Football legend Gary Lineker 'not afraid' to 'p*** off Qatar' at World Cup

He said: “We’ll be addressing the issues, we’ll be talking about them. And that’s the whole thing that we’re going through at the moment, is how do we do that. We’ve got the opening game and I’m sure we’ll discuss the issues of human rights, homophobia, of the problems with the stadiums and the lives of lost and workers’ rights, etc.”

He also doubled down on his criticism of Qatar hosting the tournament, saying: ‘it was clearly a corrupt bid. The truth is it shouldn’t be there’. But he spoke about his ‘responsibility’ of reporting from the tournament, comparing it to reporting on issues with Russia, meaning that reporters don’t have to agree with situations to report the facts.

Lineker also revealed he’d spoken to players anonymously about coming out as gay saying: "I've had a couple of players reach out to me about the possibility of coming out anonymously. So, you know, I don't know who they are. And I understand how difficult and it's just a massively personal decision."

Finally, asked by Emily Maitlis: "What does it take for [ Gareth Southgate England manager] to stay?" after the World Cup Lineker said: "If we go in the group stage, I don't think he’ll need to be sacked, he’d probably just walk right out the door."

While he’s getting paid he’ll say nothing like the rest of the people who are willing accomplices

Of course he says he won't....his BBC puppetmaster will give him every script.....£1M+ is too big to give up. End of.

Is he going to get off with Alan Shearer?

That bloke would jump on a bandwagon falling off the end of a cliff to get publicity.

SHAMELESS is GaryLineker

I take it he is taking environmentally friendly transport methods? He better realise, he has to follow the laws of that country or get done. Don’t go there if you don’t like it.

We won’t hear a peep out of him…

Guess he'll be wearing his rainbow jacket and waistcoat whilst holding someone's hand and taking the knee on the pitch.

He can shove a bag of crisps up his arse for all anyone cares

GaryLineker I suspect you won’t do, or say, anything that will upset your hosts. But I implore you, really rattle the cage, imagine your following if you managed to get arrested, please for the love of god try.

Good lad.

👍

Respect every country’s law, ritual, belief and faith. Do not think what UK, Europe and USA do, its biblical for rest of the world, even a majority might not hold the same value. Even the law came in the UK in 2012! Who gives you the right to judge others.

Could get some advice from his brother on taking 50 lashings. 😏

On his wages I wouldn't worry either....

Is this Gary coming out
