Other programmes are also in doubt, with no live football radio programming for much of Saturday.
Live football broadcasting on the BBC radio has been replaced with repeats of pre-recorded material. Mainstays including Dion Dublin and Colin Murray have said they will not be appearing this weekend. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said the sage showed the broadcaster needed "to urgently protect its independence.Jason Mohammad will not present Final Score.On Friday it was announced that Lineker had been taken off Match of the Day until an agreement is reached over his social media use, after he criticised the government in a series of tweets earlier in the week, comparing language used to launch new government asylum policy with "that used by Germany in the 30s".
Regular pundits Jermaine Jenas and Micah Richards said though they weren't scheduled to appear, they would have sat out Saturday's show if they had been asked. "However, in the circumstances we do not feel it would be appropriate to take part in the programme."
Tory member RichardSharp BBC director general wasn't removed for omitting the truth - failing to mention £800,000 loan he secured for BorisJohnson before his appointment. He donated 400,000 to ConservativeParty WeStandWithGaryLineker condemned for speaking the truth!
This means nothing when I’ve just got news of another one I loved killed theirselves. This shits irrelevant
I heard that Ant & Dec were thinking of not going on tonight with their show in solidarity with the MOD 1 + a few others. Then after a rethink, no they said, we need the money. Sod him !!
Is this story bigger than the Hancock lockdown, which destroyed and ended lives and businesses?
Glanced at this tweet, saw 'Alex Scott pulls out... of Gary Lineker'. Solidarity can be taken too far 😬

Football Focus and Final Score AXED amid Gary Lineker BBC rowThe whole BBC Sport football schedule has been thrown into doubt as more pundits, presenters, and commentators, walk out in a show of solidarity with Gary Lineker. Arsed I’m sure there are a lot of knowledgeable ex footballers who played at a lower level that would be happy to front those shows for a fraction of the fees paid to Lineker and his rich cronies Just get some YouTubers in. Simple.

BBC Sport disrupted as Football Focus and Final Score ‘pulled from schedule’The BBC appears to have pulled Football Focus and Final Score from its schedule at the last moment, throwing the corporation’s sporting timetable into further disarray. Pity those same presenters were not as vocal whilst on a jolly in Qatar. Very strangely they all kept quiet on human rights atrocities whilst building the stadiums. I hope all those backing Lineker are never employed by the tax payer funded institution. Quality response - well said GaryLineker
