Bringing this back sky blue, years ago there was a football pundit who went political / conspiracy theory and ended up with a cult-like following. Now. THIS IS AN EXTREME EXAMPLE (and I’m not comparing to Lineker but just to illustrate) and more for the sake of satire: David Icke. Just...

That’s what Ofcom should be for. Which is why a sports presenter becoming a political commentator with huge reach (partly due to his BBC role) becomes a headache.

*there are those that campaign for open borders. Not saying you are* People crossing on small boats needs to stop. It’s dangerous for the migrants and those that arrive are often exploited by gangs. I hope we agree on this. Political parties in fear of the next election often try to outflank...

If / when Starmer gets in he will appoint a Labour supporting BBC Chief. It’s how it works.

First of all, I’m all for good clean debate. I totally understand you view and position. Social media had à polarising effect. Public opinion amongst those who, say, follow Lineker, Owen Jones, read Guardian articles etc. will be more in favour of Lineker and their Twitter feeds and such will...

Nurses and doctors from India, Canada, Africa, wherever, tend to apply for work visas and background checks. Not many qualified Doctors pay people smugglers and risk their lives coming from France (where they could apply in civic safety). More immigration is necessary with a declining birth...

I agree with much of this. Those on the left often shout loudest. Having been on the BBC locally and nationally both TV and Radio with an amount of regularity one learns that they are very aware of Ofcom and having political balance. FWIW I found many employees of the BBC to work in a very...

The BBC now have a bigger problem if they back down. The tail is wagging the dog. He’s a football pundit. The BBC is not a commercial enterprise so viewing figures that in all other TV drives advertising revenue are irrelevant. Give him a slot on question time and get Alex Scott and / or a...

Lineker and his boats. Probably needs moving. Nick to MIGRATE the thread ?

Nothing wrong with being an economic migrant. My Dad (mixed race Anglo Indian from India) was. What is wrong is jumping the queue. Millions of law abiding folks want to come to the U.K. and diligently apply each year. We can’t accept all, so a system is in place which filters out those with à...

Lineker: it’s ok to use your platform to air your views, claim you were racially abused because you had slightly darker skin whilst growing up in Leicester (?!?), calling USA a racist country (he’s fronting the BBC, a U.K. public institution, not a private network and the USA are our allies) and...

Wilson 6 Two shots got passed him, one would have been a world class save if he has stopped it, the disallowed one was maybe reacted to a little late. What was notable was his giving the defence a rollicking when necessary. This is something that he has begun to do more and more now he feels...

I’ve had the same thoughts as you but he is weirdly effective. He might look and run like he’s been designed on a ZX Spectrum but he does somehow manage. Many times he looks like he’s lost control of the ball and at the last second he manages to retain it. He collects the ball, appears to not...

I’ve looked a couple of times. Not a strong shout.

I think we’ll go on to win this.

Who are we to say MR has got it wrong, but I think he’s got that wrong.

What is that substitution all about?

If we get F&B kickback for drinks sold inside the CBS, is a fan village impacting on a little bit of CCFC revenue? Anyone any idea how the deal works?

He’s only a poor little brummie… (something about a brick and not singing any more) I was young and it was about the Villa. Can’t remember exactly.

I guess another angle to my boring yarn is the view / desire that Frasers have of a packed stadium. They will probably have some interest in having a larger footfall being herded through whatever they build at the side or over the car parks (parking spaces below, stores above) (wouldn’t put it...
