I used to, years ago. Generally, I'd be more likely to watch it, if there was no presenter, and no pundits. No studio. Just highlights, and if required, a voice over person, saying which match is next etc. Kathcairns, 1967Ram, cstand and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Aw, I might have watched if it was Alex Scott. I can't believe anyone gives a toss about who does these pundit segments. Back when I used to watch it, it would be on a Sunday morning and I'd fast forward "he'll be happy with that win" insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I wonder how many people actually watch MOTD specifically as Lineker presents it. Would be interested to see whoever they get for tomorrow's show the relative viewing figures. Hopefully won't be much of a difference so Beeb realise they are getting crap value for money out of Lineker and bin him anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineker isn't employed directly either, he's a freelance contractor. Would imagine there is still a difference though as Alan Sugar will have sold the show to the BBC.

Tyler Durden Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Lot of absolute ignorance on Twitter about Lineker being entitled to say what he wants outside of his job - or probably because it furthers the narrative they want to choose to progress. Read some very uninformed comments along the lines of if Lineker made the comments presenting MOTD then that would be wrong but as he's done then outside of work then there's nothing wrong with that. Shows a total ignorance of employment law. Lineker receives money from the BBC therefore he has a contract with them therefore they can reasonably insist he winds his neck in posting comments on social media which go against their impartiality stance. Pretty clear and simple. Certain folks are making more of it than it warrants to have a sly dig at the Tory party- they need to get their heads out of their behinds.

He can't take the money then say this doesn't then exist so he doesn't have to abide by his employers rules - by the very fact he is accepting the BBCs money there is also an implied contract that he also has to abide by their rules.

I think the whole thing stinks. Especially when you think that supposed hardened journalists like Fiona Bruce & Laura Kussenberg have been giving The Tories an easy ride for years, and as for Andrew Neil… I bet all these bitter & twisted gammons, clutching at their pearls, demanding he was taken off the air, were dancing in the streets when he slotted in the equaliser against Germany at Italia 90.

Sir Alan Sugar has been a part of BBC programming for the best part of 20 years and heavily represented in its branding across the world. If there is a difference in impartiality, representation and social media responsibility then it still shows the discrepancy of what one can do over the other.

cstand Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Reading this it’s getting worse for Lineker. If he has used the comments about illegal migrants just to get back at his employers for not footing the bill for his legal defence to avoid paying taxes he deserves to hung dry. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/gary-lineker-tax-clash-bbc-paying-legal-fees-2201702 Edited March 10, 2023 by cstand therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
