O/T:- So who prefers MOTD without pundits etc now?

[sidders]

I haven’t watched MOTD in years… years and years. I can honestly say, hand on heart, I have no idea who won the Premiership last season or the seasons before. I simply don’t give a fcuk about plastic football and the money men or the people who never watch live football.

Interesting comments, Grantham. So does this mean you would hate it and stop attending if Notts were to aspire to Premier League status?

The sheer nastiness on here towards Lineker has me puzzled. He clearly has the respect of people like Ian Wright and you can see that when he interviews high profile people within the game he has their respect too. I also think he's good at what he does, which is compering a football show. But yes, I would agree that he is paid an obscene sum but then that's football for you. So is it an element of jealousy at his wealth and a resentment of the permasmile?

I think as it was in the news it gathered much more attention so more people tuned in.

I put it on for about 1 minute so I would be classed as a viewer when I didn’t watch the whole programme.

End of the day Lineker is freelance and it is obvious the BBC have nothing on him so can’t sack him.

They can wait till his and the others contracts run out and not renew them this could happen like it did with Soccer Saturday on Sky which is sh*t now.

What is likely to happen in future is BBC workers will have to sign a contract that says what they can/can’t do or say.

Lineker is smug but he has been proven to be right on this.
