if I changed my name to Bobby Mandrell?

Perhaps someone would care to remind Murdoch of his words in this report Former Hull FC scrum half and now BBC Radio Humberside Rugby League commentator Craig Murdock believes Sharp has been released because of the poor results. "He's been a little bit unlucky with the injury situation," said Murdock. "But we're in a result based industry. "If the results don't come the man at the top has got to take the blame for that and the top man is Peter Sharp and, unfortunately, he's gone."

Would that make you any less dense?

No?

The Doc will likely regret the ridiculously one sided view of the situation he was arguing this week, particularly in view of what he has said previously about the previous coach's exit. However he is entitled to his opinion I guess - sport is all about opinions .

As a RL radio commentator, his main role, he is good IMO. It was a long wait to actually get someone who would describe the game in a manner which allowed the listener to understand whereabouts on the pitch the game was being played, roughly speaking who was carrying the ball, who had scored etc. The Doyle had strengths in other areas but describing the game in detail wasn't one of them.

It's not about whether he's entitled to an opinion, it's the way a supposedly professional broadcaster puts it across. Getting all shitty with callers because they disagree with him is a very poor show on what's supposed to be a public service station.

Local radio rarely aspires to the higher levels of professionalism, and ex-RL pros employed in Docs role aren't really professional broadcasters as such. I agree he stepped over the line in what appeared to be the heat of the moment but I found it more amusing than anything else. As Staffs FC says I imagine he'll be regretting it as most of the time he comes across as pretty level-headed both on the radio and Twitter.

I appreciate he wasn't on R2 or 5Live, or anything, but surely some standards of professionalism ought to be expected. And when I say 'professional broadcaster' I mean that he works for RH every week and gets paid for it. It's not like he's a guest summariser or occasional contributor.
