Will Gary Lineker be presenting Motd on Saturday?

[danny la rouge]

The one thing Lineker is known for, even if you don't know anything else about his career, is that he was never booked. To think he doesn't know the fine detail of his contract now, to avoid breaking the rules, is ludicrous. Goody two shoes innit.

Also, if someone is sharing their opinion on him, while saying they have no interest in what he said, then that probably means they know they'll disagree with him.

Oh god yes. I’m seeing subtext all over Sasaferrato ’s “I’ve no interest” intervention.

Anyway, Comrade Lineker has gone watching Leicester this afternoon. Will he return in a sealed train? Will Gary Davidovich Neville organise the Red Army for him?

Lets hope the commentator boycotts it so they just have the sounds of the crowd, listeners will definitely know when one side scores.

If you don’t have time to read the full thread, just read Sasaferrato posts and you’ll find the overall urban mood is the diametric opposite of the gammony rubbish he’s spouting

They’re more on a ragga tip I think.

Ay aye!

 

[Wilf]

Lineker's going to get a mad reaction from the crowd at the Leicester game. Look forward to seeing that on MOTD tonight...

Not sure about the fans, but Liverpool haven't shown up. Presumably in solidarity.

Gary Lineker: BBC axes football shows as presenters pull out and fallout deepens – live

Football Focus, Final Score and 5 Live Sport replaced in the schedules following Lineker’s suspension

BBC presenter admits fears about discussing BBC chair's Tory links​

BBC 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake has posted on Instagram explaining why he believes Gary Lineker’s suspension is such a controversial issue.

He also says that he was “fearful” of raising the issue of BBC chair David Sharp’s association with the Conservatives – but decided to post anyway.

One of the many questions raised by Gary and his tweets is while he has been asked to ‘step back’ why is a man who is reported to have donated £400k to the Conservative Party still the chairman of the BBC. I have been asked this many times now.
If perception is important how will the BBC deal with that issue?
I struggled with posting this because I felt fearful to do so. But then realised that this is a legitimate question that would be discussed on my show.
I feel sad that I should feel fearful though. I believe in the BBC passionately but consistency is important.

I like to think he originally wrote "LINIKER (sp) YOU SHITHOUSE" Then thought maybe people wouldn't know who he meant so he wrote the "GARY" above it

GB news have an alternative match of the day

The channel doesn’t have the rights needed to broadcast games or goal highlights, but presenter Mark Dolan said the show would offer “political-free” punditry as well as “still photography and as many clips as we can get our hands on”.

Hopefully Lineker et al will go for good, to be replaced at a much more reasonable salary.

The fact that my license fee contributed to Lineker's obscene salary made my blood boil.

A monarchist speaks.

<yawn>.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I have not read, and have no interest in reading what he said.

My objection to how much Lineker is paid is well documented on here, I've made my view known more than once.

To pay someone more than a million pounds of extorted money to present a football program is utterly obscene.

Looking forward to the coronation?
