The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

No one with any dignity will appear tomorrow

Scott knows full well she’d get rape and death threats if she stepped in.

 

[stan bowles]

Hoping motd will just be highlights with no studio discussion. Pretty much what Brian clough said it should be 40 years ago.
I'm sure if the BBC can't reach an agreement with ethical Gary, he'll manage to get a job with sky for more money

Started going shit when they poached Jimmy Hill off ITV back in the 70s and it started becoming a discussion programme with more chit chat than action of the game. Lineker's on 1.3 million (previously over 2 million till he accepted a pay cut), Shearer must be on well over six figures and Wrighty probably same. Clough had it right....far too much yakety-yak and not enough football.

 

[Barcon]

Haha. That's great. Good on him.

 

[urban genie]

So everyone who wants Lineker sacked was fine with Le Tissier being sacked? Or other people posting right-wing propaganda? Should Alan Sugar lose his job or is he OK because he’s not left-wing?

Free speech only goes one way, it seems. I thought cancelling people was a bad thing but it looks like it’s OK now.

What was LeTiss sacked from? his comments came long after he lost his soccer saturday job, and he has been on GB news and other things since.

Scott knows full well she’d get rape and death threats if she stepped in.

In other words a normal gig.

[SJT]

MOTD has run its course anyway - let's have this instead

 

[urban genie]

Whoever does actually present it this weekend will be in for a barrage of abuse on Twitter I guarantee it.

Any who may appear are already being branded Scabs

 

[RayCTID]

Any who appear are already being branded Scabs

Or government apologists.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Perfect excuse for the BBC to ditch motd at the end of the current deal and claw back the vast amount of money it costs

 

[Eccles Blue]

It's going to be a panel of Paddy Crerand, John Aldridge and Danny Mills, with Collymore as presenter.

I've just been sick!! Thank goodness I've cancelled my automatic recording.

 

[burning blue soul]

Hold up!!!! I've had an idea!

 

[xgorton]

Thank fack I don't give one penny to this Tory rag institution.

 

[Don Karleone]

Will be very surprised if Micah appears as he often does the Top 10 MOTD programme with Linekar and Shearer.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

That's a mistake Micah. Misplaced loyalty.

 

[Eccles Blue]

It'll be Mark Chapman, Danny Murphy and Micah Richards

Micah would go down in my estimation if he did. Mark Chapman not so much because he is employed by the BBC and probably can't say no. And Murphy is a nonentity as far as I'm concerned so I usually turn the sound down when he is on or fast forward.

 

[WestGorton]

Well done Micah.

 

[bennyboy]

Any who may appear are already being branded Scabs

Good.

I mostly use streaming services for everything these days anyway.

Aside for The Repair Shop and The Apprentice (though Eurovision is coming up) I don't watch the Beeb.

The David Attenborough natural history progs are superb, a one coming on sunday about the british isles.
