Gary Lineker has said he believes the BBC wanted him to leave Match of the Day

[ilikecarling]

He's been a fantastic host on MOD with good insight and also the playful and jokey way he took the p**s out of other ex pro's on the show. He did comment on other things political that, in the end, forced the BBC's hand but I personally will be sad to see him go. UTM

Forced his own hand, the bbc should have got shut the first time they had chance but didn?t. Serves himself right for sticking his beak into affairs that are a major concern with the majority of motd,s viewers.

As a host he?s very good and makes watching major tournaments better with his insight so hope he keeps on with those.

Independent thinker who yes referring to women getting raped and babies getting murdered as that Gaza thing.
If that?s an independent thinker thankfully I have a greater sense of what?s right and wrong.
I really do question people?s morals and ethical values at times.
He?s a first class champagne socialist with no sense of morality.

I've looked for the "Gaza thing" quote you referenced in order to understand the context, but can't find it. Perhaps you could put a link up.

I think this interview answers your last point;

Yes fair enough he probably did force his own hand, but we do agree on him being a good football host. UTM

The hamas thing he referred to apologies not the Gaza thing.
Trivialising the murder of people and babies and raping of women.
There are other links where he was asked why he trivialised it and he just says I?ve got nothing more to say.
We all know why.
A terrorist organisation trivialised as the hamas thing. Shameful but not surprising.
Then again the left flip flop so much the truth becomes their narrative at the time.
Eg Starmer on what a woman is. 🤣🤣😃 flip flop left.

"The vast majority of people love the BBC".

He's living in the past.

So linekar didn?t say it then?
Of course he did but but but he wouldn?t dismiss all those atrocities has a thing would he?
He sure did.
Like I said it?s all about people?s morals and ethics.
Some have them some don?t it?s only babies though so no harm done.
Despicable.
You focussing on who posted the clip rather than what was said shows where you sit on this it?s just babies and children right.

Top bloke Lineker. Fair play to him in calling out genocide, ethnic cleansing and IDF atrocities.

Shame the BBC won't apply the same principles to Gaza as they do to Ukraine.

Netanyahu is a bigger war criminal than Putin.

It's nothing to do with left wing it's about international law.

Starvation on a mass scale happening now.
Ben Gvir encouraged by Trump this week to bomb food distribution units.
Water supplies cut off.
Medics and doctors routinely tortured and killed
Kids targeted and killed by drones
All hospitals bombed
Ethnic cleansing openly discussed.
etc. etc.

If you and your ilk were so concerned about the raping and killing of women and babies you'd be up in arms about what's happening in Gaza. Unless you think it's a justified response to the October 7th atrocities. Do you think that?
