[gru]

Simon Cowell should have been jailed for his crimes to music! Lineker Shearer top players both up themselves if beeb got shut of them they'd get somewhere else no doubt. Lineker used to be on BT football not sure if he's still on that.

Lineker is freelance so he can work for whoever wants him.his podcast with Alistair Campbell is probably what’s driving him putting out his views.

Just show the highlights, you don't "pundits" laughing at their own in-jokes, people fast-forward through them anyway.

Out of interest, Would you be saying the same if he’d posted that we should send the boat people back to where they came?

He'd have been sacked for saying that, not suspended.

Ok.

In that case I’m surprised you’re not backing him for standing up to the BBC and their ‘mock’ impartiality claims.

Good point

But basically if you take the money you follow the rules

That might actually happen this week if everyone else refuses to go on in solidarity.

Oh definitely, but then the people criticising him now would probably be defending him.

Shame shearer and Wright didn’t boycott the World cup because of there principles.
Not sure why they didn’t can’t quite put my finger on it.

I’m not really a big fan of Lineker but I think fair play to him for sticking to his principles instead of making a fake grovelling apology just to make sure the money keeps rolling in.
