Boicot.
Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
They might... or they might not. The way some are going on about this however is like its a slam dunk and there is no doubt.
Interesting. As most pointed out on the thread, the website mentions six episodes.
Although BBC also said Lineker stepped down...
You haven't missed much.
Still, stupid BBC. This is like the time Gordon Brown was attacked for calling a bigoted woman a bigot.
Turns out Asylum Seekers really do take your jobs.
Yeah, even though she’s an arsenal fan but she is alright. Let her snort her coke and keep her. She’s doing just fine.
This is a new low. As an Iranian, this is the exact playbook of what the Islamic republic does. Our version of Lineker (Adel Ferdosipour) also got banned for criticising the government.
Twats. The two things combined are absolutely ridiculous. This doesn't exactly scream impartiality to me.
Is it okay if I put up a video evidence?
UK is starting become like that film children of men, censorship disgusting. Tories are special, they are getting away so much now it's absurd.
Jenas the face of football, lovely bland choice. Sure the nation can't wait for motd now. Poor Gary Lineker, don't be questioning authority again by the looks of it.

I am not surprised by recent developments in the UK. The nation is dominated by people who are happy to be ruled and a handful who are happy to take advantage of it.
As if we need an excuse to perv over Laura WoodsIs it okay if I put up a video evidence?
Whoever does appear on MOTD tomorrow will get absolutely torn to bits.
Will probably be Jenas hosting with Ben Thatcher and Mart Poom.
Seems like a good opportunity to overhaul a tired show. I rarely watch it anymore. 4 mins of highlights followed by 6 mins of talking about whatever ref decision they found controversial.
Quick fire highlights of all the games of the day. You may not like the punditry in between but how can you not see the point?!
Haven't watched it for alteast 15 years now. Don't see the point or attraction.
Surprised its still going tbh.
The occasional Saturday when United win and two of our rivals lose and you get to watch it all in a row: that’s stunning.
Feels like a huge miscalculation by the cnut Tories.
Feels like a big backlash is brewing.

The BBC shouldn't even have football. Leave it to private TV.
If the last few years have made anything clear, its that both sides of the political divide only advocate for free speech when its speech that they want to hear. If the speech is against what I want to hear it should clearly be banned.
Cannot wit to vote this stain out of government.
This is a mad post.
Also Ian Wright just seems a top bloke. He almost makes the idea of Arsenal winning the title seem bearable.
The evidence is pretty substantial.
The Qatari monologue was political, so is this. The only difference is that the former took place on live television with permission from the paymasters from the Conservative Party.
in a thread of bad takes this is a very bizarre one.
That's the first thing I thought, the double standard is hilarious.
I'm not convinced it is but I haven't looked into it deeply. Nor have most of the people here it seems. We had someone saying that they removed a 6th episode because of a potential backlash and the BBC themselves saying that it wasn't actually part of the series and was a "bonus". Its available on iPlayer.
These are all opinions. You are entitled to yours but please stop pretending that your opinion is fact.
They'll do their best to censor that too
Yes Wrighty.
I hope the BBC get shit over this. The hypocrisy to dig their heels in over Lineker merely tweeting about something, when the fecking head of the BBC has donated millions to the Tory party…

Alan Sugar was explicitly telling people to vote for the Conservatives in the last election and that was fine for the BBC.
Dont like TV licenses huh?
Jenas right now...
If you've not looked into it deeply how can you be sure others haven't?
Words for the sake of words.
Private companies like Sky and BT do great with football. There's a private market for it.
Why do we need it on publicly funded TV, doesn't make any sense.
Fair enough. Agree to disagree but appreciate you debating it in good faith nonetheless.
Are you trying to wind people up or are you just genuinely clueless?
Public TV is good because it can do things commercial TV can't.
Like documentaries and other commercially risky TV.
No idea why football is on it, madness.
So people who can't afford sports subscriptions can watch the national sport, perhaps?
The problem with the BBC not taking action it would have loaded up the anti-bbc press such as the Torygraph and the Daily sieg heil and it would be front page news for the next weeks.
I mean even the BBC are reporting this as the lead story rather than than the actual bullshit new laws drawn by the Tories.

The most popular sport in the country shouldn’t be free to air?
