tomorrow and neither, I suspect, will anyone else. And anyone who dares be on it should hang their heads in shame (and certainly never Tweet or Facebook or Instagram again).

I'm with you and I hope thousands of others boycott it too. These attacks on free speech are getting totally out of control.

Maybe if Beeb top wage Lineker had backed the far-Right Tory Gov deportations of vulnerable humans including children.

He'd get a raise ontop his £1.3 Million p.a. and be KNIGHTED?

E.G. quote, Good King Chas, "Arise Sir Lineker of LICKERS."

What's Match of the Day?

Join the GaryCott!!!

I did that years ago JK. I don't have a radio either nor a TV connected to any dish, router or aerial.

Nor do I watch sports in pubs.

Getting?!

It's already has, keep up Wyot.

The UK don't have the First Amendment.


I already boycotted spectator sports before it was popular.

Anyway YouTube has highlights of games before Match of the Day is aired. TV is a dying medium.

pathetic over-reaction by the BBC yet they are currently advertising outspoken "Lord" Sugar (who was larfed out of town after his diabolical Sydney based "Apprentice" nonsense)

I don't care what said by Alan Sugar and a footballer use once shat himself on the pitch.

Both need to escape from their ivory towers and breaching contracts.

I won't ever forget buying the crappy Atari GX4000. I wish the stores assistant was honest and told it was a dead console.

As a freelancer on BBC TV for far longer than Lineker, I would have resigned had anybody ever told me what I could or could not say off air. But I actually think it's wrong for any employer to muzzle anybody outside of their work environment. Odd that The Sun - considered a very strict environment - actually encouraged me to "break ranks" in my weekly column. I remember once standing up for the BBC (and producer Michael Hurll when The Sun condemned him for the death on Noel's House Party) because that was my opinion, and the Editor was delighted to feature the other balance to the paper's stance.

I know it's Amstrad GX4000, however I always dubbed it the GX4000 console Atari because it was fucking played like and was diabolical like the Jaguar.

He should of asked for his contract to be changed. (most contracts can be changed)

A business partners know his brother Wayne via work. He is another prize plum and it seems to be genetic. Wayne apparently has or had a bathroom cabinet stacked with little blue pills and vitality tablets.

What is the appeal to Noel Edmunds? I found him boring both off and on screen.

As the Linekar "crisis" spreads and deepens I am feeling cheered. Yes totally silly on one level, but at another this is the vehicle people are using to say enough of politicising, cancelling, bullying and controlling people.

I hope it continues to gain traction - across all BBC channels and programming.

You'll notice this cry for a GaryCott has spread very fast. Just remember - despite Labour and Tories trying to push this as a political row and media trying to make it a BBC bashing event, the real issue is censorship, freedom of speech and personal comments on social media.

Just remember the highlights are on YouTube. I never understood why it Match of the Day has pundits. When it's a highlight reel.

I have never been a fan of GB News it's paid and controlled opposition and is still regulated by Ofcom.

GB News are having a joke with the BBC. However are these journalists so spectrumed to see GB News are having a joke? Of course they can't show any highlights.
