Gary Lineker steps down from MOTD

[cruzFOX]

Seems like haters always gonna hate. For what it’s worth I’m with Lineker. He’s expressed an honest opinion and all the bbc had to say was Gary is entitled to his freedom of speech and does not represent the view of the BBC which will remain impartial in these matters. Instead it’s made a dogs dinner of this and will eventually lose the end game. 

 

I’ll always be thankful to Lineker for helping to save our club and always wearing his true blue colors a proud Leicester lad as we all are.

I’m going to read every page of the Brendan Rodgers thread until this all blows over.

I was going to suggest this but presumed it was a contractual obligation in consideration of what the clubs receive but I suppose if there’s no exact stipulation then an unused sub or assistant coach, with all due respect to their roles, could be the clubs token gesture interviewee. Or Filbert?

Oh please let this happen.

 

Put up a strange character whose only purpose is to amuse children and those with simple minds...

Chelsea could have David Mellor!

Now, more than ever, we need our dynamic and charismatic England captain to step up and show leadership and solidarity with Gary Lineker.

I can only imagine it was one of 3 things insaw last time I went

1. Just off the centre there was a huge road full of tents with I'm aiming were Syrian refugees (I went just after the last big invasion when Russia got involved and displaced huge numbers of them)

2. The large number of black men (mainly around Eiffel) selling tat which wasn't a thing so much 15 years ago, but are very common in most European cities now and always been common in beach resorts 

3. The amount of tourist scammers around like the friendship bracelet scams, petition girls, magic tricks ect which have been around for decades

 

Either way, he was probably trying to imply it was a immigration issue, completely disregarding the close ties France has with its previously colonial past and links with a lot of African nations (hence why there is a lot of Algerian, Mali ect people in France and strong African ties to their national team)

 

But nah, for the sake of that clown let's say the whole of Paris is a migrant super city ragghhh

Yes because that sort of knowledge would imply some level of education.

 

Also when applied to the UK provides a clear illustration as to why not every asylum seeker decides to stop in the first safe country they land upon (although most do)  but instead, that country they feel most affiliated to be it through history, culture, family etc, even if that journey becomes more lengthy and dangerous because of that. 

 

Billions of them in fact...

Be using the World feed ones.

 

Not surprised Simon Jordan disagrees with Lineker and co.

 

He is probably a Tory?

Not sure if he’s a Tory, but he’s definitely an arsehole 

[fazzyfox]

What with all the cheating, VAR and s****ness of officials, its getting in from the pub slot and the absence of any post match analysis a lot of people are going to be a bit confused as to what the f*** they’ve just watched. There’s a certain coldness to the Sky highlights where you can have the biggest of controversies but the final whistle comes and credits roll (like being there you may say), no interpretations, opinions or focused reflection of the true narrative of what we’ve just seen, yes highlights mean highlights, short, snappy, bite sized best bits but the lack of anyone calling the decisions to order when they’ve clearly influenced the result in many of the games is going to be odd. Ironically it’s the kind of unquestioned matter of fact presentation that Gary would be so against.

I really think the club should consider making a stand and refusing to play tomorrow's game, purely out of solidarity and for no other reason

Should go further. Cancel the rest of the season in protest and all clubs finish in their current places.

People are probably a bit tired of the endless VAR decisions chat so might come as a light relief to not have any.

I quite like Simon Jordan but he’s on the wrong side of the argument here.

That doesn't sound like a fascist government at all

You’re right and everyone can get to bed an hour earlier without it!

Look at how many Tories at top of BBC. Could you imagine the furore if there were that many Labour equivalent instead

To all the bigoted picks crying over "cAnCeL cUlTuRe":

 

THIS is what infringement of free speech looks like. 

[filbertway]

Mad world where an opinion results in job losses. Nothing new though. Le tiss had the same. Nasty culture were living in now where you're literally forced into having a certain opinion or your livlihood is at stake.

Best thing the club ever did was take his name off the north stand, embarrassment to Leicester.

Must of forgot the part where he dipped into his own pocket to help stop us going under. The man is a Leicester City legend in every sense of the word
