Gary Lineker is Going !!! Who is the M.O.T,D Replacement???

Post by Musicman1965 »

After Years of spouting absolute garbage on the BBC.
The crisp eating, asylum loving, money grabbing twat is finally leaving our screens to find a knew woke venture he
can grasp with both ears.
This leaves a vacancy for host for...... Match of the Day...
Any ideas or will the B.B.C run true to form and give it another prick. :roflmao:

Good, we won't have to suffer him when we are back in the Prem.

He can take his mates with him too!

"Folks, can you believe it? Gary Lineker, the crisp guy – great guy, very British, people say he's like their me – leaving Match of the Day after the World Cup right here in America.

The Walker's Crisps King, gone! This guy made eating potato chips – or crisps, as they call them – something huge, almost as big as my ratings, okay? People are saying he was the best, and it’s probably true. But now, he's stepping away, and I’ll tell you, England will never be the same without him.

It’s like if Lay's lost its best chip ambassador! The BBC, which honestly doesn’t know talent when it’s staring them in the face, better wake up – they’re going to miss him, bigly. This is a HUGE moment.

Took over from Des, who was a great guy, could have been from central casting, but it was the moustache that did it... so wrong. Now Gary will be gone and it has nothing to do with facial hair... it's because he's gone woke... gone broke.

Hellava guy, but past his sell by date just like those chips crisps, or whatever those Limeys call them... who cares, I think Katie Hopkins should get the job... now there's a gal with a gob, she would have my backing"

I would like rotational presenters like on ‘Have I got news for you’.

Although I rarely watch it these days, but that will change if we go up.

This is marvellous news. I absolutely loathe him.

I really wish MOTD would go back to the style it had in the 90's, where
they just showed the match highlights and there were no pundits giving
their analysis afterwards.

Jermaine Jenas would have been the most likely replacement before he was sacked but I expect Mark Chapman will get it.

Why’s that then, Foxy……….I like Chappers (even though he’s a Man U fan, apparently).

In fact I don’t share the seeming hatred for Gary L that a lot of others seem to have.

My dislike is directed at and saved for Micah Richard’s and his seemingly, continual false laugh 😡

Not sure Cat. Just gets on my wick for some reason.
He seems to be on every channel atm.
I suppose anything is better than the current boys club. Shearer probably the most irritating of the lot tbh.
But like DDB I dont watch it very often and if I do I record it so I can whizz through the nonsense.

Hope Colin Murray gets the job, but don't think he will.
Think it will be Gabby Logan or Alex Scott.

Haven't watched Match of the Day since Leeds were relegated.

you can usually watch the highlights pretty easily online somewhere - the only reason to watch MOTD over the highlights on say youtube is for the analysis

I'm certain they cn get any old herbert at a fraction of the cost what they paid that sanctimonious twat to spout his tripe.
Best watching manc of the day on sunday morning
A. I can then remember watching it
B. Cut through all the drivel and just watch the games.

Live in Canada so never watch it
In today’s society wouldn’t bet against a female
Not saying this as a sexist comment by any means and there may be one as capable.

He won't share the presenting.

You can bet the PC diversity officer at the BBC will be all over this with a fine tooth comb.

I'll predict RuPaul with on screen pro nouns.

Being the BBC it needs to be a DEI hire like Eddie Izzard... hiring a female is so yesterdays news.
