Ludicrous decision.

In terms of commentary quality, Murdock was the only one who provided an articulation of what actually went on and could accurately name the players.
In terms of tone, he was the only one with anything other than a dreary, dismal outlook.
In terms of balance, RH now have 2 former Rovers players, led by a producer who freely confesses to regularly calling a Hudgell at home of an evening. So cosy. Little wonder they were spinning Chester as "tailor made" for the coaching job and talking about the Leeds game as a chance for him to " maintain his 100% record" on Friday. After one fecking game. Just wow. Matt Dean is totally out of his depth as Sports Editor if he chooses to fail to address the above.

He's a far far better commentator than Lloyd. More impartial too.

It was a clear conflict of interest. Murdock was advertising his wares on the radio: it was unethical.

He was a decent commentator but very biased in favour of Radford.
Mentioned tonight about the kids getting a chance for the first time in forever this season.
Then mentioned Lineham/Shaul/Bowden(maybe Green as well) as examples alongside Hadley/Lancaster and Abdull.

Best there was on there, big shame enjoyed listening to him, pretty knowledgeable and unlike some he was pretty impartial too, he has been doing Rovers games of late to several accolades on their 'private' board! So it looks like we are left with three out and out Rovers fans commentating from here on in.
