i actually like the analysis on the game, it helps me to understand football in more depth and also help me pick players for my FF.

If you want that there are far far far better sources. The MOTD analysis is pretty poor.

I don't think people should be banned for opinion...
Although there is rank hypocrisy when it comes to certain views and certain political persuasions. The BBC... does anyone really care? I love sport but rarely watch MOTD, like most things on "normal" TV, it's just a bit dated now.
As for Linekar, total buffoon, elite hypocritical buffoon stuck in his bubble....but should he be allowed an opinion.. yeh.
I just can't believe it's actually major news...

BARB overnight figures are in. MOTD last night got half a million more viewers than last Saturday.
So much for viewers lining up in solidarity with the pundits.

It's call car crash TV, people tune in to see what the fuss is about.
Negative stuff gets more attention.

Yea, it was obviously going to get more views, I said that last night, it's just the same as rubber necking.
Hell, I have little interest in football and I flicked over to MotD to see what it would be like. Agree with the pretty soulless comments above.
Yeah, I think people had been waiting for it to air with comments like that prepped in their mind, I'm one of them, but the reality was I thought it could have been better. It's the human nature sort of thing where on face value something is a 'catastophe' but people are desperate to say how much better it is after the forced change. Like with the lockdowns, some people saying how much better it was than pre-pandemic (and I don't doubt for some people in niche situations it did help them).
For sure though I don't believe the BBC needs to pay these huge sums for talent, they don't get advertising revenue from the domestic market so why bother paying Lineker £1.5m/year or whatever, just get someone else to do it for £250k. Maybe they are successful and join ITV/Sky/BT on more money, you just replace them with someone else.

My goodness this whole thing is hilarious. Then BBC have found a great way to save some money.
and remind Alex Scott that the BBC have effectively built her media career over the last few years. Shearer is no loss and Wright is more an ITV man anyway. Those employed by the BBC and refusing to appear should be reminded who actually pays their salaries and told to get back to work.

Absolutely fine in the Fourth Reich for Fiona Bruce to hand wave away domestic abuse because it's a tory toff involved though. No problems there, depite her being an "ambassador" for domestic abuse...absolutely fine that the tax payer funded national broadcaster has been the publicity arm of the tory Fourth Reich for over a decade...
I wonder if GL would have been taken off air had he supported the facists policy?
The BBC is an absolute ******* disgrace and if you're funding it then you're funding state propaganda and the Fourth Reich tories.

Trump and Johnson are no longer around, Just Stop Oil have gone pretty quiet, Covid is all but a memory and Russia/Ukraine has become fairly static. News has to talk about something and with all the above no longer getting the publics interest, the BBC v Lineker will do for now in their eyes until something more interesting comes along.
Step away from the lager shandy maybe and have a lie down before you blow a fuse ?
