The BBC’s flagship Football Focus show has been taken off-air after host Alex Scott and the programme’s pundits said they would not take part in support of Gary Lineker.
The corporation announced on Friday that Lineker would be «stepping back» as host of Match of the Day after he tweeted criticism of the government’s asylum policy, in contravention of the BBC’s impartiality rules.

Tim Davie should resign from BBC and Richard Sharp because these two are not impartial
Cry cry cry babies 👶 😢 😭
#DEFUNDtheBBC
Sack them
Sack them all… Bunch of sheep.
Why do British people say 'drawing' as 'drawring?'
Britain is becoming more fascism no freedom of speech. And racist towards brown immigrants, but families from Ukraine allowed entry automatically because they are white. Western culture is very pervy. They only want woman from countries they will like to have sex with by subjugate them in difficult situation like living conditions.
Bye
The potato leaves the show for a week and football fans / ex players have a melt down 😂
Next week the potato will return with a half baked idea.

Sadly they will be back they all value money more than any principles they pretend to hold
Seems more people watched MOTD last night than ever before, and most fans are glad to see the back of them. GB News broadcast an alternative MOTD – with Mark Dolan and Patrick Christys, who chomped on a packet of Walkers crisps. LOL. The joyous thing is that those other dipstick presenters and so-called 'pundits' have cancelled themselves. Maybe a fresh lot of presenters, who don't think they are so important, will take over. At least it will save the BBC (our taxes) having to fund Jug Ears and the over-rated ex-footballers who were only telling the viewers what they already knew.
Fantastic news, team work at its best.
I watched match of the day, it was so much better without the pundit IDIOTS .
Just think how much the BBC could save without paying the "FOOL" Lineker, and all the other pundits , they should fire them all .
Just don't renew any of their contracts and develop a new format. 99% of them are vastly overpaid anyway.
😿SVB International Fallout: UK and EU Lenders Lose £30 Billion Overnight as ‘Panic’ Spreads, the fallout from the run on the Silicon Valley Bank in California went international overnight, with British and European Union lenders seeing nearly £30 billion wiped off their portfolios and the Bank of England stepping in to take over the insolvency process for the British arm of SVB to protect the deposits of British firms tied to the bank.😻
Just a suggestion but maybe the BBC should inject a little bit of integrity into Match of the Day and appoint Matthew Le Tissier as the front man! Let the hypocritical Lineker and his pals provide commentary in Qatar where they were more aligned with the political dictats.
Sack em all!!!
I like BBC policies on Race equality opportunity and their Discrimination Acts
Football focus is just a platform for woke social constructs,every leftist view gets an airing ,
this is tragic news, a multi millionaire is being supported by other millionaires won't be talking about 22 other millionaires kicking an air filled ball about.It makes wars and earthquakes look unimportant .
SACK THEM ALL
THEY'RE ALL OVERPAID
MIGRANTS WHO ILLEGALLY COME TO THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE SENT STRAIGHT TO RWANDA….MOST OF THEM HAVE PASSED THROUGH OVER 10 SAFE COUNTRIES BEFORE THEY GOT HERE….ANY ONE OF THEM THEY COULD'VE STAYED IN.
THE ONLY REASON THEY ALL WANT TO GET HERE IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR BENEFITS SYSTEM AND TO RISK CRIME AS OUR POLICE AND PRISON SYSTEMS ARNT A DETERRENT.
Did not realise football focus was still going
Nobody watches these shows because of who presents them. Just replace them and move on.
I hope they never come back, football doesn’t need all these people talking, lets have more of the match less of the jibber jabber.
Really enjoyed MOTD on the 11th,just highlights,no talking,20 minutes ! perfect !
They should all be sacked, all of them….
Bbc govt funded propogenda chennel around world
my nephew used to take the young offenders on community service
most of the ages were 12 to 16 with a few up to age 17
he had three 12 year olds who used to wait outside the football clubs
to get autographs, Gary Linekar would never sign and told the boys to F*ck off now.
He has a bad name for how he treats black boys in particular
He heavily criticised his freind TV compere Philip Schofield who was paying
young black boys to urinate over him.
Gary Lineker is well known for being racist.
