BBC Radio Derby - new footie presenter

[Bill Curry]

So its this guy

Dominic Dietrich from BBC Radio Manchester.

@domjdietrich

Can’t believe I’m writing this but 8 years after joining @BBCDerby as a kickoff reporter, I’m now returning as the new Sports Presenter. The weight of this job at such a critical time for #DCFC isn’t lost on me but I can’t wait to start & follow the top work by @_chriscoles_

Sounds like that German centre half we've been hoping to sign for the past ten years.

I really like Chris Coles, big shoes to fill.

Not as big as Ed Dawes shoes

Is ed Dawes ok? He deleted his twitter so I've no idea if he's done a Reggie Perrin or he's just focusing on trains for now.

He got a lot of stick, a lot of it uncalled for, although he did tell us the funds had cleared, when they hadn't. Still, Dawes was on OUR side and was only trying to highlight what the issues were.

Social media is frequented by absolute fruit cakes so I don't blame him.

Some of the treatment of him and his mrs on there was bloody rediculous. Some people need a word with themselves.

hes black and white through and through, people should remember that. Hes a fan too that wants the same outcome as the rest of us.

love his commentary and his raw passion on match days .. wouldnt swap it for anything bar graham richards but thats no slight on ed

I think the mistake he made was bringing up Alonso and the Sheikh in the initial comments.

It was over dramatic and implied something he only suspected but had no proof of.

It’s a shame I probably won’t get to hear him much, as while Dawes is still commentating I can’t listen to RD.  I liked CC though; often seemed to try and balance out Dawes’ extreme views and over the top reactions.

Good luck Dominic.

Surprised Colin Gibson hasn’t come back full time, thought that seemed the obvious move. Unless he’s going to get his job at the club back.

Rooney did promise those who were let go could come back when everything was settled.

Let’s hope he’s right, no one deserved to lose their job in the way they did.

I wanted to use this to say the personal and vile abuse Ed Dawes has been getting on Twitter is disgusting.

[maxjam]

Nice gentle first 24hrs in the job for him...

[Macintosh]

Congratulations Dominic, last I heard you'd headed off from Church Broughton to Plymouth Uni I think it was. Dominic is an exceptional tennis player and coach, and mum was Judy Murray's assistant for a number of years. Not to mention big brother James who was a BBC Junior Newsround reporter covering motor racing at Silverstone.

It’s the way of the world right now.

Lots of bitter people behaving badly with no thought of the consequences for others.
