Gary Lineker: BBC football shows in disarray after presenters and pundits pull out



The BBC’s Saturday football coverage has been upended after a host of star names pulled out of the shows in the wake of the Gary Lineker Twitter controversy.

Football Focus has been taken off-air after Alex Scott stood down while Radio 5 Live’s Fighting Talk is also not being aired, and Final Score appears to have been replaced.

Several presenters and pundits have tweeted their support of Lineker, who was relieved of his Match of the Day presenting duties for criticising the government’s asylum policies.

  1. I worked for the bbc as a security guard, and was deemed to have embarrassed the bbc.I was forced to resign before I was sacked
    Guess Gary linekar hasn’t embarrassed them as much as me

  2. 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.

  3. We briefly interrupt this episode to announce the latest scores of the big match. Lineker-1, BBC-Nil. It all started off a bit rowdy, but Lineker had plenty of support from colleagues throughout, with the BBC scoring an own goal and groveling over their poor performance.

  4. All those champagne socialist, woke TV-land "presenters" standing in solidarity with fellow hypocrite Lineker should take note that the left has murdered and committed genocide against millions and millions more people than the right ever has throughout history… Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Hit ler (remember, Hit ler was a nationalist SOCIALIST)! How cretinous of Lineker and all his lefty luvvies to compare nationalist socialist Germany to Suella Braverman's entirely sensible and reasonable plan to deal with illegal young male economic migrants!

  5. The fact that the BBC couldn't put out a SPORTS show because technical staff supported Lineker's ill thought out, extreme left-wing nonsense shows just how much militant left-wing extremism has infiltrated the corporation at every level. Apart from the chairman. The whole stinking corporation is a disgrace and needs to collapse, people are being taxed to pay for other people's extreme political opinions.

  6. Free speech yay! But who of them speaks for our own needy? None of them that's for sure. If i were in charge i would sack the lot of them and get some people of the streets to do there job and save m illions.
    But the Bias Bonkers Club would never do that.

  7. Suspending Lineker was the right move, as a "journalist" (even though it is exclusively sports) Lineker should know better than to make such a disingenuous comparison. Until England begin the process of genocide and mass extermination, it is beyond hyperbolic to invoke the evils of 1930s Germany.

  8. Lineker thinks he is too important and can ignore the BBC's policy that includes all those who work for the BBC should keep their personnel opinions TO THEM SELVES !!!! The BBC should SACK HIM IMMEDIATELY for the highly offensive SLUR he made about Hitlers Germany in the 1930's and the policy of our democratically elected Government. There are a million people out there that would do Linekers job for a fraction of the RIP OFF PAYMENT he gets and save ME the licence payer a fortune

  9. The longer this goes on the more it leans towards GL's political interference which is exactly why the BBC must act to ensure it doesn't happen again. GL has politicised the BBC. Labour supporters are blaming the conservatives of course when the reality is that the BBC must protect it's impartiality. All those other presenters who supposedly joined GL in solidarity actually had no choice because they are paid by GL's production company.

  10. I was hoping now the over paved pundits are off they could just show football,as I always tape show as can't be bothered with there blah blah,and good time to get rid off the over paid,and get a new and curled generation to talk football.

  11. T Davie at the BBC is a disgusting dishonest creep and the BBC has never been "Impartial" under him. His orders from an even more (we believe) dishonest Conservative MPs (J Hunt) should be concentrating on helping the UK taxpayer instead of trying to silence freedom of speech and exposing MPs for their borderline criminal activities.

    FACT: BBC news have been nothing except a form of inaccurate entertainment whereby no real factual content is delivered and attempts to pull on the emotions of its viewers, sacrificing real facts of global news… Keep going Gary and all his fellow presenters, who’ve done more for the UK people then any conservative party ever could!
