Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

No commentators either.

Should be an 'interesting' watch.

There will be, just not usual BBC staff

No football focus today?

Lineker will walk into another job on the BT or Sky channels, so will his ponies that have backed him,
MOTD been dead for years and who would miss it anyway, you get all the highlights a couple of mins after the games have finished on the Internet,

Football and politics don't mix and once you cross each other's boundaries you get into this sort of trouble,

That Portillo should fuck off too with his trains and his right wing rhetoric…

BBC enforcing its impartiality rules......not

To be fair, it seems like Sugar is supporting Lineker in this one.

An interesting one in the replies.

Ignoring the clear takeover of the top of BBC by Tory shills, how can anyone who oversaw the shambles that is GB News get a job as the Director of News for the BBC? It'd be like someone going to a Michelin starred restaurant with Burger King on their CV and being given the head chef job.

Some big foreheads on display here.

Normally Saturdays for me can be Football Focus and 5 Live flitting between the two. I won't go down the Talkshite route so for the first time ever I will have SSN on telly all afternoon - thats what the BBC have done to themselves - driven away people who follow sports on their coverage platforms and for what?

Add the BBC to the long list of public services that the Tories don't give a shit about ruining.

Talentless bastard jumps on the nearest bandwagon shocker!!

Not really. For once this isn’t about who he used to play for. There’s a groundswell of support for Lineker, why should Dublin’s mean less.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

If you're not interested in the punditry, why would you even watch it? You can get the match highlights without any opinion online in two seconds.

Amazon offer the option of just stadium sound. It’s total fucking heaven.
If that’s not available I watch foreign language commentary usually BeIN Premium 1 - it’s in Arabic.
Shame people are trying to shoehorn Big Ears‘ comments into this thread - whatever anyone’s views there’s a separate thread for that (thank fuck)
