I get the feeling they don't want to put their commentary contract with the club, in danger. They will allow fans to speak out, but Ando will only go 'so far' when it comes to what he's allowed to say.
I think he's just thick personally.
Far from it. I've met Ando a good few times and he's a good bloke who knows his stuff. He'll be briefed on how far he can go with regards to how far he can go.
That excuses him from picking on easy targets in the team and condescending listeners who ring up with valid criticism.
