Will Gary Lineker be presenting Motd on Saturday?

[AverageJoe]

So no Linkeker, Wright or Shearer tomorrow.

Interestingly the BBC article about this has comments disabled. Not sure that's non biased.

Gary Lineker told to step back from presenting Match of the Day

The BBC took the decision after an impartiality row over his criticism of the government's asylum plans.

still people are more reactionary when you fuck with football

shame football fans are such a broad church that plenty hold such dodgy views


but all for more ex footballers and currrent players calling out the racist dog whistle shite of the dying tory brand

 

[twistedAM]

Alex Scott not on MoTd either

Ok, I'm going to bet that Gary Lineker will present tomorrow's MOTD.

 

[Rebelda]

It'll be Souness at this rate

 

[Bingoman]

Alan Shearer pull out of Motd too in solidarity

 

[moochedit]

This whole row just means far more people are now aware of his tweets. The barbra streisand effect

 

[ruffneck23]

Good man.

 

[steveo87]

I'll be genuinely gutted if Mark Chapman (the radio DJ, not John Lennon's biggest fan) steps in, he seems sound.

I wonder are Jim Shite and Simon Jordan under contract at Talkshite?

 

[Orang Utan]

They should get that Guy Goma in

 

[Ax^]

someone throw Farage, a fiver he'll do it

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm still holding out hope for someone taking on the job, and then staging a walkout as soon as the theme tune ends.

I'm not expecting it, but fuck it, if sport has taught me anything it's that it's all still possible until it ain't

 

[danny la rouge]

Alex Scott also out.

 

[Looby]

Chappers had better not!

 

[Ax^]

wait for john liddle in the sun tomorrow trying to explain how the woke leftist cabal cancelled match of the day

They'll have to do an "embarrassing u-turn" now surely. I do hope so. Spin some shite about clear the air talks.

 

[8ball]

Laurence Fox is yet to comment…

 

[Ted Striker]

 

[Lord Camomile]

Time for Tub O'Lard to make a gracious return?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Laurence Fox is yet to comment…

How would you know if he had? The poor man has been silenced! SILENCED!!

 

[ruffneck23]

It's getting quite fun now.

Apart from the fascism obvs.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Lineker works a reference into his intro. Welcoming all the viewers to the show wherever they're watching? There are a few ways he could do it without them being able to say a damn thing.

The most interested I’ve been in Match of the Day since ever.

[Bingoman]

Will Alex Scott still present football focus?

 

[Sasaferrato]

Lineker can go any time he likes, sooner the better. He is paid over a million quid of extorted money, to talk shit about football. This is obscene.
