Sack him and replace him with Micah Richards or Jermaine Jenas* (who already hosts The One Show)
Too many old white men hosting MOTD down the years, they need to be more inclusive. That's how the BBC could spin it 😃
*I'd prefer Micah personally. More personality

If he gets sacked I'm sure they can find someone else to introduce football matches for quite a lot less of our money.

Not really read into his posts as he’s a tit but sick to death of people keep referring to others as Nazis, if it’s not him blabbering on its the other tit Neville.

He's right. He didn't say they were Nazis, he said the language used is not too dissimilar to that used by the Nazis.
It's a policy aimed to distract from the real issues and divert people's attention away from the absolute f*ck up they're making of this country.

And given the fuss it's caused compared to, say, the NHS crisis, people's inability to heat their homes, the colossal amount of money lost to fraud and incompetence around Covid, the lack of food in supermarkets, the strikes, shit in rivers, etc etc, the government must be absolutely delighted. Job done. If only they'd spend as much time, effort and resource in dealing with those things instead of providing a deflection for the hard of thinking, we might actually be better placed as a nation. It's amusing to see how much those who like to convince themselves their 'sport' is to provoke 'wokies' have been absolutely enraged by this!

I'm no fan of Lineker but he's been deliberately misquoted by politicians and the media.............

On a side note, how many times do you need to see the name of one of the most well-known footballers this country's ever produced to be able to spell it correctly?!
It's like when we were managed by Tony Pullis.

Lineker is free to say what he likes on Twitter, and the Beeb are free to show him the door if they’re not comfortable with it. If he was a Westminster correspondent or news anchor, or even if he was making a sport-related political point (such as he did over Qatar), I’d understand the interest. As it is, this is a non-story.

He can say what he wants away from the bbc umbrella You don’t have to always agree with him but he’s still got that right Just as we have the right to say he’s talking bollocks at times Don't most of us have some clause in our works contract about bringing the company's name into disrepute though? He's a freelancer isn't he, he doesn't have to be given any more work. And spell his surname correctly on the title

Nothing to do with this subject BUT
It’s amazing how those who rigorously defend the right of free speech when it’s Trump etc don’t like it when it’s not something they agree with
Fuckin hypocrisy

And I think that was the point prestwich was making too. It was basically the entire raison d'etre of the Cancel Culture thread too, ironically! It's quite funny to watch

Yet Donald Trump had one of the biggest pedophiles in recent history imprisoned with staff watching him 24 hours a day, and yet the man somehow mysteriously dies in his cell. And this is a pedo that Trump was known to be very friendly with throughout the 90s with logs of multiple flights of trump visiting his islands. Imagine if Epstein died in a cell under Biden or Obamas watch. But when it's trump his supporters don't even bat an eye lid despite the clear history between Trump and Epstein.

Nothing to do with the comments as I believe people should be able to say as they wish within reason but I've never liked the narcissistic twat. Just another look at me stunt to keep himself relevant as far as I can see. His presenting work is toss and the BBC could do with a new presenter anyway but they are that far up his arse it won't happen unfortunately.

I'll not say which incase I annoy a sensitive soul.
