Will Gary Lineker be presenting Motd on Saturday?

[ddraig]

I suppose this is what cancel culture looks like when it comes from the right. Perhaps those of a left persuasion who espouse these tactics might have pause for thought.

priceless

 

[strung out]

Who/where? What’s the story here?

I think it came from the Patriotic Alternative protest in Cannock yesterday.

Yeah, you’d be one of the ones getting folk sacked that you don’t agree with.

Well I’m not sure what tickled you then if you’re simply neutral on it.

Not sure if Pie is well regarded by a U75 audience because Spiked.

So what happened on match of the day then? I don't ever watch it, but I assume Wright is the back up presenter? and he refused too? Is that right?

 

[Ax^]

the whole presenting team said fuck this for a game of soldiers

 

[Rebelda]

It's only going to be 20 minutes long

It's not on until past 10pm on Saturdays, so nothing's happened either way, yet.

Lineker is the main presenter, almost always hosting the flagship Saturday show. Wright is a 'pundit' rather than a presenter, so provides analysis of each game (usually there are two pundits and Gary).

 

[Magnus McGinty]

And the production team have walked out.

Match of the Day in crisis after BBC forced Gary Lineker off-air

Gary Lineker, 62, will not present the nation's flagship football show after BBC decreed his 'Nazi' jibe tweet that compared the Home Office's immigration policy to 1930s Germany breached impartiality rules.

Which seems unclear. But ‘Lord Hague’. Jesus fucking wept when did that happen?

 

[bellaozzydog]

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.

It’s three lines you daft auld bastard

 

[two sheds]

Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be shot in front of their families. Continued to present Top Gear for 5 years. Gary Lineker criticises government proposals on refugees. Taken off air after 3 days.​

 

[Ax^]

he also got away with using racist language on Top gear and suggesting all truckers murder Prostitutes

and was paid an 2.9 million a year whilst hosting the show

 

[Magnus McGinty]

It was a joke ffs. I’m not even a fan of Clarkson and he’s done other shit as bad.
