The BBC

Here’s Raymond Domenech with the horoscopes

Christ they’ll get Baddiel in

get led by donky to do it

klinsman obv

Chappers’ll do it obviously

baroness chapman a big prem fan ?

this is baddiel's hot take. I mean my expectations were already low, but

Indeed. There *is* a 1930s equivalence, which is propaganda by the right-wing British press and British Blackshirts towards Jews seeking asylum. But in Germany, it wasn't about immigrants. The language of hate and disenfranchisement was targeted towards their own citizens. https://t.co/KlQDOczOjz

She's an ambassador for Refuge and I hope they ask her to step down.

not Shearer

I have informed the BBC that I won’t be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night.

Well done Shearer!

Strong European Super League energy right now.

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told.

The decision has angered the programme-makers and some insiders at the BBC, who fear the corporation has bowed to pressure from lobbying groups with “dinosaurian ways”.

the bbc directors seems to be making a lot of very bad decisions, ones that are exclusively biased and pandering to the hard right-wing elements of government and the press that would have them privatised tomorrow. While putting the hypocritical imposition on Lineker it's got to be "impartiality" or career death. They've lost the plot, even more than usual lately.

xp

absolutely shell-shocked by Shearer!

calzino the initial story on Wild Isles was very misleading and has now been changed, with this quote now added from the BBC

“This is totally inaccurate, there is no ‘sixth episode’. Wild Isles is – and always was - a five part series and does not shy away from environmental content. We have acquired a separate film for iPlayer from the RSPB and WWF and Silverback Films about people working to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the British Isles.”

ah right, it would have seemed strange decision since they've been plugging the fuck out of it all week!

less of a surprise, but an interesting way to announce it

Labour condemning BBC cowardice after parroting the Tory attacks on Lineker all week feels parodically LOTOVMIC.

Micah Richards out now.

I just want to let everybody know, I also will not be presenting Match Of The Day this weekend

A list

Who's the Tory on the MotD team? Not Ian Wright or Alan Shearer: so, we're waiting on:

Martin Keown
Danny Murphy
Micah Richards
Jermaine Jenas https://t.co/lTuz6XjFnu

— Metatone (@Metatone2) March 10, 2023

current name out there is Jermaine Jenas

Would imagine Danny Murphy will have to issue a statement denying that he is a Tory and that his love for cruelty and death is completely non-partisan

lmao

Micah Richards has turned it down

Frankie Lamps is at a loose end.

Labour condemning BBC cowardice after parroting the Tory attacks on Lineker all week feels parodically LOTOVMIC.

I expect they will do a stripped down show now, just voice only announcer, match footage and commentators

Steve Wilson, one of the motd commentators, has already expressed solidarity with Lineker, and imagine many will follow. So maybe no commentators? Can imagine fan groups chanting in solidarity so they might have to take out the crowd noise too?

Been on air with the one show. I wasn’t down to be doing match of the day tomorrow, but if I was I would of said no and stood with my fellow pundits and @GaryLineker

— Jermaine Jenas (@jjenas8) March 10, 2023

Can we parachute Dunphy in?

Lmao you’re cooked beeb

Gutted to hear that my good friend @GaryLineker has stepped down from @bbc he’s always had my back and I’ll always have his ! He’s a genuine, kind hearted gent ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/lLJK33EumN

le tiss and david icke dream team?

Saw Clarkson backing Wright too

I know who can host MOTD tomorrow pic.twitter.com/zyRkQhHlCZ

they've really fucked it and I love it. The only options will be embarrassing climbdown or a stubborn self-owning drag-this-out to their own detriment situation. Either way they look fucking ridiculous. They've zugzwanked themselves!

You can add Dan Walker, Mark Chapman and Micah Richards to that list

Sutton and Savage odds are shortening as we speak

political subversive Lineker has finally earned a christmas tree on his BBC "for the eyes of the MI5" file now - a sign of the times I'm afraid!

I don't think Sutton would entertain this - but Savage is just a soulless husk, anything could happen there.

here comes the hotstepper

They could probably coax Alan Green out of retirement - provided he doesn't attack Sunak's NI Protocol deal in the interim.

Still think Shearer is a Tory ... I imagine most of them are.

I've always assumed Shearer is a Tory and even if he technically isn't one then that is some strange aberration yet to correct itself.

Shearer, Lineker, Wright etc. are part of a team that have worked together for a long time. That's my bet for what's driving it, not their politics.

this might be the most legolas gimli meme of the lot. why is kaveh of all people absolutely spitting? https://t.co/Bzl0Afb2hY
