Not that it should have needed a solution in the first place I assume it’s created friction between the BBC and the Tories who complained that action needed to be taken against Lineker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Thank god they've resolved this as swiftly as possible, not sure how we would all manage without Gary's incredible presenting skills and million pound plus salary on the books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can go back to watching them destroy the other areas of the country like the NHS, Schools and plunging more people into poverty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted March 13, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 That's clear win for Lineker, as evidenced by those tweets - rubbing it in by keeping up the commentary about sympathy for refugees. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Yeah I like that response from Lineker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 Fair play to Lineker he has stood his ground here when, even though he was right, lesser people would have folded and towed the line. I love how he has used his response to being reinstated to again mention the people that really mattered in all this OTT furore - the refugees. I imagine there were a number of Tories and right wing snowflakes seething when reading that and going a lovely shade of pink. I have a huge amount of respect for Lineker. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the second week in a row his attempt to recover his popularity in the polls has been absolutely drowned out of the news cycle. First week it was Matt Hancock and last week Lineker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2023 Fair play Gary. I think he's OK at presenting MOTD after a terrible start in his early day. Christ even Danny Murphy is pleasant to watch when you've got Keane and Souness pontificating on Sky He's obviously a principled guy and stood his ground and exposed some serious issues at They BBC which hopefully some good can come out from. And he's ensured the refugee plight message remains strong. Well done Gary. He's not your typical ex footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
