Lineker leaving MOTD

[HolisticJim]

Lineker has been really good in fairness. End of an era.

Please please please do not have a perminant female presenter for mens football! Fuck no.
I do not need it rammed down my throat.

Nor should they include women's football highlights within the show outside of maybe a 'segment'.

They dont need a presenter, it is a redundant position, they did it without a presenter when lineker had his little tantrum and it did just fine and it would going forward, pundits are entirely unnecessary and bring so little to the table, i can see the game and there has never been and never will be a time where some idiot ex footballer sheds light and comes up with anything that hasnt already been seen, the only reason they are there now is to tell us what to think about the game and push a narrative.

An awful lot of people don’t agree with you though. That’s why it’s one of the most watched programmes on BBC1.

It’s still a very popular show in its current format, despite all the competition.

I like Lineker a lot and can't understand the grief he gets.

I never knew he was Black though

Specsavers for me.:-)

Common knowledge round our way.

People will watch it regardless of the smug twat who currently hosts it. It's just a thing growing up in this country, you watch MOTD. Once the smug **** leaves it will still be watched in big numbers.

Always liked Gary, comes across as a decent man and is very fair to City. I will miss him being on Match of the Day.

It had its highest ratings ever when they showed it with no pundits, the show is fine just saying the pundits arent vital to it
