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

All the ones who are non-contract, replace them with people who are willing to take their highly paid jobs. I'm sure there will be loads of applicants. That includes Linekar, Scott, Mohammed. They are disrupting the routine and lives of millions of people.

If Linekar has broken the guidelines, he should be sanctioned appropriately. The others are withdrawing their services. Who suffers? Us.

someone on here actually thought this was going to mean extra content and no punditry lol - I did try to explain it won't but he/she still didn't believe me

The PFA has also told all players not to speak to the BBC and I believe managers are doing the same.

So it’s going to be about 3 minutes of highlights per game. No commentary at all because the BBC doesn’t have the rights to the world feed, and no post match reaction.

@cleavers still think it’s better?
 
MOTD tonight cut down to a 20 minute highlights programme. Just goes to show that the usual run time of 1 hour plus, is bulked up by Lineker and his mates talking shit and treating the viewers like cretins.

It's not been a good programme since the days of Jimmy Hill and Kenneth Wolstenholme.

I think the PFA said they would support members who don't want to give interviews - if so its an important distinction as its the players own decision to freeze the Beeb out.

As for 20 minutes I have had shits that have taken longer

It’s not just the punditry, it’s the post match interviews that go too.

On your last point, with your username I’d expect you to have that opinion! :)

I remember when everyone played in black, grey, and white on a grey pitch, and the cameraman usually missed at least one goal per match.

I've never cared what (supposedly impartial) footballers think about a game. To be honest I'm not particularly bothered what players or managers have to say for themselves on camera, beyond "The ball came across and I hit it into the net" or "I've just opened a boutique Brian". (Credit to Monty Python for that one)

Show me good moves, saves, goals and sending offs, and move on to the next game. The BBC is obsessed with spending our money on 'celebrity' hangers on like Shearer and Co.
 
These pundits and commentators really need a reality check, do they really think people care if they are not around?? People want the football coverage, take for instance next Tuesday I would say most here switch on at the start of the game, off at HT then at full time onto here, they are really not needed.
 
After creaming the most financially of any sports pundit working for the BBC, he's now looked at his bank balance and decided to do a Gary Neville and test the water as a politician.
Just give me the football I pay towards without the moral high ground please
